Nascar: 2010

[tcrist]

What I have almost always heard was "outside or inside" if there was a car there and "clear high or clear low" if there was no car there of course.

So if JJ's spotter just said "high or low" one would assume that JJ would have thought it was clear.

That or JJ is just tired of being the nice guy and is showing his true colors. What ever it is, he has been making a few people mad at him lately. Also he knows that everyone is after him because they are tired of him winning everything including the Cup titles.

Remember how everybody hated JG when he was winning everything. JJ is not going to roll over and play dead just because JG wants him to.

Terry,

Due to the amount of spotters and radio talk, I have heard some drivers just want their spotter to say high or low if there is a car above or below them. They all want the Clear High or Clear Low from the interviews I have watched.

Ron,
I know if it were me in the car I would not want the same words being used in comunication meaning two different things. Low and clear low meaning two different things would be confusing. To me it would have to be "inside" if someone was there and "clear low" if it was clear. That way it would be known exactly what was being ment.

Of course I am old and need to have things clear and concise or I can get confused. My stroke did not help with that either.

Terry,

I agree with you about limiting the words used. I guess it is just what you get used to. Myself I had rather hear Clear Low or Clear High when it is clear and just low or high when there is a car there, Inside and outside would work just as well if I was racing and used to those words.

NASCAR still sucks and will continue to suck in my opinion until they go back to running "stock" cars.

John,

They can't run stock cars any more because all of the new ones have some kind of electronic fuel injection systems. They claim it would be to hard to keep them from cheating.

I bet that Jr. (and others) would not be singing that tune if he (they) had won the race. I like his comment about kit cars considering that they are driving spec race cars.

I agree that restrictor plate races are boring until the last few laps when unfortunately they end up wrecking a bunch of cars virtually every time. They have these long tracks with high banking so every driver puts the gas to the floor and leaves it there until a caution come out. Whoever happens to be at the front of the line of cars at the end of the last lap ====> wins. Like it or not, that is NASCAR restrictor plate racing.
