2017 Nascar Thread

Thanks for correcting my spelling. I am in my garage drinking so I am good with it. You really have a hard on for your boy so enjoy that. I will hit you up when the inevitable happens. Take care.

 

1. I don't pull for Joey, not my type, but he is fun to watch when he contends for a win

2. Do you honestly, honestly...think that Joey had any intention of wrecking Kyle for 3rd place on the last lap of that Las Vegas race?!

3.If Kyle wrecks Joey on purpose at any point this season, Kyle will get the same in return. Kyle talks a lot of shit but he knows if he retaliated on track, Joey will get him when it matters most so, no, I dont think Kyle will retaliate unless it's for a win, in which case, is ok, because Joey does that too.

 

Lol

 

What part of VA are you from? That's where I am from also. Grew up at Richmond, Rockingham, Martinsville and South Boston. Hell when Ward drove for AG Dillard I used to help them unload the cars Ward wrecked every Sunday in the tiny 3 bay garage they called a shop. I miss that area.

 

I'm not from VA, lived here the last 8 years, grew up in SC.

 

Shit dude perhaps you should return to SC.

 

For what?

 

Perhaps a dick head reunion.

 

So you're calling me a dickhead because of your love for Kyle Busch? This shit is hilarious. You Kyle fans really take the cake hahaha

 

You guys realize it's ok to watch NASCAR and not Kyle Busch right?

 

As previously stated. Not a Kyle fan. Me calling you a dick head is based purely on your own actions.

 

Actions of nonfavoritism? Or just correcting your spelling?

 

Okay man. I misspelled a word on my tablet in my garage. Congrats, shoot me your address so I can present you a trophy. You clearly have a favorite here so I am done fucking with you. Jesus its a forum man. Relax!! I didn't call you out. I posted my opinion, you struggled to comprehend that it differed from your own. Hence the last 20 min of my life. Take care.

 

I mentioned earlier trying to enjoy this rivalry, but Kyle is just so insufferable, I just can't get into it. He's trying so hard with all the "Rowdy" strutting, but it's just so vapid. With Geoff and Dale, both guys were just at the top of their game, they egged each other on and it was part of the show. With Dale & Rusty, I just wanted somebody to shut that #3 car down. I didn't even care for Rusty. He was the premier Whiner at the time. Dale nearly killed rusty before that one was over. Dale softened with time and entered some strange elder sainthood in his later years. Many younger fans think of him as this great, benevolent hero, when in reality, he was the sport's top villain for more than a decade. That car was black for a reason. NASCAR hyped him up to sell tickets and ad space. Jeff Gordon came along in a car so far at the other end of the spectrum of design and was the new Savior. There's a narrative at work, just like wrestling. There are always roles to be filled in Sports-Entertainment: Hero vs. Villain, Champ vs. Challenger, Juggernaut vs. Underdog (the one that appeals most to me). Kyle vs. Joey is none of these narratives. It's just Goofus vs. Doofus.

 

Haha, I'm just getting a feel of why you were defending Kyle like it was Joeys fault, that's all. It wasn't his fault at all if you know NASCAR (imo) which is why I was questioning you. If you have actual valid points as to why it was Joeys fault I'll listen. But "getting what's coming to him" isn't one and it lacks substance.

Edit: my point here is you have no substance to add to a discussion other than you don't like PENSKE cars, so please, step aside.

 

Must remember: In Toyota fanboy forum. When Kyle stops winning, Truex will be the new fav. Gotta have a standby when your #1 isn't on top anymore.

 

But truex didn't make the final four last year

 

^^THIS. I know a truck forum isn't the best place for civil NASCAR discourse, but damn, I'd love a good talk about the sport without thumb-bursts of emotion without any actual data.

Speaking of data, Joey owned up to his mistake last weekend. He called Kyle, met face to face with him and apologized about what happened on track. Kyle asked him for computer data verifying Joey lifted to try to save the car, Joey produced that data, Kyle did not accept that data and will continue to hold a grudge and be his own worst enemy like he's been for the past decade+. Meanwhile, Kyle is at the track doing this "I know nothing, I am merely a messenger" schtick with a smirk on his face. At least Dale was a relatable villain. Kyle is just that kid who always had a problem waiting in line at the water fountain after recess.

Most of these hooligans never follow up on NASCAR after a race and just spew emotion on here until the next race. I understand this probably isn't the place for civil and logical discussion about this sport but oh well, I'll give it the ole college try. @MadDaddy is someone I would watch thousands of races with because he makes logical and valid points on a lot of topics that I may not agree with but I'll listen.
