Robby Gordon in 15th place after 80 laps. Very encouraging.

twinsfan -> RE: NASCAR (10/16/2010 8:34:59 PM)
Didn't this Charlotte race used to be 600 miles?

twinsfan -> RE: NASCAR (10/16/2010 9:18:57 PM)
Why is Reed Sorenson driving #83? I thought that was Brian Vickers? Where is Vickers?

twinsfan -> RE: NASCAR (10/16/2010 9:23:38 PM)
There ya go, Robby. A classic spinout....a little face time for your car. He's good at that.

Jim Frenette -> RE: NASCAR (10/17/2010 10:26:58 AM)
Well Matt it's time to find a driver that actually finishes on same lap as winner[:D] Sorrenson has been in that car since Vickers had the blood clots and had to take year off

Any truth to the rumor they will be shortening each race by 100 miles next season to generate more interest? Seems backwards to me. The only benefit to shorter races is the cost savings and environmental protection. Something just doesn't sound right if the first race of the season is now the Daytona 400. That's supposed to be the crappy mid-season race. Now the crappy mid-season race will only be 300 miles, I guess.

Honest to God they couldn't make it interesting if they had an animated frog trying to hop across the track.

Matt, Robbie and Conway switched up cats again this week. Robbie is driving the 07 and didn't qualify. It'll be interesting to see if he jumps into the 7 for the race

Fun race today. Very impressed with Robby's run. He managed to stay on the lead lap almost all day. He held on just long enough to see cautions at the right time several times. Always fun to watch a guy battle like that. Also kudos to Ken Schrader who did the same. I really wish NASCAR would just go to all short tracks and road courses. That's where you see who the good drivers really are. Love him or hate him, Robby is probably the best driver in NASCAR. Funny how Mark Martin's car got really fast by removing the rear bumper. There's a nice strategy for someone to try next year at Martinsville.....have a teammate rear-end you mid-race, damaging the bumper enough for it to either fall off or "require" the pit crew to remove the bumper as a car repair. Hate the way so-called stock cars look now. They look like modifieds, not the classic stock cars Earnhardt and Petty ran.

twinsfan -> RE: NASCAR (10/25/2010 10:35:05 AM)
Was that the most entertaining race of the year?

Jim Frenette -> RE: NASCAR (10/25/2010 10:47:50 AM)
Not really. I like the super speedways myself and hate road courses

twinsfan -> RE: NASCAR (10/25/2010 12:22:42 PM)
I agree that road courses don't make for the best TV. Plus, most of the drivers are clueless on them, so it's impossible to go more than 4 laps without a caution. The short tracks are the best. Lots of passing, lots of bumping, lots of guys showing off their driving skills. Bristol is a lot of fun. But that race at Martinsville yesterday might have me convinced that it's better than Bristol. If they ever take those short tracks off the circuit because there isn't much seating, I'm gonna be pissed. The superspeedways with restrictor plates are fun the last 10 laps, but that's about it. The first 95% of the race, everyone is just trying to stay out of the big wreck. And hopefully leading their one lap. That's about it. Pretty boring. The intermediate tracks are hit-and-miss. Don't care for Michigan or California. Nothing ever seems to happen at those races. You can tell who is going to win within the first 20 minutes. The best of the cookie-cutter tracks seems to be Kansas. Seems like there is more passing there.

I think Jim might be biased against Martinsville because it is a Sunday race in the middle of the NFL season. That's too bad. I think the fact they race on a Sunday in the middle of the NFL season is refreshing. Sure beats watching a meaningless game like Miami-Pittsburgh.
