Jimmy C's NASCAR SOUNDOFF

Random Thoughts and Thank You, Part 2

2009-10-24T21:20:00.000-04:00

It was a pretty exciting day for racing, with Timothy Peters winning his very first NASCAR Camping World Truck series win at Martinsville today, and with Brad Keselowski beating and banging his way to a victory at Memphis.

Unfortunately, because the Truck race got off to a late start due to rain this morning in the Martinsville area, the races overlapped a bit. I nearly wore out my clicker flipping back and forth, but managed to see nearly all the action in both races, all the while keeping an eye on the Clemson/Miami football game. (Way to go, Tigers!)

I also wanted to share some stats with you, the kind readers who visit this site. I just pulled some data from my stat counter site, and tabulated some interesting data.

Of the last 500 visitors to the site, the state with the most visitors is the great state of North Carolina, which I suppose isn't surprising, since most of the NASCAR world is centered in that state.

Here's the top 15 locations of visitors to this site over the last few days. Note, some of these aren't US states, you might be surprised to know.

1. North Carolina
2. California
3. New York
4. Ontario (Yeah, that Ontario, as in Ontario, Canada
5. Ohio
6. Pennsylvania
7. Georgia
8. Michigan
9. (tie) New Jersey, Texas
10. (tie) Florida, Connecticut
11. (tie) Virginia, Illinois, South Carolina, Tennessee
12. Washington
13. (tie) Indiana, Maryland, Missouri
14. (tie) Victoria, Australia; Minnesota, British Columbia, Canada
15. (tie) Washington DC, Kansas, Louisiana, England

My sincere thanks to all of you who made the top 15, and to all of you who didn't! Here are some other interesting places readers were when they visited this site:

Prince Edward Island
Saskatchewan
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
Nova Scotia
Ostfold, Norway
Zurich, Switzerland
Rajasthan, India
Alberta
Quebec
Catalonia, Spain
Magnisia, Greece
Oslo, Norway

Thanks for all of your visits, and I hope you'll keep coming back!

Halfway through the Chase

2009-10-24T18:15:00.000-04:00

With only 5 races left in the season, who's going to win?

It looks like Jimmie Johnson has a healthy lead, at 90 points over 2nd place Mark Martin.

Can anyone catch Jimmie?

Are you watching the Chase?

2009-10-10T19:48:00.002-04:00

Is your favorite driver(s) in the Chase for the Cup? If so, does your driver have a chance to win?

If you don't have a dog in this hunt, do you care about the Chase races? Have you quit watching the races altogether?

My favorite driver didn't make the Chase, but I'm still watching the races, because my second favorite driver is in it. Oh, and yeah, it's kind of my job to watch them too.

What do you think?

Road Racing in Montreal

What do you think about it? I like it.

I'm a southern, oval track kind of guy, but I like watching the guys challenged like they are at places like Montreal, Infineon, and Watkins Glen. I wish they still had the Mexico City race in Nationwide.

What do you think?

This Site is just what it says it is!

Say what you think about NASCAR. Say what you want to about your favorite driver, or drivers you hate!

I've only got one requirement. Please keep it PG13 rated. In other words, don't say something you'd want your kids repeating in church, or something that your grandma might overhear. You know what I'm saying. It's not that hard to figure out. Your opinion is your own, and you can express any opinion you want to here as long as it's more or less NASCAR related.

You don't need to sign up or do anything at all, basically. Just click on the 'Comment' button and start sounding off!

I'll try to post a new topic every few days, but you don't have to wait for a new one. Just post anywhere, and people will be able to read your comments.

Good luck!
