OT:Who saw the 500? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CPNEJR · 02-16-2004, 09:52 PM

Hey I was just wondering who saw the race and rooted for Jr.?

He kicked butt!!!

weasel29gm · 02-16-2004, 09:58 PM

Caught most of it always nap a little !!!!!! The last 19 laps were the best!!!

CPNEJR · 02-16-2004, 10:22 PM

Thats 4 sure especialy when Jr. passed Tony on his own with no drafting help!!! and Tony with Kurt Busch

Thank god for them DEI engines

fast14 · 02-17-2004, 12:51 AM

Boy michael Waltrip took a ride didn't he?? He had trouble getting out of the car though. He sat upside down in the car for 10 minutes!!! Good thing it wasn't on fire. They finally turned the car back over like he had asked them to and he crawled right out. I sometimes wonder about all of these restraints that make it so much harder to get free of the car in a hurry.

724x4a/cchevy · 02-17-2004, 12:55 AM

I think its a pretty amazing coincidence that he won it on the exact day, one year after Sr. won the daytona 500. They are only the 3RD father/son combo to do this. The number 3 kinda gives me the chills.

Mrs72shadetree · 02-17-2004, 12:55 AM

I loved the race!! Jr rocked!!!Hated Micheal took that wild ride. Busch thought he was being smart by sticking with Tony but that didn't help him win any popularity contests. Jr took the busch race today too. hope this is just the beginning of a GREAT season for Jr.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 02-17-2004, 01:05 AM

Jr kick's a$$ hope full this will be the year for #8 and the championship..

CPNEJR · 02-17-2004, 06:17 PM

Jeez I didn't know that there were soo many race fans especially people rooting for Jr.!!!! Yeah that ws too bad about the Micheal Waltrip incedint!!!

Who thinks Jr. will be in the championship running? I would post a pole if I could now but oh well tell me what yas think and I'll keep a tally going

Pat

67chevemall · 02-17-2004, 06:38 PM

Go get Em Jr.!
God Bless Dale! It is still tooooooo bad!

67chevemall · 02-17-2004, 06:40 PM

On a brighter note!
Go Budweiser! Glug Glug Glug Glug!

wrathchild · 02-17-2004, 06:45 PM

WAY TO GO JOONYER !!!!!!!!!!!
Hoping he gets the championship too.....Kurt Busch doesn't have any friends out there anyways,Spencer shoulda made it so he could only talk thru a wired up jaw..Glad to see Mikey's ok and looking forward to"the Rock"..
Tony had some chose words about Andretti I thought were outta line especially for coming in 2nd at the 500..

CPNEJR · 02-17-2004, 06:52 PM

I think thats either 3-4 I'm not sure

I think that if his dad was still around today he would be sooo proud of his son for what took him 20 times to finally get!!!

Who saw that run in the old penske chevy at daytona? that musta been scary!!

Truckboy · 02-17-2004, 07:10 PM

I know, but I left the fold for many years. The last couple of years, I have found myself watching the races with more and more interest to the point that I now do not miss a race on Sunday. Congrats to Dale Jr. what a race. However, the conspiratist in me thinks there was something funky with the "Big One" It pretty much wiped out the Dodge contingent (Sorry used to be a huge King Richard fan back in the days of the blue and red 43 charger.)
Gotta love the racin'
Sorry so long, I guess this was a confession of sorts

oldtrucknut · 02-17-2004, 10:55 PM

I was there! The race kicked ass! I was in the back stretch right in the middle, could see everything but front stretch, but had a big ass tv to see that. I was in Daytona Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights and the party didn't stop! AWESOME trip!

theo goebel · 02-17-2004, 11:51 PM

GO TONY..........Damn........guess ya did not have enough this time, anyway it was heart warming to see Junior win it, or any GM driver!!!!!!!!.......that Kurt Busch.........yeah, I don't know he has been quite the villain.........didn't he often get into it with Mr. Excitement......last year.................

;theo

CPNEJR · 02-18-2004, 08:24 PM

Nice!!!!! wish I could go to that I've been to the busch race at NH last summer

that was cool

ROAD DOG · 02-18-2004, 10:25 PM

Who was that #22 rookie? ready to steal the show?

Truckboy · 02-19-2004, 11:05 AM

Wasn't it Wiley or something like that? Can't remember the name but he was driving a Dodge. They usually don't do to well in the early races. Seemed to be a pretty decent driver. Time will tell.

Gene · 02-19-2004, 01:48 PM

Scot Wimmer I believe drove that #22 car. You gotta remeber that Wawd Burton won the 500 in that #22 a few years back

Junior is just going to have an awesome year, the whole playoff thing is starting to grow on me, I think it'll get real exciting after the first 26 races.

Oh in case you didn't know it i'm a Joooooonyer fan

How many times did Junior get second before this year. I don't want to take anything away from Junior because he was definitely the car to beat (even Tony said so wrathchild

). 2nd at the 500 doesn't mean you suck, or that you dont know what you are talkin about. Tony made a point that can actually be justified if you look at Andretti's past. The same statement that 15+ drivers made about Todd Bodine last year, and everyone agreed with. I find it interesting that so many people hate Tony. I for one, like the fact that he tells it like it is. The fact is, he can drive, anything with 4 wheels. Of course NASCAR fans have always needed a villain

I'm not a Stuart fan, but Tony's words about Andretti were justified. Andretti couldn't drive ducks to water and I have no idea why DEI keeps him around.

CPNEJR · 02-19-2004, 06:08 PM

Well just for the record I believe that the 1 car is running a short season because it hasn't preformed up to their expectations

Oh well I tink it's better off that way

**lock** · 02-19-2004, 06:26 PM

Jr. pulled the Big E move on him. Gets on the back corner and slides right up next to him then he dropped down and jsut flew by him. It brought back some great memories seeing him drive like that!

CPNEJR · 02-19-2004, 06:45 PM

All us Jr. guys should put up the same avatar that clearly shows that we're Jr. fans

What do ya'll think?
