2010 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series

[Omer Said]

No no no, that's not i was talking about, i meant hitting ahead car from inside and spin him. Was that called "Scandinavian Hit" ?

I recently watched Montoya's documentary about his NASCAR career at National Geographic and he was doing this at every race

 

[Austin Jordan]

well i came to the point to decide which direction i need to go. never raced on an oval but ever since i was 8 i wanted to race in nascar. don't really have the money to fly to europe and run the formula stuff for f1/indycar so i'm gonna see how i do in stock car. i know a lot of cars that lead up to the series but don't know where to go. the best is legends cars (cars from the 30's), late modified, wheelen modified, and quater midgets. what out of those are the best to get into the series.

 

[Sidney Thomas]

I would say Hooters Pro Cup or Arca Remax. Some get picked up from USAC. Others would be Super Trucks and Late Model

 

[Austin Jordan]

late model is what i meant by late modified. arca is good aswell but still you get picked up by a team in that series. you can start a team but it just a lot of money.

 

[Fredrik Arbegard]

I have a friend who runs Legends if you know what that is, aperently it isn't that much expensive compared to karts.

 

[Austin Jordan]

oh yeah. from what i know tires last all year, you gain money in a race instead of losing (you get as much as you paid for if your last), a bumber is $25 which is a quater of how much a kart bumber is. what i'm thinking of is going to legends, learn how to do good since i know a guy who's roomate in north carolina (he lives in florida) won the legends million, then go to the nascar all american series.

 

[Mike Bell]

or how about kidnap a nascar driver and have plastic surgery to look like him and drive in his place

 

[Austin Jordan]

that would work for you mike from nick's world

Since yesterday NASCAR went into their so called playoff format. 10 final race to decide the winner of 2010.
In this thread you can discus on what do or did you think about the final 10 races :wink:






Loudon, New Hampshire
What I saw yesterday was not fully shocking, but really exciting finish.
some great battle, an empty fuel tank and some great comeback by chase and non chase drivers :wink:

 

[Austin Jordan]

i'll be happy not to see kyle busch and jimmie johnson win. hate busch and tired of jimmie.

 

[Christopher Aponte]

although i'm thinking the same, I cannot deny that JJ getting his 5th title is really really strong
as he just got bumped 1 extra position yesterday due to Clint Bowyer being heavily penalized....

this weekend it is the Monster Mile

 

[Austin Jordan]

yeah feel bad for bower. be cool to see him win. hamlin needs to do well at dover which he has in the past to hold on for california and espeacialy taledega. that makes it or breaks it for drivers

 

[Christopher Aponte]

yesterdays race was interesting.....some had problems, and others were able to bounce back......either way many made big gains on Denny, with JJ being to most on gaining....I fear that he will go for nr 5 for sure

 

[Christopher Aponte]

It has been a long time since I updated this thread

but who would have guess this chase race is still so tight after Martinsville
I really thought JJ will again get away with the championship. But until now it has been proven that he really need to fight for it. And next round is a Russian Roulette round with the Talladega race

 

[Austin Jordan]

yeah this race makes it or breaks it for chase drivers. you never know who will win untill the final 10 laps. if jj wrecks then hamlin may have it locked up.

 

[Ryan Callan]

Roll on Talladega

 

[Christopher Aponte]

indeed...let the dice roll

 

[Austin Jordan]

yeah i get to go to daytona and watch the races there every year. talk about fun. always can do something there and racing is absolutly intense

 

[Christopher Aponte]

for those who are interested
Nascar.com is broadcasting the talladega race live right now
4 lead changes in 4 laps already lol

make it 5 leaders in 5 laps

 

[Christopher Aponte]

the chase race just got tighter.....
I am still rooting for Kevin Harvick to win this as don't want Danny or Jimmy to win it
