The Poojer Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 apparently rules are in place to confuse the rednecks more than they already are....how does Denny Hamlin not win...and even worse...lose to someone who didn't lead a lap....hamlin came back from the 37th position to finish in the top ten...or close to it....bull crap.....hamlin should have had no problems holding the points lead....i like the chase idea...but holy crap....congrats to Midlothian's own....Denny Hamlin....great season!
The Dean Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 I know I am poor enough, but apparently not stupid enough, to enjoy NASCAR. Congrats to Jimmie Johnson.
Just Jack Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 I know I am poor enough, but apparently not stupid enough, to enjoy NASCAR. You need more vagisil.
The Poojer Posted November 21, 2010 Author Posted November 21, 2010 unfortunately..."poor" and NASCAR cannot be used in the same sentence anymore....some of the rigs that fans roll up in are unbelievable....NASCAR sucked me in during my time in Richmond...while I never had a driver to follow until too late(Mr. Hamlin)....i still enjoyed the whole NASCAR atmosphere.... I know I am poor enough, but apparently not stupid enough, to enjoy NASCAR. Congrats to Jimmie Johnson.
The Dean Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 unfortunately..."poor" and NASCAR cannot be used in the same sentence anymore Certainly not about the drivers either, which is where the South Park episode I was referencing missed the mark, IMO.
The Poojer Posted November 21, 2010 Author Posted November 21, 2010 not familiar with the southpark reference...and i was only speaking from a fan point of view about the drivers...i could never get into the races i went to because i didnt have a driver that i followed...and without one, its only 40+ cars driving in ovals...with a driver to follow, i think NASCAR could be a hoot to watch..... Certainly not about the drivers either, which is where the South Park episode I was referencing missed the mark, IMO.

The biggest problem with the chase is that 7 or 8 of the 10 races are at the cookie cutter 1.5 mile tracks which are Johnson's bread and butter. If they varied the chase races, Johnson wouldn't have won 5 straight.

boyst Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 That Happy didn't win pissed me off. I would have knocked out Jimmie. I listened to the race after the game driving back from Ohio. I was listening to Happy's radio when he spun out Kyle Busch. That was great, he goes "this wild man is going to try to come up on me." Jimmie Johnson is destroying what is left of NASCAR that the switch from the Winston Cup did not already ruin.
Marv's Neighbor Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 NASCAR is becomming like all other Sports, they're pricing themselves over what most fans can afford to pay. Their numbers are down compared to 3-5 years ago.
/dev/null Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Certainly not about the drivers either, which is where the South Park episode I was referencing missed the mark, IMO. A very weak reference to a very weak episode of South Park
The Dean Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 A very weak reference to a very weak episode of South Park A pox on you! It was a crappy episode, but the reference was strong, dammit!
/dev/null Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 A pox on you! It was a crappy episode, but the reference was strong, dammit! Very disappointing episode. I expected so much more from South Park. But on the bright side I'm not disappointed in you. I didn't expect much from you
The Dean Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Very disappointing episode. I expected so much more from South Park. But on the bright side I'm not disappointed in you. I didn't expect much from you OK then.

I find it funnier that you believe that.
ExiledInIllinois Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) I worker with somebody who is absolutely convinced that JJ is cheating and stealing a page out of Bellyache's Pats* playbook! :wallbash: The biggest problem with the chase is that 7 or 8 of the 10 races are at the cookie cutter 1.5 mile tracks which are Johnson's bread and butter. If they varied the chase races, Johnson wouldn't have won 5 straight. And the America's Cup wouldn't have been the "America's Cup" for all those years (1857 to 1983: 126 years). Maybe they can call it the "Jimmie Cup!" So no, play to the champs "bread and butter" until one can dethrone them. Edited November 22, 2010 by ExiledInIllinois

The guy's simply a hell of a racecar driver. But, he (smartly) plays for the chase all season. He screws off and is good enoguh to make the chase, and then turns it on on his bread and butter tracks. If there was more variance as there should be, Johnson would have won a championship or 2, but not 5 in a row.
