Auto Racing - April 2007

I'm not a big NASCAR fan so I'm not fully aware of the rivalries in the sport, but I've heard that some people hate Jeff Gordon, why is that? I would love to know more, so specific and detailed answers would be appreciated.

Are there any other major rivalries in the sport, or unpleasant drivers?

I thought it was rude. He is a good driver and I think people need to respect him more. Maybe that's their problem.

jesus i thought Jeff was bad at whining, althought he has matured alot since the beggining of his career, Tony now seems to be worse at whining about stuff than Jeff did back a few years ago. Poor Tony, i'm so sorry that he can't have everything his way. Hell give me a break someone needs to b*tch slap his retarded a*s.

Do you think that they should actually start setting up leagal street racing? Meaning they have a set area on certain nights or days where they block off and they have their races? And maybe have an officer or two watching them and making sure nothing goes on? I mean... Heck... People put alot of work into those racing cars... Just to lose them if they get caught... But if they have the same rules... But under more controlled circumstances... Think it would cut back on alot of people from gettin hurt in these?

Please hear me out: I'm a huge Smoke fan, and I am also an honest fan. We all know that Tony can have a temper, and he says what is on his mind. To me, that's totally fine. I like his fire, and I look foward to hear what he has to say about things. However, I do oppose extremely bad language or something like that. Other than that, whatever drivers have to say is something I want to hear, no matter what.

Now, what is NASCAR doing? Tony Stewart is getting WAY too much attention these days. The man hasn't done something absolutely out of control...he's just frustrated about not winning! He's mad about about silly cautions for no reason, too! Wouldn't ANY driver? Why does NASCAR make all the drivers into the same person who can't speak their mind? I mean, on TV I've seen outraged people about what Tony said about caution flags! That is insane! What are they doing to the sport? It's going to be really boring really fast if they keep this up. I'm tired of it...

Will you also admit Jeff Gordon is the best driver in the era of even racing and skill driving?

I think Jeff Gordon should take a case of beer out to the parking lot with him and start chucking full cans at those idiots (and their cars) who threw it at him! I bet those people wont think it's so funny then.

What's your ideas for a solution (or payback)?

2007-04-30 10:20:34 · 28 answers · asked by Anonymous in NASCAR

The fans have proven that full cans can be a dangerous weapon in the hands of a drunken nascar fan, as they have been in other sports. Many professional sports venues only serve the "soft" plastic beer bottles, or pour it in cups. Do you think this would make the races safer?

Ok nascar fans, this has been botherin me all day. How come Tony Stewart gets the finishing position of 28th and not 6th or whereever he was. The reason I ask is because this. On the 2nd attempt of green-white-check, if theres a caution the field freezes and the race is over, NOT a the scoring marker but when the yellow was dropped (nascar rules). The yellow on the last lap was cause behind Tony Stewart from the crash in turn 2. Tony was then wrecked by the 26/36 cars AFTER the yellow. If you watch replay you can see the flagman and lights yellow. So Tony did not CAUSE the yellow and if the race is over as soon as the yellow dropped how come he didnt get the top 10?

If it were the checkard flag and he didnt cross the line etc.. but its not, fields FROZEN on the YELLOW, race over, on the yellow tony is in 6th.. whats up with this??

For those of you that are under the age of 30, I should begin by first explaining the phrase "jump the shark." In the 1970s, "Happy Days" was one of the most popular TV shows in America, anchored by the Cunningham family and the uber-cool Fonzie, as portrayed by Henry Winkler. Eventually, as with all TV shows, major characters began to move on, stories became silly and plots thin. During one particularly awful episode, a series of dopey circumstances led Fonzie to attempt to leap over a shark while riding water skis and wearing his trademark leather jacket (the latter point is particularly stupid since salt water would destroy such apparel, especially 30 years ago). The episode was so painfully reaching and horrible, that it came to symbolize the moment when a long running successful TV show has reached its peak and the decline as begun. Since then, the phrase has been applied to a myriad of situations, movements and on-going storylines that have seen better days.

Now, as Bugs Bunny would say, "on with the show:"

Jeff Gordon is the Michael Jordan of his sport.

Alot of people dislike Gordon because he threatens the legendary status of Dale Earnhardt.

While gaining the disdain of Nascar fanboys nationwide, Jeff is earning the tremendous respect of Nascar purist.

does anyone else find it odd that the only driver to get a "speeding on pit road penalty" was the driver who caused a ruckous with nascar officials when he spoke his mind, and let them know what he thought of them? hmmm.... ???

sorry if this is a stupid question, since i know nothing about racing but i am curious. roughly speaking, which car would be fastest on an oval track? on a straight track? on an f1 track? on a windy mountain road? assume that all drivers are using perfect technique and there are no restrictions on regular parts for those vehicles (no rocket engines or jet packs), there is infinite fuel supply, and no tire wear. how much does the style of driving matter vs. the design and power of the car itself? or would they all be roughly the same?

"If the caution flag comes out at any time during the green-white-checkered finish, the field would immediately be frozen, and the race would be over. Video evidence would be used in addition to scoring loops to determine the official order of finish."



No word that I can see about "being able to cross the start/finish line".


Mark Martin is too nice a guy to complain, but I don't see Tony Stewart having that problem.
