BrySmalls Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 The Daytona 500 is almost upon us! After a 2.5 month break, Nascar is back with much change. The main question is and will be revisited in November is whether or not Johnson can pull off the four-peat? Kick the tires and light the fires!

raysox Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I'm excited. Hopefully Kahne can be hot throughout the year, and not just for a month. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakwood Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I hope Carpentier can pick up a ride somewhere for the upcoming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrySmalls Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 I really hope Smoke and Rocketman are a formidable team especially with Hendrick engines and new crew chiefs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Should be a good season. I am curious to see how Smoke does with the new team. The 48, 18, and 99 cars are still the ones to beat in my opinion. I think Brian Vickers has a break out season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I know it's a bit of an outside shot, but I'm really cheering for Mark Martin to do well this year. He's pretty much the only driver on that list who had driven in a Winston Cup (I will forever call it that) race before 1990.No Morgan-McClure #4 this year? That's got to be the first time since at least 1988. I've been used to seeing that #4 (always the same font) over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanMcD29 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 With Harvick's win last night in the Shootout, I'm hopeful he ends up in victory lane a couple more times this season Twitter: @RyanMcD29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He drove great in that scrap metal from DEI last season. Just think what he'll do in Hendrick equipment. Hell, he's already row one at Daytona. I think he makes the chase and then who knows what happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can get to Daytona or Talladega, please do so. I have also been to Indy before the IRL split and I think I had more fun at NASCAR. The DEI/Ganassi guys ran qualified well, but I am worried about how JPM will handle the traffic with no testing. The fall 'dega race he was competitive. The Roush/Fenway was slow and Haas/Stewart was good Hendrick power. Mark Martin is in his best ever chance to get a him here as well as a title, but 48 is still there until Homestead.

Coca-Cola 600. It was easily the best time I've ever had at a sporting event. I've been to MLB Playoff Games, The NCAA basketball tournament, The World Series, NFL games, and NHL games. NASCAR blew them all away. It's the best "in person" sport out there. We're going to the 600 again this year. Favorite Drivers: I have three categories. Contender: Jimmie Johnson or Jeff GordonMiddle of the pack guy: Elliot SadlerNo chance driver: Michael Waltrip. Edit: Does anyone have expertise in Nascar sigs?That would be great.

gingerbreadmann Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Jeff Gordon FTW!Go Hendrick. And yeah, Chris should get a Racing section of the site or something. I've never really thought about NASCAR graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 All amazing.Who's ya'lls favorite drivers?Mine's Kahne, formerly RuddWow...I was a huge Rudd fan through the '90s!Right now, I'd have to say my favorite driver is Denny Hamlin, I also watched Reed Sorenson beat everybody as a 13-year old racing Legends cars at Charlotte, so I like to see him do well. The Busch brothers, and Yates Racing are others I don't mind winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myartsaywhat Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I like Jr. and always cheered for Sr. I like hating Kyle Busch, because it's great to have a bad guy. Busch vs. Edwards last year was a blast to watch. I also am rooting for Joey in #20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
