Neowin's Official NASCAR Pick 'Em


Recommended Posts

Haha, yeah, it's funny how everything Jimmie does is someone else's fault.

Tony always gets blamed because of his past indisgressions, too. =\

As for JB, I'm looking more forward to Darlington (AKA Jeffington) ;)

/\ Exactly....Tony Stewart is very old school in the way he drive a race car...Dale Sr. did the same stuff and all the blowhards were like "THATS RACIN!!!!!"....Now that a younger guy who does the the same stuff he gets all this blame. Tony Stewart is an awsome driver...he's probably the most talented too. Considering he's won on every level (Bandits, Midgets, Motorcross, Indy, NASCAR, and more). No other NASCAR driver has won as many races in other circuits as Stew has.

anyways....haha yea I think Jeff Burton is due for a win, I have a feeling he's going to be at the front of this weeks race...I miss seeing Ward on TV talking like that hounddog from the cartoons. :rofl: He does alot of local commercials around here or "Schewels Furniture" but it's not the same as him yappin on national television. :)

Yeah, Tony Stewart is by far the most talented driver in probably the world right now.

I miss Ward, too.  The only time we see him is on an outdoor channel =\

Ward might be back next year. Open rides right now are #2, possibly #12, #6, #40, #42?, #43?, maybe the #21, #88. Well, Rusty's and Mark's cars are open for sure. I hope one of them win the championship.

Mark Martin has been my favorite driver since 1989, and I've always like Rusty partially cause he doesn't really like Jeffy Gordon. :laugh: Most people don't know what happened to Martin in 1990. He lost the championship by -26. In the third race of the year at Richmond, Nascar found some illegal spacer or maybe it was the carb. but they gave him 10th place points which was a -46 loss. The thing that really sucks is other drivers, *Rusty for sure was caught for the same and didn't get penalized.

i thought the first big wreck was dale JRs fault. looks 100% that way to me

I think it was in this order

1. Scott Riggs fault- the hell was he doing up their anyway??

2. JJ and his spotter- hello, the spotter is supose to say "3 wide, stay low"

3. Jr. - a little impatient?

4. Mike Wallace- Next time turn into JJ, spin him and save yourself lol

I don't think Jr. even made enough contact in the first wreck to turn anyone around.

And I can see Ward in the 42 when McMurray moves to the 40. I hear Sterling Marlin will only move to a car that has a hard liquor sponsor or is able to, and that basically screams the RCR 07. Marlin + Burton + Harvick would be neat. Even cooler would be throwing Ward into the 33 and running fulltime. I always wanted Ward and Jeff as teammates.

The way I saw the first wreck (after all the replays)...It's looked like Jr was a bit impatient. He was all over whoever it was in front of him getting him loose in the middle of the pack. It's really hard to put the blame on any one driver for that wreck, but I would say most of it falls with Jr and his impatients to get to the front of the pack.

Hell yea...I'd love to see Jeff and Ward run together. That could be a sick team since they've raced with one another since childhood and know the other so well. I don't know why nobody has tried that before.

Yo man...did you see what junior said about the wreck? He was calling Jimmy Johnson an "idiot" or something. I forget the whole quote but he was basically putting all the blame on johnson. I guess it can just be chalked up to hard racing but they don't seem to be letting it go.

Well....Today my bad luck continues....For some reason this year I'm picking everyone who blows tires, engines, and wrecks. ohhhhh well. Decent race though....with Stew did better, but 10th isn't bad. I thought Burton had a chance until he had to pit, he must have been ****ed.

no doubt this should be a good stretch for him...I think I'm heading to the Richmond race. Thats a great place to watch one. Then off to Charlotte next forthe All-Star race :). Thats one of the best you can possibly go to...tons of action!

Go to a local short track. Less people. Cheaper. Sometimes more fun, but Richmond is a good track, it has more than one grove.  :)

yea dirt tracks are the best...haha i love getting all muddy and dirty as hell when I go to one. It is racing in it's purest form.

i might be going to bristol this year. anyone might go?

585919992[/snapback]

the night race?? I heard back in 2001 that tickets for that race was already sold out through 2006 :p unless you already have them.

As for the local race tracks, I quit my job at a local dirt track flipping burgers, to go to Slinger on sunday nights and because I didn't really work. I just would sneak off watch the races while getting paid. I might sign-up for the go-kart league/school at ChicagoIndoorRacing.com.

Maybe in a year or two when I'm in NC, I'll be able to get my own dirt track car. Probably buy my uncles 1982 Monte Carlo, to run :)

Yea unless you either know someone that has tickets to sell to you or you are planning on buying them from scalpers then Bristol is pretty much sold out for the rest of our lives :D

It's a great track...the best bet is to buy them at the track for a little higher price...you can normally find them pretty easy once your at the track. I'll probably be doing that this year for the night race. We'll have a brew or two if you do go! :yes:If your not old enough I'll just sneak them to ya :ninja:

haha nice...slap a huge engine in it and tear it up. That kind of racing isn't cheap to get into but you can make a good living doing it if your successful.

    • That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
