After all those hits, he climbs out and walks away.

Leading in the last turn to DNF, just like that. Silly A$$CAR.

He actually crossed the finish line as he took the lick to the rear. Officially, he finished 14th. Still amazing the wrecks most of these guys walk away from.

i use to watch nascar all the time and was really into it.. until these later years now everythings going downhill and just not as fun as it use to be with the identical cars the shaped like a brick, who needs branding anymore. they need to go back to the way it was in the past

Today I was watching some show on Speed about classic Nascar drivers. The cars were actual cars, they had some in-car footage and the damn thing had an actual steering wheel. Modern stock cars suck.

i want one of the top two tears to come close either the cup series or nationwide series, thats what i said would be to loud. if i remember right the cars comming are basically super late models. i know how loud those things are i've taken a few laps in one back before i moved out here. nascar was trying to build a track up in washinton have any of you northerners heard more about that ?

That idea was squashed in the election a couple of years ago. "Too loud," "Too much traffic," by the naysayers. They didn't take into account the revenue it could generate with events other than mainstream NASCAR. In all fairness, just building the infrastructure would have been a monumental task for the location they had planned for it.

There was an even larger motorsports center planned for oregon a few years ago too. Would have been out near Boardman. I think they ruled that I84 wasnt large enough to carry the traffic though.

They should use some of the Government Stimulus money we've got to "improve roads" to build a big circular road with banked sides. Then they could make a windy one in the middle of that circular road. I bet voters would approve that Smile

Looks like that Boardman track is still on. I see the sportsman club/track part is finished and opened this summer.. Planning a nascar oval, couple small ovals, 6mile road course, kart track, dragstrip etc.

Boardman[OR] soon to break ground on facility: It's been years in the planning, but ground will finally be broken for the speedway in Boardman [Oregon]. The tentative date for the ground-breaking ceremony is set for Oct. 18, but that could change, said Billie Jean Morris, director of marketing for Pacific Northwest Motorsports Park. The groundbreaking comes after many months of work across the state to see the park come to fruition. Earlier this summer, Gov. Ted Kulongoski signed Senate Bill 665 into law which allowed the first changes in the land use laws of Oregon since they were enacted in the 1970s, eliminating yet another barrier to the development of the 4,000-plus acre raceway destination resort. Phase I of the development will start with the construction of Pacific Northwest Motorsports Park (PNMP), the first luxury motorsports country club in the Pacific Northwest. A semi–private motorsports country club, PNMP plans to offer such things as private garage/suite lots. The garage/suites will house the club members' cars and motorcycles and provide private areas where they can entertain their guests and friends. Phase II plans include the construction of a 145,000-square-foot members' club house complex consisting of the Members Club, a semi-private clubhouse with dining room, bar, lounge and locker areas; a members only viewing deck; health club; outdoor swimming pool; golf putting green and tennis courts. Plans also include a site for the Pacific Northwest Motorsports Park Museum, which will house an exclusive collection of unique sports cars, racing cars and motorcycles and racing-industry memorabilia, which will be open to the public for an admission fee. All of that is in addition to the six-mile road course, a quarter-mile drag strip, a one-mile kart track, two small oval tracks, various racing schools and a high banked oval that will could potentially host NASCAR racing" said Gardner.(Hermiston Herald)(9-12-2007)

Boardman? Are you talking about Oregon Raceway Park that opened this season out in tim-buck-two?
