Pfft, anti-fanboy!

I was sick that McMurray got beaten to the line. So close to 3 plate wins in a row!

Stayed up for the Nationwide race, that was WILD :eek:

bbability

NASCAR on sky sports hd2 right now..

Great win for Kyle Busch last night. He was unstoppable towards the end.

Even faster earlier, at one point there was only 8/9 cars on the last lap I think.

Yeah your right. I would love to know what happened in the middle to make him fall back albeit to 4th. I'm really liking this season of Nascar, it's still wide open. I can't see Harvick staying in that postion when we get to crunch time nor Kennseth or Biffle. What ever happened to Carl Edwards?

Hee's too busy looking out for Keselowski!:pac:

TheChrisD

Ow, that was a really hard crash for AJ Allmendinger. Brakes failed apparently.

But, more importantly:

JIMMIE JOHNSON'S OUT OF THE RACE!!!!!!!

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

**** ya anyway, wasn't watching the race live but was online so when I saw you posted here at that time I knew exactly what was going to happen and when it was going to happen. :pac:

Who was it saying JPM was looking dodgy for the chase a few races back? Only ~100 points off now and Indy and the two Road Courses still to come. Be surprised if he doesn't make it. Surprising to see that Carl Edwards is in the top 12, can't remember him doing anything of note (points-wise :P) all season!

People have been writing off JPM for the Chase...? Theres 18 races to go ffs. That car is way to good for him not to be in the Chase this year, and its only a matter of time before he gets that first oval win.

Almost time to get going in Dover.

amacachi

Uncharacteristic **** up from Johnson. Almost as though he's feeling the pressure a bit!

Lookin forward to this weekend, love the exhibition races, feels like I should have a few cans with it. :P

amacachi

Coverage of the All-Star race just getting started now. Just realised it's on the stupid Speed channel.

speedboatchase

Have a couple of tiny bets on just to test the waters on Paddy Power. They started putting up Outright NASCAR odds for each race a few weeks ago and the majority of bets are so long I figure it's worth betting a few guys for small amounts and you still have a great chance to recoup. Anyways I'm ignoring JJ tonight and 3 tiny bets on, €2 for Kyle, €2 for Jeff and €1 for Mark Martin - let's see what happens

ps. Wish every track was 125 miles, some I think don't need to go on so damn long

amacachi

****sake, another reason I might end up setting up an account. Which would be the end of me. :pac:

Pocono in a coupla weeks, a prime example of a race that should be cut be about 70%. :pac:

It was last night? ****.

I was completely wrecked after watching the 500 Pole Day all day, completely forgot about any NASCAR...

speedboatchase

Interestingly there's no mention of any NASCAR bets on Paddy Power anymore - they took my fiver and did a runner :eek:

lord lucan

Charlotte starting shortly and sadly it's FOX's last race of the season.:(

ESPN's coverage is ****e compared to FOX imo. Gonna miss the Boogity Boogity Boogity for the rest of the season.

amacachi

Was going to ask if there was a rain delay, long build-up to the race! Was going to leave it til tomorrow, still not sure whether to watch it now or not.

lord lucan

OT but that A-Team van is ****e.:mad:

FOX is over already? Dammit. Well at least that means TNT's six-race run, including Sonoma

amacachi

Goddamnit turns out I hadn't got it recording. Just tuning in now, what happened to JPM?

TheChrisD

Barely spun out of Turn 2, but hit the front-left barely enough to need to get repairs done behind the wall.
EDIT: Video: http://www.nascar.com/video/cup/2010/post_race/highlights/05/30/cup_cha_high_one.nascar/index.html


But...
GUESS WHO JUST SPUN AND CRASHED!

amacachi

Glad I'm watching this live :pac:

speedboatchase

Joey Logano - absolute legend. Taken out by Harvick, tries to fight him after the race and slags him for being henpecked in the post-interview - new fan here

Oh and apparently Hamlin won Big one in the last lap too :eek:

Min

I enjoyed Pocono, it use to be boring but the last couple of races have been good there.

Kevin needed his bodyguards, delighted for Hamlin.

amacachi

TheChrisD, any chance you could hold back on posting if Johnson crashes out, I'm watching the F1 live. :pac:

I completely missed the race myself. By the time I got done with the F1 and some TF2 I had planned, I realised it was already over :P

amacachi

Pretty short race, think it was just over 3 hours. Not the most exciting either.

Still, Infineon next week, should be fun. :pac:

Not only Infineon, but Road America on the Saturday as well

amacachi

Just a pity about the lack of coverage. Indy on as well, always nice to have both on.

TheChrisD

So, quali for the Nationwide starting now, with the race hopefully being streamed somewhere at 8pm. Should be interesting to watch, especially as Villeneuve has been coming out near the top in practice

SouperComputer

Stuck at work so I cant get to Road America. I raced there last year and I have to say hauling a Nationwide car around would be fun, but dicey!!. Those walls are really close to the track in some parts. TV does the gradient changes NO justice whatsoever. The hill up the front streight is more like a wall. Villeneuve demonstrated his prowess at Road America in CART in '94. I suspect he'll do very well. Have to see if I can get this on TV somewhere.

TheChrisD

Ow, huge pile-up at Turn 6 put a red flag out, been out for the past 20 minutes too.

I wouldn't like to be the drivers, they're sitting in their cars on the long straight opposite the pit straight.

amacachi

Got a link to a stream? Usually don't follow the Nationwide coz I never think of it but I've no excuse now other than not being able to find a stream. :pac:

EDIT: Got one, hope it shows a replay soon.

gs39t

Edwards was never going to lose that one, he had far superior equipment to JV, who was driving the wheels off it anyway. Shame he blew up at the end, great effort.

Worth keeping an eye on Ekstrom and Magnussan tonight

amacachi

Open Access have coverage starting at 7, wikipedia has the start time down as 3pm which would be 11 o'clock here no? :S

gs39t

Think the west coast races all start at 3.30 ET, which would be 20.30 here

Oh 3 ET, that would fit, just assumed it was all local times, thanks.

TheChrisD

Pfft, JJ leading at a road course? I call hax...

TheChrisD

**** NASCAR, they screwed Ambrose out of a win down to a technicality. He could've easily maintained speed if there wasn't a big damn hill between Turns 1 and 2.

Again, **** NASCAR, **** Jimmie Johnson, **** Chad Knaus. **** all of it.

Ghost Train

rules are rules.... don't try save fuel before a steep hill, wait till you're heading down the other side :pac:

too many fecking cautions for a road race

At least three of those cautions could've easily been done with just local ones.

amacachi

Totally Ambrose's own fault, was almost expecting him to get a penalty for then overtaking under a yellow.

Also, next time someone Jeff Gordon tries to complain about someone else's driving he should get a punch in the mouth.
