Although I've lost serious interest in Nascar several years ago, I still do make it a point to watch the Daytona 500 each year. I've been a long-time Mark Martin fan, however he's pissed me off the last few years, so I'm not really sure who I want to win this year. I know I do not want Jimmy Johnson to win, ever. I'd like to see Danica Patrick do well against the boys, but I think she'll get caught up in one of the big-ones.

 

So, if you follow the race, who are pulling for to win?

Somebody with a mullet

I haven't followed a Nascar driver since the passing of Dale Sr.

 

I'd like to see Danica win but starting out 29th she's got a long way to go and the chances of getting caught up in a wreck are high.

 

Most likely to win is Dale Jr. I do believe.

Whoever makes the most left turns without crashing.

I guess trying to have an intelligent conversation before noon on a Sunday was just asking for too much, but yet you act worse than those you mock.

Tony Stewart

Tony Stewart

 

 

Good choice. My wife's been a Stewart fan for years. I may have to "come on over the her side" and go for Tony.

Relax...it was a joke.

I can live with that

 

Yeah, it was just a joke.

I would love to see Dale Jr win he is so due to win a race , hopefully its this one !!!!!!

If Dale wins this race, I think you'll see that's the bump he needs to get this entire year on-track for him and the team.

I seriously cannot sit there and watch a complete nascar race...the last 5 laps tends to be the most exciting, and even thats pushing it cause of the potential yellow flag...races ending in yellow flags are

 

With that said, I'd like to see Danica win, shes pretty smokin lol.

Was also a long time Martin fan but just doesn't have the equipment anymore

Stewart and Harvick will be tough today

But that damn Busch kid can drive...... Hate em but he can wheel a car

 

As far as the NASCAR haters I am used to it

Until you experience 3 wide 10 rows deep in person you can fully appreciate the sport

Same with NHRA..... Tv does not do 8000hp justice

I disagree with the rankings, but they just posted the Top 20 Nascar Drivers of All Time.

Lightning McQueen.......

Danica Patrick!

. I've been a long-time Mark Martin fan,

 

Nice, the gentleman of the track..

Thats a fact, it's a lot different at the track, but think about it, double that, go 2 wide 20 rows and 16,000HP and now you have the HP of 2 Top Fuel drag cars at the line..

 

FYI I think it's 2 wide by 10 rows that add up to 8K but you get the idea..

Yea a few out of place, and I though Junior would have been up a spot or 2..

Nice, the gentleman of the track..

 

 

Which has cost him at least one championship.

Very true..

Tony Stewart will win this one.

Looks like the rain won

These days the replays of the WSBK races at Philip Island are all I am looking forward to, I edited NASCAR for Fox Sports Net back before they bought all the broadcasting rights and I have to say that after Dale Sr was lost it really had lost a lot of the color. Dale Jarret was my guy for a long time.

 

I am so much more interested in the bikes now. Something about being able to see everything their hands and feet are doing is amazing to me. I look forward to the Datona 200. Only bad part is no Danica.

I rank watching nascar right up there with watching golf and professional fishing. As far as racing goes, I can NHRA because it's short and tightly edited, and WRC because it's so long they are forced to stick to the good parts version.

I have to agree, never got into Nascar and got bored with F1 but really like WRC and really love the Australian and German touring car series. Now that is real racing,tight,challenging circuits,massive v8's,swapping not only paint but whole sheet metal...Real balls to the wall racing and they occasionally make right turns.

Right on brother. The Aussie touring cars are great. Two back to back, balls-out races each race day. That's fun.

 

Then you get the bike races. Same race formula so you get to race again after this;
