Yeah, none of this modern crap where 20 cars regularly finish on the lead lap - bring back the good ol' days where 5th place was almost always at least 5 laps down ;-)

Sorry, have to bring that up whenever someone says how much better the racing itself was "back in the day"

But that's awesome about your grandfather!

Danica just led a lap at Dega and DW blew his load. I'd hate to hear the guy if she were to win this.

Spurrier_Superior_One · 05-11-2014, 08:09 PM

Jeff Gordon is back where he belongs in Victory Lane. He is back in Championship form.

CaptainCock91 · 05-18-2014, 12:57 AM

Darius Rucker sang the National Anthem at the All-star race today and was wearing a Gamecocks jacket. That was pretty awesome.

JerseyBird · 05-18-2014, 01:33 AM

Nice - will have to check my TiVo for that

Now that something you don't see everyday. I was beginning to think he would never win another one.

DBjr · 06-08-2014, 09:47 PM

only cause of some trash! lol! i like JR................but Brad had em covered for sure! BUT,1st one across wins......

JerseyBird · 06-08-2014, 11:13 PM

1st multi-win season since 2004. Like DB said, a win's a win no matter how you get it. I'm sure he's lost some undeservedly along the way

Indeed, he has. If I am not mistaken, he ran out of fuel, on the last lap, and Brad passed him to get the win.

This was a little "Pay Back".

RIP Junie Donleavy. How fitting he was 90.

Fear#5 · 07-06-2014, 02:21 PM

Doesn't look like too many cars are gonna finish this one.

Spurrier_Superior_One · 07-20-2014, 08:05 PM

Booted drivers from the Chase lose their yellow markings, shades of the No Bull 5.

Spurrier_Superior_One · 07-27-2014, 11:27 PM

Record #5 Indy win for Jeff Gordon. This was his 744 consecutive start only 44 away from tying the Iron Man Ricky Rudd, also 4 behind #11Sterling Marlin for all time starts.

Fear#5 · 07-28-2014, 01:55 PM

Getting pretty close to the Chase and in my opinion there looks to be 5 guys that can win the championship.

(in no order)
1. Gordon-super consistent and has shown the ability to win a few races
2.Earnhardt Jr.-only one bad race this year (Texas) and can win.
3. Jimmie-somewhat consistent but can go on a hot streak and win a lot.
4. Keselowski-been really good all year and can win.
5. Harvick-very inconsistent but has been really fast and can win.

JerseyBird · 07-28-2014, 04:15 PM

Can't argue too much with those. For a dark horse, and not terribly dark at that, I'd add Logano to the mix as he's had crazy stuff happen so the consistency is not there but he's been in contention most of the time when he is running.

And for the "Where did he come from?" pick, I'll also add Kenseth. No wins but he's been running good all year and he's certainly capable of pulling a 2011 Tony Stewart run in the Chase

Can't disagree on these top 5 but Junior does have history of fading in the final weeks leading up and inside the chase.

JerseyBird · 07-28-2014, 06:29 PM

Still say Gimmie Jimmie is the favorite and still say the Champion will win at Homestead

Fear#5 · 07-28-2014, 06:50 PM

I agree with putting Kenseth in the group but only if he starts winning races again.

I may be a little bias towards Junior since he's my favorite driver but I just feel like this may be his best chance to make a run for the title considering the way he's running and it being Letarte's last season.
