"Where'd all the race fans go?" Nobody seemed to be posting in here so I just forgot about it. "I read where 42% of NASCAR fans are women!" After going to races in Kansas City I'd have to agree, or say maybe even MORE than 42% are fans! When my dad found out I was going he said I'd be one of the few women there. Sorry dad, but racing has changed in the 30 years since you went!

Dale Earnhardt, Jr. wins Daytona 500! Wonder why this thread is in the Community Corner? LOL I*ve been looking all over for it.

Urgrace, I wondered the same thing! I really enjoyed the race today, although was it ever in doubt that Junior was going to win today! I felt so bad for Kurt Busch, he could've been a contender if not for that run in with Junior. And way to go Scott Wimmer! Finishing third in your first Daytona 500 has got to feel good. I was quite concerned about the rest of the Rousch/Yates engines when Mark Martin and Jeff Burton had problems so early on. Overall, it sure feels good to have cars back racing again!

Jeff Gordon is gay? I never knew that. I never even heard that before. Probably because I don't pay attention to NASCAR, but not much is going on on the board right now so I'm just peeking in here. Curiosity, ya know.

FWIW I think the ex made up the story about Jeff being gay to get her divorce. Yes, Marysafan, this was an exciting, amazing, edge of your seat right up to the last moment kind of race. Even the commercials were cute!

This thread is here because it's been around for ever, making it a 'Classic' thread - when we setup CC to hold threads that may become inactive for a while (like between racing seasons I think), this way the thread would still be here when things start up again. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks Draheid, it just seemed an out of the way place for it, and I really did look in several other places for it first. Did anybody see the race today? Dale, Jr. won another 100,000$

Let me just say this.... Way to Go Jr...!!!! . Loved the post-race interview on NBC where he said "was riding in the passenger seat" ( i. e. Dad Sr.) Maybe I am too sentimental but I enjoyed Jr, glad he won and it was a great race. Am looking forward to the rest of the season. Bets for Rockingham???? By the way, I am a Ford Fan!!! in spite of my excitement over the Daytona!!!

I can't belive the walltrip walked a way from that tripal fip and then some. I'm a #20 Tony fan but loved it when jr. won. for the rock I don't think a young gun will winn just because of the tires. the rock chewed up the harder tires of last year. with these new softer tires that the older driver used to use I think it will be some one like the #40,#6,#2,and so on I say the #40 will win the rock NC.

Tony fan here too. He and Jr really made the race exciting right down to the wire. I kept wondering, after they said Waltrip was okay,if they would flip the vehicle for better extraction! It just seemed the thing to do. I'm so glad he was okay. Was the 30 car a rookie? Hey, Bobby Gordon is getting pretty good, huh!

Jeff Gordon is not gay. Jeff's wife wanted a divorce because he was cheating on her w/ another woman. The other woman broke up w/ him because she found out he was cheating on her.

Oh...so she made it up? That's weird. Why not just get a divorce and be done with it?

I don't think Brooke ever said Jeff was gay. I could be wrong. The divorce papers said "marital misconduct" so it could be because he is gay, was cheating on her, or both. Didn't like how she and her laywers brought the divorce to the tracks but oh well that's money for you. Glad it was finally settled. Anybody hear if they have at least 43 cars to qualify on Friday? Last I heard it was just 40. I think we're gonna see more and more of this because of the "last 10 races" rule. Oh well. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TONY! MIKEY! ELLIOTT! BRENDAN!

Just saw Jr on CNN. Glad he won.. (I'm just a sentimental wuss I guess. It took 20 yrs for SR. to win, 6 for Jr. & 3 yrs ago was the fatal crash). Not too sure about the new point system, but I think it will add a lot of excitement later in the year. NC... I agree with your opinions on Rockingham... & my pick will be # 2 (liked him better as a Ford Driver!!! however, & my last name is Miller, so there you go.. Emotions again . Urgrace... Michael was none too happy & really wanted the car flipped but I do have to go with the safety crew in not knowing what, if any, serious injuries he may have sustained. Kaili.... I have to believe Jeff's ex was only thinking $$$$$ in the divorce (Defame & Claim attitude IMPO...) Quick recap.. For The Rock Race.. my bets are... # 2, # 97 & # 20 (dang , I wish Tony drove a Ford!!)

There is now a full field for the Subway 400 in Rockingham thanks to some fast work on the phones by NASCAR. Don't get too excited though...they are field fillers at best. Andy Hillenburg, Kirk Shelmerdine, Andy Belmont, Carl Long, and Morgan Shepherd...and possibly John Andretti. No Jimmy Spencer or Tony Raines though. This leads some credibility to the rumor that part of the tv package includes a stipulation regarding a full field of 43 cars or there is a penalty of some sort.

So Brooke found out Jeff was having a affair while they were married and then the woman he was having the affair with, found out he was seeing another woman? Way off topic, but, did any of you watch John Daly win that golf tournament? 2 great sports wins on Sunday.

So if they are using all these fillers for a full boat at Rockingham does this mean there will be a ton of crashes? If Andretti drives guess they are guaranteed at least one.

RE: Michaels's accident I think what Mikey was more upset at the safety crews cutting the bars. He was upside down and could hardley breathe. I think he understands why they had to wait to flip the car. He doesn't understand - and neither do I - why they were cutting bars. The car is flipped over on him and they are cutting bars apart. What happens when the bars are cut "to relieve the pressure"? The car crushes Mikey. He said last night on INC that he told the dudes with the sawsall that they better run if he heard them cutting anymore.

In the past, whenever field fillers have been used, they run a few laps then retire to the garage with "handling" problems. The reason for this is that they don't have any pit crews! That way they can collect money for finishing without having the added the expense of having to pay, feed, and house a pit crew. It's the only way they can come out ahead.
