who's gonna win Daytona?
 

im not sure how many of you follow NASCAR, im just curious as to what you all think.

im torn between:

Jimmie Johnson
Kurt Busch
and unfortunately, Dale jr.

Awesome Bill from Dawsonville;)

I think it'll be one of the young-guns: dale jr, curt busch, matt kenseth, jimmy johnson, mike waltrip. they all seem to think dale jr will take it this year.

*crosses fingers, and chants*

Rusty Wallace, Rusty Wallace, Rusty Wallace, Rusty Wallace.........

:D

I'd like to see Kurt Busch win it.

Jr is a cry-baby, daddy's boy, and Johnson is gay

:D

Jr is gonna take it. If not him Im hoping for Bill Elliot or Mark Martin

if i wasnt so bitter over penske going to dodge id agree with you.

and i dont know what i was thinking before, DALE JARRETT has to win!!!!!!!!

I HATE JR, I HATE JR, I HATE JR, I HATE JR, I HATE JR!!!!!!!!! I HATE BUBWEISER TOO!!!!!

it will be a dei car count on it, if nascar doesnt quit giving gm everything they want, i'm done with it.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :mad: :D

I WANT Martin to win it......but, that will take a whole lotta luck
Jr. looks to be the favorite.
Pokey, why the hatred for Jr.?

Jimmie Johnson, Kurt Busch, or Ken Schrader! ~Brian

I don't follow NASCAR at all, but I heard today on the sports news that the Ford's aren't doing well this year. Something like 8 of the top 10 are Chevy's or something?

It seems like every year there is manufacturer that is at an aerodynamic disadvantage or something else.

E

WHAT?????????? When did this happen?:eek: :mad: :(

well considering in the bud shootout Dale jr came all the way back from 19th to 1st in less than 6 to 7 laps, i'd say he's got his act together and will win the Daytona 500. If not him, it will be a DEI car.

Um, you did know Rusty was driving a Dodge this year, didnt you? :D

im gonna say Jr. if not him then elliot.

I guess I do now. Well that really sucks!!!!!! :(

Yeah, I know the feeling. :(

Andy

for starters, he's trying to be his dad mostly with his driving antics(i can understand following in his footsteps but dont copy the guy),
hes a whiner,
hes cocky,
and what really pushed me over were his remarks after he made his announcement that he drove with a concussion "im better at 80% than most of these guys are when theyre at 100%"
need i mention irresponsible!

.....and i hate Budweiser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey come on man, whats wrong with Budweiser? Lol.

I could not stand Dale Sr.,but for some reason I like Dale Jr. I haven't really seen where Jr. has picked up
on Sr.'s driving style. As far as him being better @ 80% than most guys @ 100%, he IS. From the 10th race to the 22nd (when he was hurt) race he averaged ~27th, which is better than MOST guys out there. ;)
That's why this sport is so great. You could be my neihbor and hate the same guy I like, not like those "area"
sports (baseball, football, basketball....)

oh yea.....I hate Budweiser too....but, GO Jr.

Jr. Tries to copy his dad's driving style?? WTF ever. Of course he may do some things like his dad, but ****, if your dad was a 7 time winston cup champion and you got in nascar, wouldn't you pick up on some of his driving styles too?? Hell yeah you would. And about him being a whiny crybaby? Obvisouly you've never met him in person. He is probably one of the best drivers out there, and people don't like to admit that.

JR is the most over hyped guy in sports. All he ever wins is restricter plate races. If the daytona 500 that he won after his dad died wasn't fixed then i must have just had a really bad nighmare. Why doesn't anybody ever say how good kensth is. Lets see came in nascar the same year as jr and won the rookie of the year. Last year all he did was win the most races of any driver. Jr wasn't even in the top ten :rolleyes: How the hell can he be better than everyone else when he can't make the top ten and never has made the top ten. He is not all that good. Besides he drives a chevy that is enough for me to not like him.

Until the get ride of restricter plates on superspeedsways the races will suck.

I was really dissapontied penske switched to dodge. There are less fords this year than in a long time.

Anyone Dodge! :D :p :)

oh.....he raced with a bobo on his head. Whoo hoo:rolleyes:

Rusty Wallace raced with his eyes to swollen that he had to duck tape them open

Say what you want about Junior, but last year he led:

1369 miles (1st in WC)
59 times (1st in WC)
22 different races (tied with Ryan Newman for 1st in WC)
1068 laps (1st in WC)

Also finished 12th is the points, a system set up to put consistency over wins.

And this was with the lingering effects of the concussion...

He's certainly cocky. But whiny? No more so than any other Cup driver when things don't go their way. Guys ***** about spoiler height and angle from the beginning of Sppedweeks on, or who was the idiot driver who wrecked them. He's got the benefit of funding and name, if I was born into that I'd use it to my advantage too.

As far as copying his Dad's driving style, you can see that Jr. has talent but some of the recklessness that characterized Dale Sr. are more often found in Kevin Harvick and Kurt Busch (the guy who accidently-on-purpose brought out the caution in the Winston last year).

Just had to bust out the laps/miles lednumbers from this year's press guide...Cheers everybody and enjoy the race!:D

JR. was 8th in points in 2001 ;)

r/t

Like i said, he WILL win the Daytona 500. That is if one of those roush cars drive like they have sense and don't try to wreck him.
