GTP NASCAR SPRINT CUP S3 Champs: RFLX_Niop, Joe Gibbs Racing, Toyota

[Müle]

McDonalds > Burger King (mainly because we don't have a BK in this town)

but then again, Amp > Red Bull, so meh.

 

[Müle]

Alright, I've waited long enough. I'll double post. I don't care. Lol


The newest member of Red Bulls Sprint Cup team is mr. RedPartyHat. He will be running full time in the blue 2010 car, and will be competing for the Sprint Cup championship.

I asked him if he could run full time in both series, but he couldn't, so there is a vacancy in Red Bulls Nationwide team. I have contacted someone about taking that seat, and I am waiting for a reply. He was poking around the last thread looking for a ride, so I expect he will say yes.

Also, I taked to R1600Turbo, and have cleared up my Saturday afternoons, so I am available to race part time in the Nationwide series. I may run the 300 on Saturday, but that isn't confirmed. I'll have to talk to Matty about it.

Good pick Mule. I was lucky to work with RedPartyHat during the exhibition last weekend. He was a good bump drafter as I recall.

 

[MustangRyan]

Great pick, Mule. I think we are definitely going to have a great field for this Saturday's Bud Shootout. I think our first season of Nationwide might even produce better racing than our first season of Sprint Cup did, with all of these great drivers coming out to race.

 

[kenkwilinski]

Here are leaderboards and track records. Track Records are ranked from wins then top 3, then top 5 and last by # of starts. Top 10 is disregarded as the grid has reached over 10 drivers only a few times. Further ranks are determined by rating and or win %. Leaderboards are sorted by Totals and nothing more as it is straight forward. Enjoy! I'm sure after looking over these a few drivers will probably try to set some goals for themselves in Series 3. The very last table has a new leader. Can you guess what and who it is? I'll give you a hint......Droptop once reached over 300 of these.

 

[Knelly]

Laps lead.

 

[kenkwilinski]

Laps lead.

Hmmm......maybe? Can you guess who's leading?

 

[MustangRyan]

How about the guy that just led almost 100 laps in the season finale?

EDIT - Those are some great stat groupings, Crazy. 👍

I think this is related enough to get a post in here.

A customer brought this in today for service in the shop I work at. A little research shows it to be one of the 100 Chevy Monte Carlo's that were on hand at the track during the 2000 Brickyard 400. It still has the strobe bulbs in the headlamps and taillights. This one has seen better days, but I thought it was kinda cool.

I like the 2012 impalas. They all come now with the 300+hp caddy motor.

I can do much better this time...

I'm sure many of us will be trying to improve our game on the track. We can't let Niop win a third series in a row

its likely to happen

Just wanted to add that I am going to miss Furi's in race commentary since he's a part timer now. Now who's going to tell me I've got one coming high side going into turn 3?!

On the high side? Never.

Three-wide on the inside?

 

[SUfan21]

"Furi in the pits this lap!"

 

[Furinkazen]

I'm there for most races.

Congratulations to Crazy and Hendrick for winning Season 2 Rivalry of the Season. I'll let you guys fight over who takes the award home!

Are we ever going to get the Crazy vs ACDC 5-lap demolition derby for the Rivalry trophy?

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=6802305#post6802305

Well............I present you:

ACDCROCKS vs CrAzY_bAsSiSt_83
Saturday, March 17th, 2012 before the Shootout in the SprintCup Lobby

 

[Knelly]

Brilliant

 

[MustangRyan]

This almost demands some kind of degenerate gambling. Would anyone like to declare a favorite in this 5-lap race?

ACDC as he is a master of sideswiping people into the wall on straightaways.

Haha, that's awesome. Anything can happen, but a gotta put my money on AC.

 

[Knelly]

I'll put 500,000 GT credits on ACDC. anyone want Crazy at this price?

 

[kenkwilinski]

You know whats funny......as I was looking for pics of the #18 ..........it was kinda of a reminder that Busch is the best at wrecking and saving his car I wanted to use this picture:

But that was the greatest save ever so it kinda felt like I was going to wish myself badluck 👎

 

[MustangRyan]

Did you notice what picture I used for him?

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=6803495#post6803495


By the way, I can't believe no one used one of my pictures.

 

[kenkwilinski]

I really did think about it, but I don't want to promote wrecking anymore. But the Checkers or Wreckers race hopefully will get that all out of me.

Great news gents, I've been talking with the editor of the hugely successful GT Life Magazine and he thinks it's a good idea for me to write an article for the next publication based on the GTP racing scene. I've decided to base it on our 'Daytona Speedweeks', it will mention the WSM, Trucks, Nationwide, Sprint Cup and IndyCar races from Daytona in this 2-3 week period; just a general overview hopefully covering a double page spread.

The first 3 issues of this online magazine have racked up an astonishing 50,000+ views, so hopefully this will spike interest in the racing series forum if all goes to plan! 👍
