On a side note I think Montoya got decked...:thumbsup: (read about half way down the article)

While Kyle Busch is a scared little kitty...D:


Oh and the winner last night was a single car team that beat a huge organization Roush Fenway Racing...

Way to go Reagan Smith & Furniture Row Racing...:thumbsup:

Not the first time this has happened. About ten or so years ago Montoya (while still in F1 obviously) and Gordon swapped rides. Should be hilariously interesting to see Stewart try to fit into the F1 car.

Nascar is extremely boring

 

[Tom]

I don't blame Kyle, Harvick had some of his crew at the scene, and Kyle's a driver, not a fighter.

So are you but we dont tell anyone...:biggrin:

Tom I see your point but what Kyle did was wrong and could have really hurt someone by pushing Kevins car like he did... He could have backed up to avoid the issue and basicly went around the situation...


Kaervak... Very bottom of the article tells of this... But yea Stewart might need to hit the treadmill real quick...

 

[Tom]

Harvick had no business getting out of his car or blocking Kyle from getting to post race inspection.

The problem was Harvick getting out of his car in a stupid place. What Kyle did wasnt going to hurt anybody, that's just politically correct BS. Everybody there was watching what was happening and Harvicks car never went more than 5 mph. didnt come close to hitting anyone.

Harvick has a long history of similar antics before the cars are safely in the garage area. He ought to get a fine for that.

As far as the inrace stuff, Harvick laid all over Kyle for 3/4 a lap, what Kyle did was justified and I doubt either driver will have any disciplinary action for that part of the day.

yep, If I need to fall a sleep fast, I put on speed and hope for Nascar.

 

[JulesMaximus]

:thumbsup: I'll definitely watch that.

Yea that part I did see and as for Harvick pulling crap in the garage area I do remember that too... Still think Kyle could have done it different but its all said and done and we should find out if anything comes of it on Tuesday...?

Guess the thing that got me the most was when Montoya dumped Jimmy... I know he said he was sorry but he also knew they were watching him real close so I dont buy it but hey all these things will come back to bite him sooner or later... Funny how anyone that gets around him and he does not like how they pass him then all hell breaks loose...? To many times you hear wreck and for some reason Montoya is involved so WTF...?

yep, If I need to fall a sleep fast, I put on speed and hope for Nascar.

Thats funny for sure... The cup series doesnt come on the speed channel...

:thumbsup: I'll definitely watch that.

Jules... I can excuse you since your from Cali...

It says in the article Kyle's car didn't have reverse.

 

[Bartman39]

Now thats even more funny...? Saw him back up right before he shoved Harvicks car so dont buy that crap one bit...

Just watched the video again and sure enough he has reverse so who ever said that is full O chit... Just re-read the article on Nascar.com and it said nothing about him not having reverse...? Where was that said...?

About halfway down is this line:

Busch said later that he tried to avoid Harvick after the race, and that he had no reverse gear operational in his car.

So, what that article says is that Busch is claiming he had no functional reverse....but it was obvious he did in the video.

 

[ThatsABigOne]

I like seeing feuds... It makes racing more fun to watch.

 

[thedarkwolf]

I love it when one of the under dog teams gets a win. Was also great seeing two of the Cup douchebags, actually like Harvike but he is a douche, going at it. Other than those two events the race was fairly boring.

Wow...! After reading it 3 times I finaly saw it...? Must need new reading glasses...? Dont worry when you get to around 40-45 (will be 51 here soon) all kind of stuff starts changing...

 

[Tom]

reverse gear in these cars is pretty fragile..probably broke right there at the end.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Jules... I can excuse you since your from Cali...

I was referring to the swapping rides thing. I was being serious. I'd like to see that!

 

[DesiPower]

Reminds e of that idiot Jaun Pablo Montoya, mofo didn't have any clue about how to drive a F1 car, kept crashing and hitting people, he cost Michael atleast one championship. He finally "retired" I guess he was kicked out. Last I heard he was rotting in Nascar.

 

[LTC8K6]

Harvick deserved the hook, imo. He hit Kyle at least twice about half a lap before.

Really?

"Juan Pablo Montoya is the only driver to have won the premier North American open-wheel CART title, the Indianapolis 500 and the 24 Hours of Daytona, all at the first attempt. Montoya is one of two drivers to have won the CART title in his rookie year, the first being Formula One World Champion Nigel Mansell in 1993. He has also equalled Graham Hill's feat of being a Monaco Grand Prix and Indianapolis 500 race winner; Montoya is currently one of only two active drivers (along with Jacques Villeneuve) who has won two legs of the Triple Crown of Motorsport.

Montoya has also become a crossover race winner by winning races (starting in each case in his rookie year) in Formula One, CART, IndyCar, Grand-AM and NASCAR equalling in that respect Mario Andretti's caliber of success (except for the F1 World Championship); And shares honors as well with Dan Gurney in being IndyCar/F1/NASCAR race winner. Montoya is also the only driver to have competed in all three major events at Indianapolis, finishing fourth or better in each event. He finished 1st in the Indianapolis 500, 2nd in the Brickyard 400, and 4th in the US Grand Prix.

In October 2009, Montoya was ranked 30th in a list of the top 50 Formula One drivers of all time by Times Online."

He has won 7 F1 races, has 13 poles and 12 fastest laps.

Ok Jules sorry thought you meant it otherwise...:thumbsup: I think it will be quite interesting to see how it goes for both... They are both pro`s but of course Tony has driven open wheel somewhat like cars but its been awhile...


As for Montoya he can drive no doubt but his attitude gets the best of him and hurts his chances of really doing well in Nascar...

 

[WaTaGuMp]

F1 has gotten more boring than Nascar.

You obviously haven't been watching this season. First 4 races have been very exciting to watch despite having the same guy qualify on pole for all 4 races and him winning 3 out of 4 so far.

I watched the Jeff Gordon/Juan Montoya swapping rides a few years back so I'm equally interested in this redux. Plus, I'm a Lewis Hamilton fan and I think he would be very enthusiastic about this experience as it seems Tony Stewart is.

Or I have been and that's why for me it has been boring.
