    The NASCAR Thread

    Daytona 500 going on right now, really liking that you can bump draft now. Still havnt seen "The Big One" yet.

    That was the best Daytona 500 in years, even with the terrible delays. I really hope that when they repave the track, they still make it somewhat bumpy so the drivers slide around like they were today.

    Dale Jr. showed that he is still the best active restrictor plate driver in NASCAR. 10th to 2nd in two laps. He was 18th on lap 499.

    I didn't know whether to be disappointed that Junior finished second or happy that Jamie won. Great race.

        Jr reminded me a lot of Sr the way he cut through the pack there at the end. I went from being pissed off at his run to ecstatic in 2.6 miles....lol

          I didn't really think it was possible for him to get up there, but I knew if he got tires after the Newman wreck he had a chance if there could be a couple more cautions and restarts. When he was 10th at the beginning of the final restart, I knew he had a chance to get up there if he played his cards right. That push from Reutimann really gave him the shot he needed. If only Reut could have stayed hooked up with Junior going into 3.

              That was intense..I didn't think he was going to get up there like he did. Amazing run to finish second. Would have loved to see him get past Jamie, but I'm not to disappointed.

              I can't stand DW in the broadcaster booth..he is terrible.

                Fuck you Jeff Gordon. Spins out Kahne with two to go and ruins what could have been a nice night for him. He definitely had one of the best cars on the track most of the race.

                Congrats to Jamie though. Dale's driving at the end was hella fun to watch.

                    OK, I admit it - I am not a NASCAR fan - but I am not here to bash.
                    Why have the Super Bowl of your season at the beginning of the year?
                    Seems kind of strange.
                    You go through that chase for the cup and what-not ... why not just hold the Daytona 500 at the end of the year?

                    There's no denying NASCAR's popularity, so clearly NASCAR would not suffer if the Daytona 500 was moved to October or November (not even sure when NASCAR's season ends, to be honest).

                        I'm not sure it's all to blame on Gordon. Everyone seemed to come together in that pack after Harvick's moves.

                        Great finish to the race, nice to see Jamie get that win, and great to see that kind of finish by Dale Jr. finally.

                          Busch finished higher.

                            Can't blame Gordon for everyone getting together. He bumped him the first time, but that didn't cause the wreck. With the move Harvick made it was bound to end in a wreck towards the back as everyone starting shifting/bumping.

                              I agree, hopefully he can continue this momentum next week at California, he really needs to put together a few solid races.
