yankeeman161 Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 all right people, it's time to strap them in because it's time for the Super Bowl of Auto Racing and the start to the new NASCAR season: The Daytona 500 is this weekend.It's time to choose who will win this year's Great American Race.My picks are the pole winner Dale Jarrett, a 3-time winner and the last time he was on the pole for the 500 in 2000, he won the race.Also, I believe that another former winner will do so again and that is the "Wonderboy" Jeff Gordon.SO START THOSE ENGINES AND CHOOSE WISELY.

thejroll Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I think Kurt Busch is gonna win. I think he is the one of the best restrictor plate racers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OB33 Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 You know what? Why not? I'll take Rusty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STL FANATIC Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Rusty's the guy.I'd be more confident if he could drive the car he thought was doing well, but Kevin Harvick is an idiot, so Rusty will have to drive his backup car.The backup didn't run real well in the Shootout, but Rusty's gonna find a way this time.

I so hope you are right. It won't be anything like when Dale Sr. won, but it should be a nice scene if he does.I've been a Rusty fan since before he won his one and only championship. Nothing would make me happier than to see him finally dropkick that monkey. If he could find a way to win Sunday, I'd be willing to predict a exit like Elway, holding a Championship trophy high over in November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I'm a big Jeff Gordon fan so I guess I should pick him. I'll also consider Tony Stewart or Dale Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclopsis Joe Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 I think Kurt Busch is gonna win. I think he is the one of the best restrictor plate racers. Bwahahaha..Yeah right.It'll be Hendrick, Cat in the Hat, or DEI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZzyzx41 Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Jimmie Johnson That's my pick. Jimmie Johnson is cool as ice.Can't pick against Jeff Gordon either. So I'll take him as a second pick and...Kurt Busch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFoA Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 I'll be rootin for the #9, but my gut says that Jimmie Johnson's gonna take this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEAD! Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 It'll be the redneck in the car going left in circles like a dope. Anyways, what's the point of going 500 miles when you just end up where you started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, your pick for the World Series is the bunch of idiots running 90 feet in a straight line over and over again?And the NBA Finals is the team with the dolts who run up and down a hardwood floor over and over again?And..well, you get the idea.

randyc Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 You know what? Why not? I'll take Rusty i'm going with rusty also, because he's my favourite driver, and it's a shame he's going after 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheateater Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Uh, baseball players turn every 90 feet, though, so they thereby never run 90 feet in a straight line "over and over again." If they did, they'd only run down the left-field line FOREVER. There's also a lot more to b'ball than running up and down the hardwood, but I'm not a big hoops fan so I'm not gonna defend that one. But...Can't they all drive clockwise for once? Or did they all fail their driver's tests when they were 16 because they couldn't properly execute a right-hand turn? Ah, I'm just kiddin'. It's just some good-ol'-boy light-hearted ribbin' goin' on. Boogety-boogety-boogety boys, let's go racing!!! (Seriously, that's gotta be the most redneck thing I've ever heard...)If you want a prediction: can't bet against Earnhardt...(or can you? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epper Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Before yesterday's 150-mile duels, i would have gone with Jimmie Johnson. He won the Shootout last week, and was leading the Duel when he was taken out by Harvick. Now, after the damage, i would have to go with Tony Stewart. He won the other Duel, finished 2nd in the 500 last year and is always a factor on the Plate tracks.Although its really pretty dumb to go against either of the DEI cars at Daytona or Tally. Junior and Micheal are have won like 10 of the last 15 or something stupid like that.I highly doubt it will be one of the Roush Cars (Busch, Martin, Kenseth, Edwards, Biffle). It seems like they always have bad luck in the 500, either with engine failures or whatever else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
