Ok, on to 2008. I wanted to cheer on Villeneuve this year but then I found this on Youtube. Not totally sure if I'm ok with this. At this time, he's still looking for a sponsor if I'm not mistaken.

He needs one of his man cards revoked for that.

Nick Koan · 2008-01-10, 10:35 AM

Eh, he's French Canadian.

That's two mancards automatically revoked.

What??? Not even...

Classic rag top, hot woman in red silk, he gets my vote. Damn Frenchies with their sexy language get all the hot babes.

Joeyy · 2008-01-10, 12:15 PM

They had some drafting practice at Daytona this week or last. A driver was behind Villeneuve in the draft and said he was impressed. Guess he saw a couple of great saves with Villeneuve never lifting.

I'm going to add Villeneuve to my league pick at least. Figure being a rookie he may not cost that many points to pick.

MattR · 2008-06-17, 07:53 PM

Bump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Former Aussie V8 Supercar champ Marcos Ambrose will make his Sprint Cup debut at Infineon Raceway this weekend in the Save Mart 300! The cup cars are fantastic on the road courses...Marcos will be driving the #21 Little Debbie Ford. Also in the field are Scott Pruett, Ron Fellows, Dario Franchitti, JPM, so it should be a blast to watch. Sunday on TNT

Are you fucking kidding me? One of the TWO road courses they run all year, and they put it on cable instead of network? I hate NASCAR.

Dean · 2008-06-21, 07:50 AM

NASCAR just accepted the highest bid, and if you haven't noticed, the "Networks" are dinosaurs losing more and more market share to "Cable". It is not because Cable is stealing them, they earned them by having the programing people want to watch. Blame the Networks if anybody for not shelling out for what people want to see.

Discovery, Sci-Fi, History, Speed, CNBC... I would guess these make up 90% of my viewing time with the remainder split between other cable and network stations. The networks think we want to watch things like The Bachlorette, The Mole, Desperate Housewives, and the other merde de jour...

Thanks, but no thanks.

Dean · 2008-07-04, 09:36 AM

Don't think they have a good enough cup team with Jr., Jeff and Jimmy?

OK, thrown in a FULL TIME RIDE for Mark Martin in the 5 car in '09!!!

Talk about a force to be reckoned with.

I like Mark, but probably just because I am old...

skimonkey30 · 2008-07-05, 05:38 PM

Great we have "wide open" coverage with less commercials but a huge advertisement bar that takes up 1/4 of the screen throughout the whole race and advertisements during race coverage.

I hate TNT's Nascar coverage

oh and kyle petty is fucking annoying

MattR · 2008-07-05, 05:43 PM

OMG TNT's coverage fucking sucks, I can't take it. Why can't FOX do the whole season?

Dean · 2008-07-06, 11:54 AM

I kinda like the letterboxed view. For those of us still with low def TVs, it is nice to have the extra width. Kyle is annoying. I have to go get a free Coke Zero though on him...

That's correct.

Right side tires were wearing heavily at the Brickyard.
NASCAR has vowed to get to the bottom of the issue.

Seriously?
I want that job.

"Yeah, uh, we're still in initial investigations, this is going to take some time. No immediate causes are apparent."

what the christ.

sperry · 2008-07-29, 11:00 PM

At least more than 6 cars raced.

sybir · 2008-07-29, 11:51 PM

This is true

Dean · 2008-08-02, 07:21 AM

I'm watching that race now, and OMG... What a Cluster!

Nothing quite like a tire that might last 5-10 laps... Maybe... This is going to be a long race...

The funniest part is the constant Goodyear "Ads" during the telecast by the announcers talking about innovation, etc... HA

MattR · 2008-08-02, 09:41 AM

Just fast-forward to the last 15 lap, the rest of the race totally sucks. Nothing happens.

Dean · 2008-08-02, 03:17 PM

It wasn't that bad, but definitely wasn't anything to write home about...

Now the Nationwide series running in the RAIN on 7 year old rain tires on the road course in Canada... Now there is a race!!!

MattR · 2008-08-02, 09:13 PM

Goddam, too bad Marcos doesn't have any luck, he put on a driving clinic today.

The yellows didn't help, but he did it to himself by speeding on pit lane...

Somebody should have been sponsored by RainX.

I rarely even use my windshield wipers on the freeway becasue I have so much RainX on my windshield. Just down on city streets going slow with peds around do I use my windshield wipers.
