New name "THE CLOSER" or is still just "HAPPY"?

[Bobby Diehl]

After yesterdays drive from the rear (AGAIN) Kevin Harvick AKA "BUD MAN" showed that it isn't where you start it is where you finish. If you mowed your lawn rather than watch NASCAR you missed a good one. JR show his talent and Kyle showed his NEW KYLE style of POST RACE interviewing. Well it's on the SAYURDAY NIGHT under the lights of TEXAS. Can Harvick make it three in a row?????.... Be sure and set your DVR's when you head out to your local Short Track (remember they need you now more than ever). Then Sunday morning before Church turn on NASCAR's 1st Saturday Night of 9 this year. My money's is on "The HAPPY's, CLOSER, BUDMAN" in the #29 CHEVY again!!!!!!

Who the F cares? Nascar sucks

[oldtimer]

The Closer - Before yesterday the guy comes from behind to win a race and now he's the closer according to all the motor mouth NASCAR announcers! Give me a break with that. Now it’s all you’re going to hear each week!

David Pearson raced that way for years and never got that stupid name!

Talk about over sensationalizing!

i like to watch outlaw dirt cars better than nascar

whole lot more exciting than nascar but if i had of been earnhardtharvick would not have got buy me if i had not have one a race in 97 races

he was so shook up he was almost in tears he should have put the bumper to harvick ever body else would

[dd38]

Who cares also!!!!!!! Bobby, You have got to be working for NASCRAP the way you push all this CRAP.

[Bigbuck]

Maybe NASCAR sucks but who cares about a 3-4 car field, run out of concessions by intermission at NSS? Sorry, that's about the most boring shit I know of. why is it that way? I don't know, it's not my problem, no-one wants any opinions or advice. Just a few yrs ago I lived for local racing, now ive been there maybe 5 times in 3 yrs. now within a reasonable distance from my home it's a joke. So until they fix it, (The local owners) I'll watch NASCAR when they're on at night, and believe it or not it hurts me to say this.

That's true, but remember, lots of others would of put the bumper to Earnhardt. Good clean racing, all around. Was good to see Earnhardt and Kyle smiling and shaking hands also.

Man how can you not LOVE IT!!!!! It the GREATEST RACING on the Planet!!!

You must not be watching NASCAR because it has the BEST dang Drivers in the WORLD (EX-F1, INDY CAR, Moto Cross, Go-Carters, World Sedans, Road Racing, Drag Racing, Sprint Cars, FASTRUCKS, Heck most of them came from our on SHORT TRACKs). It is the TOP Ring of the Ladder. It's Motor Sports GREATEST DRAMA every week. Teams that make or break the DRIVERS results. I can't believe what the heck you would watch that could possibly have more EXCITMENT than NASCAR!!!! I would hate to be your spouse. Mow the lawn and bitch about everything else in your own world. Like it or not IT"S the NUMBER 1 Sport in AMERICA. You must be unAmerican....... Get over it. I enjoying the BEST of the BEST. Go NASCAR GOoooooo........

Bobby....

Hey man....I know of some great programs up there in Hillsborough to help you deal with whatever hallucinogenic you must be addicted to. It's clear that you need some help. These drug induced rants are getting worse. Please seek some help. If not for us, man, think of the students whob lifes you are infecting eech an evry Day.

BEST dang drivers in the WORLD? I'd settle for best in our own country but I'll not hold my breath, thank you. And I'd give anything to see a list of all these TOP RUNG OF THE LADDER boys' resumes posted along with how much their daddies or uncles paid for their rides printed on the CRAPCAR website.
Drama....there's more drama here on this message board than in one of those Sunday Snoozefests. At least mowing the lawn keeps you awake AND offers you the ability to see some passing.......(I live on a busy street.)

Here's a challenge for you: find any credible (and that means any NASCAR generated statistic is disqualified) chart or storyline that touts Sprint Cup racing as the #1 Sport in AMERICA and I will print this page and eat it for dinner. Now remember, if you wanna try and count all the tracks(and there aren't too many anymore) that call themselves "NASCAR Sanctioned Tracks" for any type of statistical add on, then you must also count every semi pro, college, high school, little league, peewee league,etc, etc.....for every other sport in the country too. TV time is a bust too. I can turn the boob tube on almost every day and see a tennis or golf match. But try and find a race somewheres in those 1800 channels. Good luck.

Hate America?....naw. I love America. Are you trying to say that America stands for greed and apathy for it's constituents? Man, I sure hope not. But that's what you're doing when you mention them in the same sentence.

I'm an American. Come to think of it, that's probably why I can hate NASCAR so much.
Give me some real racing or give me.....well....give me boring ass NASCAR. Which has the same stench as death. How long do you think they (the France's) can survive with all those empty seats each week? Especially at all those idiotic 2.5 mile wastelands they call racetracks.
There's an award winning business plan for ya: Let's take away these historic race dates from some historic race tracks that were the backbone of our sport AND that also historically sold out every event and we'll give them to ANOTHER track where you can't even see the racecars (except when they pass in front of you) . Don't worry, people will come just for the NASCAR EXPERIENCE. We'll also charge them triple of what they were paying and insist that they purchase tickets for each and every race in every series to insure they get their same seat. (which we've made about 20% smaller so they won't want to sit down very long insuring a few trips to our unreasonably priced concession stands).
Our stockholders won't have to worry because most of them are foreign which is why we are implementing a free pass into any race for any driver who has entered an F-1., Indycar, soap box racer, go kart, or motorcycle event AND has paid the minimum 2 million dollar buy-in fee.


Best in the World? Drama-inducing?......TOP RING???(sic)

Sadly....no.

Nascar

i enjoy watching the last 10 laps every week. thats about it. as for going to a race... everyone should go once... just the atmosphere and excitement is fun... BUTT!!! thats pretty much most of the crowd will see. the butts of the fans in front of you!
the cost is astounding ! i do love racing and i have fun being a NASCAR fan but theres soooooo much room for improvement.
Bobby has every right to say how he feels and so do the rest of us. its a message board for all kinds of opinions but i dont think insults are necessary.
Thats my opinion. ;-) i am gonna duck now so i dont get hit with rotten tomatoes... ;-) remember, there are millions of people who attend and watch NASCAR races so that tells me NASCAR is still at the top of the sports popularity charts.

[Bobby Diehl]

Just got to watch the Camper Worlds race from Martinsville.

WOW! Just got a chance to watch the DVR of the Martinsville Camper Worlds Race. I heard who won and that there was something that happened at the end with Kyle Bush. When I turn it on I thought I would fast forward, but then I thought it migth be worth watching the whole Race. Man I am glad I didn't FF. The Race was a great NASCAR Short Track style race. It had everything , but a Green, White , Checker. The pre-race show had Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick putting on a clinic. Man it was everything BUT....
Don't want to spoil it if you can catch a rerun it's well worth the time. GREAT RACING. They Spot Light shined on alomost everyone. Rick Carmichael, Joie Coulter both got great TV time. Go Florida Racers Go.... So if you get a chance to watch the rerun DO IT!!!!

The Camping World Series is off till Nashville in a couple weeks. Guess we will only have the NASCAR SPRINT CUP "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE from TEXAS, and the Nation Wide on Friday Night. I bet there are a bunch of the CUP BOY's run the Nation Wide Race. My bet is on "THE HAPPY CLOSUE BUDMAN HARVICK" for both!!!! Who's your's???.....
