What a joke Nascar has become.......

Ole MOUTH DW. made a comment on the broadcast that this is just what nascrap needed to put fans back in the stands . I agree its a big joke any more .

I agree, over the years there has been way to many coincedences to make NASCAR believable.

I do agree to some extent that nascar is trying to fix the sports to draw in more fans but jr has always been fast qualifying there think he was on the front row last year. Maybe just a coincidence, guess we will never really know the truth will we?

First let me say I’m not a NASCAR fan. And I’m certainly not a Dale Jr. fan. I do watch the races, but it’s on the garage TV while I’m working on my car. It’s racing; it’s still better than most of what’s on TV on a Sunday afternoon.
But if you think NASCAR rigged it so Dale Jr. could win the pole, well, that’s just ridicules. And it’s even more ridicules to think that they could rig it for him to win. But rather then start a big debate, just think about this. Picture them telling Tony Stewart, “Ok, we’re going to let Dale win today.” Do you really think he would swallow that?
Or for that matter, tell every one of the other 42 drivers that and get them to agree to it. Heck, I’ve never seen two drivers agree on what stagger to run, let alone who to let win a race!

Didn't Junior have the pole at the Bud Shoot out also? I don't think he won that.

That aint how it is done. They just give him a restrictor plate with a little larger opening. Dont pay too much attention during inspection and all of a sudden he has the fastest car on the track. Pretty simple really, only way he could lose is to screw up and get in a wreck. And if you dont think thats how it happened the week after Dale died, the 1st time they went back to Daytona and Jr won, when Harvick won after replacing Dale and when Gordon won the 1st brickyard, I have some swampland in the Everglades I need to sell ya.

His average starting position is 11.1 at Daytona, 9.9 at Texas and overall it's 16.1. So he does qualify well there. But that doesn't mean anything at Daytona.

I don't watch anything but Nascar on TV, I don't like football, baseball or hockey. But it is more and more like wrestling every year. I know Dale Sr was a big part of it, but I can't understand how thats all they can talk about.

My money is on Kevin Conway driving the Extenze car for Joe Need-a-check. I mean he has won a couple of USAC Regional Midget races...

Yup jr started on the pole for the shootout.and crashed....jr is the most overated nascar driver around
