Who is looking forward to it? *raises hand*

Now that football is over, it will be nice have NASCAR to watch on Sunday. The reconfiguration of teams and the switchover to the new car design will make this season pretty interesting I think.

Mark Martin will win it. He got jewed hard last year.

I hope Tony Stewart does well in his Toyota this year even though I doubt it. As long as Gordon/Johnson don't win, I'll be happy.

I wouldn't mind seeing Martin win it. He's a really nice guy and a talented driver. If anyone deserves one, he does.

If they show it on terrestrial TV late at night when nothing else is on, I'll watch it.

That's how I got into US Footie and Baseball

But I was always into Car Racing, of any sort.

just go to a race. watching it on tv is a little boring. i guarantee you'll see nascar in a different light after going to a race though.

Those of you who don't give NASCAR drivers any credit can just stay out of this thread. Spam somewhere else. When you can do 180mph+ and even keep it on the track without stuffing the wall get back to me ...

I would rather watch a road course on TV, then go to a circle track in person.

TC.Troy: Let the rough side drag; +111|6593

This years 500:
Hendrick WILL be strong (the plate program they have is amazing), Dale Jr. is always fast, as well as Johnson and Gordon.

The COT: Should be interesting to see it at Daytona. After Talladega last year, the teams got a decent handle on aero (what little they can play with) and dampers. With that said, Daytona is NOT Talledega, Daytona is a handling track, Dega is "hold it wide open and go with the fast line". A whole different animal it is...

Toyota: They will be very strong this year. JGR has seen to that. If Toyota has any success this year, it will be because of JGR. (Toyota not 'tupid...) So expect Tony Stewart, Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin to be strong. I also see the 22 of BDR, driven by Dave Blaney being a threat, tho a dark horse at best. The RedBull teams have still yet much to learn, I give them 2 in 10 chance. Same chance for MWR...poor Mikey hehe.

The Dodges of GEM are not going to be a threat I think, thought I do give Juan Pablo good chances to make the chase this year.

In the end, the Daytona 500 is not about who has the fasters car, never has been. Its about who can handle, who can manage the tires well, good clean pit stops...and properly reading the air.

My pick for the 50 annual Daytona 500: The Hendrick Motor Sports #88, driven by Dale Jr.
we'll see next sunday.

oh...and *raises hand*

They don't look as cool without the body kits and lowering it to the ground, and of course. They're missing the supercharged V8's or whatever they use.

You really do need the body kit. Keep the stickers and shit in the garage though.
