2010 NASCAR running thread

They want wrecks, bubbs. Mike Helton all but said last weekn they need bumping and rubbing to make it exciting and boost TV ratings.

WWE on Wheels

 

I want ol' DW off my TV.

 

And shouldn't we be saying some guy nobody ever heard of won the Daytona 505?

 

Wrecks spaced out naturally over a race are one thing, wrecks caused by driver incompetence/inability to control themselves because of NASCAR's contrived end-race rules are quite another. It is bad for their ratings in the long run.

No disagreement on the WWE crack.

 

I'm not sure if it was a national or regional spot, but there was a commercial for the April Talladega race on at some point. It was promoting the hell out of the fact that bump drafting was back and the race would be exciting again. It basically did everything but say, "If you don't see someone die we'll refund your money!"

 

I think far more people hate races ending on caution than the new rule. Bottom line is that everyone knew the rule change. Greg Biffle doesn't get to bitch about it.

 

Wouldn't it have been Biffle?

 

If it's scripted, why wouldn't you script an even bigger nobody like Michael McDowell or an even bigger hard-luck driver like Mike Bliss or someone who's a road racer like Boris Said to win? Hell, let's put Dave Blaney back in a ride, tell him not to go to the garage with unknown mechanical issues ten laps into it. Why not script it to let AJ Allmendinger win, since Richard Petty's wife is in poor health?

Conclusion: Spnited likes figure skating, and we all know there's never been any collusion amongst judges in that sport whatsoever. Nosireeeeeee.

 

As someone said yesterday he also needs help picking out his ties. And making sure they are tied to the proper length, I'll add.

Well, at least Mikey is saying today he wants to run at Daytona again next year. Glad he got that out of the way.

 

Scripted isn't the right way to put it. Contrived definitely is.

 

What they wanted was a script that ended with an EXCITING RACE TO THE FINISH!

Instead they got, did you cum? (No.) Did you cum? (No.) Did you cum? (YES!) Fucking finally.

 

Are we at least all in agreement and universal approval of a very diminished Digger presence?
