This was posted at TBK Lite. It proves that, unfortunately, the internet has always been an ugly place, even in the days before Youtube and major forums.

Jeff Gordon sure was whining after the Bud Shootout. WAH!!!!! Crying like a baby at the Awards Ceremony. WAH!!! Seems like a fussy little baby. SOMEBODY!!!!! PLEASE. Change that boy's diaper. WAH!!!! At least he didn't wreck anyone. Is it true that under that Dupont helmet, during a race, Gordon sucks on a pacifier? Dale Earnhardt will get his 8th championship before Jeff gets his 3rd.

Looks like lil goldennuts gordon couldnt play with the big boys and not cry about it.. Tables were turned and this time he went out (at Richmond)....boo hoo. Now that Rusty is back in the game Gordon should get ready for some real competition (and yes that will mean picking the concrete from his teeth from time to time...remember the good ol days...that's where Rusty was taught by the man...DALE..AMEN)

FORDS DOMINATE IN 97 AND THEY ARE KICKING A$$ IN 98. 13 OF THE TOP 14 CARS IN VEGAS WERE FORDS AND ROUSHE'S TEAM, ALL 5 IN THE TOP TEN. GUESS YOU HENDRIX'S BOYS BUILD RUBBER-BAND ENGINES. ALSO, CHECK OUT RUSTY AND BILL ELLIOT, KICKING SOME A$$ IN 98. AS FOR EARNHART, HOW MUCH DID YOU HAVE TO PAY OFF NASCAR OFFICIALS TO WIN THE DAYTONA 500. NO WAY IN HELL YOU DESERVE THAT RACE, AND EVEN THE CHEVY DRIVERS KNOW THAT. AND THE WONDER CHICKEN, BOY WONDER. TAKE YOUR SCRAWNEY ASS BACK TO THE PITS, YOU AIN'T GOT IT IN 98. GO ROUSHE RACING GO BILL ELLIOT AND SAY GOODBYE TO THE CONSTIPATOR(3) AND THE FLEE BITTEN CHICKEN BOY(24).

I agree with the guy who said that all of you #24 FANS should get a spine and pick someone that you will stay with because if he don't start winning soon he will be out like last weeks paper and you will pull for someone else. BESIDES LADIES YOUR NOT HIS TYPE, BUT THE MEN WHO LIKE HIM ARE. - always#3fan4life
i dont have any problems any driver that wins. but if we dont get bill france out of the car building business, we will soon just have another iroc sieres. i say give the mfgs the specs. and let them build to race or not, thier choice. as it is now bill france is trying to control who wins. even though jeff gordon spoils his plans at times

That's pretty much expected there, although I'm happy to admit that it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be. The management team at TBK-lite has done a good job to control the rubbish that used to pollute the site constantly. Sadly it's the NASCAR threads that still seem to be affected though.

Although, after the Indycar race at Sonoma yesterday, one member who was unhappy at Tagliani threw a strop saying that not only had Tagliana almost killed Zanardi he's also now cost RHR the title. Idiot.

I skipped the Cup race, and since it was won by Hamlin, I'm glad I did. However, the modified and truck races were very good! I like the racing at Bristol again!

There's a reason why I avoid the F1 threads there, the NASCAR ones are nowhere near as idiot polluted, just trashy.

It is now official: Kenseth is going to JGR next year to step into the #20 car.
Logano is moving to the #22 car of Penske.

I'm happy for Kenseth but don't care much for Logano. Over hyped and average. But now Danica's in NASCAR so the media can focus on a different sideshow.

To clarify kals, those weren't actual TBK Lite quotes. They're from a chat wall at some ancient website dating back to 1998, which I stumbled upon through the Wayback Machine and posted it at TBK Lite for fun:

On another note, it's kinda depressing to see all that heated trash-talking between Ford and Chevy fans, considering the sameness of the cars nowadays.

Only the last 40 laps were quite exiting.

A lot of chase guys were struggling this race. Jeff Gordon crashed, Matt Kenseth lost a RF shock, Biffle was nowhere the whole race. Hamlin also had issues the last few laps.

I don't see much of a difference to this year, to tell you the truth, if there is any.

And that's it. In other words not much of a change at all. However, the Trucks are going to a couple of new tracks, possibly South Boston, Myrtle Beach and Mid-Ohio. If they do, it would be awesome.
