NASCAR 2020

I agree...let 'em race, of course with some guidelines, there have to be some; but, may the best car and driver win.

[Vaquero]

Well I see that Stenhouse Jr. and Alex Bowman have themselves locked in on the front row.

I'm not a Stenhouse fan, but he must have felt great doing this well after losing his ride at the end of last season.

[Vaquero]

Not a fan either CGF, but, but his ex-girl I like her, but not her racing.

Hey All,

The old run what ya brung way of racing in NASCAR is dead hopefully never to be brought back... Point is You can't go back in time.

That said pole or front row means nothin at Daytona or talledega due to the nature of the racing. I'd not put much stock in who is pole or front row. Car setups are completely different.

Starting in the front has it's benefits though. One is the accomplishment and the glory of it, but it is also a great way of avoiding a first lap wreck, like we have seen before. But it sure is true that you can go backwards pretty quick.

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

I like her, but not her racing.

I didn't care for either, lol.

Was glad to see her finally gone.

[cooperhawk]

I watched that wreck fest yesterday. That was a mess.
They've changed the cars again and I think not for the best.
I always like to watch Rowdy Bush. His antics are amusing at the least.
He does throw a good tantrum from time to time, but I remember Jimmy Johnson saying that Rowdy was the best driver he'd ever seen.
I'm also a little biased because Joe Gibbs was coaching the Redskins when I lived in Northern Virginia and I really like him.

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

but I remember Jimmy Johnson saying that Rowdy was the best driver he'd ever seen.

DW said it as well.

He's probably the closest to an old school type driver that we have out there.

True you cant go back in time. But to each there own. One thing that is also notable is there fan base has shrunk considerably. Nothing wrong with run what you brung concept fans were there then and not now. Im not wanting to see how many pile ups there is on raceday. I can look at that on the nightly news for any big city.

So what driver, team, or logo do guys want to see take the checkered flag?

1. I am a #24 William Byron fan. I'm hopeful his pairing with Knaus will reward him with a checker or two this year. He's a fine young man.
2. If 24 can't seal the deal, then it is anyone in the Hendrick camp.
3. If the Hendrick camp can't finish em off, then it's anyone with a Bowtie on their grill, if they have a grill left!

A few years ago, I took a ride around the Charlotte Motor Speedway with the Richard Petty Experience, and their driver. I will never forget how the G forces felt (3 G's) when the car went into turn 1 at speed. I thought we were going right into the wall . Our straight away speeds were + - 160 mph nothing compared to the Cup speeds. After that ride, I gained tremendous respect for what these drivers, current and yesteryear, endure on race day.

[Grunt67]

Well, I'm a die hard Ford guy, have been since my first car ( '56 Ford Crown Vic ). I hoping for a Penske driver to take the checker.
Like Chase Elliot also, was a big fan of Awesome Bill, back in the day.

I won't be watchin unless it's pouring rain and can't do anything outside then it will just be a glance here and there.
Used to watch religiously but no more, BUT
I'll take the #18 EVERY weekend.
As far as Hendrick the last driver he had beside the one year Kyle was there, was Terry LaBonte.
I like Chase because he's Bill's son just wish he drove for anyone else.
Brands don't matter, the only thing on those cars that are brand are the decals.
No brand parts on those cars anymore sorry.

[BigAl52]

Yup Im a Chase fan because of Bill Elliot. Just wish he was in a different brand also. But I wont be watching much unless there isnt anything else on to watch.

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

At home I'm all Chevy and a Cadillac, but on the track I'm for the driver.

Ryan Newman would be my pick.

He's been close to it before and could very well accomplish it.

Would also be great to see Jack Roush win another.

My second choice would be Kyle Busch again.

Two in a row would really keep the doubters quiet.

He took a lot of flak on his first a few years back.

Third would be Austin Dillon.

Not only for himself and Chevrolet, but mostly for Richard Childress.

Would love to see him win another.

[JEBar]

I too pull for drivers .... my first favorite was Fred Lorenzen who drove the number 28 Ford .... later I became a strong 3 fan .... more recently I pulled for Danica and I'd like to see Jimmy Johnson win a 6th .... I now pull for Hendrick's Chevy drivers with Chase and Jimmy at the top of the list .... I have no sympathy for Kyle but have come to where I enjoy seeing Kurt do well

[Vaquero]

Jim I mean you no harm but I hope JJ, has already won his last race and/or championship

RP I mean you no harm but I hope Shrub has the same type of finish in every race this season as he did in the Clash

You know, Jimmie is a great guy and a great driver to boot, but Nascar started falling during his victorious years. When Jimmie won, so did Knaus and so did Hendrick. Two people that myself and many others out there are not fans of.

I'm a pretty big fan of Nascar in general, but when Jimmie won Race after Race and Championship after Championship, it wore me down. And I feel it wore the sport down as well. His abnormal good luck also added to the frustration, as remember, when Jimmie won, your driver didn't. I really believe that the Chase was created to simmer Jimmie down. And it worked. Now all this is no fault of Jimmie himself, but reality is reality.

I also hope him the best and he will go down in history as one of the best, as well as being a future Hall of Famer, but I also hope he had his last. I wouldn't mind him winning a race or two, but no more Championships, I agree.

My opinion anyway.

[Vaquero]

Coool then, now we have a rivalry.
Good luck and may the best one win.
