Author	Topic: Turn Right: The Nascar discussion thread
MariahJade2 Title: Former Fan Fiction Archive Editor Registered: Mar '01	Date Posted: 11/16/06 2:48pm Subject: Turn Right: The Nascar discussion thread
	Welcome racing fans. Though this season is almost done, it won't be long before a new one starts and there is plenty to talk about. You can discuss anything Nascar related here, from the Race to the Chase, the drivers, the TV coverage, to your favorite track to tailgate at. Some possible topics to start off: The 2006 Nextel cup: Who will win it this weekend? Does Kevin Harvick have any chance? What effect will Montoya have, and does it make any sense to start him on the last race of the season? Who do you follow and why? Toyota. -----signature----- Have a question or suggestion for the Archive? Ask the NEWBS! Thank you Phillies!

	Harvick's chances are slim to none. It's Johnson's title to lose, and he'll have to have engine trouble or get caught up in someone else's stupidity to lose it. As poorly as Kenseth is running lately, I'd be surprised if he holds on to second place in the standings. I'd bet on Johnson as champion, Harvick second, Kenseth/Hamlin can switch around for third and fourth and Junior will probably end up fifth. The best thing about NASCAR is that after only 2 months off (for fans) it all starts up again. -----signature----- Voted Dork Magazine's "Sexiest Nerd Alive" for 2008 http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb237/Snerdmania/DSCF0113.jpg

	I don't know. I still have hope for Jr getting up there above Kenseth. I am hoping Matt just tanks, and then I'll be able to handle Johnson as the winner if Kevin and Jr are two and three. -----signature----- Have a question or suggestion for the Archive? Ask the NEWBS!

	I love NASCAR. I didn't like it all that much until a few years ago when my son started liking it. I have a question, though. In NASCAR, they primarily turn left. So I was a bit confused by the thread title.

	I'll admit I am tired and the kids have worn me down. It could've gone right over my head. I have to say, I'm not thrilled about the points system at the end for the chase that resets the top 10. Case in point, Tony Stewart. He'd be in the running had he not been set back by thousands of points.

	A few races during the year are road courses. But nearly all the rest are all lefts. You guys prefer short track or the big ovals? I don't really enjoy the short tracks as much because of the reduced speeds.

	Hehehe, yes it's just a joke. People always like to mention how all they do is turn left. I like all of them. Short tracks are exciting because they get all bunched up and there can be more bumping. I like the longer ones too except when they get strung out. -----signature----- Have a question or suggestion for the Archive? Ask the NEWBS! Thank you Phillies!

Nah, Tony was far enough back he wouldn't be competitive for the title this year. However, if he had made the Chase, he'd easily be the points leader right now. Restrictor plate tracks are fun to watch, but I gotta get myself to a Bristol race just once. -----signature----- Voted Dork Magazine's "Sexiest Nerd Alive" for 2008 http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb237/Snerdmania/DSCF0113.jpg

	I've never been the biggest Nascar fan, but I have to say it has appealed to me much more the last few seasons. Texas Motor Speedway is about an hour from where I live, but I've never been to a race there. -----signature----- Queen " Baadasssss Pixie" of the Knights of the Sarcasm Table well, I don't know about you, but i'm going to homerun three strikes to the second base ~Daveeeeed~ Vin

	I've never been to a race but I really want to try to go next season. I live within driving distance of Dover, and Pocono and if I stretch it Martinsville.

	Me too. My parents watch it and it's sorta grown on me. I love the Bristol races. Lots of action! As for the points system, the chase at the end bugs me. There can only be 10 drivers? 10? No, we need more then that. What about this: Keep the current points system the same; the top 10 drivers qualify for the chase. But here's the addition, also include winners from each race in the current season. So you have the top ten points guys and any winner from any race. This makes winning the race actually mean something more valuable. -----signature----- If you have any questions about Christianity and/or Jesus, I'd love to talk to you. Please PM me.

	I've always wondered how the drivers get paid. Like do they get a salary, or is there a purse that the pays drivers based on how they came in for each race. I'm under the impression that the sponsors only pay for the upkeep of the cars, but I could be completely wrong on that. -----signature----- Queen " Baadasssss Pixie" of the Knights of the Sarcasm Table well, I don't know about you, but i'm going to homerun three strikes to the second base ~Daveeeeed~ Vin
