NASCAR Cup - Round 20 Indianapolis

fieldodreams79 · 22 Jul 2009, 12:15 (Ref:2506030)

The BRICKYARD 400 (Allstate)
47 teams entered....
Entry List
US Broadcast Schedule (includes support series)

NASCAR and Goodyear seem to think they have the tire issues that made for an awful boring silly stupid race last year have been solved.

Smoke(audio) and JeffeeG agree.

i'll believe it when i see it.

A very special and evocative paint scheme for Juan Pablo this weekend.

#64, Mike Wallace has withdrawn from the event.

I love JPM's paint scheme. Reminds me not only of JPM's days in CART, but alos of Zanardi and Vasser...all three made that series a lot of fun to watch.

This could be the last Brickyard 400, there are a lot of rumors going around about that. We'll see. Everyone's been dissing the race, but I can think of quite a few races at IMS that I really enjoyed. People seem to only remember 2008, but I sure remember Stewart vs Harvick in 07, Labonte vs Wallace in 00, etc.

I just hope the tires work this time...

Was thinking the same...

Hoping for an Ambrose top 10 in the "#47 Little Debbie Toyota Camry"

i sure remember Awesome Bill winning over Rusty a few years back!
there were some decent IROC races there too, but it really doesn't make for "great" stockcar races. it's a big race b/c of where it is...if they don't come back, i won't cry.

there has always been the die hard openwheelers out there that say stockcars should not race at Indy, for their reasons. don't blame them; seems since the first 400, OW racing has gone downhill ever since...coincidence??

nice colors, but can he win it? i give him another top 5 finish, but i don't think you can beat against ANY Hendrick car ('cept the 88).

i'll beat on someone from Indiana or Arkansas winning....take your pick

rustyfan · 23 Jul 2009, 13:45 (Ref:2506637)

I'm looking forward to seeing the double file restarts in effect at the Brickyard. Hopefully they'll provide some fireworks towards the end of the race like they did at ChicagoLand.

Jacques Rabbit · 23 Jul 2009, 14:32 (Ref:2506660)

I'd also like to see another top ten for Ambrose...I'm really enjoying how well he's run this year. Great guy. Anyone who wears a bucket hat deserves to be successful.

Double file restarts should help. They did at some other traditionally dull tracks like Chicago and Pocono (which wasn't traditionally dull until shifting went away).

If JPM can keep up his consistent top ten finishes, he could end up pretty high in points with the Chase system, maybe even top five if he really runs well.

Biggest joke of a team. Worse than the S&Pers. Iv'e never heard of a team that withdraws at every oppertunity, whether for a rainout to get another team in or whatever.

fieldodreams79 · 24 Jul 2009, 19:03 (Ref:2507293)

PRACTICE #1 currently underway with Greg Bifle, JPM and Awesome Bill topping the charts as Derrick Cope and John Andretti are at the bottom.

Live Timing

MJ_N_09 · 24 Jul 2009, 22:29 (Ref:2507386)

BTW. Carter (08) has bought the ex Mayfield cars.

Also, they're definitely going to need a Past Champion's Provisional to get in.

fieldodreams79 · 25 Jul 2009, 02:39 (Ref:2507454)

doesn't look like the #21 will need a provisional to get in....
mark m and jpm the 2 quickest in 2nd practice

fieldodreams79 · 25 Jul 2009, 18:47 (Ref:2507918)

after 4 hour rain delay, q'ing is under way with mark m and JPM at the top of the charts so far....about 25 cars left to go.

That intro of sorts, narrated by "Deadliest Catch" Mike Rowe, was simply awesome.

Don't anyone say anything about that incident, I will flip ****. Already have on my mother.

F**k you Jimmie Johnson. You got lucky.

MJ_N_09 · 26 Jul 2009, 21:21 (Ref:2508651)

I'm not gonna lie. That is hard to believe that He was over the speed limit In BOTH sectors.

Matt · 26 Jul 2009, 21:23 (Ref:2508655)

It's because NASCAR doesn't want someone running away with a ****ing race, so they make a blatantly fake call, so they get a 'popular' driver to win, and make a close finish, ****ing piece of **** officials.

MJ_N_09 · 26 Jul 2009, 21:26 (Ref:2508657)

Just remember Regan Smith last year...yeah...

Uh...judging by the people I met, Jimmie isn't popular. Still, at least Montoya is in the chase.

Steevp · 26 Jul 2009, 21:28 (Ref:2508659)

If ever I saw a fix.

I was starting to be a fan of Nacar, but what's the point?

Matt · 26 Jul 2009, 21:29 (Ref:2508660)

Still is a more popular driver than JPM. Most of the public knows who he is, if they said that JPM won, most would be like "who?"

F**K, I really wanted action to make that god damn ****ing car.
