Fixed

[Tristar Racing]

As Robby said over the radio, of course it was Kahne.

If its not fixed, how about Nascar shows vote totals.

Robby continues to have awful luck, but Walter seems to be what the team needs. Time will tell...

Im kidding of course about the fixing, but it does make you wonder...

[RGFan]

Not you too Matt........ Remember, the band wagon fans were cheating with Fly's voting program to start with......Sounds to me like karma bit the Uprising in the arse. All RG had to do was win......Of course Nascar fixed the vote...Who would they rather have in, one of their most popular drivers with one of the biggest sponsors in nascar or RG, with a part time sponsor.......Money talks and BS walks...Fair, no.....But life is never fair.

i guess you have to do a few of them commercials where you have a bunch of ole' hides chasin' the young, cute, proper surerstar all american racer with a trunk fulla cold buds and a potato in his pants all over the south. oh kasey. i'm just teasing. i've got nothing against those girls. or cute little kasey either. rg is'nt as cute . kasey does'nt have a 90 mile an hour fasthelmet either. nascar does'nt care much for ole rob i'm afraid. too bad. so sad. was it fixed? a slightly different, more distinguished term might be in order. pre-determined is the right choice of words i'd say. these nascar guys running the show are'nt gonna ever do our boy any favors. that's obvious by now even to the most casual observer. it's more like rasslin' nowadays.

[RGFan]

Ouch!!!! Kahne robs one from RG and ends up winning the million.....karma

[NicksTrix]

kasey's got the first few rounds covered at his place tonight for sure!
congrats to the 9 team.

WOW!! RG as you groupies call him, just plain and simple has no talent. I do not understand the "I love RG threads you guys start." He has done nothing in NASCAR and on the dirt, well nothing there either. For every race you say he has one there is ten he lost or did not finish. I know, I know he is the icon of dirt racing in your world, but in reality he is NOT. No one stole any win from him he gave it to them with lack of talent.

You are what we call an "Idiot." You need to look at the big picture. How about rooting for the underdog in NASCAR instead of being comfortable being a groupy- I say- you and your friend's need to put on your Michael Waltrip shirts, go down to NAPA, and go enjoy how you relate to him in personality and average speed.

In the desert- stop. Go to a race. Them come back and post. Appearently you haven't seen it happen up close.

Lastly in an off note- he actually is very impressive behind the wheel of a motorhome too. Saw him "unwedge" his motorhome at "Papagayo's" (Ensenada, since you've probably never been to Mex) in impressive fashion.

One more thing- I'm not in his cult. He's just fun to watch.

[outlaws1000]

WOW!!! Ruffled your skirt!!! I have been to a lot of races there "idiot" I stole your word haha. Why would I root for the underdog?? How about Montoya there's an underdog.

Tell me oh wise one what has RG done for NASCAR???????

And what makes him sooooo fun to watch on dirt???

Also what's the big picture???

Your best arguement is him behind the wheel of a motorhome or was that his NASCAR oh well he drives them the same slow and steady.

WOW, RGfan is gonna be pizzed

[outlaws1000]

Well, it is my opinion.

I guess that you must have a better resume than RG?! see below! or you must have done much better in your motorsports career? or you must be jealous? You list Trophy Truck in your profile, just curious who you drive for? I personally root for RG because he is an underdog, owns his own team and is somehow making it work and still finds the time to come and race in the desert where he got his start and where his love still is. If it wasn't for his NASCAR racing, chances are he might not be racing in the desert. He also brings a great amount of exposure to our wonderful sport.

[Mot51560]

Well, it is my opinion.

Sometimes opinions are best kept to yourself.

[outlaws1000]

Career highlights stop at 2005??? HUH.......Well, to start out I relied to a thread that was titled "FIXED" remember?

It seems to me that the RG fans have a bag of excuses, right? I merely pointed that out. Don't spout off old driving records and get all upset we all have our own opinions, right?

[outlaws1000]

Well, I will keep them to myself or at least a group with open minds.

oh I forgot to mention that he won a stage at the Dakar make up rally and beat Sainz on that day. That was this year. If anyone didn't have a past then they would be nothing. If Richard Petty didn't win all those races throughout his career then he would not be called "the king of nascar". I'm not making any excuses just pointing out the facts with RG's accomplishments.

[outlaws1000]

So you agree that the race tonight was not fixed? He lost fair and square? And by the way "you mean you forgot to copy and paste that."

Your comparing Richard Petty to RG?

[firedog]

I did not say anything about being "fixed"! I was replying to your comments that "He has done nothing in NASCAR and on the dirt, well nothing there either" If he didn't win then he lost, right???? like all the others that didn't win tonight. "you mean you forgot to copy and paste that" Sorry I'm not perfect and it wasn't on the web page that I searched. No I'm not comparing Richard Petty to RG, just saying that if you have a past of accomplishments they help to define your career. For Rg his career in motorsports, which in my opinion is something to be proud of. I know I would be if I was making a living racing cars, trophy trucks, dakar h-3's, indy cars ect.

[Tristar Racing]

Wow, someone needs to chill out.

First off, you forgot Robbys most recent Baja 1000 win, which I believe was 06.

Second, by fixed I meant the fan vote, and I was purely being humorous, nothing was serious about my post. If it was fixed, who cares? Its a not points event. Outlaws1000, I hope your rant allowed you to pat yourself on the back this weekend. For me, it cracked me up that your willing to argue in a thread that was created purely as a joke. I guess your the joke at this point...

[Racbaja]

"Your comparing Richard Petty to RG?" RG as we call him, is a more talented overall racer. Hell Robby still goes to the BMX track in Orange when he is home according to my sources at the ABA. Oh yea this is comming from a 45y/o man who has raced many years in one thing or another. You are entitled to your opinion, but comming on a website that pro RG and calling people out is idiotic.


Ron Plunkett

[outlaws1000]

Fixed is having the "groupies" I mean fans vote for the same person over and over and over. We also can call names all day and night or I can be the bigger person and sit back and allow you rg fans to call me names. Well, at least this thread is worth reading.

[woundedyak]

Wow! Only 22 post and made this many friends. Why don't you hang it up for awhile and come back once your nut's drop!

Hope this gets you through the day, again it amuses me to see this response to a joke thread I started.

Cheers.

the more you talk, the dumber you sound. anyone racing at these levels are legit talents. what makes him so fun to watch offroad is that he has great instincts and reads terrain as well as anyone who has been involved in desert racing. but you gotta keep on your toes and pay attention when you watch cause he's really, really fast. as far as what rg has done for nascar goes. who cares? it's hardly rg's job to do anything for those clowns. but you're a funny sob in a retarded sort of way, so keep it coming. you're bound to be a big hit here. there's always room for idiot uninformed commentary. is this a great country or what?

[DEZERTSUB]

Talk about coming in and stirring the hornets nest!!!

It's OK though, I was treated about like this guy has been (even worse from certain RGFans;)) when I admitted to being a Jimmie Johnson fan.

I wonder what they'd all say if I told them how much I like Kyle Busch these days....:rolleyes:

really 97? first jj. now kyle? you gonna be a big pos fan if he starts winning? but if a guy roots for whoever is hot at the time, well, that's not so bad. yer never all bummed out most the time like rg fans are. i really don't have much of a problem with any of those guys doing well cept jiffy and pos. and jj. and kyle. and kurt. my question for you sr. 97 is will you still like jj when he tanks? they all tank at some point. by then you'll prolly have a new hero. jus' jivin' bro. jj's a fine upstanding young man. kind of a wuss tho ["i don't like the dezert. i'm rich now and i don't wanna be dirty anymore. waaaah"]. i'm still an rg fan and content in my misery. if he ever starts really doing well, i'll really be confused and screwd up. yes, even more than i am now. gas on.

[DEZERTSUB]

I suppose I will always like JJ, unless for some reason he changes his attitude and becomes a jackhole. Plus, he's a California boy, I was there when he won his first Cup race, and yeah, he's good!

I have always liked Kyle as well, I saw a TV show on him that gave some info about how he got into racing, had some controversy about his young age, stuff like that. And I LIKE his attitude, the way he bowed to the crowd after the burnout contest, the way he doesn't care what people think of him...

And right you are about rooting for good drivers, I rarely have a bad week:D

Haha!

I liked Jimmy Johnson since he was running the #22 Pennzoil ASA car for Herzog, and then the #92 Alltel Busch car for the same team. I was actually at his Busch Series debut at the Milwaukee Mile where he drove a blank #92 car.

All this being said, once he started winning I became less of a fan. It wasnt the winning, just the bandwagon fans who all stated they always liked him. Most of his fans dont even realize he came from off-road.

Oh well. Anyone want my JJ Alltel hat and die-cast? :)

Glad to see this thread has calmed down some, once again I want to clarify IT WAS A JOKE PEOPLE! :)

(edit) - I just realized I got called jackass on my public profile, haha. All because I said the guy was a joke. Looks like I was right. Yikes...

[RGFan]

WOW, RGfan is gonna be pizzed

No.......Just sounds like a Carlos Sainz fan in denial to me

hey 97. how bout kickin' down some good mojo on our small low rent race effort in the 500. we need all the help we can get. [i'm pretty much already a jackhole. don't hold it against me bro.] how bout it?

[bajafox]

Im kidding of course about the fixing, but it does make you wonder...

We're going to have to assume you know how to read. The very first post says he was kidding about it being fixed.

EDIT:

Just read the rest of the thread, I became a Kyle fan the day he signed on to drive a Toyota:D his attitude still needs adjustment and kind of whines alot but when you drive the way he does, it sure makes watching NASCAR alot less boring

[DEZERTBOUND]

Wow! Only 22 post and made this many friends. Why don't you hang it up for awhile and come back once your nut's drop!

.....You are one funny hick:)

I was at the MDR race this weekend so I missed the whole show. Robby better get points this weekend or I may turn "Robby basher" too.

Who are you picking for Indy.

[randy s]

outlaws2000 gave me some neg rep and i just thought i'd let him know that if he thinks i give a crap for one second what he thinks of me, then he has an extremely over-inflated opinion of himself.

[DEZERTBOUND]

Its okay Randy.....Looks like he has been "declawed":cool:

[RGFan]

Yeah, I just gave him some neg points to return the favor

[fishd00d]

And what makes him sooooo fun to watch on dirt???


Wow its pretty obvious you have NEVER seen him in the dirt. And if you have then you are blind.

[michael_loomis]

Fish... if you have ever "seen" RG in the dirt.. then you would know even a blind guy can appreciate RG's driving skills!

(now blind AND deaf.. your screwed...) :D
