Yeah I thought you were someone else LOL
And thanks :) That's fine, I'll just have to ask the first prize winner for the remaining 10/15 (Who was that again?)

Shinyyyyyy

*Looks at Meganium90's blog*
:cer_blankstare:
Youuuu, you evil monster!
You had me totally tricked :(
It's nice to know you haven't left :)

EDIT: And about those Trivia answers :/ (Look below in conversation)

Well when I came back to PC after a few years of absence I decided to keep this account rather than making a new one, so I'll probably just stick with this one.

What kind of music you into?

Finished! 1 down, 5 to go x) These CPU on level Hard are not very challenging at all. They need Master Mode, like Mario Party 9 :( :( :(

I haven't seen that one in awhile though, maybe they'll play it for Halloween this week!

I refer to that as joke trolling which is cool. Well the conversation took place a while back so.

I should make an alt account Draco Meteor then I'd be the same as you but different.

Your old online alias.

LOVE that spongebob episode.

We were discussing which PC members would be a good match for me.

Meganium90 would be good for you too
because
you are both sweet
like
softies at heart

Ahaha lol
Fair enough
Never really spoken to her so.

hmm
awh you should, she's awesoommee

Pretty much.

Ahaha, no worries.

Kura says we would make a good couple. What are your thoughts with respect to such a claim?

So I think I got them all down from my head at the moment. If I think of anymore..well you know lol So uh...even though I'm writing a book on your VM's, start from the bottom on up to read it the right way x) lol the start is the Teal texts one!

So the Nationwide Series is perhaps, the next highest level behind the Cup. Nationwide is suppose to be a learning curve, the step before proving if you can hang with the big boys, the men. Lately Nationwide has been dominated by the likes of Carl Edwards, Kyle Busch & Brad Keselowski & prior to that, Kevin Harvick. I don't know why, but the series went as long as Cup, but the record cheats starts at 1982 for some reason. No one really knows why, the old timers won't even answer me about it x)

But Bobby Labonte, Joe Nemechek, Dale Earnhardt Jr, jeff Breen< Kevin Harvick, Greg Biffle, Brian Vickers, Martin Truex Jr, Carl Edwards, Clint Bowyer, Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski & Ricky Stenhouse Jr are the drivers today you know/heard of, that has won past Nationwide Championships. Kyle Busch leads the series with the most wins(51). Most laps led as well (10,817). Kyle Busch dominated the Nationwide Series, winning 10 races in 2008, 9 races & a championship in 2009, 13 races in 2010, & 8 last year tying with Carl Edwards' 8. He was in the 20 car in 2008, but the more recent years he was in the 18 car for each races he was in. Mark Martin is 2nd all time with wins, 49. Just one short of 50. Carl Edwards & Kevin Harvick both are tied & have 38 wins in 3rd all time. Right now, Kyle Busch either has to win a race to tie Mark Martin for 10 straight years of winning a race. If he doesn't, he doesn't tie. That's the price he's paying for racing his own team in the 54 car this year & having Joey Logano dominate in the 18 car, which you are loving this year as it seems lol. However, Carl Edwards has won 8 straight years & won this year already..so if he can win one next year & the following year, Carl can get that record too if he wanted to! Get him back in the 60 car! I want him to win 50 races in the Nationwide Series too! lol

Truck Series, Ron Hornaday has 52 wins, only driver to win more than 30 races. Only driver to win 4 in a row in the Truck Series, which has had done so in 2009 (He actually won 5 in a row though lol). He's the Truck King, won the championship 4 times! He's actually 400+ laps shy of reaching 10,000 laps led. I want him to do it but..the team he used to be with to dominate in no longer exists (Kevin Harvick Inc) so the new team he's with stinks right now. Only two other Truck Champions won multiple titles. Todd Bodine(2006 & 2010) & Jack Sprague(3 Time Champion). Jack Sqrague actually won the championships for Rick Hendrick. Hendrick Motorsports & Kevin Harvick Inc actually has the most championships in the Truck series, 3 apiece! ;) Not to mention, never before in the Truck series has there been a back-to-back championship! This series has only been living since 1995 though. Not very old.

Okay..So Owners are a major part of this sport. As you can see right now, Roger Penske has been around this sport for a long time. The team Brad Keselowski is racing for. Roger has never won a Cup Championship, but would kill for one. So if Brad pulls this off the next 4 races, it'll be huge for him. Not to mention Paul Wolfe is an excellent crew chief. I may really dislike Brad, but if Brad wins, I'll be glad for those two but not be happy that Brad won it x) Stewart Haas racing was newly formed back in 2009 back when Tony left the 20 car & Joe Gibbs Racing. Tony hates Toyota, he's all for GM (Chevrolet, Pontiac, etc). When Tony won the championship last year, it was the first time that an owner-driver won the championship since Alan Kulwicki back in 1992. Long time.

Okay, so instead of going into each of the past owners like the crew chiefs, I'll just point out the current & most recognized ones. Petty Enterprises won 10 championship which had been around from 1949 to 2008! LONG time! It was shut down but a new team came in, Richard Petty Motorsports. Completely different organization, but Richard Petty is only used as a figure there. But Petty Enterprises has team records that will be held for some time, but not for long. You'll read why in a bit! They have the most wins (268) top 5's (888) & laps led (60,550) as a team. Lee Petty's 3 Championship & Richard Petty's 7 Championships make up for the 10 titles. Junior Johnson won 6 championships following that, Darrell Waltrip & Cale Yaborough each 3 apiece. Yes, Junior Johnson is the same person that won 50 races as a racer himself. But as an owner, he's accomplished 132 wins by his drivers.

Richard Childress Racing, the team Kevin Harvick, Jeff Burton & Paul Menard races for in Cup. Elliott Sadler & the Dillon Brothers from Nationwide/Truck series. Richard Childress won 6 championships also, but only with Dale Earnhardt. Remember when Dale won those 6 from 1986 to 1994? Yep, been a long time since Richard Childress Racing won one. Not to mention RCR won its 100th race last year @ Talladega with Clint Bowyer. The last time they won. IN case you haven't noticed, he's all focused on the Dillon brothers in the other series. He's completely focused on them. Because they're his grandsons & is the reason why Elliott Sadler is leaving the team after this year. When Dale Jarrett won the championship in 1999, he won with Robert Yates Racing. It was a good organization, great mechanics as a team though. That's the team Elliott Sadler raced in Cup & won 3 of his 4 races in. But they don't exist anymore, much like Petty Enterprises & Junior Johnson's teams. Joe Gibbs Racing won its 100th race back in New Hampshire when Denny Hamlin won. 3 Time Owner's Championship, one with Bobby Labonte, 2 with Tony's first two Championship. Bobby drove the 18 car by the way. Denny Hamlin's dream is to actually win a championship for Joe Gibbs, so that's why it'll be a big win if Denny can pull it off one of these years.

Jack Roush, Roush Fenway Racing, I do not like. But he's only a two time Owner's Championship, Matt Kenseth & Kurt Busch in 2003/2004. As you can tell, after Matt Kenseth leaves to go to Joe Gibbs next year, Jack will have already lost his two championship drivers that made his team what it is. Mark Martin drove for him from the start in 1988 till 2006 before he left. So big history there. Jack Roush has 130 wins as an owner. Then finally, I can talk about my favorite organization ;)

Hendrick Motorsports. Mr. Rick Hendrick. YES! He's tied with Petty Enterprises for most championships with 10! Jeff Gordon's 4 titles, Jimmie Johnson's 5 titles & Terry Labonte's 1996 title. So another huge win if Jimmie can pull it off. (As you can see, any of the top 3 drivers winning this chase would be HUGE right now haha, Brad vs Jimmie vs Denny). Rick Hendrick is actually going for the records actually. He's only @ 206 wins right now, about 80 more wins to go. But 852 top 5's isn't that far behind Petty Enterprises' 888. Would love for HMS to reach 1,000 though. HMS has 56896 laps led, getting there. I'll say they'll have that laps led record in by 2015! They do have the records of most winnings ($284,113,647), lead lap finishes(1725), laps completed(886,495) top 10's(1403) & poles(187) though!

So you see why HMS is my favorite team, despite having Jeff Gordon racing there all his life & has a lifetime contract there ;)

Also, some things I want to mention about Jeff. In a single season, Jeff Gordon is tied with David Pearson for most pole awards at 6. (AKA, Most Poles in a single season) Mark Martin is going for his 5th right now unless Kasey Kahne can knock him off. If you are tied for the pole, the tiebreaker is most 2nd place starts, then a lower car #. (I find that 3rd tiebreaker stupid, but it happened with Jamie McMurray beating Kasey Kahne back in 2010, think it should be better "Average Start"). Jeff has the most wins in a single season 6 times, tied with Darrell Waltrip in Modern Era. (Richard Petty has the record for all time though). Dale Earnhardt has the most top 10 finishes in a single season in NASCAR history, @ 9. Jeff Gordon is 2nd, @ 7. Jeff Gordon is tied with Dale Earnhardt @ 6 in NASCAR history as well. Not to mention, Jeff is top 5 in most top 5's(4th), Wins(3rd), Poles(3rd). But he's 6th in Top 10s(36 behind Mark Martin for 5th) & Laps Led(Which he needs to lead 90 more laps to pass Darrell Waltrip, which I hope he does @ Martinsville. He's usually very strong there, he did led 329 laps back in April). Which the 329 laps led was the most laps in a single race led this year so far ;) Hope no one beats that this weekend lol. So out of all the drivers today..no one has led more than 400 laps in a single race besides three. Jeff Gordon(431 Laps Led @ Martinsville), Kyle Busch(415 Laps Led @ Bristol, Carl Edwards won that race) & Matt Kenseth(415 Laps Led @ Bristol). So as you can see, Jeff Gordon has accomplished more in NASCAR than people actually think he had x)

Oh yeah, he's also won a pole for 20 consecutive seasons, tied for longest with David Pearson. So winning a pole next year means he has yet, another record to hold! he's the Restrictor Plate King, passed Dale Earnhardt who had 11. Jeff now has 12. Restrictor Plate meaning, Talladega & Daytona. Though before the 80's, they didn't have Restrictor Plate (It decreases the speed, lessen the chance of bad, bad wrecks that were worst than the one you saw with Tony flipping.) Road Course King also. Most with 9, ever in NASCAR history. He's a king @ Sonoma/Infineon especially. He's the only driver to win 6 straight Road Course wins in NASCAR history, has the next best was 3 in a row. He's won inaugural tracks 3 times as well: Kansas, Fontana & Indianapolis. Go Jeff Gordon!

Okay Owner & crew chief time! Listing past crew chiefs won't be necessary, since you won't even remember or know who they are x) So I'm going to list the ones that are active today or on the booth.

For one, the most championship by a crew chief is Dale Inman, 7 with Richard Petty & 1 with Terry Labonte's first Cup. Chad Knaus has the 2nd most, with 5. Remember him? (Jimmie Johnson!) Then there's Jeff Hammond, who has two Cup Championship with Darrell Waltrip. You'll see them if you haven't watched a race on Fox yet or check the races out on youtube. (Fox broadcasts the races from Daytona 500 to Dover or so). Andy Petree won the last 2 championships with Dale Earnhardt, Ray Evernham(Best. Crew Chief. Ever) was Jeff Gordon's crew chief for his first three championships. He's the guy on the booth with Rusty Wallace, Brad Daughtery & Nicole Brisoce.

Todd Parrott still crew chief to this day, won with Dale Jarrett. Greg Zipadelli is the competition manager at Stewart-Haas Racing but crew chief Danica Patrick when she's in the 10 car for the Cup races. Greg won with Tony in 2002 & 2005, but stayed behind for Joey Logano. He left Joey Logano last year to recur the roles I just said. Because Joey wasn't a winner x) Jimmy Fennig is Matt Kenseth's crew chief right now, won with Kurt Busch. Robbie Reiser does something at a higher level @ Roush Fenway Racing. I don't remember, but he left after 2008, was Matt Kenseth's crew chief when he won though. Then Darian Grubb who is now Denny Hamlin's crew chief, won with Tony last year. So there you go for the crew chiefs. Whew lol.

Okay, so Joe Weatherly is a 2 time champion also, back to back from '62 to '63. Wanted to get him in before I move on to the owners, so I just mentioned only all the drivers to win the Cup Championship somewhere in the previous two posts lol. Just gotta read :P

Okay some things I should mention here. Tony Stewart won the 2002 championship, but Sterlin Merlin had a strong year that year and was looking very strong. But a wreck injured him & took him out of contention for a championship. Which opened the door for Tony to win his first championship in 2002. Matt Kenseth & Kurt Busch won the following two, but here's the catch. All three won in their 4th full time season. Just wow. Tony Stewart won 2005. It was in fact, a dominate summer by Tony Stewart. Leading 151 laps of 160 at the 4th of July Daytona race?? Wowzer. It was deja vu but as a different champion than earlier that season when Jeff Gordon dominated Talladega, leading 139 of 188 laps in the Yoda/Pepsi car! Both of those races, both drivers literally didn't need the bump draft assistance to move forward, that's why they were great in the old cars. The best. The COT came for 16 races in 2007 & following that Jeff Gordon has never been at his best since then. Its a shame. Hopefully the new cars next year he gets back to his fiery self. :P haha. I just want him to reach 90 wins & doubt it but, would love to see him reach 100 wins & pass David Pearson for 2nd all time.

Anyway, Tony Stewart won last year's championship tying Carl Edwards, who had a very, very strong year last year. I really want Carl Edwards to win a Cup. Class act. My favorite driver outside of the Hendrick Motorsports stable. Carl had the most points in 2008 & last year, so without the chase he would be a 2 time champion. His first full time season, in 2005, he tied Greg Biffle for 2nd (Credited for 3rd as he had fewer wins) so he literally have 3 runner-up finishes just about so far. Looking to be the next Mark Martin if he keeps this up. He's had a horrible year this year though, not performing well at all. Like I said, Jimmie won 5 times from 2006 to 2010. It was Jimmie vs Matt Kenseth in 2006, Jimmie vs Jeff Gordon in 2007(The best year anyone has ever seen by Jeff Gordon, vanished because of Jimmie's chase performance), 2008 was Jimmie vs Carl, 2009 was Jimmie vs Mark Martin, 2010 was Denny vs Jimmie while last year was Carl vs Tony. 2005 was straight up Tony. 2004 was Kurt Busch holding off the powerhouse of Jimmie & Jeff. 2004 would had be Jeff's year also without the chase. That's 6 championships D:

Anyway, Jeff Gordon won his champions before he hit age 30. 1995, 1997, 1998, 2001. He was 29 in 2001. He was the fastest driver to reach 50 wins in NASCAR history. He's tied Richard Petty for the most wins (13) in a single season in the modern era (Which began in 1972, meaning it was when NASCAR was first televised). 13 wins in 1998, but he won 10 races the previous two years, 7 before that & 7 after his 1998 season. (If you didn't get it, that's 47 wins in 5 years!) Dale Earnhardt could was nicknamed the intimidator. Meaning? He'll wreck you if you don't get out of your way. That's what NASCAR used to be, actually. But Jeff Gordon was the person who Dale couldn't intimidate, thus creating a huge rivalry among the fans. (That rivalry died now since Dale Jr hasn't really live up to expectations & Jeff..well..not winning much anymore).

As for NASCAR's Most Popular Driver. Bill Elliott has the most. But since 2003, Dale Earnhardt Jr has won the Most Popular Driver award. He's only got 19 Cup wins, & no Cup Championship. So...when I said Jeff Gordon isn't overrated, I meant it. Dale Earnhardt Jr is the guy who is. But Jr Nation, is the fan base the fans created, will literally murder you if you say one neutral thing about him. (Meaning, you have to be on the good side of the Jr Nation to be their friends, one doubt will cause dilemma lol). Remember that Nick guy on NASCAR.com? Exactly, don't piss them off haha.
