I was cheering big time when he made that move, sitting back all day out of trouble almost had problems when he got the penalty and then getting that win, it was awesome.

awesome race. i loved the part where he made that left turn, and then went fast in the following straight.

Gordon benefitted big time from having his teamates Johnson and Mears up front with him helping him draft and Stewart kept on being hung out to dry every time he tried to get a run going.

The most interesting part of the race was how RCR's engines were blowing up because they couldn't handle the elevated RPMs the COTs were pushing. Bowyer was shitting his pants the whole race worrying about his car.

Team Penske looked good and the Toyotas looked good too. The Toyotas doing good bodes well for GBR next season

I was going to make a witty comment about how lame Nascar is, but everyone else already beat me to it

I was going to make a comment about how lame your posts are but you already confirmed it by you last post.

Yeah I'm surprised the Toyota's actually had decent drafting cars. I'm upset about RCR's engines, I did terrible in my leagues this week.

It's more original than an ATOT'er taking shots at Nascar

I'm not a 4 hour race guy, but if it makes them happy (and I don't have to watch the whole thing!) then more power to them. My dad is big into Nascar, but I like Formula 1, and there are plenty of legitimate shots you can take at it too. I'm just glad there's enough demand for auto racing that there's a channel devoted to it, and they squeeze out a few hours for the handful of American F1 nerds, which is way better than what we had in the 90's with ESPN.

Confession: I regularly fall asleep in the middle of F1 races :laugh:

And if that's all you think NASCAR is then you are definately an ignorant individual.

watching him change all of 4 forward gears, and following someone else's wake, was also riveting. "shake n bake!"!!

Obviously your POV is that of your lower intestinal tract.

Wow a NASCAR thread on ATOT that turned into a NASCAR bashing thread, didn't see that one coming. :roll:

Seriously, I really don't care if people comment on NASCAR being boring--I admit a lot of the races are too long, I haven't watched a full race in a long time--but anyone trying to insinuate that racing on an oval track is easy is an idiot. You chair jockeys would be rather surprised about the amount of skill it takes to compete at a high level on an oval track, especially a superspeedway.

I agree, these guys make big bucks for a reason, if it was easy everyone would do it. I've tried watching it a few times and for me it's more boring than baseball. Too much is determined by things like pit stops.

Or the level of technology and teamwork (not to mention money).
