There aren't any heroes anymore. The "stars" of the sport are not what they used to be. The ones who have any personality at all have bad ones. I can't pull for anybody! I used to love the sport, but with the crop of jerks they have now, I just can't watch it. I hate to see either of the Bush brothers have any success at all. They are horrible people. Tony Stewart is an insufferable cry-baby-spoiled-brat. Everybody hates that moron Robbie Gordon. Juan Pablo Montoya flipped off his in-car camera!! Then waved at it as if to say "oops!".What an idiot! How does anybody find a driver to pull for in this era when the "good old boys" are either dead or retired?

Upon coming to Mclaren, Alson improved the mclaren car to meet his needs, then, Hamilton took many lessons from the two time world Champion, then... Hamilton and Mclaren stabbed Alonso in the back...and the latest scandal.... FIA does not penalise Hamilton for what 21 other drives say was a bad move by Hamilton when he all of a sudden slowed down almost to a complete stop causing Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel accident in last weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix.

Is there too many politics in Formula 1? Is it because Hamilton is English and some people want an English Champion?

Never the case, I feel sorry for Alonso. He is without a doubt the most superior driver in formula 1 today... and got back stabbed by Hamilton and his team. Very sad and tragic.

He seems to be a bit of a mad driver, but then again, he is still young

Hold the phone: Stewart says NASCAR did the right thing?
MIKE HARRIS
The Associated Press
Nobody could blame two-time Cup champion Tony Stewart if he was upset after NASCAR waited out the rain last Sunday at Kansas Speedway, a decision that cost Stewart a win and eventually a lot of points in the Chase.

Stewart, stretching his gas to the limit, was out front when heavy rains hit the speedway just past halfway in the race. If NASCAR had called it at that point, Stewart would have been the winner.

Instead, officials waited more than two hours and eventually restarted the race. Stewart, who started the day just two points out of the lead, was involved in a crash, finished 39th and dropped to fourth – 117 points out. On his satellite radio show Tuesday night, he said NASCAR did the right thing.

“You look at it from their standpoint,” he said. “If they call the race, we’re going to leave Kansas City with a 50- or 60-point lead and that could have been the difference between us stealing a championship away from somebody or not.

“NASCAR, in my opinion, did exactly the right thing, did everything they could to get it in.

"It’s the same thing we would have done at Eldora (the dirt track Stewart owns in Ohio). And the reason it was the right decision is let us settle it on the race track. Let us win the championship on the race track.

"Don’t let weather be a determining factor in those last 10 races of who is going to win or not win the championship.”

"It is painfully obvious to me that the right guy to be world champion is Lewis," said Ecclestone.

In fact, my main fear would be if he didn't win it.
Kimi Raikkonen barely talks to anyone and as such has done little for the sport, and as for Fernando Alonso, in his two years as world champion he has done nothing."

so bernie has more or less said that Lewis should win this year championship no matter what,
a case of what bernie wants bernie gets.

Do you think these comments will taint this year championship ?

My hubby is a HUGE Jimmie Johnson (Lowe's #48) NASCAR fan. I would love to buy him some more of the 1/24 scale cars but I would like to know what's available. Does anyone know a website or have a list of all the diecast cars made for Jimmie Johnson? Thanks!!!

Im going to NC and want to go see Carl Edwards when he will be signing autographs at Roush Racing, but not sure how early you have to get there to be guaranteed to get a ticket.

What made everybody dislike him all the sudden? I think Denny Hamlin is a really nice guy, I have met him and have pictures of him with my youngest daughter. You all like Stewart? But hate Hamlin? I just don't get it.(and I better not hear that he is a cry baby because, well we know why)

did they find the female commentator with the high pitched squeeky voice? Her screeching hurts your ears. Hopefully she won't be used on Sunday! Anyone else feel that way? I am NOT a feminist.

What I mean is do they have a certain down time, or do they keep going every Saturday night year round? If I go to 12 hours at Sebring, could I also take in some local late-model stocks while I am there?
