They used to say Nemecheck would use #208, but on his car it said 08

They said Villenue would have #127, but his car said 27.

Why is this happening?

Remember Monaco when he was compelled to follow Alonso.Then later on the delay at the Pits Alonso again.Now when he is showing canvas on his tyres and losing 10 secs a Lap Alonso comes in the Pits first.When will these dirty dealings unfold maybe when Mercedes buy Mclaren .No doubt Ron Dennis has been pushed in a corner regarding Lewis a true racer who throws a F1 car around like a GO Cart.Come on Ron you have a GENIUS HERE give him the chance he deserves.As for Bernie we would like a full explanation of the events.

...Examples...

Were they more stable?

Were they effected by the wall of air created from other cars?

How did a single car stand on it's own and is it still possible for a single car to make a pass by side drafting (easing real close to the car beside him)?

Add any additional observations you feel supports the original part of the question?

With 80 wins, Gordon is only three away from tying Cale Yarborough at 83 and only needs FIVE more to pass Darrell Waltrip and Bobby Allison for third on the ALL TIME WINS list. Any guesses on when? Maybe by the end of next year?

And another question... anyone think Stewart will ever catch Gordon or at least pass Cale Yarborough?

Hate him or love him, it is a simple fact Gordon will have a place in the history books. And with already having 80 wins with a possible ten years or more left in his career, it might be difficult for many drivers to catch him. Any guesses on any active drivers who might even reach 80 wins in their career? And any thoughts who might eventually pass Gordon? Johnson? Stewart?

This is just intended to be an honest question why NASCAR is so intriguing to everyone. I notice that this Auto racing forum revolves mostly around NASCAR, so I thought I would ask.
So, what makes NASCAR so much better to watch, etc. than all other auto sports? Please explain to a non-American born person living in America the attractiveness of this sport!!!
Please also defend why this is so much fun to watch... I understand that they are going stupidly fast, but it seems mostly repetitive.
Thanks!

Well, everyone saw the expertise and strategic thinking of Jeff Gordon...
Who couldn't deny he wouldn't have won that race?
And now who will deny he will not win the championship?
He's great...
He deserves it
Everyone saw him hanging out in the back all day
I was angry at him doing that but in the end I knew his strategy
It worked out, too
So what are you comments?

Why is it that nhra has more members,more tracks, and more active racers than nascar but does not seem to have nearly as large of a fan base.

Reporters not knowing drivers names, commericals during restarts. And Nascar Now? Its a joke right? They are going to have a real show soon, right? Stacy Compton an expert? And who the jerk who keeps picking the 1 car to win.

Thank god for Boris, do you think he just waiting to make fun of one of them?

I'm just getting into NASCAR and I've been following the chase and all, and I went on wikipedia and on NASCAR's website to read how the points system works. What I don't understand is how Tony Stewart was in front of Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson for almost the whole race at Talladega but in the update for the Chase for the points that was showing on the screen during the race showed Tony Stewart get into 1st place(Chase-wise) mid-race and then pull back into 4th place in the Chase, and all of this while he was still in front of the 24 and the 48, and the 07 for that matter. From my understanding, you get points for leading a lap, leading the most laps, and ending position. Can someone explain to me how it really works and how Tony was bouncing all over the place in the points standings while he was constantly in front of both of them? Thanks.

Should NASCAR forget about this silly top 35 in points nonsense and figure out a different way to qualify for a race? I think it stinks that the top 8 qualifying for this past weekend were go or go home guys. They claim it is to protect their sponsors that have been loyal to the sport, not that I am a huge MWR fan, but what about UPS & NAPA? Valvoline, Dominos, and Marathon to name a few more. What about the others that are trying to break into the sport such as 360 OTC, Red Bull and State Water Heaters. I propose that all cars/teams registered for the race make their 2 qualifying laps as normal, the top 20 get a free pass into the race and the rest run out in 2 20 lap qualifier/heat races to fill the remaining 23 spot in the field. The only time that season points would come into play is during the rare occasion that weather prevents the normal event of qualifying. In those instances the current rule would prevail.
Thoughts?

I still have a hard time understanding why people show the hate like they do on gordon. I bet it might be because dale jr. could not even carry gordons helmet much less be mentioned in the same breath as gordon as far as who is the better driver. Thank god jr has the old mans name backing him. It sure is not the wins he has over the years.
