The Official NASCAR Fan Thread- Texas Motor Speedway, TX (04/06/08) Race 7

[Sinsightful]

Irish Flyers, no one commended J.J. for complaining about bumpdrafting last year because he caused three wrecks in the four Plate-races. A fact he finally admitted during a Speedweeks interview.
Knaus is hands down the smartest and dumbest crew chief in the garage at the same time..........he is always finding ways to make the car faster and still he goes about it in a way that seems to beg to be caught. Templates are the easiest way to get caught and he's failed them how many times???? I don't pretend to say others don't try, it just seems they know how to hide it better.
The whole fact that no points were taken away speaks volumes of how Nascar really should have a sponser decal on Jimmie Johnson France's hood.
Knaus is the talent on that team though, put J.J. on an average team and he wouldn't even have five victories yet.
And fans hate him for his attitude, it has nothing to do with jealousy.

[DMM77]

NASCAR really dropped the ball on this one!!!......

They suspend Knaus for 3 races but don't take away any points??? Yet Jr says Shiat on TV and gets docked!!!.......

:D

I think they regret that Jr penalty and realized it was unfair.

How in the hell can they justify a NO point loss for the #48 team????

They suspend Knaus for 3 races but don't take away any points??? Yet Jr says Shiat on TV and gets docked!!!

That is complete Horse crap!!!! I am really really getting tired of how NASCAR uses the so called "Rules" for certain teams and not others!!

:D

If you have been watching NASCAR for any amount of time then you know they have a history of selective enforcement especially with the 48 team. Ive met Jimmie a couple of times and hes really not as big of an arrogant pr*ck as he seems. I still dont root for him but he does get a bad rap sometimes. Got to Daytona Saturday afternoon and it was high 70s low 80s by Sundays race I froze my butt off. Hard to enjoy a race when its misty windy and cold but it was still a good time. Next up Bristol in March and it may actually be warmer there than it was this weekend

Don't jinx it man. It can get mighty cold for that race :D.

I'm not quite sure why you say Johnson should be docked points.
For what.....the rear window violation?
How can they dock points for that? The season hadn't started yet and no points were accumulated at that point. I could be wrong, but once the green flag drops for Daytona that's when the season starts and points begin to be accumulated.

Johnson's car passed a 3-hour inspection. So there was no violation and no reason to dock points.

Not sure when Junior cursed on TV (I didn't see it), but if it was a post race interview, then I guess that's why he got hit with the fine & points. Personally I agree & don't feel docking points for that was fair, but didn't they hit him with the same fine before? (Money & Points)

And the whole ida that Nascar doesn't go after the 48 Team, is crazy.
Knaus was EJECTED from the biggest event of the year. It's not like they said, you can stay but you can't be in the pits for the race. He was removed from the event a week before it happened. They told him he had to leave for the entire week. I don't quite get a warm & fuzzy feeling from that kind of penalty. Plus he now gets a $25K fine and an additional 3 race suspension.
How is that Nascar favoring a team??

[Irish_Flyers]

Anyone read the article on FoxSports at all? It's mentioned how all teams look for an advantage....


Johnson fires back at Newman
NEW YORK (AP) - Jimmie Johnson believes he won the Daytona 500 fair and square.
That is more than he can say about postrace comments that painted him as a cheater.

Johnson fired back Tuesday at Ryan Newman, who said the victory wasn't "necessarily good for the sport." Johnson won the race Sunday without crew chief Chad Knaus, suspended for making an illegal modification to the No. 48 Chevrolet during qualifying.

"I think inside it felt good to (Newman) to take a shot at me," Johnson said Tuesday during a media tour through New York. "He didn't win the race. That's what disappoints me. Be happy for me. I overcame a lot in this race. Why take a cheap shot?"

Newman, who finished third, said after the race: "This could still be the first opportunity for NASCAR to pull away a victory if the thing is illegal. It's disappointing. I think a lot of Jimmie Johnson and his talent, but I'm pretty sure at least three of his last four wins have had conflictions with the cars being illegal."

Those comments were made before Johnson's car passed postrace inspection. Johnson won the race for the first time in his five-year career after charging to the front with 14 laps remaining and holding on over two restarts.

Though Johnson understands drivers sometimes make emotional comments after races, he questioned some of what Newman has accomplished in the past.

Specifically in 2003, when Newman won a career-high eight races.

"It's well known that he got spectacular fuel mileage and there was something funny going along with that on his side with his equipment," Johnson said. "I'm not one to judge people when they have infractions in our sport because all the crew chiefs walk that line. They're trying to find an advantage. That's what they're paid to do."

There was more fallout later in the day, when NASCAR suspended Knaus for three more races and fined him $25,000 for making the illegal modification.

Knaus has had problems in the past, which probably led to the negative comments. Last March, he was accused of cheating following Johnson's win in Las Vegas when his car failed postrace inspection. After a win in September at Dover, Del., Johnson's car again failed inspection.

Only that time, NASCAR said Knaus had exploited a loophole in the rule book, and the sanctioning body quickly closed it.

Johnson said every crew chief is trying to find an advantage, so Newman should have kept his thoughts to himself.

"We have 45 engineers at Hendrick Motorsports that are trying to make our cars better and trying to beat the system," Johnson said. "He has a staff trying to do the same thing. Years ago this was a fun game between the sanctioning body and the crew chiefs. Now with all the eyes watching, it's turned into a different animal and there's such a negative spin off.

"In the garage area, the crews know they're trying to pull one over on the sanctioning body and the sanctioning body smiles about it because they know they're trying to get them back. It's a cat and mouse game that's been in our sport forever and it will always be there."

Does it really matter?

Knaus will still oversee work done in the shop. He'll still have say in the final raceday setup. He'll still track the team's progress daily via cell phone and e-mail.
He just can't be on track grounds!!

So basically anyone who knows anything about cars can be put up on the box, all Chad needs to do is call the person and tell him what to do!!

Do I really have to comment on this??? The race season begins as soon as the 1st Practice Session starts!!!

NASCAR has always penalized teams 25 points for infractions, regardless if it was at qualifing or race day... Take a look at harvick's team last year and the gas tank modification!!

Not sure when Junior cursed on TV (I didn't see it), but if it was a post race interview, then I guess that's why he got hit with the fine & points.


Because saying shiat is much more detrimental to NASCAR then illiegal car modifications!! :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

That is one reason I am starting to really dislike nascar. Their rule book is written in pencil and changed way too much. The rules change from day to day. It just makes for arguements like this. The need to set a rule book in stone each year and follow it so everyone gets the same penalty for the same infractions.

If anyone can get Fox Sports Radio, check out The Drive w/ Chris Meyers. He has a weekly call with Jeff Hammond, and they discussed this stuff yesterday. Hammond will be on the air the whole show on Friday. Hammond says there is a lot that goes on that fans just aren't privied to. Things as far as decisions by Nascar and their reasoning behind it, but that it all goes back to prior decisions.

He also said he hates hearing people say there's cheating in Nascar. Every team makes adjustments to the cars, and that's why Nascar refers to these as violations or penalties.
Kind like in the NFL. There's holding on every play, however every now & again there's a holding pnealty called. That's what happens in Nascar.
He said if people think that EVERY team in Nascar isn't trying to modify the car in ways that are outside of the rule book, then you're fooling yourselves.

It's a cat & mouse game between teams and officials nowadays.
The King himself used to always say, "Make sure you cheat neat." Now back then there wasn't nearly as much technology to catch "cheating" so do you think Petty would have as many of his wins if officials had all they have today.?.

Maybe its not the paint scheme curse, it could be the Harvick curse, since he didnt do well in his regular scheme last year either.

Maybe its not the paint scheme curse, it could be the Harvick curse, since he didnt do well in his regular scheme last year either.

I'd blame RCR more than I would Harvick. I couldn't tell you how many times he had engine problems and got knocked out of races last year. Not to mention constant problems with lack of horsepower. And it seemed like every single time they ran a special paint scheme they finsihed worse than usual. But, Childress said he has rededicated himself this year and made some changes to the engine department.

Anyone remember when Fatback had surgery on his back two years ago? He called the whole race from his den at home! With Trackpass for the telemetry and tv coverage and constant contact with his team via satellite, there was nothing he didnt miss.
I'm sure Knaus did the same thing this week and will again for the next three weeks.

Strike Three for Hmiel - Banned for Life: NASCAR officials confirmed Friday that former NASCAR Busch and Craftsman Truck Series driver Shane Hmiel failed a third drug test and has been banned from NASCAR for life. Hmiel failed two prior tests in 2003 and ’05, and NASCAR officials said Friday that he failed a third within the past week, prompting his banishment.(Speed Channel)
AND Driver Shane Hmiel has been suspended from competition for life by NASCAR after failing a third substance abuse test. "Shane failed to fulfill the prescribed rehabilitation program scheduled by NASCAR," NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said Friday. "As a result, Shane has forfeited his opportunity to compete in any NASCAR-sanctioned events." Asked if there is any possibility of Hmiel racing in NASCAR sometime in the future, he said, "No, it is a lifetime ban." Hmiel, the 26-year-old son of longtime crew chief and team official Steve Hmiel, was first suspended in September 2003 after failing a test. He completed a required rehabilitation program and was reinstated for NASCAR competition in February 2004. But he was suspended again last June after failing a second substance abuse test. NASCAR had laid out a road map for Hmiel's possible reinstatement in 2007 that included medical and psychological reviews and frequent testing. NASCAR said Hmiel failed one of those tests. NASCAR's Substance Abuse Policy, based on "reasonable suspicion," allows the sanctioning organization to broadly administer tests virtually anytime, anywhere.(ESPN.com/AP)

I tried it durring one of there free weekends last year, its pretty good if you can't get Nascar InDemand on your digital cable, which I got this year and although last week sucked cause of the crap weather, this week rocked. Put Dale Jr on the 36" Tv and the Fox broadcast on a 19" beside it and was awesome. Junior was pretty stoked after the race. "F*** Yea! Thanks for the tires Jr (Eury), I knew it was tough on ya" (He went from 18th, last on lead lap, on the restart to 11th by putting on 4 new tires at the last caution)

Another thing I thought was interesting today, was until the end of the race, Jr just told Eury Jr what the car was doing, they'd pit, then Eury Jr would tell him what he did to the car after he was back out on track. Thought that a little odd they didn't communicate more before the pit.

I had 3 guys in the top ten that I had in Reserve and still managed to stay in second place...........not too bad at all.

[avsfan21]

Wow I fell from the top 5 to 15th that is just sad.

[Sinsightful]

I dont understand why nascar wants to add more tracks like this to the schedule saying they are good for the fans. Maybe if the fans had cots in the stands.

IF the Seattle area track ever gets underway, it is supposed to be a 3/4 mile track. The NY track is supposed to be a short track as well, don't know the exact size.
Cup Series will be going to Mexico in a couple of years at the road course that Busch races at next week.

It is more of the Track layout not as much of size. They will probably make them those damn flat track D shape ovals.

[Sinsightful]

was curious if anyone has or had signed up for NASCAR Track Pass, and if so. Is it worth it? thanks in advance!!!

If you have something better than Dial-up, Trackpass is awesome! But if you have a dial-up service, don't bother, you'll just get pissed off.

[Sinsightful]

a flat track can be a good thing if done properly...................one word, Martinsville.

[avsfan21]

Martinsville isnt D-shaped either. Martinsville isnt really great racing either, its more about being on the bottom line and bumping people out of the way.

[ramos]

Berrier needs to GO! Hes a joke.

Tell me about it. I cant stand another season of this crap. Lack of power,bad calls in the pits. I can smell a jump to Toyotoa for Harvick.

[avsfan21]

Toyota might help me bring me back to nascar somewhat, only time will tell.

[Sinsightful]

How is driving on the bottom and bumping guys not good racing on a short track? When was the last time you visited a local short track? That's what it is all about.

[Sinsightful]

Tell me about it. I cant stand another season of this crap. Lack of power,bad calls in the pits. I can smell a jump to Toyotoa for Harvick.
I dont think Berrier is the problem really. As for Harvick jumping ship? You have to wait at least five races to determine who's got it and who doesn't this year....Burton has competed nicely the first two races, Harvick may follow suit shortly and thus stay at Childress.

As for jumping to Toyota, you guys see the D.W. commercial stating which drivers will be in toyotas next year? When the engines rev after he says Mikey, if you read his lips, it looks like he says Kyle Petty and Junior............Which we know neither will leave their respective teams, but I just thought it was a tongue-in-cheek joke to get people going.
If so, it was pretty funny.

Thats the thing that is confusing me. I know its early but take today for instance. Burton and Bowyer ran good today but Harvick was stinking up the joint. I dont know who is to blame right now but when you're driving for one of the "best" organizations you shouldnt be stinking it up like that.

[Bronko]

That's the problem. Kevin's had a fast car at both races this year, but once the race starts the car gets progressively worse at the race wears on. At Daytona he was up front all day until Berrier decided his carburetor had to be replaced, and today he started off bad and it got worse after every pitstop. I'm getting tired of hearing Kevin say "It's junk" every week.

1 win in the last 3 years, and it came with Gil Martin as crew cheif ;).

As much as it pains me to say it, Darlington will eventually lose her race date. Besides that, there are a few tracks that will lose their second date (Martinsville, Pocono, Richmond).............Nascar wants to eventually go to the type of schedule where you visit each track once a year.............that is far off into the future though. Right now, all it takes is the same owner to give up a date to provide a date for a new track. Since there are only three owners in Nascar, thats not to hard. Bruton Smith of Speedway Motorsports and ISC (the France family) as well as the guy who owns New Hampshire. And thats why N.H. will never lose its second date no matter how bad it needs too, as long as its an independant track, he's safe.

[R. Giles]

rom Jayski:
Roush Hauler Involved in Fatal Wreck: A Roush Racing hauler was involved in a fatal collision with a car going the wrong way on Interstate 10 near Phoenix, Roush Racing President Geoff Smith said Sunday morning. Neither of the two Roush hauler drivers was seriously injured, Smith said. "A car that had no lights on was driving the wrong way on the expressway outside of Phoenix and ran head-on into our #60 hauler," Smith said. "Someone was killed in the car." The hauler was on the way to Laredo to switch out cars with another Roush hauler carrying road-course cars for the March 5 race at Mexico City.(NASCAR Scene Daily)(2-26-2006)


That is crazy to read

[exanimate]

I wish they would make Kentucky Speedway a stop on the map. I have seen testing done there, and love that track.

[R. Giles]

they won't go to kentucky because of the capacity it can hold.

[exanimate]

Wishful thinking. Only seats 66k. It is a great track though. If they would increase the seating, I am sure they could get a race.

[R. Giles]

they would have to same thing with nashville speedway.

[Dirty Mo Posse]

Pocono was the first race I went too!!

It isn't that bad when you are actually there!!

Longest straightway on the circuit!!

:D

Posse

[Sinsightful]

they won't go to kentucky because of the capacity it can hold.

Kentucky Speedway is currently involved in a anti-trust lawsuit against NASCAR. They contend that they have the right to be able to host at least one race a year.
NASCAR's position is that they informed the owner of Kentucky before he built it that they had no intention of giving him a date because of location and close proximity to many current tracks.

It may be great racing but NASCAR is dead set on not putting a date there. This is the same lawsuit type as Texas had against NASCAR, but I believe it will be a different outcome. Bruton Smith gave up date at a previous track to get the second Texas date. Kentucky Speedway has nothing to offer in return.

HR DERBY '06

Its that time of year again, well almost.



Just got my entry form in the mail today and I can make a copy for anyone interested in playing. (just email me or private message your street address).

The idea is to pick 15 MLB players from five predetermined groups (three per group) and whomever has the most HRs accumulated at seasons end, wins.



This will be the 19th year. Last year, there were about 350 prizes given out, 22 of which were $1,000 or more. Last year's Top Prize was $9,000!!!! There is also a prize for coming in dead last.



This contest is run out of Palatine, IL (Chicago area), but people from all across the country play in it.



DEADLINE FOR SUBMITAL IS APRIL 1ST.



------I do not run this contest nor do I collect any money. I have played it for about three years now. If you are interested, I would just send you a copy of the entry form and you would submit it along with payment yourself.

Any of yall seen that new show "Back in the Day" with Dale Jr. on SPEED, it's fast becoming my favorite show. They show vintage racing highlights along with little pop culture factiods. Though I wasn't around to see it, I've heard a million stories from my grandpa and my uncles about the true golden age of the sport. Yall should really check it out.

[silvrhawk]

I have been to Atlanta several times and have never ever seen it sell out, even when it was the last race of the season. I hate to see all these 1 1/2 mile cookie cutter tracks so Charlotte sells out almost every year Texas too so Atlanta has to go to 1 race. I cant comment on Pocono I have never watched a race there. I like it on TV because I can get up and walk away get a bite to eat grab a beer and come back and missed nothing.

[avsfan21]

Atlanta has some of the best racing all season. I dont care if they dont sell out the stands. That is the tracks problem in profits. You can run anywhere on the track there and have a good car. So you have some running the low line, some in the middle and some up high. It makes for great racing. Just look at the track record for finishes going back the last 6 or so years.

I agree, Atlanta is one of my favorite tracks. Earnhardt/Labonte, Harvick/Gordon, Edwards/Johnson were all memorable races.

[avsfan21]

I was at the race with the Harvick/Gordon finish. That was awesome.

[Bronko]

I was at the race with the Harvick/Gordon finish. That was awesome.

That is one of my alltime favorite races. Harvick winning with Dale's team in the 3rd race after he took over by beating Dale's rival in a finish nearly identical to the one Earnhardt had a year ago in the same race. Still gives me chills when I watch it on DVD.

[avsfan21]

Ok so then apparently Im the only one who has been to races at Darlington or Rockingham. If it was all about the racing both those tracks would still be fine. I think Charlotte (pre-levigation) and Atlanta were the best of the mile and half tracks but Atlanta doenst do the attendance of Charlotte or Texas.

[Johnathan]

I've been to Rockingham to the race, but only got to go to qualifying at Darlington. I love both tracks dearly, killed me to see Rockingham lose it's spot, I still find myself at the drag strip when I'm able, though I rarely make it that way these days.

Darlington is my second favorite track of all-time (the Lady In Black must be paid dues!)...........only behind my Favorite..............the Rock!!!! (the tire wear alone made those races worth watching).

Good racing has nothing to do with when a track loses its date.........its all about the profits and thus seating.

Back in the Day is pretty good. Any fan of 'racin' would love to watch it. And Jr.'s snippets about the drivers or the race itself are pretty entertaining. I could do without the pop culture though. Either you know that stuff already or don't care to know it. The biggest problem I have with the show is its time slot.............I constantly click back and forth between that and '24'. (april 3rd - Edwards is an extra on the show).

Red Bull's technical director moves to NASCAR: Red Bull will use one of its first prominent figures to set-up its NASCAR team in the US. Their technical director for Red Bull Racing in Formula 1, Gunther Steiner, will more from Formula 1 to NASCAR starting April 1st. The forty-year-old South Tyrolean will also assume the function of Technical Director for the Red Bull Toyota NASCAR team, acting on a level with General Manager Marty Gaunt. Red Bull's NASCAR team will start preparing for their debut season in 2007 on the first of April. Gunther Steiner said about his career move inside Red Bull Racing: "It is a new and fascinating challenge. If as a European you are asked to help set up such an ambitious project you simply cannot say no. I'm really looking forward to working on my new task."(f1racing.net)(3-3-2006)

[avsfan21]

I cant believe that Matt Kenseth has a reserve engine in his car. God I hate the pretty face pit reporters that are there for looks and not their knowledge of racing.

[Dirty Mo Posse]

I hate that *****!

Posse

[avsfan21]

Not a bad finish to such a boring race.

[Dirty Mo Posse]

It isnt cheating its creative engineering.

[R. Giles]

DW just gets excited anytime somebody wins.

[R. Giles]

It isnt cheating its creative engineering.

then newman needs to do better, he went to college for engineering.

[exanimate]

You are starting to sound like Deogg, Posse. I can't wait till the next person gets caught cheating.

Shouldn't be long, Knaus is due back in a couple races!! ;) ;) :p

It seems like the rest of RCR is progressing while Kevin is regressing. I actually thought we had a chance at a top 5, but for the second time in 3 races Kyle Busch and Tony Stewart have a run in that costs us :rolleyes:.

[Dirty Mo Posse]

Nice week in the pool Troy!!

:D

Posse

[Leafsfan1967]

Nice week in the pool Troy!!

:D

Posse

Thanks! I toyed wit the idea of using Kenseth this morning! I think Yeley would of had a better finish too if he didn't have the loose wheel issue to go a lap down. He had a good car at the start!

[Irish_Flyers]

Tell me about it. I was sitting there screaming at the TV. I kinda expected it to happen though. All those good pit stops went to waste.

[deogg]

You are starting to sound like Deogg, Posse. I can't wait till the next person gets caught cheating.

Yes, I AM still alive. Our HS basketball team has been in playoffs, so the nights I would usually be hardcore posting I'm off on the tournament trail.

But anyway

ho-hum, Nascar's golden boy wins (and most likely cheated to do it) another race. He's probably still awake from the party his boyfriend threw for him (there's your homosexual comment for ya! :) )

*ok I'm tired tonight, I never promised the homosexual comment would be a GOOD one! lol*

[Dirty Mo Posse]

Missed the deadline bump!!

:(

Posse

[R. Giles]

qualifying is on going.

[R. Giles]

Qualifying over. Kasey Kahne on pole with Ryan Newman second followed by Jeff Burton.

[R. Giles]

Bill Lester qualifies for the race.

[Bronko]

Wow, what a finish to the truck race :eek:. Todd Bodine makes a 4 wide pass on Mark Martin that almost wrecks all 4 involved, and then he holds Martin off on a GWC finish.

[silvrhawk]

End of the race was great. Dont know how he held on to that truck when he passed Martin

[Dirty Mo Posse]

Only ships to US, looks legit to me, comes with COA, nice price!!

Posse
I don't think it is authentic.

1-the sale price is way too low.

2-if you magnify the C.O.A. pic, you can read that it says 'nascar mcfarlane collectible', if this was the real deal, it would be phrased 'action mcfarlane collectible'

(splitting hairs, i know, but thats what makes me think that way.)

[Dirty Mo Posse]

Rain delay!!

:(

Posse

[avsfan21]

Man Nascar should come to Atlanta every weekend we would never have a drought again.

[Dirty Mo Posse]

Hearing might be postponed till Easter week-end!

:D

Posse

[avsfan21]

Everyone should have known better, it always rains when the race comes to town.

And yes it is suppose to rain all day tomorrow as well.

[R. Giles]

well race postponed till tomorrow at 11 on FX and some Fox stations.

[avsfan21]

If they are lucky.

[R. Giles]

might seem the race is going to be on another weekend.

[Dirty Mo Posse]

Easter

Suppose to rain till Tuesday???

:D

Posse

[exanimate]

Hope it is on Easter. I usually end up at my parents bar with my brother in law watching golf on Easter.

[Dirty Mo Posse]

JASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:D

Posse

[Dirty Mo Posse]

Yeah but the Masters rocks!!

:D

Posse

[Dirty Mo Posse]

Don't ever remember them running a race on Tuesday??

Not enough time for the next race!

:D

Posse

[avsfan21]

I dont know they might be able to pull it off since its only about a 4-6 hour drive from Atlanta to Charlotte, and it cant be but a couple hour drive to Bristol from Charlotte.

[avsfan21]

Well looking at the forcast it doesnt look good for tomorrow either.

http://images.ibsys.com/atl/images/weather/auto/5day_400x300.jpg

[avsfan21]

And if I am correct in my thinking, you will now have a 5 day forcast for atlanta in this thread when ever you want. I think that once they update the picture for the next day as long as it uses the same name it will change to the next days forcast. I guess we will find out tomorrow.

[silvrhawk]

It is possible to run it on tuesday, most teams can have haulers with their short track cars up there waiting for when they get to Bristol. It usually takes me about 4 - 4.5 hrs to Brisol and I live just outside Charlotte.

[Bronko]

Well so far this race has stunk.

[R. Giles]

sucks labonte blew an engine early in the race. Stewart right now is killing everybody.

[R. Giles]

WOOHOO Kasey Kahne wins

[avsfan21]

I slept through most of the race so I really have no idea what went on.

[R. Giles]

Didn't miss much a pretty boring race.

[R. Giles]

there was alot of passing but in ways of action it was boring.

[Leafsfan1967]

Damn I should of listened to my little voice! Struggled with keeping Edwards as my "A" driver this morning, or Mark Martin! Stuck with the 99, and I was wrong! GRRRRR! :mad:

[ajaxdog]

Anyone elses Wal-Mart have the Kasey Kahne 12" cheaper then $15.00 yet? Two of them here have about 20 of them still at $15.00 ...

[Dirty Mo Posse]

Not a great week in the pool but at least I picked Kahne!!

Nice Top 3 for Jr!!

Nice Mark!!

[exanimate]

Thanks Mark.

On another note. As you all know last year, Paul and I went to Martinsville, and had a blast. I would love for a group of us to get together and go to a race again this year. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to offer them up.

Michigan :) - then are boys from the north can come ;)

[exanimate]

If anyone knows where I can score some Bristol Night Race tickets, please let me know.

[exanimate]

Michigan :) - then are boys from the north can come ;)

That would be a good one. I ran it by the wife the other night, and she had no problems with it.

[avsfan21]

Could do the Glen also.

[sremmaz]

That would be a good one. I ran it by the wife the other night, and she had no problems with it.

That would be cool - you could always crash here on the friday night and we could drive up on Saturday and get close to the track

[exanimate]

That sounds like a plan Paul.

[Bronko]

An update on the Bristol weather:

[avsfan21]

I see it worked like I thought it would posting that 5 day update, it is now on Thursday's weather.

[Dirty Mo Posse]

Michigan or The Glen might just be possible!!!

The more notice the better!

:D

Posse

[exanimate]

Thinking of Michigan Posse. Both races are far enough away that we should be able to plan it out. One is in June, and the other August.

[sremmaz]

Michigan is cool because you can get pre-race pitpasses for like $20-25 or something

[Dirty Mo Posse]

June would not work for me! :(

I have a work trip to Atlanta in the beginning, then the little ones Birthday then a family trip down east!
