Nope he wasn't joking at all Ken, several of the younger NASCAR drivers utilize the games as a racing simulator. Dale Earnhardt Jr does a lot of online gaming and I've spoke with a couple of folks who have raced against him, he kicks butt ... just as he should.

NASCAR drivers and gaming article.

Isn't that wild.

Then they need to get better games...

Actually, that's pretty much what I figured. But if the sim tells them the wrong thing, it's worse than useless.

As far as EA Sports NASCAR games go I think the game itself is fine, it seems to be the controllers that suck, at least ours does. Those drivers have the high dollar fun stuff that would probably be a little closer to driving the real deal than the push button controllers that most folks use ... it only takes money. \:\(

I didn't even record it. You're not alone.
I only found out who was in the Super Bowl when I logged into MSN and American friends started messaging me about it.

I believe that, paraphrased, is "but, he seems so American!"

Ah! Good reason I suppose. You exposed me as an outsider to racing. I used to love racing years ago but stopped watching it when the CART / USAC split happened. I have always thought that Godaddy.com's commercials were tasteless.

I've never watched one of them except in fast forward. BTW, they've reconsolidated into Indycar. Sadly, that means they're using the Indycars. I'm looking forward to the redesign in what, 2 years?

I used to keep up with the CART series but like David I quit whenever Tony George made the split, went to a couple of the first IRL races at the Disney World one mile track and enjoyed them but not as much as the CART races in Miami, I never knew who the drivers were and didn't keep up after that except for watching one every now and then on TV.

NASCAR was a different story. Back in the 80s and 90s myself along with a couple of buds used to load up my airplane and hit several races a year ... we met a lot of the owners, drivers and team members by flying in like that, it was fun. \:\)

I know nothing of who's who in racing but saw her interviewed over the weekend and she seems to have a personality to match her good looks and her talent.

As for the folks getting picked on because of their age, just remember. It's not called "grey hair" it's called "Artic Blonde".
