[LSC9901]

All during the race and the entire weekend we hear many interviews with drivers, owners, team members and many others associated in some way with racing. During all those interviews they are all some racing term they use. What is your favorite ... or least favorite ???

[SpaceCadet]

Let's see, my favorite is "tail end of the longest line". I can just see the driver's forlorn faces as they drop in at the very end for whatever infraction has occured. It sounds very lonely. I like it simply because it's kind of poetic, don't ya think? Yeah, well, maybe not, but I still think it's pretty descriptive if you have a warped imagination like I do.

My least favorite? Very easy. "Boogity, boogity, boogity boys, tighten up those belts and let's go racin!" I used to think it was pretty funny, but now it's so old and over done that I want to tighten up that gag I can envision across his yapola.

Favourite: Nothing I can think of, off the top of my head.

Least favourite(s): (3) Any word that starts with "aero-"

(2) "Boogity, Boogity, Boogity! Let's go Racin', boys!" (May the fleas of 1000 camels...)

And the one phrase which makes my teeth itch and my hair hurt:
(1) "Back in the day..."

[LSC9901]

YAPOLA !!! I like that one SC.

My least favorite is when Larry Mac say "he took a hard lick" What in the h___ is that supposed to mean ?? I liked a ice cream fudge bar last night, but I couldn't tell if it was a hard lick or not.

I too hate boogity and tighten up the belts. A little bit goes a long way. Just another reason why the announcers could be better than what they currently are.

[Lefty Noob]

A hard lick is a football term meaning a tough tackle. Yet another instance in which stick and ball sports terms find their way into NASCAR. Anyway, my favorite is "get 'im loose and get 'im up into the wall" and in terms of least favorite, the "hitch them belts up..." bothers me infinitely more than "boogity, boogity, boogity" does.

[Souporscotty]

"Go fast or go home"

[PettyBlue]

From years gone bye,I liked when someone would ask what happened, answer blowed up.Hated the line high,wide and handsome.

Lefty ... you're an admitted newbie to NASCAR. The Waltrips will eventually get under your skin !!!

Petty Blue it just goes to show how we on this thread have our different opinions, because I love it when they say "blowed up". Not the engine let go, or dropped a rod, or something technical like that. But I do agree with alot of others here about hating the boogity boogity. I do like that fact that we are hearing all the spotters when they start the races now. All that overlapping talking kind of adds to the excitement of the start.

Ok, there is something so very, very wrong with me. "Dropped a rod?" I know what it means, as far as the mechanics of it go, but I have never heard anyone say this. It sounds like something they'd say on one of those "dysfunctional" commercials! I spent too many hours at the track yesterday. All that noise completely rattled my brain. That might have to be my new favorite term!

[BringBackWilkesboro]

The one time I got chuckle out of something DW said was his description of a very loose racecar: "Sideways, Slideways and Every otherways"

My least favorite, like Bob would be aero push and aero loose. There's also Wing and Splitter, go or go home cars, playoffs, champion's provisional, ratings, Sony HD 500... Boy have times changed.

I'm in agreement with Bob on all of the above. As far as I'm concerned that Boogity is lame and tired, come up with something new.
But the stuff that really really bothers me is when Larry Mac starts talking, I used to have alot of respect for him when he was a crew chief, he DID NOT talk like that, saying extree, and so forth. He is an educated man and he is making a dope out of himself!!!! Oh wait, what is that sound.................
oh yeah, the sound of

[Racer Duck]

favorite terms: "The Glen", "something in the engine" & "no brakes" (last night in the Busch race Kasey said he had "no brakes", but he blew 'em away anyway - King Richard claims that was the secret to his success .. learned to drive without brakes!)

least favorite terms: anything the media picks up that becomes the catch phrase for the year... "Boogity" has outlived it's usefullness by at least 3 years... "aero-..." will go away shortly - the COT is taking care of that!

[Bob Tanner]

I forgot my MOST disliked terms for this weekend

(1) Coca-Cola 600 (It's the WORLD 600, damn it!)

(2) Lowes Motor Speedway (It was, has been, and will ALWAYS be the Charlotte Motort Speedway!

Coming up later in the year:

Pepsi 400 (Firecracker 400 - do they shoot off Pepsi's on the 4th of July?)

The Allstate 400 at the Brickyard (It came into this world as The Brickyard 400; it's darn sure go out that way, with me, anyway)

Mentioning a NASCAR race on Labor Day at California (R.I.P. Southern 500, we miss you)
