Juan Hell Of A Ride

 

Firstly, thank you Juan Pablo for the memories and for getting all these fohrrinners to watch you turn left all these years.

You turned left with the best of 'em. Sometimes I liked it when you didn't turn left.

 

 

Moving On.

 

Race #2 brings us to the 1.058 mile New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

 

Fun Fact: - New Hampshire is known as the "Live Free Or Die" state, named in honor of local hometown hero, the late Bruce Willis.

They even have the motto on their licence plates...

 

 

Ironic, seeing as it's prisoners who make said licence plates.

Jeff Gordon nabbed the pole this time last year, but Denny Hamnin took the flag, starting from 32nd in the field.

Stellar drive. Still a bit of a prick though. 

The vast majority of turns Montoya made that race were left turns.

 

While in July of this year, Kawolski fell into the pole this year, and Vickers held on for the win. Kurt led the most laps. Montoya was impressive once again, only 1.74% of his directional changes were to the right.

 

Nationwide Is On The Slide

 

"I've been saying that for years."  - Dale Earnhardt Jr.

 

I must admit I've been more interested in just looking at the points total rather than watch Nationwide recently, what with the prawn grabbing all his prawn glory. 

 

Have we reached 5 eligible winners yet?

 

"But thank the Lord we are in Kentucky." - no-one, ever. 

 

Kentucky folk are deeply religious. Here is a statue of their God...

 

 

Fun Fact:  -An Original™ feature of the The Colonel statue featured said Colonel holding The Baby Jesus.

Said Jesus was to be reconstructed from chicken drumsticks. The artist insisted on leaving the delicious skin on, however after a town referendum it was deemed The Holy Child "looked too brown" for the townsfolk's liking with said skin. 

 

Hence KFC Skinless Chicken™ was born.

The KFC Skinless Chicken™ Chicken Jesus™ was stolen 2 weeks after The Artist's reveal.

No Cup guys in this one. Keep an eye out for young Ryan Blaney and Jeb Burton as they attempt to show what they can do, racing in something other than a vehicle designed to transport bales of hay.

 

Speaking of, no Truck series this weekend. 

Iowa was busy with their annual Girls Attempt to Put A Giant Corndog in Their Mouth While We Sit And Judge contest.

 

 

20 year-old Tiffany Bob Thornton was crowned 2012 Miss Cornhole, but in reality, it's one of those contests where everyone's a winner.

 

As you were. Enjoy your week!

We're on a Chase-way to hell... Chase-way to hell!

I don't like any of those bands, but here is something Lynard Skynard that is actually listenable.

 

 

I feel like

Not liking AC/DC should be punishable by law in the Commonwealth, Hope.

This thread proves once again that ceasing to make the weekly NASCAR thread is my single greatest contribution to this board.  Great job.

[Andrew Hope]

It actually seems like a more interesting Chase than in recent years. Let's just hope NASCAR got all their bossy **** out of the way at Richmond and can keep their hands to themselves now.

 

[gm914]

I know it's a bit early for a thread, so let's spend some time discussing how much this cat looks like Brad Keselowski.

 

 

[Andrew Hope]

The more I hear Keselowski talk, the less of a d-bag I think he is, but he still has that slightly bug-eyed look of someone who just got smacked on the head with a frying pan.

[Dilla]

What have we, what have we, what have we done to deserve this?

[pingu666]

I think he looks abit like a horse, and lolgango a giraffe.

wonder if he regretstelling roger to take joey.

I believe a man's time in his car in the parking lot of his job is his and only his. I'm simply giving you more time to do that disgusting thing that you do.

A long neck is useful for Logano, since he can see the green flag come out over top of the 30 cars in front of him on the restart.

 

I've always thought Allgaier looks a bit like a teddy bear:

 

[whitewaterMkII]

Not to be a putz or anything but it's:

Lynyrd Skynyrd

And just to really show how old I am the first time I saw them they opened for the Who on the 1973 Quadrophenia tour.

Yikes!

Oops fixed. 

[reynard883]

Saw a CART race in 93 at New Hamshire.......was fantastic.

[Prost1997T]

The Gen 6 car can produce some real snoozefests at times. Seems to be an aero thing...once the race settles down (particularly on the faster tracks) after a restart it becomes a single-file F1 style procession.

reynard883, I was lucky enough to be at that one too--a thrilling race, with Nigel, Emmo, and Tracy scrapping for the lead.

[SR388]

I hope Jeff Gordon wins.

late Bruce Willis   

You're totally right, my bad.

 

"The late, great Bruce Willis."

 

[Andrew Hope]

I know a girl in New Hampshire. She used to make me think of the old Dallara IndyCar just before the DW12, where she'd be a peach from certain angles but other times you just wanted to stare at your shoes every time you talk to her.

 

I was going to Wikipedia Bruce Willis to see if he is really dead but then I remembered I don't care about movies so I didn't. He's still alive then?

[gm914]

Yes as far as I am aware.

 

It must be said however, the word coming from certain crew I have worked with who have been on set with him is, he's not very punctual. 

A tardy man, you might say.

Pretty sure these guys are from Boston, which resides in another State.

[Red17]

With the biggest news going outside of the race for the moment and no trucks this week I relied on ARCA to make an excuse of a bump.

Should give us some excuse to keep near the top with all the FP action going on.

 

ARCA is racing at Kentuchy. Nothing new there but... what the heck is the camel doing in 7th place in the points?!

[Dmitriy_Guller]

Wow, Waltrip did wind up losing NAPA.  Now that one is real penalty for these scumbags.

[Ross Stonefeld]

Seriously? Not a vote for Steely Dan? With this group?

[Option1]

I tried to vote for "Steely Dan" but got a popup error saying "Must login as JP to vote for this choice."

 

So instead, I voted for "Contemporary Jazz, after piercing my eardrums with sharpened screwdrivers".  Shame the "after piercing..." bit didn't show up though.

I think too many people here like crepes.

 

Ryan Newman wins the pole. 

 

The rest- 

#5-Kahne 

#24-Gordon 

#78-Busch,

#56-Truex, Jr. 

#22-Logano

#27-Menard

#29-Harvick 

#20-Kenseht 

and #16-Biffle.

[John B]

Could be another start affected by weather, as storms are supposed to come through in the morning here. No lights like Chicago this time. Don't know why they don't start at 1:00 as 6:45 sunset leaves little margin for delay as it is, even though races tend to be quick here.

[gm914]

Could be the same in Kentucky, John. First practice was shortened due to rain. Here are the fastest- 

 

#33-Matt Crafton 

#3-Austin Dillon 

#2- Brian Scott 

#20-Brian Vickers 

#32-Kyle Larson 

#31-Justin Allgaier 

#12-Sam Hornish, Jr. 

#77-Parker Kligerman 

#22-Ryan Blaney and 

#18-Joey Coulter. 

 

Final practice was cancelled altogether.

 

Meanwhile in Iowa;  Putting the Hole back in Cornhole. 

 

The organizers of the 2013 Miss Cornhole contest were ecstatic to announce the surprise inclusion of Ms. Courtney Love as an entrant in this year's corndog swallowing competition. 

 

Event staff spent the day preparing for her arrival...

 

 

[Deluxx]

Holy crap that's huge.

 

Meanwhile, thanks ABC for picking up nascar and throwing it on ESPN6.

Your quoting either Dusty Springfield or ThePetShopBoys there....

It's a steel plated dildo used by the inhabitants of William Burroghs novel The Naked Lunch.

I only know them because George Carlin mentioned them in a joke once.

 

I don't really want to listen to anything George Carlin said is stupid.

Damn.....why didn't I think of this before. Maybe Juan can get Roger to let him drive the 22 before the end of the year to get an oval win.

That is an awesome quote SR ^ 

 

Never ended up watching the race last night, but well done to Blaney.

Pretty cool Top10 too. Will have to speak to Torrance this week.

NNS Top 10 at Kentucky-

#99-Alex Bowman

#54-Drew Herring

I don't think winning on an oval in N'wide is really the barrier he's trying to crack.
