Time to get it going again.
Just a little over a month til the Bud Shootout.
Lots of driver changes for the new season.

Any Fantasy League?
Ballbuster1
01-06-2006, 11:52 PM
Definately. I want to hear from the fans about that.
I've played them in the Nascar leagues and on Yahoo.
Whatever the majority would like we'll go with.
I prefer the Yahoo racing myself.
I'll start a new thread in the fantasy leagues forum
and we can vote on it.

I'd go for a fantasy league this year.
Things I'm looking to see for this year:
Truex possibly out running Jr., and on that note, will Jr. or Jeff Gordon pull out of their funk first?
Roush re-dominance or a total crash and burn by some drivers (sophmore syndrome on Edwards, McMurray not pulling his weight)?
How many races Waltrip makes since Bill Davis has no owner points to fall back on/how soon they announce Toyota as their car for '07 or '08?
Will Loomis and LaBonte bring a new life to Petty Enterprises?
What wacky new rules will NASCAR come up with this year?
And of course...
Is the race on FOX, NBC, TNT, ABC or ESPN this week damnit??
I personally wish that they'd drop NBC/TNT and let FOX take it all, or maybe give ABC some of it depending on what kind of crew they have calling the races this year. The only good thing about NBC/TNT calling this past year's races was I really think there was some tension brewing that could have turned into one of those ABC7 morning news/"muhlanianauss" type moments.

01-07-2006, 03:49 AM
The ESPN/ABC deal doesnt take affect until 2007, so it's pretty much the same this year as it has been for the last few seasons.
Great point about Mikey's 55 team, he has the owners points from the 23 team last year (basically none), so he is really gonna have to step up the qualifying effort.
I am pulling for Mark, Bobby Labonte, and Truex Jr this year...I hope they can all get it done. Especially Bobby/Kyle/Robbie and PE. I would love to see them get some of their glory back.

*ahem* I think I speak for many of us here when I say... fuckthatshit. Hopefully him and his whiny lil' bro get wiped out first lap at Daytona.
15 = no more Mikey Waltrip there, gally. Teresa wouldn't let him take the number to Bill Davis Racing. Hopefully he can make it work early and quickly to stay in the races. It'll be tough with no dealer support from Dodge. I got a bad feeling either Mikey's gonna break out and kick ass... or it's gonna be a loooooooooooong year looking foreward to Toyota's debut.

Before the Bud Shootout starts off the Nascar season I like to catch
the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona. A bunch of Nascar drivers will be
competing in this race.
You'll get to see Rusty drive the #2 Pontiac Crawford along with
Danica Patrick, Boris Said and Allan McNish.
Smoke will be driving one of the Crawfords along with Andy Wallace
and Butch Leitzenger.
Other drivers expected to participate are Bobby Labonte, Jimmy Johnson,
Kurt Busch, Casey Mears and Randy LaJoie.
Should be fun to watch.

I watched it for the free preview period. It was different, but I couldn't
see paying for it. About all it was really good for was watching the

Sirius bails as the sponsor at Watkins Glen.
Sirius is in a high-stakes battle with rival XM Satellite Radio to build programming and subscribers in hopes of becoming profitable some day. The company, which in October 2004 signed Stern to a long-term deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars, said in a recent regulatory filing that at the end of September it had accumulated a loss of $2.4 billion.

Michael Waltrip Racing / Bill Davis Racing team up with Jasper Motorsports
BDR #55 team with Waltrip as driver will use #77's 2005 owner points
As a long-time fan of Mikey's (from way back in the Bahari Racing days)..this is great news, as Michael's new 55 NAPA Dodge didn't have enough owner points to guarantee a start in the first 5 races of the upcoming season.

Hemi engines were banned by Nascar back then and I don't think the
rules have changed on that one. The approved block/head design is the
one that was the foundation for the 340 motor. They can max it out
to 358 CID.
The current Hemi, while small enough in displacemant, has not been
approved for use yet and I doubt it will be for now.

The COT isn't too bad, it at least looks like a stock car. My biggest complaint is that they're putting a riceboy wing on it.

It's my understanding that most of the body parts will share
common templates. There will probably be minor front or rear
view differences so you can identify a perticular make, but
they will probably be pretty much the same.
Beeman99
01-26-2006, 03:34 AM
with the COT it's going to start feeling like the IROC series, or at least very close to it. I like the fact Nascar is making everything safer, but it's going to get damn boring watching everyone on the exact same playing field, where it is more luck than anything that gets the win. Have to wait and see, still another year away, and if I recall it's only going to be in certain races that the COT is used in '07

I had read that before. I don't agree with them using it mainly at short tracks. Go to where the majority of pile ups and injuries occur. Daytona, Dega, Lowes, and Bristol would be the main ones I'd look at. Phoenix is good, Martinsville is another good one to test at, narrow track, see how the wider cars do on it.

Good for Mears. It's a shitty deal that they took him out of the 41 right when they started to show they could win any race. The 42 team is a good team, but I hope it doesn't take too long for the chemistry to form like it had last year for him on the 41.

This is a big mistake for Mikey, his Busch team isn't that good, and starting a new cup team is a brain cramp for him. DEI wanted him out, which didn't bother me, he's a good guy, an ok driver, but his time is gone(even though he would have won a few races last year if not for shitty luck) and he should just stick with an established org. It would be like Schrader starting his own cup team, good guy, not bad driver, but time is gone.

Impound rules relaxed but not dead:
Fewer Impound Races In 2006
The NASCAR impound rule is not dead yet, but the number of races where it will be used will be drastically reduced for 2006. NASCAR will impound the Nextel Cup cars at five races in 2006: Both Talladega events, both Richmond events, and the Pepsi 400 at Daytona.
The impound rule was used at 21 of the 36 races in 2005. Neither of the Talladega events was an impound race last year. The rule was consistently criticized throughout the year as vastly different weekend schedules led to confusion and large amounts of downtime. An impound race usually featured two Friday practices and Saturday Bud Pole Qualifying instead of the traditional Friday Bud Pole Qualifying and Saturday practices.

Here's a suggestion. Watch as much Speed Channel this weekend and week as you can. Watch the "rain out" shows and you will get to see a lot of the drivers joking around and cutting up. This might help you to get to know the drivers a little better. After that, pick about 3 or 4 to keep up with during the practices and races.
Also, check out qualifing , the shoot-out on Sunday and the 125's on Thursday afternoon. The annoucers throw out a lot "For you new fans" and explain alot of terms and let you know whats going on.
Finally, join the Wackbag Fanasty League.
Hope this helps out.:action-sm

It's a tv show for the Speed network that's live from the track,
usually on the Friday night before the race. Since the Daytona 500
pre-race stuff lasts all week, the show goes live on 4 days.
SPEED NETWORK PAGE HERE (http://speedtv.com/programs/308/)
They set up a mobile stage and broadcast before a live audience
and encourage fans to bring signs to hold up whenever they pan the
cameras over the audience.

Is the race on FOX, NBC, TNT, ABC or ESPN this week damnit??
I personally wish that they'd drop NBC/TNT and let FOX take it all, or maybe give ABC some of it depending on what kind of crew they have calling the races this year. The only good thing about NBC/TNT calling this past year's races was I really think there was some tension brewing that could have turned into one of those ABC7 morning news/"muhlanianauss" type moments.
I gotta agree. Everyone I talk to says that FOX rules for Nascar (and football) coverage and I HATED it last year when Fox handed everything over to NBC/TNT in the middle of the season. No personalities on NBC and they talk like morning zoo crew DJs

And how about those post-race comments by Smoke & Junior? I'm pretty sure everyone was thinking it, but you got to love the fact Tony tells it like it is. Nascar is going to have to address RP racing sooner or later. I hope it isn't at the cost of another driver's life...

Schrader has proven he can drive the wheels off anything he gets in. Granted, I'm not saying he will win a race this year, BUT HE WILL STEP IT UP A NOTCH OR TWO. Not to mention, he will be a good "c" driver down the road. And as far as next year in the trucks(yes , he did say last year he would go full time in one), He will be just like the many cup-to-truck-drivers who WILL dominate in the series.

Anything with Will Ferrel is really fuckin' stupid. He's another SNL regect that is as funny as catching aids from a chinese trannie. The best Nascar movie ever was the IMAX one, and that was a fucking documentry. People still treat Nascar as some redneck hillbilly function when in fact it is the most popular sport in america, gaining strength up here in Canada, and is the most exciting form of motorsports out there.

Scott Riggs misses the race in his new ride, not a good way to start the season that has been anticpated as his break-out year.
Expect Valvoline to show up on one of the unsponsored cars that just made it in.
good luck, bro.

Glad to see R Gordon race his way in this year, shitty for Riggs though. Again though it's going to be Hendricks, DEI, Roush or Yates that wins it, and my money is on DEI this year. Junior looks good, and I can see only Sadler or Fag Gordon possibly beating him this year

I think he will. He has new, young, talented teammates(nothing against Mikey, but still), he's more confident this year than I've ever seen, and he's got a crew chief he can work with. Proof came today, the car was super tight, they came and pitted, and he came in a strong third. I think he could've passed Sadler if Edwards hadn't cut him off.

He said Tony is probably right about the bump drafting. And yes Kenseth that boring un exciting peice of shit just couldn't handle being passed at the end so he almost had to take Truex Jr. out.....what a dickhead move.

Ward screwed himself by sitting out that year, it's going to tough for him to get back in with the rush of young drivers, although if Stremme or Sorenson don't work out I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a call. I don't know how someone like Bootie can work on Nascar Performance with that shitdick Knaus.

I don't see Sorenson getting kicked out of his ride yet, but i would be shocked if Yeley lasts the year. That's a ride that Ward would be great for, although I would like Rudd to come back and that is the ride I would love to see him in. Just a pipe dream though.

Rudd's done, he still has the skill but after last year I don't think his heart is in it anymore. Forgot about Yeley, I'm with you, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets the boot, and Ward would look good there.
I wonder what Mark Martin was so pissed about after the race? I know he hates plate racing but when they were interviewing Kenseth Mark came over and was trying to talk to Matt about Smoke I'm sure, but when NBC asked Mark for comment he said he had none and walked away.

Mark probably didn't want to go on record as saying anything against Smoke, but behind closed doors just say to Kenseth that smoke's an ass for what he did, shake it off, 25 races to go before the chase and plenty of time to get 'em back.
Don't forget, Mark was also planning on being retired this year, and while it's nice he had another chance to win the 500, he didn't and he still has another 35 races to put up with (driver and corporate) craziness of NASCAR.

Where are the owners and drivers points??? Labonte and Hall of Fame racing both lost points for the carb violation, so why didn't the Lowes team and Ricky boy lose points as well. Must be nice to be able to suck Nascars cock for special treatment.
Sutsu
02-22-2006, 08:29 AM
I think the basis behind the no points loss is the fact that Terry's car used an illegal part, while JJ's car used legal parts that made for an illegal condition and it didn't line up with the templates at the end. Not that I want to defend the guy, but it is different.
Besides, Joe Gibbs should get some heat from this too since they gave Labonte that engine.

With the technology that's available these days, 4 races isn't as big an issue as it used to be. Last year on ESPN, they showed Ricky Rudd's crew chief run a race from his house after he had back surgery. He used the TV broadcast, the nascar.com trackpass and the nextel walkie-talkie to pretty much tell his crew what to adjust on the car and fix the car after getting caught in an accident. What's to stop Knaus or any other suspended crew chief from doing that? And 25K for a penalty after winning 1.5 million for the 500 is a mere bag o'shells.

I don't buy that. Junior gets 25 points for swearing or purposly spinning out, Harvick got nailed for points last year when Barrier fucked up, JJ should've been nailed as well. If they want to send a message to the teams this isn't how to do it. Suspending the crew chief doesn't mean shit, Harvick and JJ won without theirs. Fine the team and driver points as well as the money and suspension. Nacar is creating a mess for themselves by doing this.

Yep! I think Labonte's penalty is more severe. Like was said above, Knaus can still be in contact with his team during the race. Labonte and HOF racing are just starting out so those owner points are very valuable to them. To be penalized for a mistake from the "manufacturer" (Gibbbs) seems pretty harsh.
Sutsu
02-23-2006, 12:28 AM
HOF Racing doesn't have to worry about owner points until a few races in since Labonte is a former champ and is guaranteed to get into the race as long as he's the driver and can rack up owner points for the team. Granted, the penalty doesn't help them out and JGR should shoulder some of the penalty, but it's not the end of the world.
Also, I'm not 110% sure how owner points works (and even without knowing I'll lay odds on it being a stupid ass concept 'cause so far as I know, even a slow as shit Roush car could get in before a speedy Robby Gordon car just because Roush owns 5 cars) but even if you did jack owner points from Hendrick, since he has 4 cars in most all the races he's not gonna notice them. Only a small team would, the driver points would be a better punishment if you really wanted to hit JJ.

And you know Knauss will be in contact with the Lowes team. I'm amazed there were no owners or drivers points taken away. I would've taken at least 35 points from JJ to make an example of him showing Nascar won't put up with this shit from anyone.
In other news, Kurt Busch has to be loving this, he's no longer the most hated man in Nascar./
medium_rare
02-23-2006, 02:09 AM
Sutsu, owner points go by the car number, not by the collective teams that one guy like Roush or Hendrick owns. That's why there is a top 35 rule for qualifying even though those cars are really owned by 10-11 organizations.
Last year for instance, the 20 car(Stewart) owned by Gibbs ended the year 1st in owner points while the 11 car(Leffler/T Labonte/Yeley/Hamlin/Etc) also owned by Gibbs was 31st/32nd in owner points.
So hypothetically if a Roush driver besides Kenseth(past champ) shits the bed in the 1st 5 races and is below the top 35, he'll have to qualify on time like the other low budget and part time teams.
Sutsu
02-23-2006, 08:40 AM
Ok, that does make a little more sense now... still don't like the system... I still think it should just flat out be the fastest cars on qualifying w/a former champ thrown in...
Ballbuster1
02-23-2006, 08:45 AM
I agree. The system rewards the teams that spend big money. It makes
it harder for the smaller teams to make the show. Strange, since Nascar
is always talking about ways to contain costs for teams.
Deadhead
02-23-2006, 10:42 PM
I found this over on Jayski, It did help me understand a little better
Points penalty
Last March at Las Vegas, #29 crew chief Todd Berrier welded the fuel filler so it looked like it was full of fuel when it wasn't.
Two weeks ago at Daytona, the Hall of Fame Racing's #96 car qualified with an unapproved carburetor.
According to NASCAR, those two infractions warranted not only a fine but a reduction of 25 driver and owner points because the fuel filler and the carburetor were absolutely unapproved parts. NASCAR was able to walk over to the car and confiscate those pieces, and their use was premeditated. The pieces were specifically made to skirt NASCAR's rules.
No points penalty
Last fall during qualifying at Talladega, Berrier and the #29 team had some trap doors in the trunk that weren't properly sealed off. The shocks were open when they were supposed to be closed. And some hose clamp that holds the fuel-filler pipe in place came loose. The next thing you know, Kevin Harvick's car had air underneath the car, going up through the trunk and escaping out a hole in the back of the tail light. In that instance, no unapproved parts or pieces were used.
During Daytona 500 qualifying this year, crew chief Chad Knaus and the #48 team put a sleeve over the trackbar adjuster. Like the #29 car at Talladega last fall, all of those parts and pieces were still part of the car that they raced in the Daytona 500.
so....Points penalty: In simple terms, here's the pattern. If you maliciously put something on a car that's made or machined, and it's an unapproved piece that can be confiscated, the team will be fined, the crew chief will be suspended and the driver and owner will lose 25 points.
No points penalty: If you take something that's already on the car and use it to beat the spirit of the rule, then it warrants a suspension and a fine, but it does not warrant the loss of 25 driver and owner points

They are not saying what the banned substance was that he tested positive for, just as they didn't say last time, but they made him go through counseling last time, so I doubt it was a cold medicine (which drivers can't take so many hours before getting in the car), you don't go through counseling for that.
I looked thru tons of articles I found by googling his name but to

Johnson Wins in Las Vegas
Johnson edges out Kenseth on the final lap to win the
UAW-DamilerChrysler 400. A late caution brought on
a late shoot-out with Kenseth unable to hold off JJ to
the finish line. Kyle Bush, Kasey Kahne & Jeff Gordon
rounded out the top 5. JJ stays on top of the points
with this win and Matty moves up to 2nd place.

What pisses me off is that he raced good all day, made his way to 13th, and then sped onto pit road while UNDER CAUTION! I know it was a mistake but it was a 40 point mistake, instead of being 5,6 or 7 he's in 11th. Good race all around and I can't wait for Atlanta. Not happy JJ won though, my uncle was at the race and I'm not going to hear the end of it.

Its 3 races into the season....Hendrick has always done well in the begining of the season especially JJ but he can't seem to finish on top at the end of the year. And Gordon can't seem to find his way back to the Championship podium since a lot of this new young talent has come along. Long way to go but I wouldn't say you can't stop a team just 3 races in.

He should. The next few tracks could be good for the Bud team. He's had a good start to the year so things should only get better from here on out. I'm a little worried about smoke though. He's letting his temper get the better of him and he's 19th in points. It's still early to worry too much into it, but if he keeps letting his emotions take over it's going to be a long year for him.

Slim to none chance and slim just left the building. Lowe's would never allow that on the car. I could see XM sponsoring one of the Toyota's coming into NASCAR next year and perhaps having a WOW decal on either the back bumper or the rear quarter panels. Or maybe an associate sponsor with a cool primary sponsor like Jim Beam or Jack Daniels that caters to adults more than kids...Remember it's all about the children.(Yeeech!)

That's bullshit though. He's still one of the most skilled drivers in the sport. He had shitty equipment last year and the new aero package killed him and JGordon. He's had a good start to the year and I can't see any reason why he won't win 4 races this year. I do think though that he will never win a championship driving a DEI car.

That would be awsome. Seeing as how much he's been on the show lately he should do it. He won't though. You can tell even when he's on the show he's still corperate Jimmy. He says all the right things and hardly breaks character. Now Dale Jr. on the other hand had me rolling that day he was on. One of the first words out of his mouth was "horseshit" when Opie said they were huge Nascar fans. He knew they were full of it. I wonder if he's a fan of the show. It seems like his kinda stuff.

Definately not giving up. He's going to have a better season than he had last year. Every driver has a shitty week here and there. The past two weeks usually suck for him. He ran really well these last two races. It was just one mistake that killed it for him a Vegas. Mistakes happen. He's gonna get some wins this year. No worries.

Bodine is running well too. He probably will win the Championship this year seeing as how he has the strongest program running the full series. When they went 4 wide I was loving it. I was amazed when Mark and Todd were sideways. I thought for sure there was gonna be a pile up. Great bunch of racing. I was really hoping there wouldn't have been a green white checker finish. I think it would have made for a more exciting finish. Still a great race though. I think you're absolutely right. The truck series is some of the best racing on the ciruit. Very entertaining.

Carl Edwards hops up to the top 5, then spins out Dave Blaney on pit road and the problems ensue. Denny Hamlin is up in the lead and has a top 10 going until he has to make an unplanned green flag stop. Luckily Reed finished 10th to salvage anything. 141 pts for the weekend, I don't think I could intentionally be that bad the rest of the year.

Poor pussy J Gordon, you got wrecked by Kenseth at the end, what about you wrecking Truex. He is such a pussy piece of shit, love how when Kenseth came over to talk to him he gives him a shot with his helmet on still, real brave on Gordan's part.
Too bad Junior finished 11th, still puts him in 6th in the points but he had a top 7 car all day.

I think Truex was helping out Smoke. He dosent like the fag boy for 1, second he spun him out like 10 laps prior. I think he was pushin the 24 to the top to let smoke get by. Smoke ya fucked up sir.
Smoke was impatient, but on a track like this shit happens fast and with Fag Gordon and Truex fighting he took advantage of it. All I could think when Truex was pinching Gordon was please let the 24 wreck.

BUSCH WINS IN BRISTOL
Rubberhead put the bump & run on Kenseth in the final laps to put
the Blue Deuce in victory lane. A caution filled race including a red
flag to clean up a big spill highlighted the day. Lots of beat up cars
and drivers with Kenseth & Jeff Gordon in a shoving match at the end.
More than a few drivers will be in the Nutcar trailer for this one.
Matty walks away from the race with the points lead, barring any
points fines being levied by Nascar.

I don't think Smoke wanted to get involved in Gordon's and Truex's mess. He knew if Truex took out Gordon he would be crashed too.....so he took matters into his own hands. I understand that Truex was mad at Gordon, but you can't go messing around with the top 5 cars when you are laps down. So much for you can't stop Hendrick huh shucker? hahahaha. What a puss Gordon is bringing his helmet to a fight. I hate Kenseth and him both but Kenseth would kick the shit out of Gordon.
Oh and how many other people were hoping Harvick would get a run on Busch....that would've been great. I hate the Busch brothers. Fuckin' arragont lil shits.
Anyway Smoke into the top 10. Can't wait til he turns it on in mid summer like he is known to do.

Well the American Family Association is still hard at work...looks like they are trying to get Fox into some deep shit because of "shit" going over the airwaves on sunday.
From The American Family Assc. Email
This past Sunday afternoon, Fox network broadcast the NASCAR "Food City 500" race. During the course of the race, driver Martin Truex, Jr. crashed his car after being bumped by another driver.
Fox network aired a conversation between Truex and his crew chief, Kevin Manion. During the course of the conversation, Manion told his driver, "We missed the set-up today. It (the car) was a piece of s**t.
Fox had been warned about allowing the "s" word on the air. The network could have used a delay and bleeped the profanity. But they chose not to. The network chose to air the segment live. Millions of viewers, including children, were offended by the crude profanity.
Also, please forward this to your family and friends. Together, we can make a difference!
Take Action
Here is your opportunity to make the networks more sensitive to your concern. The FCC is willing to fine the stations, but viewers must complain! Please file a complaint with the FCC against Fox stations for the broadcast of indecent language.

Gordon fined $10,000 and put on probation until August 30 ....umm yeah 2006...WOW don't be too hard on him. Fuckin' NASCAR.

Jeff Gordon says the person that NASCAR fined $10,000 on Tuesday for shoving Matt Kenseth after Sunday's race at Bristol Motor Speedway is closer to who he is than what fans have seen.
Gordon, also placed on probation until Aug. 30, 2006, took a two-handed jab at Kenseth on pit road when Kenseth approached him to explain the bump that sent the four-time Nextel Cup champion from third place to 21st on the final lap.

I didn't think what he did was that big of a deal, and he got what was deserving of the situation. He didn't punch Kenseth, and he even pussied out and left his helmet on. I can't stand the whole Hendrick's org, but I don't think Gordon should've gotten more than he did.

Schrader Book Released: Motorsports publisher Coastal 181 has announced the release of GOTTA RACE!, the autobiography of popular Nextel Cup driver Ken Schrader. The book was written with Joyce Standridge and includes forewords by Rick Hendrick and Bones Bourcier. GOTTA RACE! is the latest in Coastal 181’s series of race driver biographies, which has included RICHIE! (Richie Evans), BUGSY! (Bugsy Stevens), They Called Me ‘The Shoe’ (Ken Shoemaker), and Life Wide Open (Dave Dion).
Ken Schrader is a four-time Winston Cup winner and three-time pole sitter at the Daytona 500, currently driving for the famed Wood Brothers/JTG Racing team in the #21. Schrader is also America’s acknowledged Prince of the Short Tracks – race anywhere, anytime – on dirt or asphalt, in Nextel Cup, sprint car, midget or dirt late model.
GOTTA RACE! recounts 35 years of racing adventures, told in Schrader’s own distinctive voice to Standridge, a nationally known racing columnist. The book covers all of Schrader’s career – from his beginnings in the 1970s at tiny St. Louis-area bullrings, to wild open-wheel rides around the country, to the glamour of Indianapolis and Daytona. The author also shares an intimate look at family life, his views on racing today, and thoughts on how to get started in racing. A successful entrepreneur who now owns tracks in Missouri and Kentucky, Schrader talks about the business side of racing and his plans for the future, once he hangs up his Nextel Cup helmet.
GOTTA RACE! also provides insight into Schrader’s many racing relationships. One chapter is devoted to his friendships with luminaries like Dale Earnhardt, Sr. and Jr., Richard Petty, Tony Stewart, Cale Yarborough, and many others. The book is packed with 350 photographs, both dramatic and touching, that serve as a personal history of the past 35 years of the sport. It also includes 59 pages of Schrader’s race records, detailing his races from 1971 – 2005, listing date, track, type of car, car owner, race winner, Schrader’s finish, and comments about the race.
GOTTA RACE! is destined to be a precedent-setting, historic book about one of the raciest men of our times. Soft-cover with 320 pages, it is available at $23.95 plus $6.00 shipping and handling. To order, call Coastal 181 toll free at 877-907-8181 or online at www.coastal181.com
I've always been a fan of Kenny's, I'll wait until I find this at Borders.
Racing is this guy's life. He's constantly at some little bullring during the on and off-season.
He's a psychopath as far as racing goes, much like Robby Gordon.
Except he doesn't have that "arrogant asshole" stigma around him like Robby does.
I like books too. Surprised?

Nice to see Smoke win, he worked the shit out of JJ there with about 20 left which will give the people who hate Smoke more reason to hate him, but all in all a great race today.

Newman fucked Junior's chance at a win today is all he did. I like how in the post race shit Junior tried to lay the blame equally but Newman cut down on him in the corner plain and simple. If it wasn't Newman's fuckup then his spotter needs to be replaced. The only thing Newman has going for him is the fact that his wife is one fine piece of ass.

That's the best Martinsville race I've seen in a long long time though, and is it just me or does Junior look like a championship team. They fucked up at Vegas, but other than that they've overcome trouble in every race and posted good finishes in all the races (vegas was a top 12 race before the speeding on pit road). It'll be a fight between Gordon, Smoke, JJ, Junior, Kenseth, and I hate to say it but Kyle Busch for the championship this year.

Agreed, I really got pissed yesterday at them when they kept giving Gordon praise for coming back from a flat that did no damage. Junior came back from being wrecked, damn near going a lap down what, 3 times, and then getting wrecked again, it was only after Newman hit him that they started to make any mention about it. Just think how bad it'll be when NBC starts showing the races, that's worse than Fox could ever be.

You've got that right. If people don't know by now they don't care. Stop telling us all the damn time.

I'm not surprised that the 26 made a change, McMurray and Fenning never clicked, but I am surprised that Bob Osborne was taken off the 99 team.

i read that earlier and was quite surprised they moved osborne also, it seemed like him and edwards clicked well.
i'm not a big jamie mcmurray fan, i think he's an overated hack.
same with jack rousch, i hope all of his teams fail miserably, and can't stand it when they do well. i was pissed a few years back when kenseth one him his first title.

This was posted on Jayskis website. Pretty interesting.
One of the Manufacturers pulling out of NASCAR? an autoextremeist.com column is reporting that: It has come to our attention that serious discussions are taking place for the first time in the conference rooms of one domestic manufacturer in particular on a subject heretofore unthinkable in Detroit. The subject? Pulling out of NASCAR. Yes, it has been mentioned before, and I have predicted it for months now - ever since the announcement was made that Toyota would be buying its way into the France family circus - but we have confirmation that not only are the discussions taking place, they're so far down the road that a timetable for a pullout has been created, taking into account the end dates of existing contracts with individual racing teams currently aligned with this particular manufacturer. This Detroit manufacturer has decided that if it competes in motorsports in the future, it will only compete in three basic areas: 1. In production-based racing series that by rule and specification retain more than a passing resemblance to the cars they sell and the competitors they compete against in showrooms. 2. "Technical" efforts, in other words, engine programs for open-wheel and prototype racing series, but stopping short of Formula 1. And 3. Developing an effort to compete for the overall victory at Le Mans. Any other efforts, grass-roots racing, drag racing, etc., would be covered as the need and budget allow.(in part....see full article at autoextremeist.com, note: thr article doesn't say which manufacturer COULD be leaving [Chevy, Dodge, Ford] and this column will only be up a few days), Peter M. DeLorenzo, who owns and writes for the site has been on Speed Channel's Wind Tunnel a few times and tends to be controversal and a bit anti-NASCAR, however doesn't tend to just post stuff for the sake of posting it and has a lot of sources.(4-20-2006)
What are your guys thoughts on this?

I wouldn't be suprised if one of the big three pulled. I would be suprised if it was Chevy, since they've been a staple in NASCAR for so long and a vast majority of the teams run the bowtie. If Ford left, it would be a big letdown since Roush is pretty dominant in their own right. Dodge? Well, they haven't made much of an impact in NASCAR since coming back, so I would place them on the endangered species list. Especially since one of the gripes is how the production car looks nothing like the NASCAR model (IE the Charger that looks like more like an Intrepid).

I'm thinking the same thing. My guess would be Dodge although of the 3 automakers they seem to be in the best shape moneywise. Chevy is in the worst shape and Ford is a close second. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Does anyone else think that Nascar needs to do something about the Buschwackers. Not one Busch regular has won a race yet. Its been all Cup series regulars. Its fun to see them race but it just doesn't seem fair to the young guys. On that note Congrats to Harvick. 2 wins in a row.
Sutsu
04-22-2006, 11:00 AM
I wouldn't be suprised if they did something about them, but no matter what you do you'd have people complaining. If you made the series for regulars only, you'd lose the cup guys who don't run both series and you'd lose a lot of that young guns vs old hands feeling that they try to give the Busch series. If you limit how many times a year Nextellers can race in a Busch series or only a certain ammount of Nexttellers can qualify for the race, you'd just have them join the series for a full season and magically fail to qualify or some such.

I think the main reason Nascar is dodging the issue is because when the cup guys run it draws fans. If they took them out most fans wouldn't give a shit about the Busch series which is really sad, I enjoy watching all 3 series.

Maybe there will be fewer BuschWhackers once they go to the car of tomorrow. Hopefully they'll keep the Busch cars the same so that there is an obvious difference between the Cup and Busch cars besides wheelbase, spoiler, and carburetor. I'd like to see Cup drivers inside the top 35 in points and over 2 seasons(70 starts) in Cup to be limited to 8-10 races. I don't mind the Cup rookies like Bowyer, Hamlin, Sorenson, etc running full seasons but when Harvick is running the full slate and Biffle, Kenseth, and several others are running 20+ races is ridiculous. They could also change the schedule so a few more Busch races are at different tracks from the Cup series.

My solution would be this:
If you are a Cup Series Rookie, you can run the full Busch schedule during your rookie season. Any other Cup regulars that are non rookies are allowed a maximum of 5 Busch races and 5 NCTS races in a calender year. The only problem with this is the fact that Nascar likes the Buschwackers as they draw fans to the Busch races. If they didn't have them attendance would be close to what the trucks get, which would kill the busch series. Promoters wouldn't have a desire for them, and sponsers would pull out. There is no easy solution but I don't see Nascar doing anything about it anytime soon. I can guarantee though that it'll be a cup regular that wins the Busch series this year(easy prediction I know, but it'll be a long time before we see a Busch regular aka Truex winning it again).

Jr just got fucked by lapped traffic (Petty) and then had a shit car the rest of the race. He ran in the top ten all day until that though. When Newman crashed I cheered, like I've said, his wife is hot but his is a shitdick that will never win the championship.

The DEI cars are running special schemes this weekend. The 1 and 8 cars in Cup and the 8 and 11 cars in Busch are going to look like Dale's old #3 to honor his induction into the Int'l Motorsports Hall of Fame in Talladega. Here's the jayski paint scheme link. It's gonna look pretty neat this weekend, especially if any of them end up in victory lane.

I thought that all the 1 and 8 and the 15(if he qualifies) are in the cup race, and the 8 and 11 are in the busch race all running the Dale Sr scheme.

JR GETS THE WIN IN VA
After a long dry spell Dale Jr goes to Victory Lane. He held off
a hard charging rookie, Denny Hamlin to win the Crown Royal 400.
Harvick had the fastest car for most of the race, but lost the lead
late in the race with some poor pit strategy and a car that seems
to just not be as good at the end. Greg Biffle was 4th with Kyle
Busch coming across the line 5th.
Jimmy Johnson remains on top of the points with Smoke now in 2nd
due to another top 10 run.

I think Smoke is great and is a helluva driver but it does piss me off a bit when he feels someone does something to him their a shitty driver, but if he does something it's his way of telling them how to race, which is bullshit. Look at Jr, he bumps Harvick trying to pass him, gets on the radio and apoligizes and drops back to fouth for a run at it later on.

Yeah it is Jeff. Can't stand either Busch though. Even though Kyle is a Hendrick driver, I still don't like him. I do like Johnson, but that is mainly because I was a manager for Lowe's when he got the ride with Hendrick. As a Gordon and Hendrick fan, it was natural. My 8 year old likes Johnson as well, so I pull for him.

Dover's pretty cool. Only been there once, but I like it a bit more than Pocono only because they seem to have more stuff to do outside the track before the race starts, between the teams trailers and such as well as the Dover Downs slot machines. You can get REAL close to the track and just about feel how fast they go depending on where your tickets are.
