24 Aug.
This weekend pretty much confirms it. Bristol, one of our
usual favorites, didn't find the Doob catching the finish of
either event. We tried and failed. Maybe with the chase coming up, we
might get a little more excited? Either that or we will be giving up on
NASCAR all together?
20 Aug.
We're
beginning to wonder if we've lost the plot or if we've just become bored
as hell with all things NASCAR. We flipped over to watch some motorcycle
action on SPEED and forgot to switch back. How sad is that?
11 Aug.
Yeah, we watched. Anytime you put big pig stock cars on a
road course, it's worth watching. Ambrose winning in NNS was awesome as
well as the huge cock up in Cup with only 9 laps to go. The Shrubster
somehow manages to win another race. We've had enough of that but don't
think it's about to be over anytime soon.
8-8-08.
With two
good road racing events this weekend, we'll be checking it out and
looking for another fantastic event like last week's Montreal but we
aren't holding our breath. At any rate, we'll have the headlines for you
so check back often.
HISTORY IS MADE!
Even though we are making a point of not giving a rat's ass
about Pocono later today, we did see the NNS race from Montreal where
they actually raced in the rain for the first time. It was the best
thing we've seen come out of the stock car world for a long time. We
believe that both Cup and NNS should always race in the rain on road
courses from now until forever.
Pocono?
Yeah, we're boycotting this week.
Well? We had the Allstate 400 on the tube but can hardly say we watched
much of it. What a farce! This was the worst race evar! What an insult
to the fans. We may not even watch Pocono next week as that's usually a
crappy race too but nothing can top what we saw today. What a disgrace!
Brickyard 400.
After a
week off, the big boys head to Indianapolis for the Brickyard 400 while
the NNS kids are off to ORP for a little Saturday evening action. We'll
be checking it out. You should too!
The Kup Kids are goofing off this weekend
and that's a good thing! With all the other great racing this weekend,
one more event would push us over the edge and would require double beer
and donuts. See you NASCAR peeps in a few days!
Chicagoland
and one
more time, Kyle Busch brings it home. In fact, he swept the weekend.
This kid is the hottest thing on the track these days and while he may
not be the fan favorite, he's putting it to his peers and that's always
interesting to see. Let's see how it works out for him once the chase
gets started but as of now, he's clearly got to be the favorite to take
the title?
Daytona
and the Diet Coke 400
was one we caught from the start and watched until the end. It was a
pretty darned good show, all things considered. Looks like this Saturday
night brings us another race but it is scheduled up against Indycar and
we have our priorities :-). Still, we should be able to tune in for the
end so woo hoo for that!
4 July. Happy 4th o'
July to all. We have to admit that good ole NASCAR hasn't been very high
on the radar this year. We did catch a little bit of everything last
weekend but not all of it and if we had to pick a highlight, it would be
Juan Pablo Montoya spinning the Shrub and admitting he did it on
purpose. Way to go JPM! So, as a long time fan, we'll be at least tuning
into the historic Firecracker 400, oops, the Diet Coke whatever this
weekend.
Caught most of the truck race and Cousin Carl's cheap ass bump pass
on Boyer in NNS. That kind of driving is chickenshit but since Dale Sr.
did it, it's okay, I guess. So it looks like The Shrub is a roadracer
now? Damn kid can't be stopped unless he's at the epicenter of a wreck.
-------JUNIOR!!--------
15 June.
Ok, KB's move in the truck race with Horneyday was pretty chickenshit
and totally unnecessary. Congrats to Joey Logano for his win in the
Nationwide series though. The Cup race is still on tap as of this update
so be sure to check back later to see what we have to bitch about!
6 June.
We're making amends and tuning into a nice little NCTS race from Texas
this evening. What's bad boy Rowdy Busch going to do tonight? We have no
idea but whatever it is, there will probably be some excitement and
swear words involved. This weekend has enough racing to make any
motorhead happy and we're kicking the whole thing off on the right foot!
Doobity!
Against good intentions, The Dube hangs thy head
in shame as we didn't actually see much of the Cup kids at Dover. Tuned
in to see the start, tuned back in to see the big cock up that took out
most of the favorites and tuned in to see everybody's anti-hero, The
Shrub, stick another feather in his hat. We conjectured over on the
forums that KB might be the next Jeff Gordon but Despain is calling him
the new Intimidator. Can't say we agree with that but love or hate him,
the kid's hot.
Up for today is the concrete track, the Monster
Mile, Dover. Caught most of the action in the Nationwide race yesterday
and a huge congrats goes out to Scott Speed for taking the win in NCTS.
We'll be back later with more comments from the peanut gallery but the
NASCAR boys have some competition for TV time today with Superbikes from
Utah and Indycar from Milwaukee. Good thing we have plenty of TVs going
here at DooberVille Central!
Kasey Kahne? Dude! Way to go winning the Coke 600 and the All-Star race
from Charlotte. The Shrub did his thing again in the Nationwide race and
regardless of what the Jr. Nation thinks, the boy is hot!
Big racing weekend including the Coca-Cola 600 from Charlotte. Shrub is
on the pole for this one but can he make it 600 miles without crashing
the field or having a mechanical? I'm saying no. Think I'm wrong? Come
one over to the forums and tell me I'm full of it.
Meh. The All-Star race was kind of a snoozer but pretty cool that Kasey
Kahne got the fan vote and won the damn thing. We'll be catching the big
Coke 600 after Indy on Sunday so come on down!
Its the big weekend for The Winston! Oops! I mean the NASCAR All-Star
Race. We're picking Jeff Gordon (to be the guy Kyle Busch takes out) for
the win. Hahahaa! I crack myself out sometimes! Come join up on the
forums and talk some NASCAR trash. It'll be fun!
The Shrub does it again! Is Kyle Busch the next Jeff Gordon? Come visit
this thread over on the boards and give us your opinion!
Off this weekend to another
historic track: Darlington,
the Lady in Black. Old fans probably know but do you know where that
came from? Come share your smarts over in our NASCAR forum. Heck with
making a link, just click the button up there on the right and scroll
down to Autoville!
Richmond-
What can we say? Kyle Busch is
either the best driver in NASCAR or the most hated? Which is it? Anyone
catch Dave Despain's "My Take" bit on sunday night? I was cracking up!
Let's hear what you have to say about it. Hop on over the the NASCAR
section on the
DooberVille Forums!
That was a heck of a NNS race
yesterday, eh? I thought Franchitti was hurt worse than he was (broken
ankle). The big show is just getting underway and we'll be checking out
all the action from Talladega. Come on over to the
forums and post your comments.
An off weekend for the Cup boys and we got
to see a crashfest from Mexico City. It was painful to watch and how
the heck many times did Boris Said crash/spin anyway?
It's off to Talledega next weekend and on WindTunnel tonight, DW
confirmed his prediction of Junior for the win. Heck, Danica won,
Rahal won and a win from Junior would get even more press for
motorsports, which is a good thing no matter what the venue or
series
