Is he switching drivers too?? Maybe then he will start having better results....
Posted Tuesday November 17, 2009, About: Stewart: Earnhardt a 'no talent (expletive)'
Seriously.... how long did it take you to come up with that? Reminds me of comments made in every Jr article.

If you are trying to be funny, at least come up with something original.
Posted Tuesday November 17, 2009, About: Stewart: Earnhardt a 'no talent (expletive)'
Apparantly the oil was coming from his car.... which got on his tires causing a loss of traction.
Posted Monday November 16, 2009, About: Stewart: Earnhardt a 'no talent (expletive)'
There is a possibility that Jr got oil on his tires..... apparantly he was leaking oil before he crashed. I know it is not oult of the realm of possibilty that Jr just lost it, but more people agree that he has talent then those that don't....

...Maybe not on this board, but in real life...

He doesn't generally lose control of his car.... it just doesn't happen. Not sure what Jr said after the race, but if he thought it was his fault, he probably would have said it was.

Anybody have stats on little Jeffrey.....?
Posted Monday September 14, 2009, About: Gibbs hopes to re-sign Busch soon
Didn't mean to hit a nerve, but as someone who has watched every lap whether boring or not I think there needs to be more points awarded for wins. I am not sure I would put Montoya or Vickers in the same league as Busch. I am the farthest thing from a Busch fan, but he probably should be in the chase this year.

The chase was designed to help promote wins and not necessarily consistency (i.e. Kenseth). It seems it has failed in that department.
Posted Monday September 14, 2009, About: Gibbs hopes to re-sign Busch soon
I am not going to say I am upset that Kyle did not make the chase; however, it doesn't seem right that someone with 4 wins (I think) will not be in the playoffs.

I do not have any suggestions on how to make the chase fair to everybody, but something should be done to ensure that the best drivers throughout the season can compete for the title.

As far as signing Busch... why is this a story, of course Gibbs is going to re-sign Kyle. End of story......
Posted Wednesday August 26, 2009, About: Busch's celebration goes awry
The flag will be on E-bay shortly.....
Posted Monday August 24, 2009, About: Junior laments BMS cautions
You're right... Martin was loving on Busch a bit too much... I didn't necessarily agree with him when he stated that if the roles were reversed Busch would have raced him clean. Kyle has spun drivers before, and will do it again.

(By the way, before the backlash, I realize Kyle is not the ONLY driver to ever spin someone out for a win)
Posted Monday August 24, 2009, About: Junior laments BMS cautions
Sorry...it was restarted with 4-5 laps remaining... I had to look it up. You know...this season seems like these races just run together....
Posted Monday August 24, 2009, About: Junior laments BMS cautions
Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't Bristol finish ounder a Green/White/Checker...with the yellow coming out on the last lap....?
Posted Monday August 24, 2009, About: Hendrick plans to keep Keselowski close
It's going to be difficult for Brad to drive around the track with a leash.....

Seriously, how much power does Hendrick have..... With a comment like that he has to be pissing a few teams off.
Posted Monday August 24, 2009, About: Hendrick working on fuel injection engines
I am not an expert or even that knowledgable on fuel injectoin systems other than to know what they do, so I am curious if there is a way for NASCAR to just hand them out at the track like the do restrictor plates?

So come on people prove how smart you all are and enlighten me....? or I could just google or Bing it....
Posted Monday August 24, 2009, About: Junior laments BMS cautions
By the way.... I am by no means a Kyle Busch fan, but his interview after the Bristol race was quite good. He showed some humility, and at last stated in public that he is honored to be racing in NASCAR. One of my gripes with his was that he seemed as though he was better than everybody else..... maybe he REALLY is trying to be a better person, not just a great racer.
Posted Monday August 24, 2009, About: Junior laments BMS cautions
Seriously, the race was coming down to the wire..... I totally agree with Jr. Kyle may have still won which is fine, but I really wanted to see more beating and banging at the finish between Martin and Busch. I am really curious how it would have played out.

I also wish Jr wasn't the one who made the comment. As always, the piss and moan comments are starting.... I am sure non-Jr fans wanted less cautions as well so don't criticize good comments just because Jr made them.
Posted Friday August 14, 2009, About: Earnhardt: NASCAR won't fix Car of Tomorrow
Does anybody on this board actually watch the races??? Jr is not saying anything that the announcers, and other drivers have ben saying all along. Just because Jr says it, people have to come out and bash him.

Seriously, this Fannation group for the most part is a waste of time....... I keep coming back hoping to see some insightful comments, but they are just not there. I enjoy good barbs every now and then, but bashing Kyle or Bashing Jr over and over and over again is pointless.

Come on people.... we are smarter than this!!!
Posted Wednesday August 12, 2009, About: Wreck raises questions about Glen's Turn 9
I guess you are one of those who watch only the last 10 laps of a race. Those who only focus on the finishing order do not necessarily see the whole picture.

The season, I know, is based on wins... who the he11 doesn't know that. The only point I am trying to make is that Jr for the most part has been running in the top 15 - 20 rather than the top 30 to 40 since the crew chief change. That is the ONLY positive thing anybody can say about the last few races. Try understanding my point rather than dismissing it as nonsense offhand because it mentions the 88.

I forgot though that trying to say anything positive about the 88 is frowned upon by so many people. Stop being obtuse and start seeing the whole picture.

As far as missing a shift.... whatever.... I guess you are trying to be funny. If you truly understood racing you might see that missing a shift it not that uncommon. Most just blame their engine department though.

I am not trying to convince anybody to like or respect Jr, all I am trying to do is get both sides of the Jr debate to see beyond what they want to see. These boards have become pure nonsense. I used to log on everyday to see what was going on and to hear insights into racing. Lately, I might log on once a week if not once a month because it seems like everytime I start reading a post someone is either bashing Jr or bashing Kyle... or bashing people who like one or the other.

Comments are no longer informative.... they have become crass attempts to show the rest of the people how important they think they are.

Try giving insights rather than "My dic* is bigger than yours" comments!!!!
Posted Tuesday August 11, 2009, About: Wreck raises questions about Glen's Turn 9
I understand the concept of finishing versus running, but thanks for the refresher. I am only trying to find something positive in an otherwise dismal season for the 88.
Posted Tuesday August 11, 2009, About: Wreck raises questions about Glen's Turn 9
So I suppose Jr reached down and pulled the brake line before he crashed..... Jr has actually been running better, just not finishing any better.

"The Jeremy Mayfield didn't do Meth 400"

Got to be cheaper than what he will end up paying his lawyers!!!
Posted Tuesday July 28, 2009, About: NASCAR: Witnesses saw Mayfield doing meth
Seriously...another Mayfield story.... I would rather read about Busch or Earnhardt than this drivel. I would even rather read Busch/Earnhardt bashing than another Mayfield story.

Come on fannation... Busch out of the chase... (I could fake interest in this at least); Earnhardt blows an engine (his fault or not??)... (I could even fake interest in this too!!!)

Menard and Mayfield.... NOT STORIES!!!! I can't even pretend to care...
