Now all the cars are the same. What's fun about that? It's more fun going to the local circle track on a Saturday night and watching your neighbors try to beat each other with real cars!!
    Is NASCAR still owned by one guy, who makes all the rules and designs them to make sure no one builds a better car?
    ..

    I looked back and somethin' really nasty is gaining on me.

    The cars are meant to be similar and within certain guidelines to highlight the skills of the drivers....(or so is the theory). However, the crew chiefs are constantly trying to get a leg up here or there and are fined when caught doing it. And yes, the France family still owns NASCAR...

    I have seen more articles about Patrick than the race itself. BTW she is not the first woman to race NASCAR. I won't be surprised if they put up a little window view shot of Patrick so we can enjoy watching her every move.

    Well. After seeing her Photo displayed here, I'll have to admit that this is the most attention I've paid to NASCAR----ever. Sorry guys.

    No, but she is clearly the most talented so far.....

    They just showed an incar shot of her hitting the wall yesterda, when she was hit in a turn. You can tell she came over from Indy car, because her hands came off the wheel just prior to impact. The girls got reflexes and training....

    Well it looks like I am going to be wrong since Patrick and others wrecked on the first lap, so I might not hear her name all night although they are heaping praise on her for how she wrecked........lol

    She was in 3 wrecks so far this week....none of them were her fault. When someone else hits you at 190mph, you're just along for the ride......did ya see Juan Pablo Montoya run into the back of the jet drier causing the 200 gallons of jet fuel to catch on fire???
