infrared41 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Denny Hamlin torn his ACL in his left knee during a pickup basketball game and will have surgery at the end of the 2010 season.So much for being considered a top contender for this year.Huh? It's obviously not bad enough to affect his walking or driving, so why would this affect him being a contender? What will affect him being a contender is more bone-head moves such as at California in October, not a tear in the knee. If the knee was so bad to affect his driving, don't you think he'd have surgery today rather than after the season. Oh and I think Jeff Gordon's back last year was more of an issue than Denny's knee this year, and Gordon didn't do so bad, 3rd in the points. Denny probably has a grade 1 tear of the ligament, which is minor compared to a grade 3 tear.ANythings possible. We don't know the extent of his injury, however, waiting 9 months to have surgery is a risky move, but not as riskier of having surgery before the season begins."Not as riskier?" Like NASCAR fans don't have enough stereotypes to deal with already?I'm lost. Can you explain?Apparently. OK. It was a joke. You messed up the sentence. It should have read "but not as risky" not "but not as riskier." The joke was that most people already think we NASCAR fans are a bunch of yahoos. Your goof wasn't helping that image. That's all. It was all in fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jigga Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 If your salary was lowered 10% would it not be a big deal? On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame.

NEW.ERA Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Watching the Arca race today. I can't believe Danica said how do I check my Pit Road speed?You think the crew would have at least told her that these cars don't have speedometers and only tachometers. She still drove to a 6th place finish after sliding through grass with about 20 to go. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure she wasn't searching for the speedo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJMorris3 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 NASCAR has decided that multiple attempts at a green-white-checkered finish is a good thing. Up to three attempts can be made, but only if the white flag hasn't flown yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Aaaaaand Jimmie Johnson wins the first Duel. I swear if he gets the 5-peat I will stop watching NASCAR. I have nothing against the guy, I just don't think anyone should be THAT dominant and make it look THAT easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like why people hate the Yankees. If he hadn't won a championship yet, then I probably enjoy him as a driver, but every time I see him win it makes me sick.

He is more like Bill Belichick, however NASCAR checks all car weights/measurements after each race. Chad's comments on "24/7" indicate that he will try to bend the rules all he can, and will protest whar is not defined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest are just good 'ol boys who would never look for an advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
