Daytona 500, Did you going to watch it?

[FlashG]

My son and I went to last Fridays slam drafting effort and Craftsman Truck race at Daytona for something to do. They were both meh at best. I expect today's 500 will be the same.

Nascar isn't anywhere close to Formula 1. They shouldn't even be used in the same sentence.

I know, Formula 1 should be included with phases like "Hairdresser on fire and please pass the Grey Poupon" Hell it's dominated by a bunch of Euro Nancyboys.

1. . 1979 ? "And There's A Fight!"
Cars slamming into each other. Guys that don't like each other. A six pack of racing legends. All on live national television for the first time ever.

No wonder the '79 Daytona 500 is number one on our list.

On the race's final lap (which seems to be a recurring theme here), leader Donnie Allison knew that Cale Yarborough was about to make his move. So when Cale darted to the bottom of the backstretch to slingshot into the lead, Allison shut the door by cutting him off. The move sent Yarborough into the muddy grass, back onto the track, and squarely into Allison's door. The two rivals slammed into each other over and over again, eventually slamming into the turn three wall and sliding simultaneously onto the apron between turns three and four.

That opened the door for a three-way battle for the win between Richard Petty, Darrell Waltrip, and A.J. Foyt, with Petty winning by one car length.

Meanwhile, Donnie and Cale were out of their cars and being separated by the safety crew. "We were done with each other," Donnie says now. "Then Bobby showed up."

Still fuming over an early race incident, Bobby Allison stopped by to check on his brother and call Cale out. Yarborough responded by walking over to Bobby's car and hitting him squarely in the nose with a helmet. Bobby proceeded to launch himself out of the car and onto Yarborough's shoulders. Fight on. And CBS Sports, carrying the 500 live for the first time, didn't miss a second.

"And there's a fight!" Ken Squier shouted to the nation. "The tempers overflowing!"

An audience of millions, many snowed in by a monster east coast cold front, were hooked ... and they have been ever since.

Would that be why several Formula 1 drivers have contacted Rick Hendrick and Bill Davis about getting a ride in Nextel Cup?

I'm a KURT Busch fan. Unlike many other drivers, he's well-spoken, articulate, and his words are mightier than Jimmy "Has-Been" Spencer's fist. 😛

Oh, I'm sorry, I meant Jimmy "Never-Been" Spencer.

BTW, I'm rooting for #88!

 

[Tylanner]

Yes Ill watch as soon as James Stewart wins the Main Event😛

The only good thing about Kurt Busch is that he made NASCAR fans forget how much they disliked Jeff Gordon.

 

[rky60]

You bet i'll be watching

And I hope Martin wins 🙂

 

[JDrake]

I won't watch it 🙁

NASCAR drivers are real role models compared to your NBA, NHL, etc. athletes. It takes so much skill to drive the cars.

Oh yeah. Most of those Nascar guys would crap their pants if they went through Eu Rouge in an F1 car flat out without lifting.

I don't know why so many people here keep saying this when they don't even watch one or the other. 😕

its funny how guys that say F1>NASCAR...mostly cause f1 takes "skill"...
yet you see F1 drivers try to make it in nascar and they cant, its hard making it around a track when 40 guys are bumping you into the walls in a car with minimal aerodynamics.

A fast driver will be fast in whatever car you put him in. Running around 180+mph in a pack 2-3 wide takes experience.

The amazing part was Matt Kenseth flying across the track and not hitting any other car. And yes, Tony Stewart is a dick :thumbsdown:.
