NEXTEL + CUP (original) (raw)

I started a LJ for Jeremy Mayfeild just wanted to pimp it out and get some members!

I only live 90 minutes from Bristol, but seeing as I pay my own tuition at Virginia Tech, I am the definition of poor college student. I've only been to a race there once, but it was amazing and I'd give anything to go back.

So, I entered the SHARPIEST NASCAR FAN contest on my local radio station, WROV.

I WON TICKETS TO THE SHARPIE MINI 300!!

But I REALLY REALLY REALLY want Food City 500 tickets, and I need you guys to help me.

PLEASE VOTE FOR ME!

I am S. Davis, the CASEY MEARS fan, duh!!

This is only going on through midnight. Please help me out!!

Crossposted like woah cuz I really want these tickets! I want to take my dad who loves Bristol but has never had the money to go. Thanks guys!

Is it possible to do a name change for the community?

The JR Nation online store already has some cool new merchandise featuring #88 - click here to check it out!

I checked it out, and there is an official Announcement Tee, a #88 Die Cast car, as well as several exclusive designs available only through the JR Nation online store.

I’ve already bought a couple of t shirts and a hoodie – there definitely is some great stuff there so check out the website when you get the chance!

Was anyone else really disappointed in how ABC/ESPN handled last nights race? Espcially the post-race interviews?

I know it was a big deal to talk to the drivers in the chase because the final 12 got locked in, but there were two men who were not in the chase (David Ragan and Johnny Sauter) who finished in the top five, and nether one of them were interviewed.

I was disappointed because as a Johnny Sauter fan we never get to see him interviewed and this time he ran one hell of a good race and we still didn't get to hear what he had to say when it was over. FOX always interviews the top five. I guess I am just spoiled by FOX...

Other than that, it was a good race!

I think this is totaly bullshit on NASCAR's part. Yes AT&T is a competitive cell phone company but they are a minor one in the sport. EVERYTHING has the Nextel/ Sprint name on it and even the ATT&T car would. I don't understand why NASCAR is being such bitches over this crap. It's not like Jeff Burton is a huge big shot in the sport winning every freakin race week in and week out. I could understand if he was out front more so than he is and winning more so than he is but he's not.

Not trying to say Jeff Burton isn't a good driver and such it's just he's not up there pushing his sponser on the cameras like some other drivers do, or atleast how the commentators seem to push them, if you know what I mean.

Anyone else have an opinion on this?

ESPN just had their first Nascar weekend, what are your thought on how it was handled?

Personally I think no one does it better than FOX, TNT did ok just really got sick of hearing "Born to be Wild" every commercial break. I don't know how I feel about the draft and air flow stuff they showed. Guess I missed how they are able to do that, is there sensors added to all the cars?

Hi, everyone [and most of my own friends' list. Haha]. I'm looking to revamp this community as the epicenter of NASCAR racing on LJ as it once was. Changes will start taking place this week, and will be in full swing for the Chase. I'd really appreciate it if everyone could fill out the following poll and leave any comments if you have any!
