RyanMcD29 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Fox is using it's NFL on Fox intro music for the Budweiser Shootout. Wonder if we'll see new graphics.Yeah Speed's been using the new Fox Sports graphics all weekend and Fox is doing the sameOh, and two thoughts speaking of which1. They better switch to these graphics for baseball. No more FSN graphics2. This is why having the same theme song for every sport on your network sucks. I called it in October, but the NFL on Fox theme song is extremely out of place for NASCAR Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmaker17 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Not a big NASCAR guy, but I do like to see the new paint schemes every season. I can't seem to find a website that makes that an easy endeavor.....any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 rainmaker17 Jayski has all your Nascar needs including all the Paint Schemes.Also Speedweeks got kicked off tonight with the Bud Shootout, not the most competitive of races but most Shootouts aren't lately. Kurt Busch picks up the win and I'm sure the Duels will be much better on Thursday.Daytona 500 Pole Qualifying is tomorrow afternoon.

NEW.ERA Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 Well i'm very much happy with Little E and Gordon sitting on the front row, both need a good boost of confidence to start the season off and I hope both do well come Sunday.

Camden Crazy Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 My family and I used to be huge NASCAR fans...to the point where we would get together every Sunday and watch races. My one uncle even ran a fantasy league for us and did the scoring and everything himself. Then after '01, it seemed like all of us stopped watching at the same time. For awhile I used to just watch Daytona/Talladega/Bristol, but now I don't watch at all. I don't know what it is. I think it's a combo of the overhaul of NASCAR's image (for the worse), changing the name from Winston Cup (which is what it'll always be known by to me), and Jeff Gordon not doing a thing since 2001, although the stupid Chase cost him another title a few years ago.Another thing that bothers me is all of these new cookie cutter tracks that all race so freaking boring. Las Vegas was fine, but then you add Kansas/Chicagoland/Kentucky and it just gets so freaking redundant. I miss tracks that had some character to them and were different from the others. North Wilkesboro, Rockingham, and Nazareth come to mind. I would love to see some more original tracks pop up, be it through construction or moving to a smaller place. I would kill to see another restrictor plate speedway built. That's why I was against getting rid of a Darlington race and am still against getting rid of a Pocono race. I just hate seeing two races at tracks like California/Michigan/Vegas/etc. that eventually put me to sleep after watching for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epper Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I've never been a Junior fan, but I do really want to see him succeed this year. It's really a make-or-break season for him and he's had so much pressure on him since the move to Hendrick. Like him or hate him, it's good for the sport when Junior is winning races. Plus his Amp scheme is among the top 5 best looking in the series. So clean:A few more thoughts on Speedweeks so far:• No, I don't think the France family is rigging the sport for Jr. It's Daytona qualifying, where the engine means 80%, aero means about 15% and driver means 5% (if that.) Hendrick has always been strong there.• The 2-car breakaway drafts are really interesting. Ryan Newman said "That was the most unexpected race I've ever been a part of." after the Shootout. Earnhardt Jr. said, "This is ridiculous as s---." over the radio during the Shootout. Cars can get up over 205mph in the 2-car draft, blowing by other cars by over 15mph at some points. Gonna be a very intersting 500.• Love to see Trevor Bayne take one home for the Wood Bros. after a stellar qualifying run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFoA Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Daytona & Bristol are the only two tracks I watch when it comes to Sprint Cup (more of a F1 fan when it comes to motorsports), so of course I'm taking an interest in this fortnight @ Daytona. Saw the highlights of the Bud Shootout, and yeah, the 500's gonna be outrageous if the Shootout was any indication. That was the weirdest Daytona race I've ever seen.

sc49erfan15 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Granted, I only saw the video twice (and I am a Hamlin fan) but did Hamlin really "pass" below the yellow line to lose to Busch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Granted, I only saw the video twice (and I am a Hamlin fan) but did Hamlin really "pass" below the yellow line to lose to Busch?The rule is written that if you "advance your position" by going below the yellow line (which Hamlin did to get by Ryan Newman) you must give back the position. He did not (because the race ended) therefore he was disqualified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Actually,the more Jr fails, the better it is for the sport. Why? We can finally get rid of Junior Nation, the worst thing to ever come along in racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
