LAWeaver Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 4 in a row for Mr. Hendrick at Pocono. It may be a snooze fest of a track, but as a Hendrick fan, it's a decent track. As the not-so-wise Kyle Petty once said, 'Oh my gosh, that's incredible!' @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unocal Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Role reversal from Vegas- this time, Keselowski faltered late and Junior came through at the end. Pretty cool to see an 88 win at Pocono (I was an old-school Dale Jarrett fan and my support was always with the Robert Yates cars until they dropped out). Bit of a wacky, fun race- with pit road shenanigans! (Jimmie's collision with Ambrose, Smoke going in too fast). 4 in a row for Mr. Hendrick at Pocono. It may be a snooze fest of a track, but as a Hendrick fan, it's a decent track. As the not-so-wise Kyle Petty once said, 'Oh my gosh, that's incredible!' 6th different Hendrick driver total IIRC that's won at Pocono (Terry Labonte and the late Tim Richmond).

Unocal Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Question- which of the Busch brothers would you consider the lesser of two evils? Kyle and Kurt are never going to win Most Popular Driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 No one's gonna win Most Popular Driver as long as Little E is on the circuit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalcowboyfan92 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Question- which of the Busch brothers would you consider the lesser of two evils? Kyle and Kurt are never going to win Most Popular Driver.I would say Kurt, because I think he's an easier case to fix then his younger brother.

See Red Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I think Keselowski is worse than either of those two, to be honest. Something about that guy...Then again, I kind of like both Kyle and Kurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unocal Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Who are your favorite drivers, past and present? I used to support the Robert Yates Racing drivers (Allison, Irvin, Jarrett, Rudd, Sadler), but now I'm a Harvick guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzcut Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 No one's gonna win Most Popular Driver as long as Little E is on the circuit....If anyone from Red it or DogeCoin reads this, it'll be bulletin board material. The CCSLC's resident Geelong Cats fan. Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends. Sounds like something from a Rocky & Bullwinkle story arc.

Right now, my current favorite driver is AJ Allmendinger (2009-Present). I got to meet AJ as he had an appearance in Brodheadsville, PA this past Saturday.

wonderbread Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 My favorite has always been Jeff Gordon, I'm looking at other drivers preparing for Jeff to probably retire in the next 5 years, and I like Kyle Larson and Trevor bayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I'm a Jeff Gordon fan as well. Kevin Harvick will likely be my guy when Gordon retires since he's the wife's favorite and he's pretty like able. Maybe whoever takes over Gordon's car will be my favorite, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rvrdgsfn Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Well, I've been an Earnhardt Sr. fan before he died but as of now, I usually have a few I root for, I like Harvick, Hamlin (local boy, what can I tell you?), Little E, Tony, Kes (waits for the rotten fruit). I even like the up & comers, such as the Dillon boys, Trevor Bayne & Kyle Larson.Looks like "The Biff" will stay with Roush after all...http://thatsracinluckydog.blogspot.com/2014/06/greg-biffle-to-remain-with-roush-fenway.htmlNASCAR veteran Greg Biffle and his primary sponsor, 3M, will remain with Roush Fenway Racing, multiple sources have confirmed to the Charlotte Observer and ThatsRacin.com. An official announcement of contract extensions for Biffle and the sponsor with RFR could come as soon as this coming week, sources said. A team spokesman said the organization would continue its policy of not commenting on drivers' contract status until an official announcement was made. Looks like Cousin Carl is on the way out...

Unocal Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Good for Roush holding onto one of their holdovers from the glory days, but still... Roush Racing 10 years ago had at one point Mark Martin, Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards, AND Greg Biffle ALL at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I look for Chase Elliot to replace Gordon and once Khane's time is up, look for Ty Dillon to replace him. Yes Ty Dillon... Childress will probably want him to compliment Austin, but he may not want to live in his Brother's shadow... Think of it as the Busch Brother's.

Unocal Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Is Jimmie Johnson during his run of dominance more or less disdained by traditional NASCAR fans the way Jeff Gordon was during his run?Gordon only went back to back once (compared to the fivepeat, though it would have been 4 if not for Labonte), and did it in a pre-Twitter/Facebook world.

Needschat Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Is Jimmie Johnson during his run of dominance more or less disdained by traditional NASCAR fans the way Jeff Gordon was during his run?Gordon only went back to back once (compared to the fivepeat, though it would have been 4 if not for Labonte), and did it in a pre-Twitter/Facebook world.Most of the venom spewed at Gordon was by so called Earnhardt Sr fans. They perceived Sr's joking with Jeff as his calling Gordo gay. If social media was around then, the disgusting bull that was bandied around in the stands and in some places in the garage would have been worse. The anti-JJ crap on today's social media is based on the fact that he's good AND bland. He doesn't swear on the radio like KyleB. He doesn't explode at the media like Tony or Brad. He doesn't shed tears like Jeff. Hell, he's not the voice of the garage like Jeff Burton, nor the professor like Mark Martin. He goes out, does his job well, and tries to put on a face that's the antithesis of the stereotypical NASCAR driver. Oh what could have been....

Unocal Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 So.... who ya got at Michigan? It's not like Jimmie/Dover where you have 1 guy who's had ridiculous success there. Really, Michigan seems to have multiple different winners in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unocal Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I'll be freaking damned. Jimmie finally won at Michigan. Seriously, if he ties Earnhardt/Petty, he probably jumps the shark in the eyes of most NASCAR fans as "OK, it's impossible to cheer for him." He's owned the Sprint Cup era if you look at his success compared to the Nextel/Winston Cup years it was around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
