All Purpose NASCAR Thread

I'm sorry to tell all the Said heads that Boris will wreck today or blow a tire. Unfortunately, he's my fantasy pick.

Here are my recent picks for the last six races, with results:

Indy: Kahne (36th, crashed on last lap)
Pocono: Hamlin, WON
New Hampshire: Kurt Busch (38th, got wrecked)
Chicago: Tony Stewart (32nd, ran out of gas on last lap while running third)
Daytona: Brian Vickers (18th, fell back after leading)
Sonoma: Robby Gordon (40th, crash)

Sorry, Boris. You'll have to sell more cases due to this pick.

EDIT: Jimmy Spencer, whose picks have been as poor as mine, also picked Boris today. Ouch.

 

How about a different winner today?

In the Chase era, I think there have been only two drivers who have won just once -- Jarrett ('05) and Nemechek ('04). Is that right? I believe every other race winner has won at least twice. Even Mayfield and Sadler. Even Hamlin.

 

Is this a record? Race hasn't even gone green yet.


I'll go out on a limb and say Mayfield won't win. Neither will Sterling Marlin. And Marlin's actually entered.

 

Oh man...Benny sounds really bad. Ouch.

 

Dayum.

Sucks to be Kurt Busch right now.

EDIT: And that's what we call payback, Mr. Kahne.

 

These fuckers are gonna kill somebody today.

All over the track.

 

Looks like an ARCA race.

 

Darkhorse for a top 5? He qualified 10th and won on a road course in the Busch race in Mexico City.

 

Jayski reports that the NBC affiliate in Cleveland is not showing the race. I'd be pissed...

 

Boris has spun twice so far...I give up

 

I totally agree, Kurt got the shaft there...how are you supposed to get off pit road just as that light comes on? That wasn't much of a shot.

IJAG was right about Marlin. He just wrecked.
