NASCAR at Daytona

[Netboy Extraordinaire]

Why? They might wreck...

They might but Jimmy Owens, Scott Bloomquist, Billy Moyer, Donnie Moran and such accelerate faster than a NASCAR and run just as close as NASCAR on DIRT SIDEWAYS IN THE TURNS and don't pile up like they did at Daytona. I have seen Bombers at Richmond run cleaner races than Daytona. If they piled up at the Dirt track in Richmond like Daytona, Butterball would turn over in his grave

Whether anyone likes it or not...seeing a good crash, or bad crash depending on how you look at it, is part of the draw for a large number of NASCAR fans.

Trying to compare dirt racing to asphalt is just asinine. Way different cars, way different factors, and the speeds aren't anywhere close to one another.

Do you really know that much about dirt racing? I mean you just named the biggest joke of all, Bloomquist. If drug use was policed on dirt like it is on asphalt, Bloomers would have been parked a long time ago, just like Jeremy Mayfield.

Steve Francis, Don O Neal, Earl Pearson Jr, Billy Moyer, Billy Moyer Jr., Donnie "Million Dollar Man" Moran (who won the first ever Million Dollar Race", North / South 100 in Florence, The Dream in Eldora (Track that Tony Stewart owns), YES I follow the Lucas Oil Late Models. A good friend of mine has a late model that he races in Richmond, Florence and Bardstown. The only reason that I mentioned Bloomquist is that he is the most well known name in Late Model racing. As far as the speeds not being anywhere close to one another, Bristol TN 1/2 mile concrete surface track record is 128 MPH in qualifying. A Late Model top speeds are 125 MPH, that is pretty close to me. 125 on dirt sideways in the turns versus Nascar on concrete is pretty equal in ability needed to drive. Ask Tony Stewart if he could make the same amount of money that he makes in NASCAR driving a Late Model, which one would he choose? He answered that question when he ran 2nd in the Prelude to the Dream a couple of years ago. The answer, Dirt Track Racer. I know a little bit about Dirt Track racing

Uh, Carl Edwards qualifying speed was 194.738 mph........how is that even close to 128 ???

You may know something about dirt track racing, but you don't seem to know numbers very well.........

Did you even READ what I typed, "Bristol TN 1/2 mile concrete surface track record is 128 MPH in qualifying. A Late Model top speeds are 125 MPH, that is pretty close to me." I was comparing the speeds of Nascar on a 1/2 mile track to the speeds of a Late Model on 1/2 mile Dirt tracks. I was not comparing the Late Model speed on a 1/2 mile Dirt track to Nascar on a 2 1/2 mile track. As far as my knowledge of numbers goes, I must be pretty stupid to take Calculus I, II and III, Physics I and II and Laplase Transforms in College and Aced them all except Laplase where I got a B. Guarantee my knowledge of numbers is better than your READING ability.

You are correct in here we go again. You love to "question" someone's ability to know numbers but hate it when you get "questioned" on your reading ability. You continue to love to dish it out but can't take it.

Re-read the entire post. Better yet have someone read it to you. Not only do you dig your grave, you lie down in it, swallow the Cyanide tablet, put the gun to your head, pull the trigger and have arranged for someone to shovel dirt on top of you after they hear the shot.

You know, the title of the thread is NASCAR at Daytona.....not NASCAR at Bristol....if you want to talk about dirt cars and compare their speed to cup cars at Bristol, then start a new thread about it.

There goes Art starting something then WAVING THE WHITE FLAG!! That is the smartest thing you have done yet. I started the post with " I am not a NASCAR fan but....." then you accuse me of not being a race fan at all. So I proved you wrong again and you wave the white flag. Dirt Track is RACING, Drag Strip is RACING. I will bet everything I own that I have been to the racetrack more days than you. Before you lose everything you own, consider that I went to Mountain Parkway Dragstrip EVERY Saturday from before I can remember to 16 yes old watching my Dad run his 57 Chevy Bel Air Two Door Hardtop between 10.3 and 10.7 consistently. Add in all the trips to the Dirt Tracks and I guarantee you have not been to the race track as much ad me. Slow down and attempt to Comprehend what is written before you start arguments that YOU LOSE.
