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.

    • Good, because the nonstop chattering from the voices in her head made me quit the second game.
    • This new cabinet design lets you run AMD, Intel, and Nvidia PCs inside one case by Sayan Sen At Computex 2026 earlier this month, AMD announced a couple of new X3D processors for both sockets AM4 and AM5 as it confirmed the support extension of the latter till 2029. And although Intel didn't unveil any new desktop chips, the company's Core Ultra 200S Plus series is relatively new too. Let's say though that you want the best of both worlds simultaneously, and instead of running two different systems, you can have both running together side-by-side, or rather on top of one another. That's exactly what Thermaltake's CAPO X dual system is made for doing. While it's not exactly mandatory to run AMD with Intel, or vice versa, you get the idea. As you can see in the render above, it is essentially like a double-decker PC case that is capable of holding two microATX (mATX) motherboards. Even running just one discrete graphics card in a PC can get toasty, so you may be wondering how well the cooling is designed on the CAPO X, Thermaltake has confirmed, as is evident from the marketing promo image above, that the case supports up to two 360 mm AIO liquid coolers. 420mm is not supported. In total there is room for 13 120mm case fans. In terms of I/O (input/output) options for the two systems, there are naturally two places for those ports, one at the top and one at the very bottom of the chassis in the front panel. In terms of use cases, there are many possibilities. Thermaltake itself, for example, highlights how one system can be your main PC while the other could be the AI agent PC. Another example given is how it can be used to stream and game simultaneously with dedicated systems instead of hogging one with the entire load. Nothing regarding pricing or availability was said.

    • There might be some passive design improvements (cooling, etc), but I doubt they'd change the core performance spec of the hardware mid-generation when they've already got a new console in development.
    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
