[Sooner in Tampa]

Best Race of the Year!!!!! Every Year

[SteelClip49]

NASCAR still sucks........and it's the reason why OU/Miami is an early kickoff.

[Rogue]

Tickets were going from $150 to $1500 here this week.
Crazy rednecks everywhere, 160,000 in the stands tonight. Thunder outside, they stayed dry last night.

I went to the spring Busch race. Tried to get a pic of the Oklahoma Centennial car, but it wrecked pretty quick.

No wonder all your spek is red. ;)

[Sooner24]

I want to go to the Bristol night race once before I die.

[Rogue]

Stewart sounds pretty fired up. The drivers play it up a little, but I think they really dread Bristol sometimes. Tony says this may be the best race, entertainment wise, in 15-20 years.

+1

[oilmud]

The truck and busch race were two of the best I've seen in a while.

Come on up! Mrs. Rogue just finished repainting the guest room. Tickets to the spring race are sometimes hard to come by, for the night race they are very scarce. It's an allllll-day dealio, and you need not be in any hurry to leave after the race because parking and traffic are awful. Even though I live about 25 minutes from the track, I'd like to go and camp one year. The campgrounds look fun. This year, they moved the motorcycle parking down the road about 3/4 of a mile in the bar-ditch. Used to be right smack in front of the track on pavement. Motorcycles have an advantage getting around up there, if you survive the traffic getting there. The new m/c parking is teh succ though. I can't imagine what a mess it'd be if it rained.

Ebay can be your friend for tix to the night race.

#24 baby

[oilmud]

They said on sirrius radio that campers started showing up last Tues.

GO TONY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[oumartin]

I was huge Tony fan until they sent him to anger managment

[oilmud]

I was huge Tony fan until they sent him to anger managment

Some reporter said Tony has 10 personalities, 7 of them are really good and the other 3 want to punch you in the face.


Go Smoke.:texan:

[Sooner24]

Was the girl that said "Gentlemen start your engines" Ward or Jeffs wife?

[Sooner24]

I can already feel the rumble and smell the fumes.

[oumartin]

she talked like Ward!

[SelmaBamaFan]

Ima watch this too I reckon.

[Sooner24]

she talked like Ward!


Did you know Ward bit off half his tongue in a go kart accident when he was a kid?

[Rogue]

It's like the "Official Bristol Thread"

Go Smoke!

[Sooner24]

Ima watch this too I reckon.


Git ya a biggo bowla grits and git reddy to watch.

[Rogue]

Christmas time the do "Speedway in Lights." You get to drive through the drag area and end up taking a lap around the track. Several times I've ridden up there on my motorcyle and could have gotten in for a lap. One of these days the temptation will overcome me.

What a tease on the start!

[Sooner24]

Tonight is the night Jr gets back in it or he's all the way out.

[oumartin]

oh was that insensitive? my bad.

[oilmud]

over/under on dei blowed up motors?

[Rogue]

Raining here, hope it doesn't get wet up there.

There's gonna be some hellacious wrecks with 'em racing 3 wide tonight.

[Rogue]

over/under on dei blowed up motors?
Not tonight, their short track setup is better.

[SelmaBamaFan]

LETS GO MONTOYA!!!!

[Rogue]

I think the first wreck last night was lap 15.

[Sooner24]

oh was that insensitive? my bad.


Not at all.

We make fun of the way Ward talks all the time. :D

[Rogue]

LETS GO MONTOYA!!!!
Last night he made lots of passes taking a high line.
And 'bump 'n run' is definitely his style. :D

[Sooner24]

Here Jeff you lost this.

[oumartin]

I dont' like they are sayin' theres not gonna be alot of bumpin'

[oilmud]

*yawn*

[Newbomb Turk]

Is teh awesome.


sure is.

I've been cooking, but now I'm settling in to watch this.

[Rogue]

What was that about, having to take the sponsor off the car and unis?

[oumartin]

I wouldn't mind seeing Jeff B. win this one.
I felt he got the shaft at rousch

[SelmaBamaFan]

DAMN COMMERCIALS!!!

[SelmaBamaFan]

God I hope Gordon doesnt win...

[Rogue]

"Like a knife fight in a closet."

[Newbomb Turk]

"Like a knife fight in a closet."

speaking of knife fights, I had to drive through eastern OKC this morning and afternoon. "car don't fail me now".

[oumartin]

How dare you say that about Jeff Gordon! I outta

[Newbomb Turk]

How dare you say that about Jeff Gordon! I outta

you like Jeff Gordon?

perfect.


:D

[Rogue]

Drivers I like to see do well:
Stewart
Kenseth
Harvick
Kyle Busch
Montoya
Edwards
Hamlin
Jr.

Drivers I'd like to see crash right now:
Gordon
Kurt Busch

[Newbomb Turk]

The only thing I don't like about this race is you can't tell who is in 1st place and who is in 31st place...other than the thingy scrolling across the top of the screen.

[Rogue]

That's worse being there live. Unlike the huge tracks though, once they drive by, they're right back around and in front of you again.

[Newbomb Turk]

Drivers I like to see do well:
Stewart -YES
Kenseth -YES
Harvick - YES
Kyle Busch - YES
Montoya - NO
Edwards - NO
Hamlin - YES
Jr. - YES

Drivers I'd like to see crash right now:
Gordon - YES
Kurt Busch - YES

for the most part, I agree.

[Rogue]

I can't believe there's no wrecks yet.

[oumartin]

Jeff Gordon-Yes
Kyle Bush-Yes
Kurt Bush-Since he's in the 2 car Yes

Kenseth-NO
Stewart-Not any more

[Rogue]

It's raining pretty good here now. I really hope it misses BMS altogether.
Beer break!

[Newbomb Turk]

Jeff Gordon-Yes
Kyle Bush-Yes
Kurt Bush-Since he's in the 2 car Yes

Kenseth-NO
Stewart-Not any more

after you runt Kelvin off I didn't think I could hate you any more, but you completely redemed yourself!

;)
:D

[Newbomb Turk]

Beer break!

oh well, if you insist.

[oumartin]

oh and I wanna see Jimmy Johnson wreck every week..

Harvick is okay
and Jeff Burton too

[Rogue]

I have a cool bet with 2 guys at work.
I have Tony, they have Gordon and JJ. Each week, the 2 guys that get beat give the winner $5. If he wins the race outright it's $10. Makes every race interesting...until your driver crashes.

[Rogue]

I like Montoya's style. Last night they interviewed a bunch of fans that thought he wasn't respecting the seniority of the other drivers, shouldn't be so aggressive while he's new, yadda yadda. He's out there to try to win every week.

[VeeJay]

I lucked myself into tickets to the '92 night race. I think Darryl Waltrip won that one. Was one of my all-time favorite NASCAR races. And I've been to many.

[Newbomb Turk]

I'm spekin all you bastages.

[Rogue]

WTF!?

Green flag pits at Bristol?

[Rogue]

That's more like it.

[oilmud]

I just signed up for trackpass. lol.

[Newbomb Turk]

you know, I'm not much of a "see it live" guy. I've been to NFL, NBA, MLB, OU Football, OU Basketball etc... It's kinda cool, but I really don't get off on fighting a bunch of people and traffic to see the real deal.

I've never been to a NASCAR event, but I'd love to see the Bristol night race.

[Newbomb Turk]

that 24 is gettin in right now.

[Rogue]

It's a good crowd at Bristol. I've seen more rude, pushy, aggressive and obnoxious crowds at the movie theaters.

[Rogue]

Stewart's in 15th.

[Rogue]

Kahne is my answer to the "who has the best chance to win their first race this year tonight." He was on fire last night.

[Sooner24]

26 cars on the lead lap.

[Newbomb Turk]

well, since this race had a while to go, I'm going to the patio for some drunkytown time with the wife. Should be back for the last 100 laps or so.

[Rogue]

Harvick bumps Montoya and runds on by. Montoya catches him and passes on the high side.

[Sooner24]

23 cars

[Sooner24]

22 cars

[Rogue]

Hamlin's car goes up in smoke.

[phead903]

the company I work for has a suite there this weekend and all of the gearheads at our office were trying like hell to talk their way into a ticket this weekend. We did take 40 or so customers...the way everyone talks, the Bristol and Talladega races are the rowdiest...

[Sooner24]

23 cars on the lead lap. Jamie McMurray is the lucky dog.

[VeeJay]

The makeshift campground outside the track in '92 was quite rowdy.

[Sooner24]

Caution

[oumartin]

Jimmy Johnson causing yet another wreck

[oilmud]

cautions breed cautions

[Sooner24]

You were there before they expanded the track.

[Sooner24]

Gordon is sliding backwards.

[Newbomb Turk]

beer run for me.

carry on.

:)

[Rogue]

It's about to get interesting.

[Rogue]

MW isn't giving an inch.

I think the cars look cool with chrome rims.

[Newbomb Turk]

yous guys suck at this race thread since I left.

[oumartin]

well i am curious if that caution didn't screw over J.Gordon. he just exited pit lane when they threw it

[Newbomb Turk]

I have no idea.

Nice avatar.

[oilmud]

j gordon 1 lap down

[oumartin]

[Newbomb Turk]

thanks
oh no, thank you.

[Sooner24]

Caution!!!

[oilmud]

24 is lucky dawg

[oumartin]

thank goodness gordon got the lucky pass. that man has had a run of bad luck.

[Newbomb Turk]

beer run.

69 laps to go. :hot:

[Rogue]

Stewart's runnin' 7th.

[Newbomb Turk]

99 pwns.

everybody else running for 2nd.

[oumartin]

I turned it after my driver got hung up on pit row

[Rogue]

Edwards

[Newbomb Turk]

darn it - missed the end, but I guess it wasn't anything unexpected.

[VeeJay]

I think the campground is probably rockin' right now.

[Whet]

Tony finished 4th - moved up to 2nd in the Driver's Points.

Denny "blowd' up", dropped to 3rd in the standings.

[GrapevineSooner]

I didn't think last year's night race could have made for a more drama-less race.

I was wrong.

And very disappointed.

Are you sure we weren't racing on a downforce track where one or two guys hit on their setup and the other cars just simply play a game of follow-the-leader?

[Whet]

David Poole, from the Charlotte Observer and Sirius, compares the new Bristol with a Michigan race. He is supposed to discuss his reasoning tomorrow morning on Sirius.

[Sooner24]

It was a very atypical for Bristol, that's for sure.
