Nascar

[FroggysPad]

Yeah they called me to tell me to stop with my harassing phone calls and letters or they would put out a restraining order on me. They said my ideas mean nothing to them and to let it go...

 

No really they haven't called me neither

Maybe I shouldn't have used your name when I made all those phone calls!

  if people know Froggy and I can spend all day in this topic discussing Nascar.

I know I only call them like 50 times during each race, and write about 5 letters a week with my ideas, but they keep shooting down each idea. Sometimes they leave me on hold for 3 hours.... just long enough for the entire race...

Well, we're in the right thread so we can talk all day without getting in trouble!! 
Folks who don't like Nascar just won't click on this topic, and if they DO I'm sure they will be saying "Oh No!  Not Shay and Froggy again!" 

Jump on in folks ----- we want YOUR opinion too!

I think they should just put rubber strips around the cars and they can play like they are in a bumper car at the county fair.

Then I would have to join NASCAR to have some fun...

Froggy did you just see Nascar and how bias their "officials" are? They pick and choose who they penalize. On that last round of green flag pit stops, Kennseth pitted with his car sticking half way out of his box. Do you think they penalized him? The answer is nope. But I bet if it was Johnson, Gordon, Busch, or Edwards, they would have been penalized.

That was one of my "requests". To have it be fair. If you do it to one, do it to all. But nooooo I do not matter. They will pick and choose who they penalize.....

[FroggysPad]

Nope!  I must've been in the kitchen when that happened (I'm multi tasking today --- wow! is that ever dangerous, HaHa)

But like you, I'm not at all surprised. 
And there's no chance they didn't see it.  What do they have, like 3 officials in every pit box.....maybe not 3 but I KNOW they have at least one in every box. 
Hmmmmmm......ya think a Nascar official could be "convinced" ($$$$$) to turn his head the other way?

I wanna play!  I wanns play!  

didja know that a couple years ago Froggy gave her hubby a session at the Dale Jarrett racing school for his birthday?  Yeppers! We chose the Taledega race track and I was going to do a ride-along ------- with an instructor, not with hubby! HaHa
But we had a family emergency come up and had to cancel ---- thank goodness before we paid, because it's non-refundable.

I need to get back on that again ------- I think that would be a HOOT!!

HA HA ... my theory just got proved. Johnson was a tad over the line, the "officials" told him to back it up before they work on it. But I guess Kennseths half of the car over the line didn't matter

That's a pretty good starting point.
But I would HAVE to add Robby Gordon!
and noboby throw anything at me because this one used to be my FAV ------ but as much as I feel like a traitor for saying this, I would be prone to add Bobby LaBonte to the list. I don't think he's a dangerous driver, but I'm not sure he's still up to Sprint Cup standards. Bill Elliot would be another in that category....IMHO. Ha

Oh!  I forgot Joe Nemechek  .......I would have to add him to my list.

[FroggysPad]

Ut Oh!  Was that revenge?  #99 and #12

WOW!  These cars are nothing if not tough......that was SCARY!

I think we may see Mr Carl get fined by Nascar....??

[Shay]

... they are saying it was.. during the replay they say watch carls hands.. he turns into Brad on purpose...

Oh well what comes around goes around... Brad still has 1 more coming.. he wrecked carl last year, and then in this race tried it again...

[Shay]

nascar is now parking Carl and making him take a trip to the hauler.. utoh he gonna get it now

[FroggysPad]

Yah!  But right now I dont think he cares ---- he did what he set out to do, apparently.  did ya see the replay of the lap before this one?  Carl was gunning for him!!  

Sorry ---- but I like Carl!  

[Shay]

They are saying Carl was bumping Brad 1 lap before Carl made Brad become an airplane...

[Shay]

Carl just admitted he did it on purpose. Said now maybe Brad will stop wrecking him

[Shay]

After admitting he did it on purpose, I think he may be out for some time. We shall see.

[FroggysPad]

Well, he may look like a jerk for doing what he did ------ but he would be a complet idiot to deny doing it when it's right there on tape for all the world to see.  

[FroggysPad]

OMG!  I think Nascar may have to re-think this 3 attempt thing at a green-white checker.  that's just a catastrophe in the works. 

I can't call it what I want to here --- the censor will get me! 

[Shay]

you know I have been watching nascar for a long time now.. and I must say it has been a long time since I have seen them "PARK" anybody, so they must be PO'd at Carl

[Shay]

I think this is the second time at it this year alone... first only went to 2 times... new rule this year... I think 3 is a bit much, but they want fans to see a "racing" finish

[FroggysPad]

Well, you know Nascar is all about Safety ---- and what Carl did was extremely dangerous.  Brad or someone else could've been seriously injured ---- even someone in the stands like when Brad wrecked Carl literally into the fence and hurt that girl in the stands.

I think that's why they parked him.  He admitted deliberately creating a dangerous situation.  Granted he didn't think Brad would go airborn, but that's the problem --- he didn't think.

See what unbridled anger can do? 

[Shay]

I get the hint
