Hey guys. Havent been here for a while. I know its not important to yo or anything, but I got an email from RB_Bran to tell you that he got a 14 day ban for some stupid reason. If you notice, he advanced a level a couple of days ago.

But enough of that. I got a question that came into my head yesturday. Where did the word nascar originate? Does it mean "Nas" as in Nitrous Oxide cars? Or does it have some other meaning...

Im gonna join the group, Nascars my life. BTW, NASCAR means, "National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing" i had that memorized since i was about 8 years old. Also im a big earnhardt fan.

Thanks, but you're a little late, I just go out today. But I'm lvl 10 now, so I'm happy.

Anyways, I watched the race on Saturday with some friends of the family. It was a nascar/birthday party for my mom. We had a huge sub sandwich and some cake with some chips. It was fun.

He just needs to avoid the late accidents. I don't think it'll be too long before the 8 is back at the top.

You celebrated the subway 500 with a sub? Subtle :P

Yep, but it wasn't subway. Hehe, it was form a local business, all well. =P

Just out of curiosity, why hasent the founder of this club been posting? I mean his last post here was in 2003. If you didnt know better, you would think that Coop is the leader. =P

I did find it very amusing to read the Cross' Words article on nascar.com especially the bit about selling the advertising space in the invocation.

Do like all good deities and make yours a Subway.

Michelinman founded this club. It became inactive. Byrd798 came in and made himself the leader. I spent some time chatting with him in here, but I have effectively taken over stewardship of this club. I just like talking about the things I like, like NASCAR.

Dang i didnt know there has been like 3 diffrent leaders to this club. But hey its a good club nonetheless.

Yes, well, I guess it doesnt get much popularity cuz most people consider nascar not a sport. But if I'm right, I think it is tecnically a sport.

I consider it a sport. All you have to do is look at the physical exertion that the drivers go through during a race. In the mid-summer ones, they will probably lose near enough a gallon of fluid just by sweating. When they climb out of the cars after an event, they are drenched with sweat and are given towels. Tony Stewart could hardly walk after the last race and complained that his team wheeled his car off, while he was leaning on it.

Well yeah of course its a sport and i also think that coop made a good point by saying what he said. Cause them drivers do have to go threw alot of wear and tear to run one of those races. But yeah it is a sport no doubt about it.

The 8 car will conjour up some emotions on Sunday. Black paint job for what would have been Dale Senior's 55th birthday. At his favourite track too.

I dont want everyone getting too emotional cuz we dont want it to ruin the race.

Everybody should bring their emotions along, leave them in the garage and go race, then get emotional.

This probably won't happen, as we missed out on THE BIG ONE in Daytona, but NASCAR's new regulations on fender supports, to eliminate dangerous slam drafts may make the race safer and more enjoyable.

Race tomorrow.... I forget where it is tho...

I didnt watch it this week. Hopefully, Coop can give us the inside scoop.

yes, I made that up myself...

Talladega, Alabama.

The pun was poor.

I've watched it until 60 laps to go, after Jr takes a spin and hits only Tony Stewart in the 20. Both cars have minimal damage and are still running top-10.

The race is anyones... well, there was a 'big one' on lap 9, which took about 10 cars out.

Hey Qymaen, I like ur new sig, looks awsome. And Coop, you should get a sig that represents all of the clubs that you're in. That would be awsome =P

The porblem being that I'm in about a dozen clubs. That would make my sig too crowded... maybe a .gif of 12 different pics would be the way to go.

Anyway, I felt really sorry for Brian Vickers. He was leading at the white flag and he got hung out to dry by Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart. That should have been his first career victory.

Yes, I've noticed. Also, are you in the Star Wars club? I saw you post there recently, but I dont remember you posting there before...

Yeah Stewart. Besides, the first career victory is all the more sweeter when you lose the first couple of times.

Not

Star Wars is one of the clubs I lurk more than post in, as there's never really anything good for me to say.

It can't be that far away, otherwise Hendrick wouldn't stick with him.

200 / 400 laps completed, Harvick leads by 3 seconds over Junior. I can't see a way of catching him at the moment.

Hey guys, I recently revived the starcraft club, for no1 has been on it for like a year. The only problem is, is that its hard to find some starcraft players out there. If any of u like starcraft or play starcraft, come join the starcraft club. Just click on my sig.

I've been watching the All-Star challenge over the past couple of evenings. I'm worried about Jimmie Johnson and how fast he is. (Coke 600 on Saturday night)

Well Jimmie Johnson Won the Allstar Challange YAY!! Well anyway Jeff Gordon Came in 3rd so yeah go Hendrick!

I loved the big wreck with Mark Martin, Kasey Kahne and all the others in. Spectacular and an amazing amount of damage, with no injuries resulting. Just how great crashes should be.

Yeah crashes are very good to have in races. But sometimes they also result in death like what happened to Dale earnhart Sr. But hey if they dont result in injury they are cool to watch.

That's why it's the third best crash I've ever seen. numbers 1 and 2 being Elliot Sadler at Talladega in 2004 / 2005

At least in 2006, he learned to finish with all four tires on the track.

Yeah he does kinda suck. but anyway he has learned that you have to finish the race to hget points for it.
