Nascar's off season thread.

I think that's part of what's cool about television now, is that, even tho' it does kind of cost an arm and a leg, a person CAN follow teams from all over the country, and never miss a game. I think too, nowadays families move a lot more because of job transfers than they used to, or if you're from a military family, you can move so much that you end up liking teams from places you've lived even tho' you don't live there any more.

Have you ever gotten to go to a Rangers, Yankees, or Mavs game?
I always thought going to a Seahawks game would be great fun-- their fans really get that stadium rockin' and rollin' at times.

Ive been to the mariners game when the Yankees are in town. I want to catch a devils game when they come over to play Vancouver. The Seahawks games are crazy. Never seen the Mavs live but I really want to before Dirk retires

Oh wow, yeah, seein' Devils vs. Canucks would be amazing!

One of my friends went and saw Dirk and the Mavs when they were playing vs. the Hornets. She was a big Dirk geek, and got a seat near the entrance to the locker room. After the game she leaned over the rail and yelled out his name and he reached up and slapped her hand. It was hilarious because she said it hurt so bad to get slapped hard on the hand by Dirk Nowitzki but she swore she would not wash that hand ever again. She has, thank goodness, but it was fun to hear her Dirk story.

I guess since the Sonics are now the Thunder, it's a long drive to a NBA game for you, huh. All the way down to Portland, yeah?

[Thumper 88]

Yeah about 5 hours

Kahne a faster than the track record at Charlotte testing

Are there any pictures of the new cars?

Are there any pictures of the new cars?

On the track?

Because almost every major driver has already revealed their cars for next year, if you didn't know.

Jayski.com has all the new schemes.

[HILLBILLYBLACK]

Jayski.com has all the new schemes.

Is Jayski an ESPN subsidiary or something now? What is their connection with Disney?

Really sad to see the #43 as a Ford. Just, WOW.
It's hard to take in the fact that there will be no Dodges
out there. Sad, sad, sad!

I'm really bummed to see they're not running the black and white paint scheme for Jimmie. That was my favorite of all time. That yellow
scheme is just hideous!

I do love how the cars look more like their stock counterparts though.

That burgundy AARP scheme on the 24 is just killin' me. *laughing* I know SO many people who became JG fans back in the day because of the CAR. And now THIS?! : P

Anyway, thanks for the heads up on the new schemes being up over at Jayski. That was fun.

[MarkieMark48]

Jayski ran their own site for years and espn bought the site a few years ago

[TheBigCheese21]

I think im retarded cause i couldn't find Kyle Busch's paint scheme on that site

[NC_RaiderFan5]

Nah, Kyle's hasn't been unveiled yet.

[HILLBILLYBLACK]

Hilariously, that yellow&black scheme on the #48 is growing on me. I just hope no more powder-blue Disney movies and rainbow wigs for Jimmie this year. COME ON, MAN! *laughing*

[NC_RaiderFan5]

It didn't really match his umm..."personality."

[HILLBILLYBLACK]

Just in case y'all would want to know, racingusa.com has the 2012 paint schemes on sale for $49.00 right now. I have never bought diecasts, but if I was gonna buy one, it'd be that black and white #48. I freakin' love that car.
