Didn't Ned Jarrett apologize to Dale Earnhardt, Sr. afterwards for cheering on his son? I remember Dale, Sr. saying something like, "Ned, I'm a daddy, too."

They're doing some sort of pre-order deal that will allow you to drive IndyCars in GRID 2, but nothing about a dedicated Indy game.

I think DW's call of the 2001 500 finish was worse than Ned in that.

I don't think either call was all that bad. I can understand why they would both cheer on family, so I won't bash them for that. I find it funny that during most ESPN broadcasts, Rusty Wallace doesn't acknowlage that Steven is his son.

Hello, I was once known as Rovenami on the EFR forums to say that I am deeply and most sincerely apologize for all the stuff I have posted prior to being banned from this forum, especially to the people I have ticked off in the Dan Wheldon thread and to the admins and moderators, most notably Cynon, Snake, antknee, Ceej, etc. What I did that got me banned from the EFR forums not only made me look like an immature noob, but it was also an insult to me, the EFR forums, the sim-racing community and worst of all...it was an insult to NR2003 itself. With this, I give to you, the members of the EFR forums, my apologies for all the damage I have caused that led me to be banned from the EFR forums.

Got our interwebs upgraded at the homestead. Was running the 3 mb/s AT&T DSL but now we've got the super-deluxe 11 mb/s dealie. (UVerse just arrived in my area, in case anyone was wondering.)

Upshot: pages load much faster. Also means that I might finally attempt online racing!

115 years ago, a young Italian was born in Modena. Known as "il Commendatore", he was the pioneer of Italian engineering creating such cars as the 125S, the 250, the 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" and the F40. His name was Enzo.

Today was our 6th snow day of the year, which came right after a 3 day weekend. We've only been to school 14 days in the past 4 weeks!

by racingfreak1999 Tue Feb 19, 2013 9:41 pm

A lot of schools in this area completely wiped out winter vacation due to the time everyone lost due to Sandy.

by iAMBADDATGAMES Tue Feb 19, 2013 9:52 pm

I think my school was one of the few school that were open today in Michigan. I had to walk out into the blizzard 3 times today just to get to my classes since my high school uses 2 buildings.

by day500champ1 Tue Feb 19, 2013 10:14 pm

Geez, that to me shows how odd Michigan weather can be. We had at most a dusting and my car which has been outside all day does even have anything on it.

by Rykia Tue Feb 19, 2013 10:36 pm

My school has only had one snow day this year which is fine by me, cause we get a four day weekend this weekend since we haven't used up all our snow days. Woulda been a five day weekend, but that one snow day...

by iAMBADDATGAMES Tue Feb 19, 2013 10:39 pm

The weirdest thing is that it didn't start snowing that much in my area until the last week of January.

Somebody released a top 100 list of the coolest Nascar paint schemes. Needless to say, they were obviously not fimilar with Nascar.

Some of the listings were diecast only specials and 2 werent even Nascar. Without looking, guess what #1 was.

It was obviously going to be him. I bet Richard Petty's scheme is in the top ten as well.

I'm not sure what you mean by that, because NASCAR totally raced Trans Ams!

So in my late night boredom I decided to calculate the average speed of the Life GP's lap time at Imola...

You know your team is hopeless when you putz around at 26 miles per hour.
