2010 NASCAR Season: You might be a redneck

[The Incredible Gulk]

Gentlemen start your engines! Alright NASCAR fans almost time for a new season of racing to begin. Who will take it all this year? What will the Sprint Cup cars be like with spoilers again? Will Johnson win for an unprecedented fifth time in a row?

I will be rooting for the Roush guys again, with Kenseth as my favorite. Also hope Scott Wimmer, and Paul Menard have good seasons too.

Re: 2010 NASCAR Season: You might be a redneck

I'll be rooting for the Roush boys as well. Im expecting Edwards to have a big year.
Now that Ford will be using the new engine, they should be much more competitive with the other manufacturers in terms of horsepower.

anyone catch the JJ 24/7 thingy?? we missed it and haven't looked for reruns.

Re: 2010 NASCAR Season: You might be a redneck

Didnt see it. I honestly dont pay much attention to NASCAR until hockey season is over though.
As far as my sports watching time goes, hockey comes first.

Really no point in watching anymore. Someone with a Hendrick engine leads going into the chase, Johnson wins it all. Rinse and repeat. *snores*

I will be cheering for Keselowski to put Hamlin into the wall, time and time again.

Oh, I will also be cheering for Gordon...I know most of you don't like that, but you you can go poke yourself in the eye for all I care.

I cheer for Gordon if I happen to be watching as well. Probably why I am so jaded with this jazz. How do you beat a guy you mentored and share all your info with? One of them is going to have to just wreck the other sometime. Once that happens, it will be glorious.

Hamlin already blew out his knee playing basketball last week. Won't have it fixed until the season ends in November. He's got a DNF before he's even in his Toyota. (I wonder if they are having accelerator pad problems with their cars??)

Keselowski is an idiot and if he thinks he can continue to drive in cup like he did in Nationwide he has a lot to learn.

My thoughts exactly. Since he started driving for Jr in the Nationwide Series his ego has gotten way out of control.
If he keeps trying to pick a fight with everyone who bumps into him, he is going to have a very difficult time in NASCAR.
Im waiting for the day when he and either Montoya or Stewart get into it. Montoya and Stewart both have bad tempers and would think nothing of putting a young punk like Keselowski in his place.

Keselowski isn't any different than Stewart when he came in and people loved him. If NASCAR really is going to be as hands off this year as they say, it could make for some interesting racing and wrecking.

I'm not really a Keselowski fan, I'm just picking him in his feud with Hamlin. I think Hamlin is the biggest crybaby on the circuit and I'm tired of his "poor me" shtick. Then when he wins, he's apparently the greatest driver in NASCAR. I think he's too arrogant for what he has really done in NASCAR. Believe me, if Kesolowski goes up against somebody else, I'm no more likely to pick him then whoever he goes up against. It all depends on who the players are, the only one I'm loyal to every time...although I would call him on it if I thought it was his fault...is Gordon.

Hamlin the biggest crybaby on the circuit? Try your boy Gordon. He invented whining in NASCAR. I am not sure what you have been watching for the last couple of years but I would put Gordon, Kyle Busch, Greg Biffle and many others above Hamlin when it comes to whining. Denny is a clean driver and races the other drivers with respect but when you get under his skin he will defend himself. If anything he gave Keselowski the benefit of the doubt multiple times last season and then enough was enough. Is Hamlin perfect? No but I think he is very good at being accountable for his mistakes. This is something that Keselowski has yet to learn and needs to learn. Hamlin isn't the only cup driver that he messed last year either. Edwards and Busch were others just to name a few. If he keeps it up at the next level he won't have any friends to help him out when he needs it.

Stewart is the best driver in America. So yes, there is a big difference between Tony Stewart and Keselowski.

(I'm not saying Stewart is the best NASCAR driver, but the best driver across the board.)

And Gordon is the whiniest driver in all of NASCAR. If you ever attend an event its amazing how much booing Gordon gets. LOL.

They all mess with each other at some point and they all whine about something at one time or another, but the Gordon haters like to have the selective hearing. I'm not arguing with you by the way, I just don't have selective hearing. One of these days Gordon haters are going to have find something else to whine about themselves.

I have and I wasn't surprised, what I found surprising is when Stewart crashed out and all his supporters left...that's what I found surprising.

Yes. Very true. It is very hilarious.

Agreed. I attended the Brickyard 400 back in the 90's and my Dad and I both had scanners. We picked up Gordon, and were listening in when he had a tantrum. His car wasn't running the best, and he says something like " This car is Junk! I can't drive this kind of Junk!" to Evernham. Well Evernham calms him down, and they do some small adjustments. He ended up winning the race.

Ever since then, no respect for Gordon whatsoever. Plus, I used to be a Rusty Wallace fanatic back in the day, and Gordon screwed him over at Bristol a couple of times with a bump and run to win.

I wish they would just let drivers police themselves more, or switch to rules similar to some of the smaller racing series or local short tracks I've gone to. If you spin someone out or spin out on your own; back of the pack. Spin out more than twice; park it. It keeps the racing competitive yet clean.

I'm still a Smoke supporter, even though I hid while he drove a Toyota. He was trying to be a team player, but his heart wasn't into driving anything but a Chevy. I'd have liked to have been a fly on a wall when Gibbs had Hamlin and Stewart together in a meeting. I bet there were some choice exchanges. As for Keselowski, he'll learn the same way that Montoya learned. You take too many DNF's and you'll get sacked, whether they are your fault or not. He better learn to work with drivers and not alienate them, ala Shrubby.

And, if I had a candidate for whiner of the year, I would have nominated Junior. Sorry, his legacy, nor working for Hendrick, can't keep covering up for his lack of results. Yet, the only one that keeps getting blamed is his crew chief or his crew. I heard him blame his equipment too much last year, working for the best financed organization in NASCAR.

I would agree if you're taking all aspects of driving on any surface etc into account that yes Tony Stewart would be up there if not the best. He's one of those guys that picks something up very quickly. He's proven it on Dirt with modifieds, late models, and sprints as well as in Indy and NASCAR.

However, I feel the best pure talent driver in NASCAR, as much as I hate him, is Kyle Busch. That man can flat out DRIVE. Checker or wreck her attitude but once he matures a little bit more and he could get out of a Toyota we'll really start to see him shine.

and this is coming from a Jimmie Johnson fan that was a fan of the 48 long before he was winning Sprint Cup titles.

Re: 2010 NASCAR Season: You might be a redneck

Comparing drivers to rock acts:

Tony Stewart = Springsteen

Mark Martin = Clapton

Gordon/Johnson/Edwards/Hamlin = Corporate Rock Crap

Jr. = Rockwell

Re: 2010 NASCAR Season: You might be a redneck

Because he complained about a car that wasn't working right to his crew? What is he supposed to do? Say it works fine and lose?
