REALLY? Please tell me how those drivers would do competing in NASCAR? Seems to me the NASCAR guys who race once a year in the Rolex Daytona do fairly well.The NASCAR drivers have an advantage in road racing in the stock cars. If 88.282% of them went to run DTM, BTCC, or anything like that...they'd get THEIR doors blown off.

You got that right Jim the days of the race came on the air they showed the starting grid and raced were good. Knowledgable commentators eager to tell a story not make one sure was nice to. Jenkins, Parsons, Gould, Evans they knew when to be commentators and when to be fans.

Robby Gordon has been pretty successful in more forms of racing than just about anyone I can think of. He struggles the most in NASCAR. How do you explain that?

So, are you telling me that the Grand-Am Rolex Series is NOT road racing?.....Will it be road racing once the merger with the ALMS is complete?......Will the merged organization be a joke too?......Was the Grand-Am Series always a part of NASCAR?Grand-Am is NASCAR road racing. It's a joke. Robby Gordon only runs in NASCAR to fund his off-road racing.

Significant Victories7 SCORE International championships (1986–90, 1996, 2009)I'm not arguing with you over petty things. Cup drivers could not compete in world class road racing series. The road racers couldn't compete in Cup either. Grand Am has always been known as the joke of the sports car world. Patrick Dempsey isn't even happy about the merger. Have a nice day.

There's lots about nascar any more that sucks,,,,,but most of all is this Famed total BS 10 race chase deal, that again rewards the haves,,,& screw the "Have Nots". Too bad everybody but the guys who make the chase, don't stay home in protest. It gripes the crap out of me that it's like the all important chase is all you hear. The other guys are of no importance, now that we've entered the CHASE senario. IMHO,,,,,,,,,IT WASN'T BROKE,,,,,,,,WHY'D YA FIX IT!!!!!
ONLY GUY IN NASCAR THAT HALFWAY SPEAKS THE TRUTH,,,IS JIMMY SPENCER. Forget the chase, and start commentating on the WHOLE FIELD OF RACERS. I Truly don't know how the smaller teams can get sponsors anymore, because of the lack of exposure by the media. I used to treasure nascar racing, now if I'm not doing anything, and a race is on, I'll watch, but don't go out of my way to be there. It makes me sad to see the treatment of the smaller teams,,,,especially with the money the really well funded teams get at the year end banquets. It could sponsor the fledging smaller teams for an entire season, but they are forgotten. Of course the local tracks do too. They have a big show, & pay $2000 for a win, & pay $75 to start. It costed the last place guy as much to get there as it did the guy that would win.
I gotta stop talking like this!!! Next thing you know, I'll sell my race car, & quit racing,,,,,,because it doesn't make good sense. And it really doesn't,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ahhhh, anybody wanna buy a race car???

You have a very interesting interpretation for sure. I would not have thought of it that way!
I did not know that about Robby Gordon. It's good to hear from someone who knows him personally.....How was he working that when he ran full-time in NASCAR and the BAJA was his only other venture?.....How did that turn out when he spent nearly all of his time at his Mooresville Lakeside shop?.....What are his plans for next year?
Anyway, if I understand you correctly, the photos below are not from a sports car event?
You will have to excuse me as I have been confused for a very long time! Sorry, but I surely wish I had your level of insight!!!
And then Scott Pruett is NOT a sports car racer?

Marcos Ambrose would blow the doors off any sport car/prototype road racer in the world. Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon could go and beat these guys.
