I was hoping Mark could pull it off last year. I also like Stewart and never cared for the Busch boys.
 
My almost daughter lives in Mooresville,N.C. and knows a few team members for various drivers. I believe it is Juniors shop right up the road from her place. She turned down private box seats from him already and I told her if she does that again I am going to beat her ass. If she gets a shot like that again I am there.
 
that would be so frickin awesome. i havent been to a race in a while, but im hopin to get to the MONSTER MILE this year. bristol night race would kick frickin ass as well :thumb:
 
Only ever been to one nascar race. Martinsville back in 2001. Awesome weekend. Me, my bro, and dad on a road trip for 5 days. We went to Mooreville Charlotte area after the race on Sunday and toured a few shops and a couple museums. Almost got run over by Rusty Wallace in the parking lot at Penske Racing. My brother is a big time Rusty fan so that made his day. We met Roger Penske when we were there. He was walking in as we were leaving and bumped shoulders with us. Very nice guy to talk to. Rusty was a little high strung though. He was late for a meeting with Roger and my bro was bugging him for an autograph.
 
Ok who's gonna post the specs for the cars ect...race calender blah blah blah.


Full driver listings...i need all the info.
 
I don't believe the final drivers/cars are yet out for 2010.
If they are, can someone point me to where they are? nascar.com still has 2009.
 
I have not seen any locally and they always hand them out around here. They should be out before Daytona 500.

You don't have to...he says enough to turn off most people. He can drive, but as for his arrogant "I'm the best driver in the world" attitude, kinda turned me off.

Anyways, as for the 2010 stuff, I go to www.jayski.com

It's where I get all my nascar news. They've got the 2010 info as well as some of the paint schemes for 2010as well as allot of past info and schemes.
 
I didn't like the wing at first but it kinda grew on me to the point where I just got used to it. I'm glad they're going back to the spoiler though.
 
NASCAR = WWE wrestling to me anymore. I used to love listening to NASCAR because back in the day the only race on tv was Daytona 500. They change the rules as they see fit to get the person they want to win. Very much like a soap opera. I still watch it some but with these new cars they screwed up the good racing at Bristol. As far as a favorite driver, I like the Hendrick drivers plus anyone who can put Montoya in the wall!!!!
 
Any sport nowdays is much like a soap opera. I grew up around racing going to our local short track as well as many other short tracks throughout the northern states and Canada. Our track shut down in the 80's. My dad was partners with my uncle and another guy on a street stock dirt car. So I spent allot of time in the pits. Now, with most tracks in this area closed down for various reasons, the only thing I have to fill that need for speed is watching racing on tv. I like most races on tv but have followed Nascar all my life. I've been to the Daytona track before but not during a race. We were down in Florida on vacation and stopped at the track to get a look. Got to walk out onto the front stretch in the tri-oval area. That place is huge. We could barely see the back stretch while we were standing on the banking at the tri-oval.
 
Great link groomer...Thanks

I was under the impression that the wings on the sides of the main wing were pivotal in keeping the arse end from moving around. They'll lose that now, if it really made a difference.
 
The spoiler won't appear at the first few races. Then they test it March and see how it goes after that.

But the biggest improvement is the larger openings in the restrictor plates IMO.
 
I was listening to sirius 128 on the way home from work today. They were talking about a possible switch from carburators to fuel injection which would do away with the restrictor plates once and for all. The change won't happen this year but who knows. Maybe next year will finally see a modernized engine in nascar.

a very interesting article about the spoiler in NASCAR:

The recent decision by NASCAR officials to revisit the idea of rear spoilers replacing the wings on Sprint Cup cars may require a look back at the history of that device. For the first 15 years of NASCAR's existence, when most of the racing was done in close quarters on dirt bullrings, the idea of using aerodynamics to benefit racecars was considered laughable.
But with the construction of Daytona International Speedway, followed by the additions of high-banked superspeedways in Charlotte and Atlanta -- and the resulting increase in speed -- suddenly the idea of streamlining the cars to gain a competitive advantage on big tracks took hold. However, that came with a corresponding lack of control. The faster the cars went, the harder it was for the drivers to hang on.

NASCAR's newest Bad-Boy?

The hard feelings from their on-track feud in the final weeks of the 2009 campaign may have stretched into the offseason, but that didn't stop Brad Keselowski from sending rival Denny Hamlin a Christmas card. The message on the front was simple: Peace on earth. The personal note on the inside was laughable: "Your friend, Brad Keselowski."
"I didn't want to get wordy," Penske Racing's newest driver said with a wide, mischievous grin.
