that would be pretty cool, i like carmichael. it seemed like everytime i saw him last season in the arca series he was doing well. and everytime i'm tuned to a truck race he was in the top 10, i think he was fourth in the daytona race until a crash ripped off the back of his truck.
now here's an honest question. i'm in colorado, and nascar fans are scarce. if they're here, they're usually from the south, phoenix, or vegas. carmichael is huge though, there are all kinds of chumps that follow motorcross. so the question is, does anyone think he could build a bigger marketing empire than junior? because i'm pretty sure he hasn't won a championship on four wheels, right? but he's all the rage...wondering if there are going to be any similarities there...

but this is the thing there guy...gone is the day. i'm not sure about the figures, but check it, it costs like 20/25 million to run a car in all 36 races. the larger teams are running 4 cars, with the option of a 5th to run a rookie. what's the salary cap in football? like 127 million per season? these teams are putting out about as much money as the teams that are competitive in the nfl, just a fun fact for the sake of comparison. so yeah, franchising, commercials and even little gimicks are kinda necessary to keep the current incarnation of the sport alive. it's a high dollar, high exposure sport now, and people need to make money to stay alive. todd bodine is second in points in the ncwts, but doesn't know if he has a sponsor for martinsville? dude, get his ass on tv, show sponsors, push it for the fans, tell me what he had for breakfast if it gets him the exposure to run his truck...sponsors need to know that they will get the tube time to dump the money in a failing economy. if the advertising doesn't make the sponsors money, they don't pay, racers don't race, and tracks close. and dude, i don't like digger either, but the butt-fun on dw is just an easy joke...

couldn't they have thrown the caution when they saw the tire cross pit road, before he chased it? it still would have ruined everyones track position, but maybe they could have done a stop and go, or a drive through penalty, and punish the whole team...4 weeks seems rough, maybe he'll still get his paycheck for his monday thru saturday duties or something in case he has a family...OR does the suspension cover the ncwts and nns? maybe he can part time it in a different series...

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the fact that the american production hot rod is gone. We've got the pontiac g8, c'mon that's lame. The Mustang, which is cool but expensive for most people to get a decent model. They made the charger 4-door, and the challenger is out of the reach of young hot rodders. If i could afford one, i don't know if i would race it, it's probably like 500 bux for a fender. AND the friggin camaro is going to be made in canada, CANADA!!! How is that an american hot rod, I also read that they're considering a turbo model? Why not get it a pair of boobs? If, as a young american, we aren't placing any reverence on auto engineering, or engineering in general, how can NASCAR survive? I love NASCAR but am constantly confronted with the fact that the average person can't understand why you'd like to watch cars go in circles. I try to tell them about the degrees of camber, tire pressure, and the other nuance that make the nascar cars awesome. Starting with the fact that they're built from the ground up by hand, that's cool. The trans am and GT leagues are cool, but they're racing modified production cars. I think it would be a safe bet that everyone on here that's a fan of racing could tell you the mileage of their first car when they got it, when they sold it, and when they had to replace their first clutch. And as far as this board goes, you've all got your community built in already. I played last year, but started late in the season, and didn't take the time to post ever. It's tough because the regualars make you put in some time before your posts even get considered, let alone replied to. And even if you're intelligent, cheetara is going to say you have shit for brains... It's cool though, i'll hang out, i just don't ever want to talk about politics again. But, I will be competing for dick joke supremacy.
there was only 8 to go, just long enough to cool the tires off on the 20...yowza.

If logano could figure out how to drive the COT like that he could make kyle look like yesterday's news, ha ha ha. Not hatin' people, just keepin it real....the young hot shot comes in a de-thrones the most popular driver, haven't we see that before?
