Because it is statistically rare. Which isnt an indication that it affects performance but how infrequently the opportunity even presents itself.
Perhaps. But the case of an Indycar driver whose birthday is in May could get around that.

I'm sorry, but why in the hell does anyone care about someone winning a race on their birthday? Unless this is for trivia and fun it is totally pointless.

Based on your posts in this thread I imagine you say that to them as you are being handcuffed by the police.So what's wrong with fun? (I find I keep saying that to women.)
Posted 11 March 2013 - 01:37
You'd get better results if you picked something like "how often do drivers win when they have special paintjobs".

What, like he's suddenly going to be really quick or really slow if his birthday falls on a practice day?

But freakin hilarious...So by your reasoning it would be valid to measure the performance of drivers during races that occur during the time of a full moon or during the races that are close to the time their wives/girlfriends are on their period. Ridiculous.

Oh dear, mental images of a red flag flying in that race!But freakin hilarious...
Quick, someone see if there is a race scheduled this year on PSPs B-day and co-incides with a full moon and her period.
The possibilities are endless.

Wow Mr Salty, someone got out of bed the wrong side.
Many sports, especially US based ones lend themselves to statistical analysis, while I think this particular item doesn't need too much studying - it's hardly RISP or 3rd down conversions inside the red zone territory - it seems quite unnecessary to resort to personal insults over it.
Let Seth go away and see what he can find for a subject that may just interest him, if you're not interested I suggest that you do indeed follow your own announcement and see us all in the Bristol thread.

Checks and it's actually 2 weeks tomorrow (March 25th)... just watch out if Fontana suffers a rain delay!
The moon is full on March 27th......
Uh oh.

Good job to hold him off there. I liked hearing all that radio chatter there.

Kenseth has been carrying Home Depot on his tail for the season.He hasn't been DeWalt for many years. That's the Ambrose-Petty car. Hell Kenseth isn't even driving the old DeWalt car.
But under normal circumstances Kenseth would have been in a Huskey/Home Depot car, which I'm sure Kobalt/Lowes would have loved...

Fresh off her gritty 33rd-place, six-lap-down performance and sitting an impressive 30th place in the points standings, Danica Patrick leads the NASCAR field into the mountains of Bristol, Tennessee. Tune in Sunday, ON FOX!Yeah what happened? We seriously need a DANICA UPDATE!!

Hardly irrelevant that you hate DW. The amount of hatred the avatar would receive from others would beat any pony.Hey man, I don't hate DW! I hope that isn't how my posts about him and the commentary come off. I just get a kick out of how I zone out for a while during Nascar races, and then things like "He did that turkey walk up the hill there in turn 5" bring me back to reality. It's not hate, more like bemusement.

She was in the battle for the lead in the closing laps.
Posted 11 March 2013 - 21:09
Danica ultimatelly had the power to decide the winner in Vegas. As a backmarker, she could have wrecked Kenseth or Kahne at will, in the closing laps.battle for the 6th lap down you mean ?
Anyway, someone had an interesting observation: Logano was nowhere to be seen yesterday, meanwhile Kenseth wins in only his 3rd race in the #20
Do we think coach made a good move there ?
Or is Penske putting all his eggs in a Keselowski shaped basket ?
Posted 11 March 2013 - 21:10
It does seem that Kes is the main focus, but... wasn't that as well last year?Or is Penske putting all his eggs in a Keselowski shaped basket ?

That's the thing, for loonies like me, it's a nice divertimento to calculate how often a driver will win on his birthday. I have to admit, I calculated it yesterday night right before going to bedI'm sorry, but why in the hell does anyone care about someone winning a race on their birthday? Unless this is for trivia and fun it is totally pointless.

Considering Kahne being the dominant car, Johnson's Daytona win, and Jr's best start, looks like 2007 again with Hendrick during a new car transition.

Did you ever pick out a Jeff Gordon avatar-to-be?
Posted 12 March 2013 - 00:01
Tell that to Jeff Gordon. I guess its his turn to be the odd man out. For as long as Hendrick has had 4 cars, I can't recall a time where all 4 ran well. It's usually 3 with the 4th car struggling somewhere midpack. I'm sure there's an army of people hoping JJ's turn is coming up soon

A year and a half. . .he replaced Jerry Nadeau after that career-ending wreck at Richmond practice.Yeah, was traditionally the #25 that was constantly struggling with Schrader, Craven, didn't Nemecheck have it for a year or two?
