    Harvick and Busch both got a $25000 fine and 4 weeks probation for what happened on pit road last Sunday!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,535 ✭✭✭TheChrisD


    ****, that was some final GWC at the end of the Nationwide race in Dover!

    Also, both Nationwide and Sprint Cup quali rained out? Boo...

    Go Kimi in trucks! from starting 31st to fin(n)ishing 15th. Corrected the car few times this weekend while sliding and hitting the wall. Attracts sponsors, introduces Nascar to Europe, learning new things, enjoying hospitality, not making fool mistakes (if any!).. next week driving for Nationwide with combination Nemechek's car + mix of Nemechek's and Busch's crew :cool:

    *sigh* Jr., Jr., Jr....


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,535 ✭✭✭TheChrisD


    God-dammit, why the **** is the F1 and the NASCAR on at the same time?

    Anyway, story of the NASCAR so far: Hamlin running away with it as he always does at Pocono, Monty in 2nd, Kyle and Harvick poking at each other again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,535 ✭✭✭TheChrisD


    Montoya to the lead :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,535 ✭✭✭TheChrisD


    Well, now the NASCAR's over before the F1 :D

    I just realised, after Michigan this weekend, it's a road-course double header with the Nationwide at Road America on Saturday, and the Cup at Sonoma on Sunday :D

    The head on Stewart afterwards is pretty funny, almost like he wishes he'd stuck with single-seaters. :pac: Would've liked to see him really try and hammer a lap though, seemed to be taking it very handy.

    Guess who disappointed at Indy again...

    The Advocare 500 is on Setanta Ireland live this weekend on Sunday night/Monday morning from midnight to 5am for those who mightn't have known!

    They've moved it up to the main channel? Wonder if that's just because it's a night race, or is it a sign of things to come.

    Either way, Setanta don't broadcast on Magnet anymore, so I'm still stuck with my web streams :(


  • Registered Users Posts: 692 ✭✭✭gs39t


    Setanta seem to have started a horrible trend of injecting their own ad breaks in the very closing stages of the races. At Michigan, they took a break with a few laps to go and came back just before the white flag. They did the same thing on Saturday night with Bristol; took a long break with 7 ~ to go and came back as the white flag came out. I was pi**ed because there was a great battle for second! They normally throw a few ads in to go along with the US breaks, but these cut straight into the ESPN coverage.

    Cannot possibly think what muppet decided this was a good idea. I thought Michigan might have been a slip of the finger but this was clearly timed. We'll see what happens with Atlanta, but if it happens again i'm canceling my sub immediately and sticking with streams.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,535 ✭✭✭TheChrisD


    They're adding more ads? Do they not think the stupidly high amount of ads that the US channels take is way more than enough? The past few races have averaged less than a 2.5:1 ratio of race coverage to ads...

    Jimmie Johnson crashes epically! There is a god!

    Damn, thought the race was tomorrow and I'd catch the highlights. Meant to say before now that Jimmie timed his run as perfectly as ever. :pac:


    I assume he's fine and just the car is wrecked? :)

    I wouldnt be too upset; its likely to be 500 miles of two-car-tango.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,316 ✭✭✭✭amacachi


    I like it though :pac:


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,535 ✭✭✭TheChrisD


    Yea, you really can't argue much against the superspeedway races...

    7.21pm green flag, this one should be fun :P

    Still find it mind-boggling how big the crowds are for NASCAR compared to IndyCar.
