All of the NASCAR forums guys picked on me for saying a football game is more entertaining then NASCAR race. That one could gave a football game a run for its money

Don't know my racing, so did anyone expect this guy to take it at all?...Had he been running well this week?

[Phils20]

Congrats to Newman from me as well!

As far as Newman goes, he is a very good driver, and it was not a great surprise that he pulled one out! I don't remember how he ran during the week, but he is a very good driver.

Most of them will Bears if you just sit back and enjoy the actual racing instead of the constant jabber by the village idiots in the booth who try to make you see the race different from what it really is. In their eyes it's all Jr, Jeff and Jimmie. The fact is there are 40 other cars out there. Today they seldom even mentioned Bobby Labonte's name. He ended up 11th which for PE is a good start to the year.

Maybe .... If they don't get the right front issues figured out by then it still could be interesting.

actually, Ryan had usually been the fastest of the Dodges in practice. In the Shootout he showed lots of muscle. In the qualifying race he also did well.

Ryan's problems for the past several years have been that he can go fast (he usually has the most poles in a season), but hasn't been able to translate that speed to the other end of the race. His last win was at Louden in 2005, so he's had a long dry spell...

I think he slipped under the radar 'cause of all the focus on 'Yotas and Jr....

Good for Ryan.

Plus, they kept the Toyota's out of Victory lane at the Daytona 500.

Oh yeah...

I saw THIS one coming!!!



P.S. Congrats to the Ryan Newman and the #12 Alltell Dodge... isn't this great? The SPRINT Cup winner is from the competition?!?

Ya know, I hadn't really given that any thought, but it is cool!

I used to love it when the drivers would throw the competions prop off the car. I think Bobby Labonte won the Exide 500, and tossed the fake battery off his car. Several drivers did this sort of stuff, until NASCAR put a stop to it!
