Who is your top three picks for the title

Jimmie johnson to take #1
Denny hamlin 2nd
Tony stewart 3rd

Tough call but here goes.

1st Carl Edwards - Only missed out by a bee's dick from winning last years title, I think it's his time.
2nd Jimmie Johnson - I to expect Jimmie to have a better season, not sure on 1st though.
3rd Kyle Busch - Only if he can pull his head in. Same goes for Keselowski.
Roughie - Kasey Kahne

[DISTRBD]

Who will win Daytona ?

[TJ]

JPM for all

[PHIL]

Who will win Daytona ?

gunna go for kyle busch. the guys got skill

[Cpt Beaver]

Who will win Daytona ?

Pick a number, any number.

I think which ever team can adapt the quickest to the change to EFI may give themselves and driver/s an advantage. Some may think it's a fairly small change in the scheme of things but considering how the slightest adjustment on these cars can mean the difference between being in the top 10 or at the back of the field, I think its a pretty big deal. No amount of pre-season testing can compare to a 40+ car/500 mile race.
I'm expecting it will become clearer who the front runners are after 5 or so rounds.

this is true i re read your first post and seen efi and thought shiiiiiit. shoulda kept carbies makes it interesting, but i supose its all about progression

[mxracer]

im in usa atm , went for a lap at vegas track in a nascar(passenger ) .was prob detuned or something , but they reckon 600hp and 160mph .. must say .. 2j hiace would chop shit out of it in back of seat take off .. just wouldnt handle the corners .. banked turns are so much easier to carry the speed .. but admit bit dissapointed .. ( only did 3 laps and almost fell asleep so boring ,)

there was a joe gibbs racing vid going around (cant find it ) of dyno tuning one of thier cars and it made 900hp. would be pretty keen to drive one of those ones.

Ford have revealed their 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Fusion.
I'm detecting a slight resemblance to an Aston Martin in the front end styling.

Watching the pre season race ? Most competive I have seen Ambrose to date.

Hope he can bring it home.

Also didnt know this was the first year of fuel injection. Mercedes spec too.

[DISTRBD]

Budwieser shoot out Cry Busch 1st , Stewart 2nd Ambrose 3rd

[zeroyon]

Awesome result for Ambrose !

[DISTRBD]

Few changes this year one inch taken off the rear spoiler , longer rear bumper n holley efi set up . The 500 next week will be interesting to watch , 3/4 the field crashed out in a 75 lap race

[TJ]

McLaren control ecu Simmo ;)

[zeroyon]

ahh yes, you are correct TJ.

[Cpt Beaver]

Watching the pre season race ? Most competive I have seen Ambrose to date.

Hope he can bring it home.



Was looking a little off the pace early but after about 20 laps the car started to come to him.
Ambrose was lucky not to get collected by Busch's speed wobbles on lap 28 and then avoiding Logano's spin on lap 55 after he gave him a little love tap.
Although I'm not a fan of Busch, I've got to give him credit for his drive.

[DISTRBD]

Starting positions for the Daytona 500 next weekend

Danica takes pole for Nationwide race at Daytona


The 35th of 50 drivers to make a qualifying attempt, Patrick posted a lap at 182.741 mph and waited as drivers who had been faster in practice attempted to unseat her.

That didn't happen. Dale Earnhardt Jr. couldn't knock her off. Nor could Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch, Kurt Busch or any of the drivers who followed her in the qualifying order

[Cpt Beaver]

Things got pretty wild near the end of the Nationwide series, I'm expecting we'll see the same in tomorrows Sprint Cup race.

Yes, we'll have to wait a little longer for the season to kick off.

Unfortunate for those spectators who can't hang around for a extra day because of work/family/etc commitments.

[-Luke-]

1st time in 54yrs so I cant really complain! I have the sprint cup taped so can at least watch that tonight, looks like it will be entertaining judging by the video you posted!

[Cpt Beaver]

Montoya just cleaned up the track cleaning truck which then burst into flames. They're still trying to put out the fire.

Race could be stopped depending on how much damage the fire has done to the track.

Absolutely insane - something broke in JPM's car - on the radio just before he said he had lost 2nd gear then something wierd happened...

Thats game over, apparently its melted the tarmac.

Incredible - it really is a rolling fuel bomb.

Video's in links are same/same.

But yeah in hind sight, a tank full of jet fuel and Nascars running around the track aren't the best combination.

[TJ]

Well under safety car they are.

Montoya was on the radio, first said he lost 2nd gear, then something had gone wrong, then you see it snap right, unfortunately at the worst time possible.

[Brockas]

Unreal accident. Pure freak chance that it happened there.

I got up at 8 to watch, booked appointments for 2pm onwards... Still doesn't look like I'll have the chance to see the finish!

[TJ]

I get the feeling that will end up being the finish.

The track is hammered.. but by keeping it online another hour or so they make their advertising dollars.

[Cpt Beaver]

Doesn't help when the trailer is full of jet fuel.

Just to clear up my previous post, I was not saying it's dumb to have a truck with jet fuel on the track, more it was unfortunate that the truck was full to the top with jet fuel.
May have been less intense and easier to extinguish if the truck was only 1/4 or 1/2 full. (Some of my quick replies lack good explanation)

Another issue has arisen, looks like rain is not far away.

[-Luke-]

fuck me Floods,Fire.......whats next the track taken over by locusts??

I guess it's up to the drivers now to decide whether it's safe continue or not.

[Cpt Beaver]

Gone green

[Cpt Beaver]

All looks good except for Ambrose who just got spun off.

[DISTRBD]

Lap 188

Tony Stewart was in the middle of the accident, but might have escaped without damaging his car too severely.

Lap 187

YELLOW FLAG NO. 9: There's a multicar accident on the frontstretch involving Jamie McMurray, Carl Edwards, Brad Keselowski, Regan Smith, Aric Almirola and others.

[DISTRBD]

CHECKERED FLAG: Greg Biffle weaves back and forth on the backstretch to block Dale Earnhardt Jr. That allows Matt Kenseth to scoot away and take the win, his second in the Daytona 500. Earnhardt nips Biffle at the strip for second place.

Ambrose was right up there for the first 100 laps then started to lose a little pace as the race went on.
Got caught up in a spin with 23 to go and sustained some minor damage which ended any chance of a top 10 finish.
Shame because the car defiantly had the pace to finish in the top 10.

Pretty decent finish for Marcus anyway.

Great race. 10 bloody cautions!

He went from 21 to 13 in the last 3 laps, definitely had top 5 pace.

With Harvick in 2nd running out of fuel with 1 lap to go, Ambrose could/should have finished 2nd.
Who knows, he could of even finished 1st if luck went his way. Sucks Big Time

Going to miss this weekends Kobalt Tools 400 in Las Vegas as I'm off to Melbourne for the Phillip Island Classic.
Won't have internet access or Fox where I'm staying so no regular report for this weekends race.

Not sure what's behind the poor qualifier by Ambrose, hopefully it can be sorted out before tomorrows race.

[S_E]

Looks like Bristol is going back to the old one line track since ticket sales have gone way down since they added the progressive banking. I like it how it is now, but I did miss the tempers flaring and contact of the old style short track racing. I reckon if they went to the old style on one end and progressive the other it'd work out ok... I went to the night race in '08 for the first night race with the new configuration and couldn't help but think I was missing out on the old style racing.

Auto Club Speedway is the worst, I think I'll just record the race and watch the last 5-10 laps..

Ambrose was looking strong and held 6th position until he pitted on lap 150. He had an issue with the car while leaving the pits and the team had to push start his car.
He rejoined in 12th and fought his way back to 7th only to run out of fuel on the last lap to finish 20th. Can't take a trick atm.

I love his replies to dumb ass questions




reigning champion Tony Stewart became frustrated with questions about the lack of recent caution periods.

What followed may well be the funniest, most outrageous and bizarre rant in sporting history.

The whole exchange was recorded by veteran NASCAR journalist Jim Utter, who uploaded it online in an audio file.

"We didn’t quite crash half the field, which is what we normally look to do here," Stewart began.

"I got a lot further than I thought I would before I got crashed so I call that was successful day."

As questions about the style of racing under the new SuperSpeedway rules continued, "Smoke" was only just firing up.

[DISTRBD]

This was a very hard hit .

Nowhere to my knowledge did Ambrose state his poor result was caused by his back spasms.
It was common knowledge he was having issues with it over the weekend.
It was I who suggested it may have contributed to his poor finish, not Ambrose.
If you read or heard different then fair enough.

Excuse my newb but can someone please explain the chase to me? I know it is the top 12 cars and it comes into effect late in the season but what does it mean?

Its like a playoff series - the top 12 can only win the title after a certain number of races.

You can be 13th, win every race in the chase, and still not win the title.

Count the first 3/4 of the season as pre-qualifying for the finals.

They're also slow when reporting results which is pretty average seeing they're the official NASCAR website.


Saw Ambrose finished 8th. Did anyone watch the race? What happened?

Ambrose was quick for the first 10 laps but started to have handling issues as his tyres wore.
He spent the rest of the race mostly in the teens while the team tried its best to sort out the balance of the car.
On the final restart with 2 laps to go (green-white checker) Ambrose managed to gain 6 spots from position 14th to finish in 8th.
As the two previous poles show they've got a very quick car but they're struggling to replicate that qualifying pace to full race conditions.

LOL they all block


Kenseth said I was trying to get through there, and Tony Stewart wiped the whole side off my car in the straightaway for no reason and that kind of made me mad."I was in front of Marcos Ambrose and saw he had a run, so I went down to block and he went across the grass and shot me up out of the groove there. It is crazy there at the end. You could see the wreck happening, and I was just hoping I wasn't going to be in it."
