BTW, I was actually watching Daytona with my kids.. they love cars at 3.5. Can someone explain to me how Danica qualified for pole position for "Nationwide" which was Saturday... and that's not for Daytona on Sunday? Why are there 2 races? Why are there 2 qualifications? If they're on the same track... Just saying, cause she wouldn't have been involved in the back-of-the-pack crash on lap 2 if she were up front
I heard from somebody that she crashed her qualifying car in practice, well someone else hit her but same thing, and I believe if you have to revert to your backup car you get put in the back of the pack...and good god some of you people actually watch House? WTF? That has got to be one of the dumbest ass shows I've ever had the misfortune to accidentally tune to for 5 minutes...

The Nationwide races are part of a different NASCAR cup series. Think of it as NASCAR's "Minor League" competitions, where rookie drivers race for a year or two before moving up to Sprint Cup series.

The problem is when the "pro's" are stinking it up, they go down the the Nationwide series races so they can win some money.

I enjoy watching NASCAR for thw wrecks, and last night was not a let down.

I don't watch House, but I would rather endure a whole episode than sit though even 30 seconds of the bullshit retardation that is Nascar.

I was flipping channels on Sirius last night on my drive home and stumbled upon the nascar channel apparently. All you heard was the sound of a car engines... if you think turning left for 3 hours is boring on television you should try listening to it on the radio. :rolleyes:

I flipped the channel after about 3 seconds.

Lol. As a kid (shortly after the invention of the wheel), I used to follow NASCAR. But that was when (mid 1060's) the cars still bore at least a visual resemblance to their stock counterparts, so a Mercury looked like a Merrcury and a Plymouth looked like a Plymouth.

So, you could better root for your brand. Peeps had more "old school" brand loyalty, too.

Oh, yeah . . . Pontiac and Plymouth were once proud American car brands. They had their own network of dealerships and everything. ;) :p

whoa Odette Yustman of Cloverfield fame is on House full time? Nice job casting director. Must start from season 8...

Fun fact: Odette Yustman's first role was in Kindergarten Cop.

And House sucks almost as bad as hillbillies turning left.
