NASCAR

Since we have a huge community of NASCAR fans here, we decided to make a NASCAR sub-forum for NASCAR discussions. We've moved the large NASCAR thread here. If there are any other NASCAR threads you'd like us to move here too, please email us a link to the thread and we'll move it. Enjoy!

Well thought now was good as time as any to start another thread. And with the NASCAR season in full swing right now, there is plenty of news to go around. As of now, don't really have any for the Sprint Cup series as news related, but do have a bit of news for the Nationwide Series race. They raced in St. Louis last Saturday night where Carl Edwards (also a cup driver) won the race, though has sparked a lot of controversay with it. On the last lap, Edwards passed Brad Keselowski (another cup driver. Brad and Carl have a history of wrecking each other and so forth. Brad flipped Carl last year at Talledeg and Carl flipped Brad at Atlanta this year after Brad knocked him …

Well here it is as promised...my 2013 NASCAR race reives and results thread. With only ONE week until the Sprint Unlimited (use to be Bud Shootout) means only one thing...speed weeks is only ONE week away. Daytona 500 - the race that starts the 2013 season off- is only two weeks and one day away. And this NASCAR fan is...excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First off, here is a look at this year's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule. 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Well there has been a lot of changes done to NASCAR Sprint Cup Series during this off season. Major one being the NEW car that they got. Looks pretty slick. They are moving from the COT (car of tomorrow) to the Gen -6. Gen 6 The…

Well I may be premature in adding this thread here, but with 54 more days remaining until Daytona, I need something to fix my NASCAR withdrawl! So I will start this year's race review and results thread by posting the 2012 Spring Cup Series schedule (thanks to Jayski... a site that seems to have everything NASCAR related on it!): 2012 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule Am very excited that my birthday is on a Sunday this year...and they will be at Talledega. Just hope that by February they will find a way to change that two by two racing at restrictor plate racing...

Well y'all...it is FINALLY that time of year again! It is now NASCAR season...well the season doesn't officially start until next Sunday at the Daytona 500...but eighteen cars has just started their engines at the Sprint Unlimited (Used to be known as the Bud Shootout). Bet y 'all can't guess who is excited???? I AM!!!!!!!!!!!! The Sprint Unlimited is on Fox Sports 1. Used to be known as the Speed Channel. Will write a summary of the pre season race once it is over. As Rosco would say...I love it, I love it! Khee!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well with the 2011 season only days away (y'all hear me yelling in excitement?! HA HA.) I figured I'd start a new thread for this year's race reviews and results. (I would love to continue to to give the race recaps, results, and point reviews if y'all would want me to? I might even start watching the Nationwide Series races this year to give reports over if y'all are interested. . .) I am excited to report that tomorrow (Saturday, February 12) on FOX at seven PM Central time, (8:00 PM ET) the Budweiser Shoot out will start to kick off Speed Week. It is a preseason race that will not be for points or go towards the chase and will only contain 20 some drivers who have eith…

Somewhere around here we have an old NASCAR thread but I'm too lazy to look for it. Since today (March 27) is the birthday of the greatest NASCAR driver of all time, Mr. Cale Yarborough, I thought it would be a great day to start a new NASCAR thread so here it is. Hey, Garrett, what can you tell us about this weekend's race? By the way, I'm sending a moderator a PM to see if I can get NASCAR in capital letters on the heading like it should be. I typed in in caps but it came out with smaller letters.

This is where I or anyone can post down where drivers start, who has the pole, what happens during the race and how they finish the race. Perhaps put some track info or race info as well. (This is for the Sprint Cup Series, if someone wishes to do the Nationwide Series they can, I don't watch it to really know what happens. But I could post what I read about it online. Just let me know or go ahead and do it. For now, I will stick with what I know.) They will be racing in Indianapolis Speedway...the Brickyard 400. Both Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon had grew up near by. (Gordon moved to Inidanapolis when he was fourteen from California.) The race will start at 1:00 PM EST …

Well y'all it is that time of year again. Last night was NASCAR's Sprint Unlimited race...the pre season race that kicks off speed weeks. The race was accident filled that had started off with Brad Keselowski's accident when Kyle Larson went up the track and got into him. Later Greg Biffle got into the back of Jamie McMurray which collected Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Kasey Kahne and a few others. Later Greg Biffle got in another accident with Kevin Harvick got collected in a big accidents, Biffle hitting the wall hard. Matt Kenseth went on to win the race. After the race, Joey Logano got mad at Kevin Harvick and displayed his displeasure afterwards by bumping into him…

Well I don't want to be hogging the NASCAR forum here, but Roger came up with an idea for a question and answer page for NASCAR and thought it was a great idea. Thought we could post our questions here and whoever who has the answer can answer it. Wish I could say I had all the answers, but I don't. So if there is a question on here that doesn't get answered, I could try to look the answer up. Thanks Roger for the great idea!

Well y'all...they finally did it! Yahoo has finally opened up their fantasy NASCAR up...and guess who already made their league? I DID! I am super excited for the season to start...if you can't tell. This has got to be the LONGEST NASCAR off season ever... Just as last year, am looking to see who all would be interested in joining my league. All are welcome. It is free, easy, and all for fun! Would love to have some Duke friends/fans on my league. Here is the info you may need to join my league (Have to go to Yahoo.com. Have a Yahoo.com address I think (which is free) and go to their fantasy page and then Auto Racing fantasy...) My league's name…

The Sprint Cup is the top series or top devision of NASCAR...the big leagues. It is the series that I watch and follow, so I know more of the drivers and races and info regarding the Sprint Cup than I do the Nationwide Series. The Sprint Cup is a little different than the Nationwide Series race in the fact they have what they call the Chase. The Chase is like the play offs and only the top twelve in points are able to be in the chase to race for the championship. Any driver outside of the top 12 is racing for 13 who wins a million dollars at the end of the season. The points are reset at the begining of the chase which is the final ten races of the season and with each wi…

Well the NASCAR season won't start for another 61 days . . . *SIGH*. . . and I for one am anxious for the arrival of speed weeks. Or better yet for Daytona 500...NASCAR's Super Bowl race. I just checked Yahoo's Fantasy Auto Racing (NASCAR) and they say that the season has concluded (sigh) but will reopen in early January. Only a week or so away! Which got me somewhat excited...for a fresh start in fantasy sports. Though I did make it into the play off section for my fantasy football team... Anyway, once again, am interested in creating my own Fantasy NASCAR league if I can find anyone interested in joining. Otherwise, I could create one and make it public...but it would…

Well I was going to wait until later to post the points since they won't be made official until tomorrow, but don't know when I'll have time to be online next. So I decided to post the unofficial points as they stand now. If I see that they change later, I will let y'all know. Here is the top ten UNOFFICIAL points after Daytona: 1. Carl Edwards 2. David Gilliland 3. Bobby Labonte 4. Kurt Busch 5. Juan Montoya 6. Regan Smith 7. Kyle Busch 8. Paul Menard 9. Mark Martin 10. AJ Allmindinger PS: In case y'all are wondering why Trevor Bayne is not first or on the top ten list in points, since he won today's race, let me remind you that NASCAR has made a new rule. Each driver ha…

I will posting the NASCAR Sprint Cup Point standings on this thread...as the title suggests. I will most likely do it on Monday or Tuesday seeing how NASCAR makes the point standings official on Monday...they do post them after the race, but they are unofficial. Just a small summary for the points. A driver can earn up to 48 points in a single race. They gain a point for each position that they gain...there is 43 drivers that start every race. The winning car will get 43 points, the last car will get one point. Then you can get a point for leading a lap, a point for leading the most laps...and the driver who won the race earns three extra points. There is 36 point rac…

Well I had started a thread like this at my NASCAR Club or what not on here, but figured it might be fun to do it here...especially since we 52 more days until Daytona 500 in February. The last trivia thread I had, I posted the trivia question first and then who ever answered the trivia question could come up with their own question...or could pass. I'll start... What does NASCAR stand for?

Did any of you guys see that unholy wreck?? It just happened a few minutes ago! I'm trying to figure out who the dipsh...sorry...who that dip stick was that started it! Who started that mess???

This is where I will post the point position after every race...or later on in the week. Points aren't made official until Monday after the officials review everything. Here is the top ten in points after yesterday's Phoenix race: 1. Denny Hamlin 2 Greg Biffle 3. Kevin Harvick 4. Matt Kenseth 5. Dale Earnhardt Jr 6. Martin Truex Jr 7. Mark Martin 8. Joey Lagano 9. Kyle Busch 10. Carl Edwards

Hey Garrett (or anybody else who wants to chime in) I was having a discussion with my NASCAR friend earlier this week and the subject came up about how I struggle to find a driver to really get excited about. If only someone would get an orange 01 car, or even any colored 01 car, I would probably become a bigger more entusiastic fan. Being the biggest and most knowledgable Dale Jr fan I know, he pointed something out I never considered. Dale has southern boy roots just like the Duke boys and fewer and fewer of these guys do. Back in the early days of NASCAR almost all the top drivers were rednecks like me. (although being from northern Pennsylvania I'm not exactly south…

I just found this on WSMV ( channel 4 where I live), Chastain and Blaney are battling it out right now. It's the NASCAR Cup Series....only 15 laps to go!

Do y’all have any favourite drivers out there? I get the channels that broadcast it but any other good ways to follow the sport and keep up on the news? Tom Duke

The Nationwide Series which use to be known as the Busch Series, is like what AAA (Triple A) baseball is to the MLB, to the Sprint Cup (Formally Winston Cup). If that make sense. Except that drivers from the Sprint Cup can also drive in the Nationwide Series races if they chose to do so. For example: Carl Edwards, Brad Keselowski, Joey Lagano, Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch drive all or some Nationwide Series races but are also full time Sprint Cup drivers. There are others that do both, but just listed the ones that came to mind right away. Just fair warning, I don't normally watch or follow the Nationwide series race other than to make note of who won or if anything big ha…

Well today was the Nationwide Series Daytona race and sadly I missed it. Oh well guess I probably won't catch 'em all anyway, but Daytona would have been nice. Though I can gaurantee you that I will be watching the Daytona 500 tomorrow. (GO GORDON GO!!!!!!!!!!) Here is the top ten finishes of today's race: 1. Tony Stewart 2. Clint Bowyer 3. Landon Cassill 4. Dale Earnhardt Jr 5. Reed Sorenson 6. Jason Leffler 7. Kyle Busch 8. Ricky Stenhouse Jr 9. Michael Waltrip 10. Trevor Bayne

Tony Stewart and Ray Evernham's SRX series kicked off Saturday night at Stafford Motor Speedway. It started off non dramatic as all the driver's where feeling out the cars. Greg Biffle led all the laps and won Heat 1. Heat two saw a lot more action and the local "superstar" Doug Coby win after passing Michael Waltrip who led most of heat 2. The Main Feature Race action got even more intense with several passes and bumping and moving. It was also won by the local guy Doug Coby who dominated from lap 65. Main Feature Race Results 1 Doug Coby 2 Greg Biffle 3 Tony Stewart 4 Helio Castroneves 5 Bobby Labonte 6 Ernie Francis Jr …

I saw Jeff Burton today. I'll tell you more about it tomorrow....hitting the sack now.
