2/12/2006 6:26:17 PM

lol who said it was an all star race?

and this kid looks like he's gonna be a star soon enough

2/12/2006 6:30:19 PM

I guess woodfoot didnt know what this race was....he thought getting poles = all star race

" The Budweiser Shootout is a high-octane All-Star race featuring the previous season's Bud Pole winner's and past Budweiser Shootout champions. Before the Budweiser Shootout, the ARCA RE/MAX Series, which features the future stars of NASCAR, will kick off their season with the ARCA 200."

plus the announcers said it several times
thanks for being a douche though

thats to get people to watch...it isnt an allstar race, they base that off of poles from the previous season

=$$$$$

ps

have fun continuing to justify being von douche

2/12/2006 6:37:30 PM

the t-dub wizards said it wasn't, therefore its not

2/12/2006 6:37:48 PM

2/12/2006 6:38:28 PM

the rookie is an all-star in other series

2/12/2006 6:38:38 PM

^thank you, thats all i needed

2/12/2006 6:41:04 PM

the only "all star" race is the one in charlotte...this is just an event based on pole winners from last season. They're just trying to hype the 500 and build anticipation.

2/12/2006 6:43:28 PM

ps

i used quotation marks for a reason

2/12/2006 6:46:00 PM

to make money....they change the rules every year....it sucks....I get pissed....NASCAR keeps changing there shit up.....Bill Elliot could have raced, because he won two 500s.....10 years ago....impossible....before 2003, I bet NASCAR would have changed a rule to let Jr. Race ( let alone Bud). All-Star Race no.....they try to make it that way for money, great to watch, but nothing like the all-star at charlotte.

2/12/2006 6:46:29 PM

but anyhow....they let others into this race off of other divisions

2/12/2006 6:47:38 PM

see thats all you had to say

in my non-nascar mind, this would be like a mudcats player rocking into the allstar game just cause he's ballin in zebulon

2/12/2006 6:51:05 PM

yep......But it gets better from here..............They only have the twin 150s ( used to be 125s) on Thursday for money.....they made the race longer for money as well.....more "air" time (my favorite word by the way). Which makes the qualifying they had tody pretty much worthless.....

2/12/2006 6:58:51 PM

He won the pole at Phoenix, next-to-last race of the year last year, while in a fill-in role in the current car he is driving. Hence he qualifies.

2/12/2006 7:57:13 PM

once again

all i needed

I believe that if you finish in the top 15 (or maybe it's more, i'm not sure on this) you fall back on your qualifying time. Therefore qualifying is important, as are the 150s (i'm so used to saying 125s, just like I still call it Winston Cup). I like this format as racing and qualifying are two entirely different skills on these restrictor plate tracks.

And also I would just like to add, Carl Edwards got boned over w/ NASCARs shit call in this race, which leads me to my usual boycott of this "so-called" form of motorsport.

"so-called" form of motorsport?

2/13/2006 12:16:12 AM

^^THATS THE POINT DUMBASS

it was someone with 8 posts arguing with someone with 24 posts

2/13/2006 10:25:39 AM

make sure you spell everything right guys.....even if you are drinking beer and watching other sporting events......we must spell correctly....because that is more important than the point

2/13/2006 12:24:23 PM

i think he/she was more suggesting that you could have called him "Mr Nascar" instead of his real name
