Any NASCAR fans?

This is probably a topic fail.

However, Swaffy seems like he might have a little redneck in him...

I'm excited about this weekend's Daytona 500.

Synthony · Feb 18, 2011 1:52 AM

Thurr's another left turn! [FAIL]
Um. Isn't Swaffy a girl? Or am I thinking of someone else?

*reads riverhippos post laughs *bleep* off nearly falls of chair*oh man thats freaking awsome dude well done we all hate swaffy that hater.

Yeah, but this topic really is about NASCAR, lol

Here's some good footage:

Last Years Daytona 500 finish:

The Daytona 500 lineup is determined by two races called the Gatorade Duels. These races were on Thursday. Here's how they finished:

Duel 1:

Duel 2:

LOL, I like how the crash stole the attention. No one seems to care that it was a photo finish.

Joey Logano crash:

"Sometimes you're the bug, sometimes you're the windshield. See, I was the bug, so that's not good."

LOL.

And for the more perverted NASCAR fans:

Spyro relates to NASCAR at least a little. Activision will release their first NASCAR game this spring under the title: "NASCAR 2011: The Game"

Here's some preview footage:

I'm not a redneck, Hippo.
If/When I do watch television, I watch Mythbusters or something on the
Military channel. I like guns and pretty explosions.

And Synthony, I'm a male, not a female. No offense taken.

Don't really watch racing sports, but on an unrelated note, there's a track for the Indy 500 at my city (which nearly disappeared due to lack of funds and popularity, but happily this didn't happen).

a track for Indy 500? what?

Two main racing events you already know - there's Nascar, and then there's the Indy.

riverhippo · Feb 18, 2011 5:38 PM

oh, ok. there's a race in edmonton for the IZOD indycar series curcuit. It's actually an Indy 500. There is only one Indy 500 race, and it takes place in Speedway, Indiana ever year on memorial day weekend.

Synthony · Feb 19, 2011 3:33 AM

Sorry about that Swaffy. ^^; I must have gotten you confused with someone else.

The last two laps of Friday night's NASCAR Truck race.

NASCAR? Does not compute....

Here are the wrecks from Friday night's race:

Swaffy... You are a military loving, extremely religious, video game playing man who lives in Texas, and you like NASCAR.

The only way how you could be more redneck is if someone took a red brush and wiped right across the back of your head.

No ... I'm not into NASCAR. Hence me saying that I watch Mythbusters
and the Military channel.

If you knew me in the real world ... forget it, it's not worth the arguement.

riverhippo · Feb 20, 2011 3:35 AM

Well, you really shouldn't be offended anyways. The term "redneck" is not nearly as offensive at it used to be. And there are several ways of using those types of words to describe something that is not necessarily insulting to those kinds of people, but is more depriving that person's sense of reality. Which is why people from New Jersey are so annoying.

For instance, some people who lived in a big city all their life would consider a small town of 10,000 "redneck country".

Ghetto is almost used the same way.

1. You're saying that as if redneck is an insult. Rednecks are typically hard workers. The term 'redneck' actually came from getting sunburn on the back of their necks after working in the sun.

2. I live in New England out in the forest, play video games, and like the military too. Should I be offended if anyone called me a redneck?

3. You live in a city. Did you seriously think I was serious when I called you a redneck? Heck, I don't even know if rednecks play video games.

4. This is a forum, a paralepsis is obviously noticeable. Especially since you obviously have plenty of time to think your post and change whatever you'd like.

Wow, what a thread. I beleive that Reddragon and I have had this topic a few years ago. I'm probably one of the biggest NASCAR fans there is beleive it or not. I run a fantacy NASCAR league, I watch nearly every weekend, and contrary to the seriotype: I'm not redneck smile

The 500 was a little odd this year with the continual draft lock, but that was sort of what I had expected when they repaved it anyways. All of the other races have been pretty exciting, and it's looking to me that the old Bristol is back. I'm just gonig to say that this Sunday will likely be one of the best Bristol races since they added the progressive banking in 2007.

BTW, there's only 1 Indy 500 Track, and it's in Indiana. You were refering to a track which features an Indy Car Series event correct?

Yeah, since he's from Edmonton, CA, he's probably referring to an IRL sanctioned track. Not an actual 500 mile race, the the Indy 500.

~cornys~ · Mar 21, 2011 1:14 AM

I would guess he's refering to the Long Beach track. I'm not familiar with the IRL however.

Bristol race today was pretty exciting, but I was sort of disappointed about the winner (even though I predicted him to win)

Also, Swaffy is not a kind of person that I'd think of as a NASCAR fan. The most hardcore racing fans are usually intelegant, engineer type people who aren't too proud to go against the norm of society. He's not the enginerer type from what I've seen in the past.

closing laps of the Aaron's 499

Fast forward for 2:10 for the finish.

The recent race where at the end everyone crashed made me think of Dale Earnhart Sr.
