scott pruett sucks montoya rocks

[quasiphatpaul]

@christiancp97cas i thought he said dirty driving. but that's what people said about earnhardt... but that's what it takes.

[hoot101]

He was hot because he had to pit and to go the back.

[javierhejtmanek]

pruett is so wrong

[RancheroBFT]

And now in 2010, Montoya has still not won on an Oval, and in the meantime he has still been sponsored by Big Red, which is also a Wrigley's gum.

All Wrigley's gums taste like shit by the way.

[christiancp97cas]

bad driving, yeah right!, go fuck ur self pruett!

[foolmoi]

scott puny didnt give montoya any room!!

[KartChampion]

(con't)....now take that guy &put him in a competition with a 1960s hand gun where ppl shoot at a target in a controlled environment from 10ft away. Lets say 85% of the population is capable of hitting the target,even 81 year old men,(age of current oldest NASCAR driver)

Now all of a sudden the Marksmen (Montoya) doesn't look like anything special. They have taken his talent out of the equation & he must find another way to win But, Montoya isnt much more than consistentlyextremelyfast BUTdumb

[KartChampion]

HOWEVER You answered your own question Grim, you are arguing against yourself but I doubt you realize it...? Montoya is a massive talent, but talent for speed and even fitness means virtually nothing in NASCAR (due to ""non-event corners", banking, drafting, & yellow flags, etc..) Imagine taking the most excellent marksmen in the world that w/ a high powered Sniper rifle, hits flees off a dog in a Hurricane from a mile away. Lets say only .00001% of the population is capable of this......(con't)

[KartChampion]

Well....Open Wheel drivers IN America DO suck (particularly Danica) Drivers who race in America Nascar,Indy, what have you are usually 2nd rate drivers that couldn;t cut it against the best and in America you can "pay your way" to a good seat unfortuatly so that is what they do. Also,

Montoya "sucks" at racing in general not just NASCAR, That is why no F1 team wanted him. he wreaks ppl out, and mostly he is treats team members horribly! but he is an AMZING! talent in terms of Shear speed

[shodan73spike]

"Bad driving"?!!? Who won the race, Scott??

[nashcollector13]

i really enjoyed the mexico race, looks like nascar just used the fans over there then ditched them lol.

[grimreaper2001]

All I have to say is.........If Nascar race cars are so much easier to drive and doesn't take a whole lot to drive one and F1 drivers are superior and the most fit people on earth. Why does Montoya suck dick at racing in Nascar. Plus not to mention the open wheel guys. They all suck too. Maybe it's because they can't electronically add wedge or air pressure or use traction control. They have no idea how to figure out what the car needs to make it better. Like Danica Patrick. They just drive...

[xxxxxPIETROxxxxx]

Wow a great overtaking pass and this jackass pull in front! he spun himself silly fool!

[KartChampion]

lol, well highway955 pointed himself out. how embarrising. so which one are you ...? 1.ignorant 2.logically challenged or slightly racist?

seeing as how your statement shows a lack of understanding for the term data set and therfore a lack of understanding of statistics I will we will file you under ignorant. boardering on logically challenged though

[KartChampion]

the F1 car tyre conversly has a famously Razorsharp slipangle &gives VERY little warning when letting go. Couple that with by-far the stiffest chassis known to man (which physics tells us will naturally require muchfaster reflexes) &further exacerbate the driver's problems by having drastically&constant changing grip levels due to aero sensitivity & you begin 2 realize that F1 drivers are required 2B the most supreme talents as they have 2 drive "actively" during every inch of road. Very unique

[KartChampion]

if their car drove like an F1 car and was Aero sensitive when drafting, most all of the NASCAR drivers would have wrecked, of course that is baring if they didn't pass out first from the Vertical G's the oval would induce while @ 260+mph

your arugment is cute though

[KartChampion]

I have been reading some comments on how a cup car and F1 cars differ in driving style and all of you guys have skewed opinons here that are unfortunetly limited by imagination. Hopefully I can explain it decently, though I really need about 6,000 words + to even come close, but basically , yeah a Cup Car is heavier, but the Tires have HUGE slip angles and trust me they are one of the easiest things I have ever driven and a lot of other driver's confirm this feeling they are Xtremely forgivng

[Slotten68]

Have you seen a recent picture of Mark Martin? He is ripped! He could beat up a twenty year old for sure. Im sure Martin would love to have multi-million dollar electronic readers telling him when to shift and when to begin braking and having traction control systems and a car that is half as heavy with tires that are more than twice as wide. Instaid Martin fights 3500 pound cars going three, four, and somtimes five wide around corners with very narrow tires on a ill-handling vehicle.

[F1jason123]

Well you were implying it by saying that they would rather drive F1 cars instead of NASCARS for 500 miles. All F1 drivers have to pass a fitness test to even think of sitting in an F1 car. The reason they finish to the back is becasue there car is quick enough to finih at the front.

[Shammons55]

I'm not saying F1 isn't physical. But 49 year old men can be in great shape too. There's only about 2 or 3 drivers in NASCAR not in perfect shape, and that's why they always finish towards the back. Same deal with F1 drivers.

[F1jason123]

If F1 cars were ultra-responsive why are there guys that spin. And F1 drivers might not go for as long, but there cockpits incredibly cramped and they also drive in high tempretures, Bahrain, Malaysia, Turkey, Singapore. The fact that a 49 yr old man can still drive in the highest level of NASCAR shows that NASCAR is less physical than F1.

[Shammons55]

Not quite. Driving the ultra-responsive Formula 1 is difficult, but when you have to drive a several thousand pound beast for 500 miles in the vicious heat, I bet that the NASCAR drivers wish their cars drove like Formula 1 vehicles.

[F1jason123]

The physical needs for NASCAR is less than Formula 1, Mark Martin is 49 and Coulthard is 37 and going to retire at the end of the season. What does that tell you Hmm?
