The Official 2007 Motor Sports Thread

Last year I started the official NASCAR thread that eventually faded. However, since there are a few people here who a race fans but maybe not NASCAR fans I decided this year to make one for all forms of Motor Sports. The racing season has already kicked off so to speak and tomorrow NASCAR has its Gatoraid 150's. So let the discussion begin.

That was insane all the penalties levied the last 2 days.

Yeah it was. I Evernham racing is really going to suffer losing all 3 crew chiefs.

I'm still dumbfounded over Waltrip and his penalties. He knows about everything that goes in or onto that car. Theres no way he didn't know they were messing with the fuel. Stuuuupid.

Ah well. Go Martin!

Also. Which hat do you guys like better?

It was very stupid. I wonder if he will even make the field for the Daytona 500.

Well he's allowed to race in the duals tomorrow with his backup car. But I doubt he'll get very far up.

Zuko, I recommend the bottom one. The call center I work at handles NASCAR.com superstore. I do get NASCAR calls since I work in that department.

Hmm. One vote for each. We need a tiebreaker to come in here.

Also today Mark Martin announced he will drive for yet another team in 2007. Now he will add 3 Busch races in the #5 Chevy for Hendrick Motorsports. That brings Mark's total to 37 teams he will be driving for this season.

The duals are coming up at 2pm on Speed. I eagerly anticipate these races. So much suspense and tension. Gonna be exciting.

Well Stewart and Jeff Gordon won the 150's.

Gordon failed postrace inspection and will move to the 42nd starting spot for the 500.

I am very disappointed that I will not be able to see Paul Menard or Ward Burton (man did he look pissed in that one clip rightfully so.)race in the 500. At least he's locked into the busch race.


Also, Jack Sprague on the Truck Series pole.

Agreed. I wish he would just retire already.

Well that was a right bit of bullshit. There was a wreck and no caution was called. Depriving Mark Martin of a Daytona 500 win for now 24 years in a row. Complete and utter bullshit.

And no offense to AutobotJazz but I freaking hate Harvick. So to have him win over my driver by pure stupidity like this just pisses me off to about no end.

Kyle Bush showed why I can not stand him.
