Nascar at the Talledega Superspeedway today...

[halicat]

"Its the end of the World I tell ya"

This rings true today with Toyota taking 5 of the first 6 starting positions....and Mikey Waltrip getting the pole.....WTF !...:eek:

The big question is will the Toyota engine hold up..

2.66 mile Tri-oval with an awesome 33 degree banking on the turns and straight stretchs almost a mile long................

freight train anyone ?

most of the cars in the Chase are near the rear with Tony Stewart closest to the front starting 11th.

A mid pack wreck could turn the Chase standings upside down today..and Juan and Rotten Robbie are starting off one row apart. There will be many people on the edge today..

My picks:

Tony Stewart
Truex
Hamlin
Newman
Burton

dark horse: The Biff


line them up and knock them down...lets go racing !!!\

I was wondering if you were going to post this morning,,,,,thought maybe Nikki was getting a fluid exchange, instead of the NASCAR thread going up? :mrgreen:

You assmunch,,,,,taking the Smoke to win :bows He's got to be pissed lately, and will drive like a wild man to win this one!!

AC's picks:

1. Kasey Kahne - DODGE > has to feel lonely outside the chase field
2. Smoke Stewart - Chev > because Jimbo took him ahead of me, lol
3. Matt Kenseth - FORD > will stay conservative to gather points
4. Greg Biffle - FORD > two Rousch cars in the front,,,,Carl too far back to last without being in a wreck
5. Ryan Newman - DODGE > hungary for any spot in the top 5. Penske has found something to help them.

Dark Horse pick > - Dave Blaney > Toyota just to piss you guys off. Only Toy engine and driver combo that has a chance. It could happen,,,don't laugh.

I really like the chances for John Andretti to finish in the top five today,,,,,,,just couldn't find the balls to list him there :frown:,,,,but keep an eyeball on him

Villeneuve made the field in his first cup ride :eek2: > He, like El Toro, are for real. Just not today.......:nono:

Start 'em up,,,let's GO RACING.................

Bill... I think Truex is sugaring Little E's gas tank every week....;-)

[halicat]

AC,

I had to pick Tony just for the reasons you stated...The man was wild..... I bet Zippy got a face full when tony got back to the pits...

All race he will get out to the edge and Zippy will be saying "big picture"....but it won't help... The old Tony will be back and kicking ASS...

Wouldn't it be a blast to take the Kat around the track just once.....Dreaming of a rush here...:smile:

Somebody's doing something. It's beyond chance.......

[POOLKAT]

A friend is getting married today or I would most likely be at the race. Been to this race a bunch of times, what a spectacle!

1 JR
2 Jeffie
3 Smoke
4 Kurt
5 Mikey

[halicat]

great to see you posting Tom... we've missed you...:tu:

Make sure you come back every week for the Nascar excitement....The race for the championship is going to be wild !

[POOLKAT]

Thanks Jimbo. Buisness keeps me almost totally away from the computer during the summer, but that's almost over! I will be throwing my 2 cents into the ring alot more now!!!

[AC-INXS]

"Wouldn't it be a blast to take the Kat around the track just once.....Dreaming of a rush here...:smile:"

I'd sacrifice my left nut to do that!

Give me just an hour on the track,,,,,,to vent out my dreams and emotions!

David and many others,,,got to run on Tex. M.S.,,,,,way back in '01

Did I say my left nut? I meant Snoman's left nut,,,,he doesn't read the racing stuff, lol.

[halicat]

I'm offering Snomans right nut for an hour of fun on the track.... heck thats win/ win for me....8-)

I can go out to a road track here in NS and for $125 they will put a professional driver with you for a couple of laps. then lets you go an hour on your own...I wish I had the money....

here is a youtube of a lap with a motorcycle on this course...

[halicat]

Miss Alabama is singing the anthem... and she has teeth ..:eek:

[AC-INXS]

:tu:Looks well worth the money! Awesome rush!

They let you use your on car, right?

Do it,,,,heart pounding excitement. Similar to our Devil's Highway cruise a couple of weeks ago,,,,,except, we were dropping 10,000 feet in elevation, and couldn't go flat out except during one five mile stretch of road.

[halicat]

yep, you can use whatever car you want....

I just found out about the do-it-yourself program there a week ago...

we snuck in there on our motorcycles quite a few years ago and got one lap in before they put the run to us... it was a blast...

maybe I can rent out one of my kidneys...lol

[halicat]

These guys are fearless.... 4 wide at 198 mph.... :eek:

Mikey has a baggie on his window....

caution is out ...

[halicat]

Burton detonated....there is one of the chasers out...

[halicat]

There goes Truex with a blown motor....

They are getting racey.... The BIG one is just on the horizon...

[halicat]

Little E loses his engine.......it is the 3rd Childress motor to go.... Harvick is next....

[halicat]

MAYHEM !!!

:eek:

[AC-INXS]

Harvick is next to lose a Chev motor,,,,,,most Chevs can't handle the rpms.

Baggie on window? NO,,,,condom Toyota put over that dickhead driver...

Hali and AC are going to bite each other's nuts the last 4 laps. Hope I don't win,,,,,,,,I'd hate to pick the winner 3 weeks in a row :eek2: :icon_twisted:

In a way,,,,I'd like to see El Toro win,,,,so I can give BlkCat some crap, lol.

Kenseth in wreck,,,in the wrong position when the crash is happening > too conservative, as I said,,,,,with a car capable of winning.

[halicat]

WOW... Dodges are rockets today....Kurt Busch is looking good as well....

Kahne and Smoke will be door to door acrosss the finish....

ouch !....:eek2:

[halicat]

I wouldn't want to have Juan in my mirror on the last lap...:eek:

[halicat]

Blew Buyou called it #24 for the win


good work Jim...:tu:


Was that exciting or what ? !!!

What an awesome finish... and a fantastic race... a nail biter ...a thriller...

Damn that was good...

Gordon
Johnson
Blaney
Hamlin
Newman

WOOOOO HOOOOOOO....


next race is Saturday night at Lowes in Charlotte.......


be there or be square...

[AC-INXS]

Damn,,,,BS,,,,,BluBalls Jim always picks the same cars,,,,same order. :biggrin:


Atleast I had Newman 5th,,,,,and with another lap, my DH Toyota pick Blaney might have won?

Smoke screwed up by switching back and forth,,,,and when it counted, the Chevy boys made him pay by leaving him out to dry, and not letting him back in. Smoke actually pushed JiffyLube ahead with a bump, to give that suck butt the win,,,booo,,,booo,,,booo. I was hoping the fans would throw beer cans at him......

Dodges were strong,,,,,just needed the line to be longer on the top side, but when so many Fords wrecked out, that wasn't to be.

:bowsCONGRATS BluBalls,,,,,,,,,,, :vomit: on Hendricks drivers

[halicat]

yeah.. I was dissapointed not to see some Air Bud.....lol

Next year they will have to throw Corn Flakes....:rll:


Tony should have stayed in line and forgot about the blocking...he'll review the tape and kick the dog...
:beer:

[AC-INXS]

"Tony should have stayed in line and forgot about the blocking...he'll review the tape and kick the dog..."

Right on Jim,,,,,,the fastest cars didn't finish in the correct order. The longest line of air busters finished ahead of the fastest cars. Get rid of those front air spoilers and those Jap rear spoilers,,,,,and let horsepower and driver's skill determine the outcome. Restrictor plates also need to go away,,,,,,makes the races rather boring,,until the last ten laps, jmo. Even Jethro E. made that statement after his engine failure....
