Auto Racing - May 2007

What are some forms of open wheel racing, that race on asphalt and have cars modeled after Indy or F1 cars? Any help is appreciated.

Who thinks Jeff Gordon could be a 7 time Cup Champion or even a 8 time Cup Champion?

Is it just me, or has anybody else caught onto this. I just signed up this week on Yahoo Answers and I've noticed this particular person asking a question related to NASCAR and then people answer the question, but I think this certain person has a 2nd account and uses it to post an answer to that question he asked with the other account. The point I'm getting at is after a day or so, he ALWAYS picks the "other accont" as the Best Answer to get them 10 bonus points. This person's best answer percentage is by far extremely high cuz I beleive he's picking himself everyday. The two avatar pics are even similar. And when that particular person reads this question, they will know who they are.

I know some people may not care, or think I'm asking a stupid question, but I very sure of my predictions on this, and I think it's a sorry way to rack up points by picking yourself as the best answer.

I say David "Wreck 'Em" Ragan. He drives the AAA car and gets a free tow everytime he wrecks. Who else is a good fit with their sponsor and why?

Penske Racing, who has been with just about every manufacturer in racing over the years and who is one of the world’s biggest Toyota dealers, could be making the move to Toyota for next year, the Winston Salem Journal reports. According to sources close to the situation, Penske could be looking at a merger with Michael Waltrip’s struggling Toyota operation. --Fox Sports article.

Comments??

That's what they always tell me in Japan and I'm inclined to believe them. If it was a safety issue, how come so many Champ-Car drivers managed to drive turbos and live to tell the tale?

I know racing is a time-honored pastime for spectators and gamblers. But what makes it interesting to you? As an outside observer I see people staring at cars going around and around a crowded little track on TV and I wonder, "how can this be interesting?" Yet obviously it captures the attention of millions of my countrymen.

So I am curious. What hooked you? Why do you care who wins a race? Is there a dramatic back story to your favorite driver that found its way into your heart?

Also, do different things happen in races that vary the action up and make it interesting? All I can think of is: a) Someone passes someone else, b) Someone drops out of the race due to technical difficulties, or c) Someone crashes. Is there more to the in-race action? What dynamics am I missing? Is what happens off the track (between races) more interesting than what happens on the track? Is that where the drama that keeps you interested occurs? Thanks for your input.

Do you think that decision could cause other high dollar sponsors to be more careful in the future? I think Nextel paid a lot of money to get their name out there and should have more say in the matter.
Tell me what you think!

Why do people answer questions when they have no clue what the answer is? I find it very annoying to read through a ton of "I don't knows" just because people wanted two points.
Personally, as common courtesy, I will not answer a question if I do not know the answer. Nor will I answer a question when the correct answer has already been posted a ton of times. Only if I can actually ADD to it!
Sorry for the rant :)

NASCAR would be at risk of losing me as a fan is anyone ever starts a racing network (or league) of ACTUAL STOCK CARS.
No more of this restrictor plate crap..no more rules on which bolts you can use.
You prove that you purchased a car off the show-room floor...you follow the rules of taking all glass out of the car, etc. (for safetly reasons). You sign the waiver form and you're in. The biggest rule of them all: If you can get the motor to fit under the hood, you are legal. GO RACING!
Thats a race to watch. Nascar is just placing drivers in identical cars and telling them whoever happens to finish first on the last lap is the winner. Telling them they cant go under 150 mph or over 210 mph (or whatever the rules are).
they better figure it out before the rival racing league comes to town!

I'm interested in knowing more about the PR and Marketing departments within a NASCAR team. Does each team have their own people or do they hire from outside agencys? If so, what offices do they hire from? How can I get into contact with them? I am interested in a job in the PR or Marketing field with a NASCAR team and I'm not sure where to send my resumes, etc. I'm already living in the Charlotte area, just need to know what is next.

A guy at work is starting up a new league this week to extend the remainder of the season. I am having trouble with a couple categories. Who would you take out of these groups of drivers. Please don't pick a driver just because you like him. This is for some good money. $25 per team. Should add up to quit a payout. Pts awarded are same as given in race. When drivers are substituted, the points go to car #. The categories I am asking for opinion on are as follows, and any reasons you may have to support your pick.
Group 2
#2 Ku. Busch
#07 Clint Bowyer
#5 Ky Busch
#26 J. McMurray
#8 D. Earnhardt Jr.
#01 M. Martin
#18 J.J. Yeley
#1 M. Truex Jr.
Group 4
#66 J. Green
#45 K. Petty
#14 S. Marlin
#25 C. Mears
#6 D. Ragan
#13 J. Nemechek
#88 R. Rudd
#9 K. Kahne
Group 5
#7 R. Gordon
#38 D. Gilliland
#70 J. Sauter
#22 D. Blaney
#10 S. Riggs
#15 P. Menard
#44 D. Jarrett
#83 B. Vickers

I watched the Gordon crash from this past weekend for the first time and I have to say Gordon really messed up bad... I've seen a bunch of guys (including Gordon) make saves with cars much farther out of control than he was... I guess at 160 mph's any mistake is disastrous, but I would have thought a veteran like Gordon would have made the save there...
