The Official JPM NASCAR Spoiler Thread

No, I think most people realize F1 and NASCAR are almost completely different. Yes, both cars have four wheels, but that's about it. If a NASCAR driver went to a mid-pack F1 team, we'd see a similar performance if not worse.

Anywho, I think the JPM story is dying down a bit at least in the F1 world. Too much stuff is going on with Lewis Hamilton.

 

It's not easy explaining to an ignorant NASCAR fan that think higher top speed = better.

I can't figure out why JPM wouldn't hold out for a top team before he made the switch over to NASCAR. To people that don't understand the difference the team and car make, it just makes him and F1 look overrated to NASCAR fans.

Agreed about Hamilton taking over all F1 headlines.

 

Not when JPM qualifies 32nd on a road course. Hell, Boris Said qualified 4th. Lets get Boris to F1.

 

OLD NASCAR MOTTO: If you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'....

Why do NASCAR fans do it doggie style?


































So they can both watch the race.

 

He is still starting ahead of Gordon.

 

He beat Boris Said at the Busch road course earlier this season and out-qualified him there as well. They didn't show the rest of qualifying so I didn't get a chance to see his performance, but going from 4th fastest in practice to 32nd means something happened that shouldn't have.

 

Apparently no mechanical issues, maybe the track just got slippery. From NASCAR.com:

>>He thought the lap was a good one, maybe within a few tenths of a second of the pole. Then Juan Montoya zoomed across the start/finish line at Infineon Raceway, and learned he was nowhere close.<<

 

It is hard to qualify while giving the finger. LOL

 

Someone sounds a little jealous of JPM...

 

Lol, I wonder if he had any particular 40 year old miata spec racer in mind. I guess it didn't take any talent at all to challenge for the F1 world title in 03 either

 

Rob you are out of your mind. Reading this post reminded me of those ESPN commercials where some individual is talking out of his a$$.

 

"...out of my lack of information"

LOL! I love those commercials.

 

LOL I just saw that.

 

Montoya was fastest in Practice yesterday for all of you bench racers.

 

Yeah, but back in 12th or something for Happy Hour.

-Peter (no opinion either way, although highly entertained by Rob's "Miata driver" comment, more truth there than not...)

 

You guys watching the race? JPM up to 18th from 32nd.
I don't have cable so all my info is from NASCAR track pass
Is he passing people or is the move up from pitting

 

Battling...

..and I know this is blasphemy on this forum - but.well, this race is more exciting than anything I've seen in F1 this year...

 

can't get by Dale Jr.
The race is fun to watch, but seeing these boats on a road course, really demonstrates how much faster open wheel cars are on thru turns

 

up to 4th after leaders pitted

 

you sure he has to pit?
See how many of the remaining laps are under caution
