Nascar @ California 2-22-09
 
Discuss.

I am pissed at NASCAR for starting the race so late. Of course it is raining now. I wish they would have stayed at Rockingham instead of giving California 2 races. :mad:

AMEN.

I live 20min. from Rockingham and I'll never forgive NASCAR for what they did, even if they had good reason.
I'm glad to see Rockingham get some races back again. ARCA and USAR raced there last year. Joey Logano dominated the ARCA race there last year.

I also think they should take a race away from Pocono and give that race to Kentucky. Pocono is the most boring track in NASCAR. They have to throw their "debris" cautions to get it interesting for a few laps there. :c

It's all about the $$$ and the TV contracts now, boys. As are most sports today.

Corporate this and corporate that. The tracks are mostly cookie cutter types and owned by just a few "companies". Gone are the days of those smaller, more exciting tracks. They didn't bring in enough cash for the suits, fans be damned.

This race has been pretty boring also so far.

I'd like jr or Waltrip up front, but for the fantasy contest I'm pulling for Jimmy J today.

Logono's not one of my picks today, but after watching him win at the Rock last year, I'm pulling for him to do some good things this year.

Crap, more freaking rain. It is not raining in Rockingham right now.

Hopefully it will be a short caution.

The funny thing is if you go to Nascar's home page and click on forecast, it says that is it mostly cloudy. They don't mention anything about rain :hm

Re: Nascar @ California 2-22-09
 
Now that Kenseth is leading I bet the call the race.

ROFL! It rained this morning, but clear as a bell since 10:00 a.m. Race would have started at 1:00 here.

Stewart is leading now. He did not pit.

Will this race ever end?
There is some good racing action tonight. The high line is the only thing that's making this race worth watching.

It would be better if they didn't stop covering the race every five minutes to cut to Hammonds and his cutaway engine. I like some of the things they cover, but a little goes a long way.

Radio coverage is better than tv. Turn the sound off on your tv and tune in to MRN radio.

Rowdy is creeping up to the front. Pit stops coming up. Finally starting to get interesting.

It was definitely biffle's fault, not the tire changer. DW was smoking crack on that one

I didn't pick Jr this week. He's sucked at this race the last two years. Didn't figure he'd fare any better today.

Gordon is on fire! Gonna be the leader in another lap or so.
