A usually boring race(because of track layout), raced with boring cars(COT), driven by damn good ole boys with lots of personality.

I wonder if nascrap will ever go back to what made it as great as it once was?

when the stands stop filling up, maybe, but I doubt it..

it’s not a hobby sport anymore, that’s for sure... unless you’re very rich.

My seven-year-old son is just starting to get interested in NASCAR. So, on Sunday, we sat down and watched our very first Daytona 500 together.

We’ll be watching again on Sunday.

In the meantime, I’ll be lurking here and trying to learn something!

Great Intro Norm.

The results of the first race only confused the issue.
To Toyota or not is still in limbo. Power.......Hmmmm...maybe.

I still think Toys have problems. Hey, what do I know.

[WestCoastGal]

Thanks for the thread this week Norm.

One of the California markets was giving away tickets if you bought $20.00 worth of groceries. That’s one way to fill the stands.

[SouthTexas]

Got it, thanks.

[Roccus]

Thanks for the ping, Norm.

I guess that NASCAR running its big CON (Car Of Now) was just too much competition for IROC.

Thanks Norm!

The IROC could not come up with a series sponsor. It has always had the money problems. I think Crown Royal was the last one. I always thought it was good racing because they looked like real production cars and not “make believes” that nascar runs now. Sounded better too.

I wonder if I can hear the roar of the races here in Eureka if I step outside...

Reinforcements needed over here... http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1973337/posts?page=7#7

I just hate the late starts.

But as always. GO 99!!

[o_zarkman44]

I really do miss the IROC series. It always represented the best of the best, the champions of several series outside of NASCAR. I guess IROC auctioned off most of their assets after failing to get a sponsor last year.
One sponsor for 12 cars is spreading the money very thin.

[NormsRevenge]

saw that earlier, Thanks for posting that,, and rumor is the IRL and champ cars may be merging some of their classes of competition..

[NormsRevenge]

uhh,, was I supposed to post Pro or Con on nascar on that thread? ;-}

[F-117A]

Are the NASCAR race cars called Sprint cars now?

[tubebender]

I disagreed with what you said. What ever it was...

[NormsRevenge]

much as I suspeculated.. lol..

hey, have you seen a Greatest Nascar after the race fights DvD ? I could just tape the darn pre-race show clips,, but..

hmmm..
