4 secs is a long time, but being that it was jeff's first time in that car on that track, i'm sure he was closer to juan's time in the F1 car than juan was in the cup car to jeff's

and when was the last time 1st-30th finished within a 3 sec interval in an f1 race??
that isht happens everytime Nextel Cup goes to Talladega Superspeedway

how about great finishes?? never happens in F1....the winner is usually an eternity ahead of 2nd

bottom line is....NASCAR is more fun to watch from a fan's point of view....great competition, side by side racing, pit strategy

F1 is a better form of motorsport for a driver, cause its the top form of racing in the world

and most ppl who think NASCAR is boring, dont have a driver to pull for...thats why its boring, to u its just 43 cars turning left

i'm a Dale Earnhardt Jr. fan, so every week, i look to see where he started, how many positions he gains during the first green flag run, how many tires he takes during pit stops, where is his teammate running, etc., the race is more for me than just cars turning left.

Actually I found the article in either car and driver or motortrend about their times. Juan actually was able to make a lap time within poll position in NASCAR, however Gordon was unable to clock a time for poll compared to f1 drivers.

Although I have seen this before I never noticed that Juan Power shifts the crap out of Jeff's car at the end of the vid. he never even touched the clutch going into third!!!! NICE!!

NASCAR cars dont use the clutch when shifting, u only need it to take off initially....every other shift can just be slammed into gear...gotta love a jericho transmission
