Pages : [1] 2 3 jsarno 02-10-2008, 03:08 PM I don't know about you guys, but I am very excited to see another NASCAR season here, especially only 2 weeks behind the super bowl and my depression from losing the football season. Go Gordon! I do have a question, what is the point of the shootout? htownskinfan 02-10-2008, 03:27 PM I dont think there is a point,just a fun race.That was a great start for jr,looking forward to the race,my cousins taking her husband for his bday,lucky basterd! SmootSmack 02-10-2008, 03:27 PM It's just a fun way to start the season without any pressure really being on the drivers 500 should be fun next week jsarno 02-10-2008, 03:41 PM It's just a fun way to start the season without any pressure really being on the drivers 500 should be fun next week That's cool. I just thought there was money involved or something. Good sign for Gibbs and Toyota that Stewart finished 2nd last night eh SS? SmootSmack 02-10-2008, 03:43 PM That's cool.

Very good sign :) Especially after he and Kurt Busch had their little scuffle on Friday jsarno 02-10-2008, 03:49 PM Very good sign :) Especially after he and Kurt Busch had their little scuffle on Friday Well, you have the most hot headed team in the history of NASCAR, expect more of that. I just didn't expect to see Toyota have such a good showing so quickly, but it appears the COT really levels the playing field with the car manufacturers.

Good point...we had the race on here but not the sound and I didn't even think about Stewart being in a Toyota. I was really hoping Gordon was going to pull that off!!! But good for Jr jsarno 02-10-2008, 04:28 PM Good point...we had the race on here but not the sound and I didn't even think about Stewart being in a Toyota. I was really hoping Gordon was going to pull that off!!! But good for Jr Yeah, I am happy for JR. now that he has a REAL team. Hendrick will yet again be the cream of the crop for this year. I think Mears will make a big splash this year too. BDBohnzie 02-11-2008, 11:04 AM Kurt Busch is a weasel...not that Tony is a saint. I watched bits and pieces of the Shootout. It's just a fun run before the real deal. Kinda like the All Star race at Charlotte. Mears is a quality driver, but now he's playing 4th fiddle. He is the Cal Naughton Jr. of the Hendrick team. Just looking over the Qualifying results. Neither of the drivers in the first row surprise me. Michael always does fairly well at Daytona... SmootSmack 02-11-2008, 12:14 PM Kurt Busch is an annoying dude. Mainly because he's just really anti-social. I would have preferred if it was Tony vs. Kyle though. That would have been more exciting. Teammate fight!
