[halicat]

Well ......we are here again....

A new season, a new manufacturer in the mix... and a bunch of cheating bastards on the track...lol

We had some fun last year trying to guess who will finish in the top 5 at every race....lets all give it a shot again this year. I can't promice prizes every race, but there will be prizes... last year AC won a frozen moose turd....
:devil

I do have a prize this week for the person that first posts the winner on this thread....

heres what we have been doing...

pick 5 racers that you believe will finish in the top 5 and an unexpected pick that you believe could win the race ...we call him the "darkhorse"

[halicat]

I'm picking....

Stewart-------Tony learned to concentrate on the big picture from last years relapse to the old Tony....

Kurt Busch---- just because I'm stuck on the "Blue Duce" even when its not blue.

Harvick-------one of the most under-rated drivers and he has a cute wife..8-)

Edwards------ watch fast Carl get up on the outside and live on the edge.

Jeff Burton---- He's just plain good and has the experience...

Dark horse: Deny Hamlin... the kid is a winner and always has a fast car...

lets all pray for a safe and exciting race....

:nana2

[BLEW BUYOU]

I think there are really 18 drivers that could win this race, based upon speed and driving ability. The question is which of those will still be in, in the last 5 laps. Martin, Rudd, Jarrett, Nemechek are completely discounted. To a large extent so also are, Newman, Kyle Busch, David Stremme, Sadler, Kahne, and Kenseth. We must mostly figure these guys won't be there at the end. Can't remember when so many had cars to beat.:beer:

[halicat]

Harvick won the Busch today

Dave Blaney in a Toyota came in second..:shock:

Edwards, Bowyer, Martin, Truex, Dale Jr, Tony, Hamlin and Biffel rounded out the top 10

[halicat]

48 degrees in Daytona right now....sounds like they will be making lots of HP and the track may be a little slick...

[halicat]

shit !

There goes Tony and Kurt.....

this should be interesting...

[mopardave]

That's racin'! Shit happens

[halicat]

no room for error at 185 MPH...

[halicat]

Drag race to the checkered comin right up....:nana2

[blackcat]

Wow what a finish.........................................

[mopardave]

I was pullin' for Mark, I would have liked to see him win.

[halicat]

EXCITING FINISH !!!!

Harvick beats out Martin at the line by .02 of a second

Harvick
Martin
Burton
Mike Wallace
Ragan

prize held over till next week...

Race will be in California next Sunday.....

It was great race to start out the season....:tu:

[pumpkin]

Too late to pick????

[halicat]

not for next week....8-)

[AC-INXS]

Bull shit ending,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,lucky bastard Harvick. I was pulling for Martin at the end,,,,since the Rousch boys screwed up by pulling out with ten laps to go,,,,,,what the hell were they thinking! Save it until two left!

Go race,,,,,,,,,,,,,,next week,,,,no plates!!

[mopardave]

I know some of you disagree... but if there is a plate, it ain't racin. Its just a train show!

[AC-INXS]

I know some of you disagree... but if there is a plate, it ain't racin. Its just a train show!

Pretty much true,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I don't care for the plate races because it takes away from the true aspect of racing,,,,beat the other guys with top speed and driving ability. Too much is taken away with plates.

Thinking the ending over today,,,,,,,I believe Mark got screwed. Yellow should have came out at the start of the accidents going on,,,,it didn't.
Rusty Wallace said the same thing,,,,,,,,,,and he said if RCR was the lead car at that moment and lost,,,,he would have challenged the ending. Rusty said he would have challenged it also.

Watching Biffle and Schrader on Speed right now,,,,they agree, yellow should have came out instead of the green flag "let 'em race back' finish the France's wanted. Screw job!

[mopardave]

AC, I agree. NASCAR will to continue to change the rules to suit themselves. I figure they didn't want Mark to win for some reason or they wanted a spectacular finish with as much carnage as they could produce for future ratings.

[blackcat]

I agree AC should have gone yellow. They need to be consistant and they're NOT!:evil: :evil: :evil:
