Bud Shootout

Recommended Posts

Welcome Race Fans Yes!

Here we go again! Time for the Shootout, Twin 125s and The Great American Race.

Oh wait, in today's new nascar, i guess it's the "blah blah blah Shootout" the "Gatorade Duel 150s" and the blah blah.

I do miss yesteryear. But my 48 is absolutely dominating this !poo! haha -

Any picks this year for the title?

Top 5

48

24

11

20

14

Gonna be a big year for Logano and the rest are standard operating procedure.

I'd like to see 24 get another title but not at the expense of the 48.

I hope Juan builds off last year and wins the cup in 2010.

And I hope you can shed some light in this , I hear that the 24&48 teams will be sharing alot more info with the 5&88 .. What do you expect this year from those guys and are yall more open with info this year than last?

I just think it's gonna take time and patience for the 18 to work with a new CC and he has neither time nor patience. I can't stand the asshole prick but fug him, i do think the 11 will be top notch and i like logano having a good year.

i had heard mumblings about the 48 n 24 sharing more information but i don't think it can be blamed on that. When HMS finishes 1,2, n3 in the points, it's obviously not the organization to blame. Somewhere, Jr has to take some blame.

I saw articles last year saying that the 24, 48 n 5 seemed to run close to the same setups yet Jr and his crew did something different. Whether he's hard headed or too arrogant to see other, more better, ways of operating, i'm not sure. but at some point, it's him and not the crew, or car, or evil step mother, or dumb bad racing luck etc....

i hope he does well. i like jr. i think jr thinks a lil highly of himself when he's not all that great of a driver, but i do like him.

Hamlin has always struck me as really arrogant. They tried to portray him as this humble country boy, but I think that's because they wanted an "everyman" to compete with the likes of Gordon and Johnson. He might be a countryboy, but he's an arrogant one.

I don't mind Kyle Busch much anymore. He's an ass, but at least he's himself.

I like Scott Speed, he seems funny. Doesn't take himself too seriously and can laugh at himself.

i dont really like kyles attitude but he has the talent to compensate for it

. and as far as scott speed , hes really cool and hes hella nice, he brings his car, (actually it might be his girls car) to the dealership and takes time to talk to me and really listens to what i had to say..he hasnt let being a famous driver get to his head.

Yeah, I can't stand Hamlin on a personal level. At least I couldn't until Homestead last year. When he spun out keslowski, i thought okay, that's alright. Keslowski punked Hamlin all year in the Busch series and Hamlin finally got him back.

Busch? Ugh. I can't stand him. I think he's more suited for carnivals. You know, the insult guy who pisses everyone off?

    • I’m not suggesting that tanking is the right thing to do every time. I do think that if you have guys like Burns and Moore that you will trade anyway, then you should think about tanking and getting max value, especially if you want to grab a QB that might go 1st overall. We tried to do both. Trade CMC for picks but don’t take 3 1sts and a 2nd for Burns and Moore. Instead, we won a few games and then threw in Moore on a trade because we didn’t tank and we gave Burns away for a 2nd. Can you honestly say that fully tanking, by trading away all our best guys who weren’t in future plans, in 2022 wouldn’t have made our team better now? We wanted a rookie QB and we didn’t extend the main guy we didn’t want to trade. We were 100% in full tear down and we could have been a playoff team last year if we used the 4 extra 1sts or 3 1sts and 2 2nds (counting picks saved on Young by being pick 3 or 4 not 9) on D. Culture building is funny. It took three coaching changes to seemingly get there. Morgan and Canales weren’t in charge when we “protected” our culture. We still traded Burns and Moore, we just lost 3 first round picks in the process. Also, do you think the Eagles are in a bad place because of their coach clearly tanking a game for a draft pick? Remember that? It was obvious and the coach was fired. The funny thing is that this is something teams do all the time but they add their stars (like Cam in 2016, CMC, Burns, etc.) to IR or rest them in week 16/17. Pederson was just dumb and made it obvious. He could have just sat his starters to start. Anyway, did that incident tank risk their credibility? Did Barkley decide to not sign with them? Seems like their SB win and other SB visit say they are just fine. Winning makes culture, picking the right coach makes culture, trading away guys who are on other teams in a year for top picks and keeping more picks by having a better starting pick to trade up, does not impact culture. If it helps you win, culture will be fine, ask the Eagles.
