Nascar 2017 fox contest

[Auto Donk]

Yeah when have a quarter of a million seats it always looks empty there besides the Indy 500. Always has

when nascar was really hot, early to mid-2000's, stands at indy were full for the brickyard.....

sad to see how fan interest has fallen off at most all the tracks..... sections weren't even open last sunday...... when jimmy spun out and hit the wall, there was one lone perv standing there......

[5mike5]

You could to pay me to sit there in the middle of the day in late July at 100+ degrees.

It's a terrible date for this race imo.

[5mike5]

On a side note

best month stretch for races all season starts next weekend:

Watkins glen
michigan
bristol (night race)
Darlington (night race)

[shaunovery]

I've always said the night race at Bristol is the best of the season (honestly think night races are the best ) maybe get some lights at Indy and have a night race

Don't hate Menard but after years of that team bringing along new talent since Bill Elliot's retirement, right back to giving Ambrose his first shot at a Cup race in 2007 and winning the 500 with Bayne, Wood Bros have had interesting drivers. Menard just doesn't seem to fit to me.

[5mike5]

Agree, menard is a HUGE step backwards for this team, not sure why they didn't grab up another young talent

[mikejamm]

Dale Jr, to the broadcast booth, Move over Jeff. I figure JJ will be next from the Hendrick team.

Menard is one of those guys that pops up at performing above expected at a handful of tracks. Not a sexy name, but they probably think he can do well.

No reason to think he won't run well in better equipment

Do you think the RCR equipment has held him back over the years?
Not sure Wood Bros will be that much different.

Can't do much worse than he s doing

[5mike5]

not sure who has been worse than Paul Menard

[shaunovery]

[QUOTE=5mike5;27109236]not sure who has been worse than Paul Menard[/QUOTE

He does have a cup win on his cv though

[5mike5]

If I had a family sponsor to drive a major Cup car, I may have got 1 win in 383 starts.

Well I can't drive a shift, so maybe not me lol

Look at Elliot he has 61 starts and no wins and he's in a much better car , everyone says it's a matter of time but races keep drifting buy with no success

I'll give anyone +100 he doesn't win s race this year

[Optional]

I was thinking Elliot would be a success before Larson but I guess it goes to show time/experience probably is very important.

Took Logano 3 years to start winning if i recall

And look at truex he had 2 wins in first 392 starts , he's had 8 wins in last 93

[5mike5]

Yeah I would have been all over +100 on Elliot 2 months ago, but agree experience in Cup overrides young Talent almost always.

over 0.5 wins was around -245 if I recall to begin season

[5mike5]

Reminder:

Pit stall selections based off last week's qualifying results because of same day qualifying at Pocono

[Auto Donk]

dated a girl who's hometown was bristol back in 07, phased her out before we could hit the august race.... still regret that... her family has awesome seats about 15 rows up on the finish line

[5mike5]

Im about 10 rows up in the same place

[Auto Donk]

Im about 10 rows up in the same place

but i'm not gay

[5mike5]

I meant the girl

[shaunovery]

Can kyle get a full mistake free race in

[5mike5]

Can kyle get a full mistake free race in

doubtful

never seen a fav at this bad of odds that's never won a race at a track

[mikejamm]

Just can't catch a break. Terrible run this past couple of weeks.

[5mike5]

0% chance of rain for the CUP race sunday

[shaunovery]

We like that weather forecast

[Auto Donk]

nice, a race that won't last for 7 hours or so

[bigdaddyjames]

I am in for both
