don't take offense...we are only having fun here!

Goin' to Watkins Glenn Sunday... hopin' Steve Park will take it again. *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I guess its not going to be JR so i will have to go with Mark Martin, also because he deserves it. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

I have to agree...I'd like to see Martin win also, his competitive years are limited

No Marlin fans? He hasn't had any bad luck yet, I wouldn't mail him the head table tickets yet.

I am also shoping #6 will win. I have $275.00 riding on it. Kevin

I believe that Marlin will win it, He hasnt had no real bad luck yet! And when it dont look good for him, everybody else seems to not do to good also! Marlin has put his time in also just like Mark, IMO they both deserve it!

I would like to see mark win even if I`am a chevy nut.We know gordo can`t win (not a fan of his) cause you can`t give up 1/2 to miss b#&@h face JMHO. steve park at the glen would be cool I saw him win the ice breaker at thompson the year dale started calling him in a prostock then a modified would love to see him in a super... * jeff in nh

Im going for marlin but i think Awsome Bill will win it. *They really got there SH!t together.

3 people i dont want to see win it.

Jimmie Johnson.
Mark Martin
Dale Jarret.

Martin would be my hopeful. *He needs to show the world that he can still doo it!!

( Go Viagra!!! )

PS...I have a rear tire off of Jimmy Johnson CORR off-road race truck. *Autographed. *Pretty cool "I" think *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

I really think it's going to be a tight race guys. It's really been anyones this year. Fans definetly have'nt been disapointed.

Long time,long suffering Marlin fan here.
Even got a little boy named Sterling,this is the year.
Here's the little rascal with the missus.

Just think where Rudd might be if it weren't for the crappy luck he's had, he has had the car to beat numerous times.

I would just like the money Stewart has paid in fines this week!

NHSCALEGATOR40, I've got a Daytona repeat shirt I'll sell you http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

A back to back Kodak shirt? Rev,do tell I got the diecast but not the shirt.
I could be interested in such a thing.

Sorry to tease you, but it's not for sale *http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif I'll take a couple of pics & post them.

Did anybody watch today's race? What was Spencer doing after the last restart? He tries to get a lap back by racing Jeff Burton, then when Burton got by him, he starts to race Jr. & the rest of the race leaders http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sleepy.gif Once he went down the lap, he should have let the other guys go. But then maybe Jimmy didn't know he'd been lapped. http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/withstupid.gif

I read a comment in the Toronto Sun last week that he might be out of the 41 car after this season. Good riddance!!

I cant stand him either. *I couldnt belive he didnt let them all go by.

I think Awsome bill was gonna win if he didnt have that shifter problem.

It's pretty cool the way Bill Elliot has been running this season. He's been in the front of every race at some point and time . That shifter really did suck but he wasn't falling back do to it. Other tracks he would have but his car just went away from them and they could never get it dialed right. I wonder if They will *keep casey attwood with the pooor season he has been having. I don't think he truelly has what it takes.
Caleb

He shouldnt have been racing them!! I too have heard the rumor that he may be out of a ride next year. Frankly Im surprised he is where he is. He hasnt had that much success. He didnt even qualify for Daytona. I dont think that money is an object for that team at all. Just my opinioin http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif

He didn't qualify @ Watkins Glen either. Kurt Busch wouldn't mind http://www.snowmobileworld-s2.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

Brought to top

It is hard to say who could win the Championship now!! It is so close. I hope that Johnson dont win it. I would like to see one of the veterans win it :thumbsup: SWRules

Im still rootin for Mark Martin, come on old boy!!! :D

Like to see Tony Stewart win it. Watched him race at Watkins Glenn... that man can drive! :yee:

Well since it won't be Junior I don't care who wins as long as its not GORDON. Damm I love it when he belts the wall........and the crowed goes wild.

At least junior will whoop some ### this weekend at talladega. He will also make a strong charge these last races and finish in the top 10 in points.

From NASCAR.com:

Sterling Marlin, who led the Winston Cup standings for 25 weeks, will miss the rest of the NASCAR season because of a fractured vertebra in his neck.

Marlin was injured in a crash Sunday in Kansas City, and the break in his vertebra was diagnosed Wednesday in Charlotte, the Chip Ganassi Racing team said.

"It is unfortunate that Sterling has to end his season early due to his injury," Ganassi said. "Sterling has dominated the championship points race, and we were looking forward to helping him win his first NASCAR Winston Cup title. We are expecting Sterling to make a full recovery and be ready to go for the title chase again in 2003."

Jamie McMurray, hired to drive a third car for Chip Ganassi Racing next year, will drive the No. 40 Dodge Intrepid for the rest of the season as well as complete the Busch Series schedule.

:( that freakin sucks ;)

That was a surprise to me!! I was rooting for Marlin to win it!! I know Jamie had tried to qualify for some races earlier, did he make it for any? If so, how many? Will he be able to run for Rookie next year? I think seven is the cut off for a year. He will be running six races. Did anybody read Track Smack today? It talks about Kenny Wallace racing for Petree w/ Carrot Top! I thought he was running for Bill Davis and Hills Brothers coffee. Did I miss something? Where is Tommy Baldwin going to end up. I thought this would have happened before DEI signed somebody for Park. He wanted to go there.

5 is the cutoff for rookies. I think he's going to miss a race because of BGN commitments. He hasn't qualified for any races yet this year.

Man that sucks.

Im still going that awsome bill will win 2 more races this year. His car seem to make huge power so his builder knows what hes doing. Tallidaga will be his next win.

IMO I think after the death of his father Earnhardt JR lost his nerve. Before he would be an aggressive driver that would do anything to win, now he moves out of the way so some one can pass. I dont think he has what it takes to win in Nascar. Just my opinion.

I would like to see, Kyle petty win same with Earnhardt Jr, and some of the other vetrains that have been silent for so many years.

My vote's for Stewart. I like anyone who drives for JGR. Too bad about Marlin, I was hoping he'd finish strong. It's also good to see Petty and Elliot having respectable years.

Sorry machzzzz1 Talladega this sunday is JR`s race. ;) And i dont think he lost his nerve, if anything he more of a reason to push to the top like dale sr did, it all takes time.

It's great to see young Jimmie in the points lead. What a year he's had. My good ole Jeff Gordon is coming on strong though. :D
Caleb

It is nice to see jimmie's performance this year, but I hope Stewart gets the championship.

#24 Jeff Gordon-The Boy Wonder still has it.....

TTT

Im not the biggest Jeff Gordon fan, but i got a funny feeling that he is going to shoot to the top before the last 6 races are over.

Stewart doesn't have the greatest restrictor plate record, but watch out paint boy. Too bad about sterling.

What a great race, Junior wins!! All 3 DEI cars in top 10. Maybe best of all though is that every Hendrick car did not finish. :devil:

Paint boy blows up, Stewart takes the point lead, Jr wins 3 straight. what a great season

GO GORDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
caleb

RIGHT TO THE GARAGE!!!!! Right Caleb


:D

What the %^&* was Martin doing? :angry: :withstupid: I haven't seen the tape of the race yet, but he says there was some kind of "hydraulic" problem & the steering locked up. I know they run power steering, but have never heard of that happening. Maybe the steering wheel did come off & he didn't want to admit it. Isn't that what happened when Steve Park got hurt?
