Just Jack Posted February 23, 2014 Author Posted February 23, 2014 I actually like the elimination format of the Chase, it's something I've said for years they should implement.
boyst Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 I actually like the elimination format of the Chase, it's something I've said for years they should implement. Agreed. I also would like to see more green and less yellow. I have no idea how to do it but they need to eliminate problem drivers that cause yellows. Removing Danica Patrick would be a big start. Anyway, off to the farm for work. Gonna be blasting this thing on the stereo.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Kasey Kahne is my dude! Met him at an Evernham Motorsports party (my buddy is an engineer there). Really cool guy...talked to me for a bit and even did a shot with me and my friends. Let's go #5 Chevy!!
Kevin Posted February 23, 2014 Posted February 23, 2014 Rain delay, tornado warnings? Sheesh. Time to sneak in a nap.

It is different then with football players because you see them at normal places. I have seen a bunch of the RCR members all over town up here. You see a bunch just around the area, too. I was driving down I85 and was right beside Jack Roush. And yes, he did have the hat on.

While walking the town square we saw Fatback McSwain, Sterling Marlin, Ricky Craven, and Scott Pruitt (day before the race). Race day I saw Tony Stewart, Kyle Petty, Jeff Gordon up close. Almost tripped over Stewart while I was looking at his "show" car. The accessibility of the drivers to the fans is awesome.

You'll see Richard and Kyle, as well as wives and other drivers affiliated with them. Go about 30 minutes West to Welcome, NC and you'll run in to anyone affiliated with RCR. Go North East to Kernersville and hang around a certain BBQ place and you'll see Kevin Harvick, who lives right down the road and married a girl from there. Go to Mooresville, Kannapolis or Concord and you'll see who knows who on a weekly basis. I know this is a Bills board and people there likely run in to the guys about town on an occasional basis but for the most part NFL players are not as every day as NASCAR drivers. I cannot count on my hands how many times I have seen Chocolate Myers at Lowes, how many times I have seen Richard Childress at his vineyard and little plaza, how many times I have seen a pit crew guy or shop guy just at the gym, store, grocery store or driving.

boyst Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 Just got to watch the last 2 or 3 laps. What a beauty. Love seeing Junior win races.
Donald Duck Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 On a track that has taken so much in ways only Dale Jr could fathom, a heart felt "I'm sorry" was given, in the only way the Daytona 500 could give....
The Poojer Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 it was an excellent race...all the cautions came after the 150 lap point(or there abouts) and in Danica's defense, she got taken out and went into the wall incredibly hard, they had a camera on her face during her crash and it's amazing to see the reactions or lack there of...i'd be screaming and crying

This was my first thought. The first year with #3 coming back and Dale Jr takes it down? Couldn't be scripted better.

The first driver to think right hand turns come with a part of NASCAR
