Fantasy NASCAR

[POJO_Risin]

So here's the thing...

what happens if idiots like wrning and/or myself beat the NASCAR vets?

we won't...lmfao...when we both forget to set our lineup every other week...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Then you'll just use the same lineup that you had for the previous week....

And if you're like me, just throw the "ringers" in there all the time, you should be OK....

[POJO_Risin]

I definately went with a slant this week...that's for sure...

I get this redneck rag for free every week at the foot of my driveway...lmfao...that has a HUGE NASCAR report...I'll read it on the shitter...I suppose...

I picked a couple of guys I've never heard of this week...until I picked...just had to make sure they made the race

...so I'm fucked from the start...

Many people don't think the drivers are athletes...The general arguement is "They just get in the car and drive..and turn left..how hard is that?". Look at it this way...You're driving in a car with no ac, it's 120* in the car, very limited peripheral vision so you're relying on the spotter to let you know of potential problems, no power steering, 170+ mph but slowing for a sharp turn every few seconds, you know there's 42 other guys doing the same thing, and everyone wants to be the first scross the line, and you have to do this for about 4 hours..without hitting anyone else, or the wall. Oh yeah..You can't stop to eat, drink, smoke or pee until it's done. Not so easy when you look at it like that.

Rose, lets not forget the G-Forces of going through those turns, and they do get a cup of whatever they drink during pit stops, and they do have water bottles in the cars with straws.

Lets put it this way, if you want to be competitive in Nascar, you have to be in top condition.
They are for the most part in as good if not better phyisical shape than any athlete in any other sport.

Then try to hit a wall going 120 to 180 mph.....It's a pretty tough thing to do.

[YankeeRose]

I believe...Michael Jordan couldn't it.

[Cathedral]

Nope, he'd wreck after he got tired of turning left, lol.

Gentelmen, and Lady.........Start your engines!!!

VROOM VROOM............................................. ..........

[YankeeRose]

My weekends have meaning again.....

oh yeah...



GO NO. 24!!!!!!!!

[rustoffa]

Did y'all catch those trucks flying all over the place?

Those things are too loose for super speedways.

Talk about a white-knuckle weekend.

Good-ol' Bobby Hamilton ain't skeered though.....fucking Spencer got flagged for passing under the yellow line and still almost won it.

I went to the truck race here this past spring....good racing.

[Cathedral]

No, i missed it, been running around all day.

I'm with Rose, the weekends are now worth something again, lol.

I think i'll head over to Nascar.com to check out some video.

[rustoffa]

The roof flaps weren't helping at all.

Two trucks went flying through the air like trick-water-skiing.

[Cathedral]

I saw one of them where the dude flipped, landed on the roof then flipped back over, and he drove it away...That was a first, lol.

Lucky Dog for sure.

[POJO_Risin]

7 teams...not to shabby...



Rose, Cat, for once...I'm not going to debate your points. I think you both are wrong about the athletic piece of this. I disagree immensely. But don't feel like rolling through this debate.

I know a bunch of people that work out. That doesn't make them athletes.

[POJO_Risin]

being able to last a long time in a car doesn't make you an athlete either...yeah...sure...it's hard...no shit...but...guess what...it's there job...and they get paid pretty fucking well...

You tell me I get a million dollars or so a year...you'd figure out a way...

[POJO_Risin]

I think NASCAR drivers are exceptional at what they do...don't get me wrong here...

but that doesn't make you an athlete.
