[Steve Austin]

Good racing going on in the Nationwide, now. Cant wait for the Cup race tomorrow.:drivingskid::drivingskid:

[Grey Ghost]

BRILLIANT job by Nico!!! He knew bringing out the yellow would shut LH's lap down :lol:

[Steve Austin]

Larson is the real deal. He will be a top dog in cup before you know it.:drivingskid:

[RED-85-Z51]

Larson is the real deal. He will be a top dog in cup before you know it.:drivingskid:

Flash in the pan...like Kurt Busch, Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards, they are mediocre drivers with moments of brilliance.

[Jeff '79]

Hamilton & Rossberg should be a great battle today...:drivingskid:

[wwomanC6]

Crash


Sucks once you crash these cars, your done.

[Jeff '79]

Wow! Vettel is toast.
How can you know that you have a problem the day before and it is still junk the day of the race?

[DAB]

Oops.

[Jeff '79]

Ya, that left a mark.

[DAB]

Ya, that left a mark.

Museum quality. Sink hole division.

[Oh-yaa]

The Monaco race was actually pretty interesting to watch this morning. It's been a while since I watched one. It started at 5:00 am here which was ok since I had to get dinner going for tonight. Put a pork butt on the smoker.

[Grey Ghost]

The grid girls were smokin' hawtness I love the rivalry between Nico and LH. MB has the season wrapped up just like Red Bull the past few. So the rivalry is really the only thing to watch this season.

Ya, it was a good race. Hamilton, who was running 2nd, had something in his eye for the last 20 laps and still held off Ricciardo who was pushing him hard for the last 10 laps. Hamilton might have caught Rossberg for first if he didn't have that eye issue.
That is one hell of a cool road course.:yesnod:

[Jeff '79]

INDIANAPOLIS 500 TIME!!:hurray:

[DAB]

Busch: I'm gonna play it safe so I can finish. :slap:

Go hard, or go home.

[Jeff '79]

Busch: I'm gonna play it safe so I can finish. :slap:

Go hard, or go home.

I think what he meant was that he wants to get his feet under him and be around at the end to have the opportunity to try for the win.
Hell ! I'll be pulling for him!:drivingskid:

[DAB]

He's known for going balls out in NASCAR. I expect nothing less.

[Jeff '79]

Damn good National Anthem... :seasix:.. :flag:

[DAB]

Thank you Jim Nabors.

[Jeff '79]

Ahhh, the goose bumps have arrived after the engines fired up...
It never ceases to amaze me how that happens every year... :dance::dance:

[Jeff '79]

27 laps in and the average speed is 217mph!!! Wow!

[RedLS1GTO]

Usually I have a pretty clear cut favorite at Indy. This year is a tough one...

I'd like to see Hildebrand get a second chance. Kurt hasn't shown much so far but I'd like to see a good showing. I've always thought Marco was kind of a douche, but with Kanaan finally getting his, it might finally be time for an Andretti to break through again.


To top it off, Helio is in a tribute to my favorite car... EVER. Rick Mears' '88 PC-17. As a kid, I had a tape of that race and watched it until it was worn out. I've built the model kit of it about a dozen times over the years, had a poster of it on my wall, and still have a picture (among many others) in the garage.

[DAB]

213 avg thru 91 laps. :eek:

[Jeff '79]

It's amazing that the mechanics have these cars all dialed in and safe.
No cautions yet and the average speed is still up at 213 mph... Wow!
That takes a touch of concentration...:drivingskid:

oops!:blush:

Fixed. :cert:

[DAB]

113, 213...whatever it takes.

:Jeff '79: you know what I meant... Damn embarrassing though... :blush:

[DAB]

:Jeff '79: you know what I meant... Damn embarrassing though... :blush:

Awww... It's ok

[Jeff '79]

All right! Bunch 'em up.

Cool spin... He just totally lost it himself.

[Jeff '79]

I wonder if they prefer to run that many green laps, as they are in "the zone", or if they like a break every once in a while.

[Steve Austin]

Dixon took a hard hit to that wall. At least some guys did a damn good job of not hitting him after.

[Jeff '79]

Dixon took a hard hit to that wall. At least some guys did a damn good job of not hitting him after.

And were off.

[Steve Austin]

And were off.

Cautions cause cautions. 3 wide on the restart lap is not good with open wheels.

[RedLS1GTO]

I guess Bell's spotter didn't feel that him being on the top of 3 wide was important enough to pass along at the time. Really? 2 laps later you hear the quote "Oh, that was 3 wide" from a driver? :skep:

Clowns.

:Jeff '79: I thought the same thing. He had to know he was three wide though. Sounded like damage control to me.

[Grey Ghost]

I went to my first IRL race in Atlanta, about 14 yrs. ago. It was a night race to boot. Wicked fast compared to the NASCAR I was use to watching.

[Jeff '79]

Dayum ! Bush is in 7th :drivingskid: 11 to go

[RedLS1GTO]

The announcers were hilarious on the last stop. What do you think the team is doing for Kurt Busch? Well... they are probably giving him downforce to add security and confidence.

Seriously, have these guys EVER watched a NASCAR race? Do they REALLY think Kurt Busch is scared of that car? :rofl:

Clowns. Clowns everywhere.



... and adios Bell! :willy:

[Jeff '79]

Whoa! That was a hard hit for Bell.
Good for Busch though. Another chance to jump another spot or two.

[Grey Ghost]

Thank god for the safety standards they have these days. I think we would have a lot of dead drivers from many series without the progress that has been made over the yrs.

[Steve Austin]

Whoa! That was a hard hit for Bell.
Good for Busch though. Another chance to jump another spot or two.

:iagree: Red flag now. Major shrapnel out there now.

[Grey Ghost]

Z/28 pace car is bitchin'

[RedLS1GTO]

"Good thing he already had a concussion" :rofl:

I don't see 'sweet milk' anywhere on the list.

Here Is This Year's Indianapolis 500 'Milk List' (http://jalopnik.com/here-is-this-years-indianapolis-500-milk-list-1581412876?rev=1401042620&utm_campaign=socialflow_jalopnik_facebook&utm_source=jalopnik_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow)

[Jeff '79]

This is gonna be like the run of the bulls in Pamplona Spain.. Fasten your seat belts kids!! :drivingskid:

[Jeff '79]

Dayum !!! :drivingskid:

[Grey Ghost]

I'd like to kick the director in the nuts for that stupid split screen crap the last few laps. I want to see full screen racing!

[RedLS1GTO]

Meh.


Marco Andretti has NO balls. None. Zero.

[Oh-yaa]

Indy was a good race today too! Some racing at the end of this one too. Two races in for the day. What are the chances the 600 will be anywhere as good as the F1 and Indy this afternoon?

[Marc]

Two of the best if not The Best of the season for F1 and Indycar. Nascar needs to watch the end of this 500 to see how a race should end. :cert::cert:

Seems to me that the Indy guys took some advice from the NASCR side on that one rather than finishing it with 9 laps of caution like they have in years past. :shrug:

Slim. Mostly parading around till the last lap.

[Jeff '79]

THE COCA-COLA 600 !!

I'm starting 1, 2, 4, & 6th...:dance:

Father's Day is around the corner!

[Jeff '79]

Kurt Busch bows out with class after blowing the motor.
What a day and night for him....:clap:

[Grey Ghost]

Looks like the Hendricks motors need some Viagra.

[Steve Austin]

48 must have had it.:dance: 300 point week.:D:D

[jaxgator]

I was pretty pissed at that shit too. I don't give a shit about the drivers' wives. I want to see racing dammit! Had it not been for my 57" TV I probably couldn't have seen it as it seemed like I was watching the race on a f'king 21" or something in that range. Idiots!

[Oh-yaa]

So how was the quality of the 600 racing? Real competition or a 590 mile parade?
