Countdown to Daytona

[lk70]

38 Days, 23 hours, and 38 minutes to be precise.

If there are any members (besides me, Mimi and Isabeau) who care, I'd love to hear who you're rooting for.

Testing has begun at Daytona and the wimpy Hendrick boys are showing good times, but THEY GOT NUTTHIN'

I continue to support Tony...hoping Little E has a better year...and keeping my eye on Carl Edwards...

Anyone, anyone, Bueller?

 

[isabeau]

Thanks for the countdown info, lk70. I am looking forward to race day - gotta love that rumbling sound....... Probably will be cheering for Junior.

I also watch for Carl Edwards because he's good and he has the same last name as me.
Since little E wasn't doing well in the end, I was going for Mark Martin because he's a good racer and you never hear anything but good things about him, so I'd like to see him go out with a championship... but Viagra as a sponser just doesn't look right. Is the next female driver going to drive around in the Summer's Eve Ford? Though, it would give a whole new meaning to "burning rubber" in the Trojan Chevy Monte Carlo.

Love the Daytona 500, the SuperBowl of racing. I just hate that lull in between football and the race. Luckily hockey is back to help me through.

<<< me on the couch , the day of the race ( without the dust )

I'll have to go with the big brown truck, Dale Jarrett ( unless the worlds truly greatest driver ever- ta ta tada....Ward Burton...comes back.) I hear you laughing out there. C'mom, he won it once ya know.

You SIR! Stay out of my thread if you're only going to MOCK! Don't worry, babe, I'll learn ya.


As for the rest of you, YAY! We are now at 38 days, 13 hours and 56 minutes. I'd say we've all got a great bunch of guys to root for.

As for the Summer's Eve Ford...I do believe the Busch Series has a Butt Paste car dirven by a female driver. Some sort of diaper cream I think?

Chevy and Ford have made major mods this year to their cars (a whole new model for Ford even) So maybe will the Dodge guys, having a year's headstart, have a slight advantage?

I'm not a big NASCAR fan myself, but I regard it as legitimate sport, unlike....oh, I don't know....say, WWE for example.

A few years ago, my cousin had a Daytona Party in which 20 or so folks gathered to watch the race on his big screen. This was the first and last race I ever watched from start to finish. During the race, one of the cars hit the wall, crashed and burned, killing the driver who was one of the major contenders. Certainly put a damper on our party.

um that would do it. must have been dale earnhardt senior right? thats when i began watching, after he was killed to see how it would be handled. and i got hooked, first on the colors of the cars. then as i got a looksee at the drivers i always picked who i thought was cute lol but also who i considered a good racer.

If you had your logo on a car they'd take it seriously. Nascar would pass socker as the worlds most popular sport. Think about it. You on the hood and steph and Vae on each door is an advertisers dream. And think of the T-shirt concessions!

 

[Pokey]

Nascar fan here to

I am also a Nascar fan, for the last 20 plus years. Used to watch back when fellows raced and then got out of their cars and fought after the race, most of the time. I have to agree that Mark Martin would be at the top of my list because of the person he is both on and off the track. Edwards is fun to watch, but I also would like to see Jeff Burton do well. I like the Monday night show on the speed chanel during the race season with Michael Waltrip (from my home KY and one of my favorites) but I enjoy the humor of Kenny Schrader also. So many cars, so little time. Budweiser shoot out-Twin 150's-and The Race, can't wait. Great thread.

 

[Mimi]

Oh yeah, love Kenny Schrader. I'd be happy as a clam to see him run a good race at Daytona, too!

Mimi 😉

 

[lk70]

There are few things as funny as Ken Shrader and Mikey Waltrip on Inside Nextel Cup (the Monday night show Pokey refers to). Sometimes I swear Ken is just going to wander off the stage in disgust with Mikey's antics. Throw Kenny Wallace in to the mix and I could watch them all for hours.

Hearing Drew mention the 2001 Daytona sure caused my heart to wrench this morning. I sat in complete and utter stupefaction watching that all unfold. I can still recall the feeling in my chest when Mike Helton accounced Big E was gone. Years later, when I saw Nascar 3D on IMAX, they showed Darrell Waltrip's face as he announced the race and the crash...the ecstacy of seeing his little brother cross the finish line first and the horror of seeing his long time friend hit the wall and his expression as it became apparent that Big E was not gonna get out of that car on his own. Jeez. Ah well, getting all emotional about such a thing is just a product of my raisin' y'all. 😉

AND we're at 37 days, 3 hours and 48 minutes.

 

[kered]

I can't wait to hear "Boogity...Boogity...Boogity! Lets go racin'!

YEAH MAN! Always miss DW the last half of the season.

I remember watching that race and not thinking twice about the wreck because it didn't look as bad as all the tumble and burn wrecks over the years. Being a big fan of Dale's since he became the "Man in Black" my heart sunk like I lost a friend, when they announced his death and I'm not the type to get all caught up in movie/sports stars. Maybe witnessing it live just made it different than hearing or reading about it. I was just on my way out to a friends house and came down stairs to catch the update on his accident , figuring broken bones and such and couldn't believe it. I was stunned. I'm glad I decided to record the race when he won the 500.

I just hope little E can win a championship now.

One of the amazing things about the wreck was that Dale was actually blocking for Little E and M Waltrip so one of them would win the race and that was the first time in could ever remember him blocking anyone and not trying to win. That was some day, one that would be nice to "do over".

I'd have been there for you if I'd have known, you ticklish belle you.

Oh, he can. It may not be his time yet. Too much nonsense over there at DEI. Gotta get the personnel issues straight I think. But Jr can and will do it eventually. Plenty of time.

Speaking of DEI personnel issues, you know what I'm gonna miss? The Dale Jr and Michael Waltrip commercials. Particularly the Domino's ones. Anyone remember...

"I have pizza for Mr. Nascar."
"that's me"
"no, I'm Mr. Nascar"
"ok. I'm the Czar of Nascar"
"El Presidente de Nascar"
"KING DADDY"

ROFLMAO. I'd get that on Tivo and watch it over and over just laughing like an ass.
