"NASCAR Drivers: 360" television show to return :)


from motorsport.com:
MOVE OVER, MARK BURNETT: Kevin Harvick, Kasey Kahne, Mark Martin, and Kenny and Rusty Wallace will be featured in the greatly anticipated second season of the acclaimed "NASCAR Drivers: 360," an unscripted reality show featuring some of the top drivers from the NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series. Riding the ever-swelling waves of both NASCAR and reality TV, "NASCAR Drivers: 360" gives an unvarnished look at some of the up and coming drivers, families and teams of the Cup Series, focusing primarily on their lives away from the tracks. Produced by Tony Krantz ("24," "Sports Night") and Scott Messick ("Survivor"), "NASCAR Drivers: 360" will run seven one-hour episodes on FX.

[sremmaz]

NICE - I love that show

Must re-set the tivo

[x90mattman]

Yea, i saw that, I ordered a case a few weeks ago durring kim's case sale for $75 :mad:. Guess they must not have sold many to drop another $22 bucks. And just to add insult to injury I didn't even get a Lobonte in the Series 2 case. I ordered a case of the Nascar 1 as well and the day I got them I got an email from another place I've dealt with that they had Series 1 for $30 less. My luck and McFarlanes seems to be pretty bad.

But oh well, at least I finally got some hobby figs. Now I just have to track down some straglers... :)

Sorry my apologies - it was series 2

NASCAR SERIES 2 (assorted cases) $52.95 per case

NASCAR series 2 sets - $34.95

Nothing like getting ready for a new season of Nascar than by putting a good chunk of your collection on display!

Still have to figure out something to put the cars on thats light weight so I can have all of them sideways with the second row up about 2 inches. But thats a challenge for another day :)

[Leafsfan1967]

Very nice bro! Another Earnhardt fan! :D Are they all Action cars?


Troy

[x90mattman]

Haha! I wish, except for the ones in the plastic cases which are Revell all those are Winner's Circle, though I am slowely trying to convert what I have from WC over to the higher detail stuff. Here is a a photo from the display case I made that is visible in the bottom right of the second photo of some of the nicer cars I have. I can't find a decent picture of the one beside it that has a bunch more Action cars I have, i'll have to take another picture and post. Also, you can't see it in the photo, but the Kid Rock car is autographed by Kid Rock.

I have a lot of Winners Circle myself! I have a wife and 3 kids! LOL!!! :D Nice collection! Dirty Mo Posse collects Revell Select Jr cars! You'll find him on here through the week! ;) I haven't been able to find the KFC or Taco Bell WC cars up here in Toronto Walmart aren't carrying them anymore! :( I'll get them off ebay I guess! I do have a 1/64 Action Elite blue Oreo Ritz that I got at Bass Pro Shops! The Elites are sweet! 1/24 versions are $120 Canadian! :eek:


Troy

[avsfan21]

I have a lot of Winners Circle and Racing Champions. Most of my collection is also 1/64 scale cars. I have been getting into more of just collection 1/24 Gordon cars every once in a while. Dont really get many nascar die cast anymore. I have 1/64 scale cars of just about everyone.

[x90mattman]

I kinda luck out on the WC cars as I work at a retailer that carries them (though I found out we're not getting the next shipment until week 8 which is the first week of april!) But even without that connection, there are 2 Meijers and 2 Walmarts between work and my house that I try to swing into whenever I have the time looking for Nascar figures since my company doesn't carry them anymore. So i usually have myself covered when it comes to WC. I'm pretty stoked that WC finally put checklists up on the website of whats out there to hunt down, cause in years past you never knew if you got them all or not.

[Leafsfan1967]

No Meijers in Canada! Only Walmart carries WC, and it seems like they've stopped up here

[Dirty Mo Posse]

Under a week till the Shoot-out!!!!

As far as new stuff, I don't really buy that much. I'll get a 2005 Viagra car when I see one, hopefully a hauler too. I have at least one Mark Martin car from every year dating back to 1992 (including several Winn Dixie cars).

As for old stuff, I'm not even gonna think of looking at anything until after my uncle's racing collection (Nascar AND open wheel) comes to my place.

I'm starting to think only a few are even interested in prizes! :confused: :(

[Leafsfan1967]

ttt

[sremmaz]

Troy I agree with you. Prizes make it fun and interesting - but whatever

[deogg]

Just an update to inheriting my uncle's Nascar collection:

I just got THE call: :D
"Come on down and make sure your car's empty"

It's gonna take WAY more than one trip to get it all here!

Pics will be coming as I get stuff transferred over and unpacked!

[sremmaz]

Thats awesome - swing by Lafayette and we can caravan down in my Truck :)

[deogg]

Just checking in from trip #1 (going again in a couple of hours, he had to work for a couple of hours today):

OMG!!!!!!!

The first load of stuff was about 85% Mark Martin stuff (the rest consisting of Roush drivers from 1992 to about 2000, the most recent non-Mark car being a early Kenseth) A TON of pre-Viagra/Pfizer stuff. Several Racing Champions limited two-car sets, lots of MOC/MIB cars and haulers. (I'm taking the camera over to the other house *I'm in the process of moving* with me in time for trip #2). Mostly 1/64 scale, but there's also a few Quartzo 1/43's and some 1/24's.

On the NON-diecast front, I also brought over Mark's book "Driven To Race", and Winston Cup yearbooks from 1999 (DJ winning the Cup), 1993, and *gasp* 1992!!!!!!

Leaving at about 3-ish to go back for trip #2. A lot of the non-Mark Roush stuff will be in load #2.

[Dirty Mo Posse]

Awesome!!

You need to post some pictures of that haul!!!

:D

Posse

[deogg]

Just got back from the other house unpacking load #2 (and eating, and chilling, and more unpacking, more chilling, then taking a shower and coming home). This load was the exact opposite of the first: 85% non-Mark Martin Roush drivers, 15% Mark. A TON of loose cars and transporters in display cases. I spent most of the night consolidating a lot of the cars/haulers into fewer display cases.

Oh, and Posse, I DID find a lone Jr. car. It's a single packed car of his MLB All Star Game paint scheme.

Also found:
-A TON of the Racing Champions Stock Rods. My uncle took the cars/cards/bases and single packed them into plastic 100-count card cases.
-A few carded Stock Rods
-All 4 of RC's 13-car sets for Nascar's 50th Anniv (12 cars plus a gold chrome Nascar car in each set)
-Leather boxed Stroh's Light 2 pack for Mark
-Premeier Edition Winn Dixie hauler (lord knows how many times i drooled over that thing!!!!)

One more trip or two should knock out the driver-specific stuff. And then it's to the mass of stuff that's in his garage!

I'll have pics up soon, I'm just too lazy to upload them right now! LOL

Casa De Deogg part 2: The Shrine!!!!!

Pics of all the stuff that my uncle is giving me (thus far).

So far I've gotten all the Mark Martin stuff and most of his Roush Racing stuff. The rest of the Roush Racing stuff will probably come over in the next carload. Then will also probably come the *gasp* Davey Allison collection, and the mass amounts of stuff in the garage!

[Buick GN]

Thanks for sharing.

Just as long as you know that the 24 will win it all .... for the fifth time!

[exanimate]

48, or 24 I really don't care. I am a fan of both drivers.

[Leafsfan1967]

W T F was Newman doing taking 2 tires??? Dumb-arse move of the race! :rolleyes:

We saw it all of last year, and it didn't help him win a title now did it? :p

[deogg]

well at least it wasn't Gordon.....

:p

JJ is just as bad.

Thankfully I was at the basketball game and didn't watch it.

[deogg]

Oh, by the way, I am getting ANOTHER carload of stuff to bring to "The Shrine" tomorrow!!

I think on tap for tomorrow is more "non-Mark Martin" Roush stuff, and I think *crosses fingers* the Davey Allison stuff!!!!

[exanimate]

Here is a great site for everyone. Will come in quite handy. I actually downloaded the page, and made a screenshot, just in case it goes down.

Thanks Jason! :)


Jarrett, and Gordon on the point thus far! :eek:

[deogg]

Just got back from bringing over another load from my uncle!!!!

A TON of non-fave drivers stuff. A good chunk of open wheel stuff too.

The bad news for you fans of Earnhardt and Rainbow Brite.....I mean, Gordon), but GREAT news for me: there is ZERO of anything for either driver (if there was, I woulda prolly traded the stuff to one of you guys anyway)

Bear with me, it's gonna take me a few days to get the pics posted!

Johnson knocks Gordon off the outside pole! In the wind to boot! :eek:

[exanimate]

How about DJ? That kinda shocked me, but he won't be there long, just look who he is contending with.

[deogg]

Okay guys, just got done (TRYING to) sort all this stuff out, and I came up with an idea:

If I sold lots of 10 totally random MOC cars for like $15 or $20 shipped, how many of you would buy any? Cuz I'll tell ya what: there has to be a good couple of hundred MOC cars (at least) with probably just as many if not more loose cars. And there's just NO way I can possibly store all these puppies. There's all sorts of different years, companies, drivers, you name it.

And I haven't even gotten to the haulers yet!!!!!!

So, if any of you WOULD buy any lots of cars I would set up (I'm not doing this YET, I'm just asking around to see who would be interested) let me know, and depending on how many people are interested, I may sell them like that.

[Dirty Mo Posse]

I would if I could get Dale Jr stuff, sorry but he is the only Driver I collect for now due to Lack Of Space!!

:D

Posse

[Sorrels]

hey Jon, I missed qualifying today, who's on the poll?????????????????

[deogg]

hey Jon, I missed qualifying today, who's on the poll?????????????????

Dale Jarrett on the pole, JJ on the outside pole.

[Batistuta]

Any room in any of those NASCAR fantasy leagues? Shoot me a PM.

Haven't been around much - kinda gettin bored with the "other" sport SP's. Still love the NASCAR though. Glad it's finally back - going to be a tough year w/o a driver (Ward Burton) to root for. Guess if Ward doesn't pick up something mid season I'll have to find a new driver. Kinda sucks - been a Ward fan since 96'.

We'll see how Bliss does in that piece of crap 0 car. Yeah, Ward was the problem.....:rolleyes:

[sremmaz]

back to page 1

[avsfan21]

Looks like Goodyear is at it again. Tires are ripping apart on a whole bunch of cars. Fronts and rears are tearing apart. Goodyear needs to fix this, before someone gets hurt.

[Dirty Mo Posse]

Jr looked good in final practice today!!

:D

Posse

[Dirty Mo Posse]

:D

Posse

[Felty]

Ok how about this question. Not who do you think is going to win the 500, but who would you love to see win it??

This is Mark Martin last chance at it. He is a super nice guy as well. I love to see him win it.

But if not him then Dale Jr. :D

[avsfan21]

I would love to see a Hendrick Car win. Wouldnt mind too much most of the drivers winning, other than DEI cars, Rusty, Harvick, Biffle, or Busch.

[Irish_Flyers]

Guys,
Anyone give any thought to starting a new thread for a new season, now that Daytona is a few days away?? I think either Posse or Leafsfan should have the honor of creating it, since you guys have been the main ones to keep this one going.

[ajaxdog]

Why would we start a new one ... this is the official and I as well as others have been here since page 1.
oh ya ... Twin 150's in about 45min. and I took the day off to watch ....

[sremmaz]

I vote leave this thread

It will rival the longest thread :)

[Bronko]

I love the twin 150's bump :D

[deogg]

(please pardon the all caps but this HAS to be said)

BOOGITY BOOGITY BOOGITY BOYS, LETS GO RACIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[avsfan21]

Great Job Harvick, Take out 6 good cars in one stupid move.

[sremmaz]

what a way to start the season - LOL...

[sremmaz]

Nice Truex is in - wooo hooo

[Felty]

Nice Truex is in - wooo hooo


I second that.. Nice to see him make it. :D

[avsfan21]

Robby was pissed at Lapage, he hit him after the race.

[exanimate]

I am happy Robby Gordon didn't make it. One less wreck everyone has to worry about Sunday. As far as Harvick, it looks like it is gonna be a long season for him. Has quite a few people pissed at him before the season really starts.

[p51-sn95]

Great Job Harvick, Take out 6 good cars in one stupid move.

I know what an ........ I don't think I can say what I really think of him on here.. :mad:

worst part is he took the primary cars away from Rusty and Mark Martin trying to win the 500 in their last attempt..

:(

[avsfan21]

Mark is really upset. You could hear it when they talked with him.

[Irish_Flyers]

Harvick..............YOU IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad:

My boy, JJ, looked rock solid, and you bump him!!! Arrrrghhh. Oh well, looks like I gotta change a few drivers on my fantasy team. Especially with JJ losing his primary car.
Gonna put Jr, in my A Group now.

[avsfan21]

JJ didnt lose his primary car, It didnt look like it was hurt at all. Maybe a little dent in the rear, that was it. That car will be in the 500 and he will be starting second unless something happens in happy hour.

JJ just dont get near Harddi*k in practice.

[deogg]

A BENCH THAT DANGER TO THE TRACK HARVICK bump

[sremmaz]

Anyone want to go to the Martinsville race? Me and Jason are planning on heading there in April - anyone else wanna go?

[Bronko]

I'm a big Harvick fan, but he screwed up today. I felt bad for Martin, but JJ was seriously overreacting when his car had almost no damage compared to all the others.

[exanimate]

Harvick..............YOU IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad: :mad:

My boy, JJ, looked rock solid, and you bump him!!! Arrrrghhh. Oh well, looks like I gotta change a few drivers on my fantasy team. Especially with JJ losing his primary car.
Gonna put Jr, in my A Group now.

Jimmie didn't lose his primary. He had virtually no damage. Man I love the Nascar station on XM, as they keep going long after the race is over. You hear all kinds of juicy stuff on there. Apparantly they had Jimmie and team, and Harvick and Team in the hauler for over an hour, and there is some serious bad blood going on.

[satdev]

Harvick has always had bad blood between him and fellow drivers. Still don't get the desire to wreck somebody just to try and win a race to start 4th in the 500. If Harvick had a sense of thought he would of just stayed put and finished in one piece.

[avsfan21]

Nascar should park him for the 500 just like they did at that race in Martinsville I believe. After he told everyone he was going to spin out that guy in the truck race, then went ahead and spun him on the restart. Sitting out of the 500 would be a major thing for him and his sponsors.

[Dirty Mo Posse]

Looks Like The Boys Are Back!!!;) ;)

Kinda feel bad for Kerry Earnhardt,just missed out! Go Driver 8!!!!

[deogg]

The good:
No Robby Gordon
No geoffrey Bodine

The bad AND the ugly:
That no talent, head up his butt, shouldn't be on the streets much less a race track Harvick IS in the race.

I hope he gets punted in the first lap!

[avsfan21]

I guess I am in the minority but I was hoping Robby would be in the race. He is an idiot sometimes, but I have a lot of respect for his driving talent. He can race pretty much any type of car any day. You have to have some skills to do that.

Jimmie didn't lose his primary. He had virtually no damage. Man I love the Nascar station on XM, as they keep going long after the race is over. You hear all kinds of juicy stuff on there. Apparantly they had Jimmie and team, and Harvick and Team in the hauler for over an hour, and there is some serious bad blood going on.

Ahh thanks for that news. I didn't get to see the race, nor did I hear it cause at that point of the race I got called into a meeting. All I saw were those pics posted above, and I thought that car with the back end in the air was Jimmie's.
Whew. Glad to see he'll be ok. His car has looked strong all week.

And as far as XM goes, I love it too. You get all that extra dirt like you said, how Nascar told Harvick & JJ that they need to work this out, or else Nascar will. They also said how Harvick & JJ will meet last night (some undisclosed) to work it out. Who knows, maybe a race on the beach or something. Kinda like Cole & Rowdy in Days of Thunder, I guess. :D

[exanimate]

I didn't like the Nascar station when I first got it, but in it's defense it was the off season, so I wasn't being fair. Now that it has started it is awesome. They give you coverage that you would never ever get anywhere else. Even though I am pissed at XM for killing XM Liquid Metal, I am keeping it for Nascar and MLB. Also, nothing funnier than some of these hilljacks that call in to the talk shows.

PS: Jimmy Spencer was screwed :mad:

[Bronko]

Jimmt Spencer was not screwed, he lost the race fair and square by getting passed before the yellow came on.

He wasn't screwed by the ruling he was screwed by the rule. I hate the rule that freezes the field when the caution comes out. Hamilton could have only been in front by 2 inches and for 2 seconds, but if the caution comes out then he is frozen and automatically wins. I understand Nascar doesn't want the guys racing back to the yellow if there is a big wreck, but there isn't anything more anticlimactic (since the green-white-checkered) than seeing a race end when the field is frozen on the final lap. Both Daytona races have been competitive, but end in a blink of an eye when the caution comes out. This leads to more controversy trying to determine who was ahead of who, when exactly the caution happened, and where the drivers were when the caution lights come on. It seems like Nascar could have a better way of letting the races end.

Yes the ruling sucks, yes they should go back to the old truck ending. Keep doing the green-white-checkered until somebody wins, the last race the trucks used it, at Milwaukee, they had to do it 4 times to get a winner. Nascar likes to have controversey because they believe it will bring people to the sport.

Dammit, I really don't like Nascar hats. I am picky, and will only wear fitted hats. The only Gordon hat that is fitted that I like is white (guess I will settle for that), and the only Jimmie Johnson hat I like isn't fitted.

Exciting race...with lead changes, bumping, accidents...
Too many commercials though...


Deogg I am impressed...I am glad u did not say it was fix....rep for you

[avsfan21]

Dale earnhardt is not second of all time. DW has more wins than Dale Earnhardt. I believe Dale is like 5th or 6th on the all time list.

All time wins list
1) Richard Petty 200
2) David Pearson 105
3) Bobby Allison and Darrell Waltirp 84
4) Cale Yarborough 83

Parsons has 105
Bobby Allison and DW are tied with 84

Actually he did thank Kurt in Victory Lane. I said the same thing as soon as the race was over. Once Kurt went around Jr I knew it was pretty much over.

Kurt also said he didn't have anything for Gordons car as well. That 200# beside Petty is just amazing. I think that is one record in sports that will never fall.

Since Jeff won Ice Cold Pepsi For everyone. http://www.f4g.net/vb/images/smilies/Pepsi.gif

And people wonder why I don't drink Pepsi........

or refuse to put Quaker State oil in my car..........

or eat Lays potato chips (or Fritos for that matter).......

or shop at (B)Lowe's.......

[avsfan21]

I dont really let nascar determine what I like. I liked Pepsi back when Jeff drove for Coke. Of course I wont drink a Bud, but that has nothing to do with Dale Jr, I just dont like beer. I will still go to Napa if I have to. I still use Sharpies even though I dont like Busch.

[ajaxdog]

So you take Viagra Deogg ???

[deogg]

SOME of the stuff I use/don't use is Nascar related.

-If they sponsor Gordon or Johnson, I flat out won't use/eat/drink it. Period.
-I DO shop at Home Depot, but then again, they almost always have cheaper prices than (B)Lowe's anyway.
-I DO drink Mt Dew but it's not cuz of Kahne lol.
-I do NOT take Viagra (that would be trying to take the support of Mark a little TOO far HAHA)
-I don't drink any beer, but like avsfan, I hate beer anyway.
-Back when Valvoline sponosred Mark and Havoline was on the 28 car, I would ONLY use either one of the two oils in my car.
-I had no qualms with eating at Hooters back in the days of Alan Kulwicki (still have no qualms either, but that's a different story lol)
-And you can imagine how furious I was when I saw the Star Wars scheme on Rainbow Brite's car ;)
-I do use Sharpie's but that was LOOOOOOOONG before Kurt (IDIOT) Busch

[deogg]

So you take Viagra Deogg ???

Ya beat me to it lol

So does that mean you will be really pissed when Jeff runs the Episode 3 car this year also?

Seriously deogg, get help :p

As if you don't get miffed when your fave athlete/team/driver, etc. absolutely blows it. :rolleyes:

[avsfan21]

Martin didnt really blow it, but I know what you mean. Jeff in last years Coke 600 pissed me off. I can see finishing bad because you get in a wreck or blow a motor. That race was just awful. He just ran bad, I had never seen him run that bad.

Your driver isnt going to win every race. Every race fan should know that. Mark had a solid top ten. Almost top 5. That isnt to shabby.

[deogg]

I was talking about Kurt blowing it. He's not my fave Roush driver (we all know Mark IS), but I follow the Roush guys nonetheless.

Kurt really didnt blow it either, even he said he didnt really have anything for Gordon. If he went to the outside, he would have been hung out to dry just like Gordon was when he went to the outside of Tony with about 25 to go or so.

Thats one of the problems with plate races. It is hard to pass the leader. All the leader has to do is stick to the inside and when someone trys to make a move the person behind them will go with the leader most of the time. Then you go back to the end of the line.

LOL the use or non use of products because of Nascar just cracks me up. Lets see. I love Lowes, but then again I was a manager there, and I made quite a bit of money working at Lowes. I am still loyal to them, as they were good to me when I worked for them. I go to Home Depot, but only if I am in a pinch, and Lowes doesn't have what I need. I really don't care for the store though. I love Pepsi. Always have. I have never liked Coke products. I don't drink Bud, not because of Jr. though. I just think Budweiser is nasty. I like Coors Light, but I am not a Marlin fan. I can't stand Kurt Busch, but I why use any other marker besides a Sharpie? I am a huge Gordon fan, but I won't use Quaker State. Pennzoil, or Castrol only in my cars. Can't stand Matt Kenseth, but love Dewalt Power tools, however you will never catch me drinking a Smirnoff Ice (imagine the ridicule from the guys?). I bet all of you have something made by Dupont in your house. I like Mark Martin, but don't take Viagra. However if someone would ever give me one, I would take it. Hey I am a guy, and any chance I get to make myself look even better with my wife, why not?:D

I like this....I am a Gordon fan but do not endorse all his products.
I go to Home Depot it is near my house, and there aren't Lowe's in Canada. I drink Diet Pepsi because it tastes better....wont put Quaker State in my 4 cyl...only Castrol Syntec..dont eat chips, don't need Viagara yet....but in 30 years maybe so I'll keep that option open...drink Coors light/Canadian as well, but have no attachment to Sterling..I use Sharpie's all the time, as there isn't anything better, and I do not like the Elf...Have Dewalt tools...although I tolerate Kenseth....he is not my favourite...Can't get Interstate Batteries that I know of....Cant stand UPS, Fed Ex is way better.

I bet you find a lot of things made by Dupont in your house that you dont even know. They make a lot of shiot. Dupont is the one that came up with shrink wrap that you put over food. They could have made the insulation in your house. They could have painted your house with Dupont paint. The list goes on.

Glad I never bought XM - I almost did at christmas time - but I am glad I didn't only thing I really wanted on XM was NASCAR - so I am going to wait now and get sirius - wooo hooo

Yep, that is why I am quite happy Dale Jr finished 3rd!! His car looked like junk for most of the day!!

I am really pissed at XM right now. I am a huge metal fan, and they took the only metal station off of XM. So there is no music that I enjoy. I like the Nascar coverage, but it is gone in 2 years. MLB and Nascar are the only things keeping me there.

[Bronko]

My only hope is by 2007 Sirius is bankrupt :rolleyes:. I've had XM for a year, but without Nascar and with Sirius having the NFL, I may be leaning toward switching. I don't know if XM just didn't want Nascar back, or if Nascar sold out XM, but either way I'm really mad at one of the ugliest man on Earth, Brian France :mad:

Busch should've pushed JR past Gordon,if he knew he didn't have enough for Gordon,then why the hell didn't he go with JR? He knew JR's car was crap all day long and he would've had a better chance at passing JR then! That being said,I'm just pissed that JR didn't win his second Daytona 500! I hate Busch and Johnson and mildly dislike Gordon,thank you for allowing me to vent!

When you have a run on a car, you have to take it when you can. To tell you the truth, Gordon wasnt going to leave the bottom. That ment that the only way JR could get past was to go high, and Kurt would have probably stuck with Gordon on the bottom.

Gordon, Rudd hit hardest by Speedweeks fines

In all, 15 violations brought penalities to 11 individuals



DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR announced Wednesday that 15 penalties -- including 11 fines totaling $102,000 -- have been issued to Nextel Cup Series teams resulting from rule violations during the Budweiser Shootout and Daytona 500 race weeks at Daytona International Speedway.

http://i.cnn.net/cnn/images/1.gifhttp://i.a.cnn.net/nascar/2005/news/headlines/official/02/23/daytona_fines/Robby.Gordon.193.jpghttp://i.cnn.net/cnn/images/1.gif
ROBBY GORDON



Two of those penalties were issued to Robby Gordon Motorsports, including the most severe fine -- $50,000 for crew chief Bob Temple -- because of an unapproved intake manifold on the No. 7 Chevrolet discovered during the initial Daytona 500 inspection process on Feb. 11.

Jim Smith, Robby Gordon's car owner, was penalized 25 car owner championship points. The No. 7 was in violation of Section 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing) and Section 12-4-Q (car, car parts, components, and/or equipment that do not conform to NASCAR rules).

Gordon currently has no driver championship points, because the No. 7 failed to make the Daytona 500 field. Smith, however, earned 31 owner points at Daytona. Per the Nextel Cup Series rule book, a car owner receives points based on qualifying results, if their car fails to actually qualify for a starting field.

Four penalties were issued to Wood Brothers Racing because of an unapproved spoiler adjustment on the No. 21 Ford that took place after pre-race inspection for the Gatorade Duel at Daytona (Daytona 500 qualifying races) on Feb. 17.

Ricky Rudd was penalized 25 driver points; Glen Wood was penalized 25 owner points; and crew chief Michael McSwain was fined $25,000.

Also, crew member Marc Smith was suspended from NASCAR competition until March 31. The No. 21 also was in violation of Sections 12-4-A and 12-4-Q.

RICKY RUDD


Pete Rondeau, crew chief on the No. 8 Chevrolet driven by Dale Earnhardt Jr., was fined $10,000 for an unapproved third gear transmission ratio. The violation was discovered during the initial inspection for the Budweiser Shootout on Feb. 10. The No. 8 was in violation of Section 12-4-A and 12-4-CC (unapproved rear end gear or transmission gear ratio).

David Charpentier, crew chief for the No. 14 Ford driven by John Andretti, was fined $10,000 because of improperly attached weight, a violation of 12-4-A and 12-4-W (improperly attached weight) determined during pre-race inspection for the Daytona 500 on Feb. 20.

Also, the following Nextel Cup crew chiefs were issued $1,000 fines:

• Harold Holly (No. 32 Chevrolet driven by Bobby Hamilton Jr.), because of an unapproved fuel cell well (violating Section 12-4-U) found during the initial Daytona 500 inspection on Feb. 11. There were false panels inside the well.

• Jimmy Elledge (No. 41 Dodge driven by Casey Mears), because of an unapproved window net (12-4-Q) found during initial Budweiser Shootout inspection on Feb. 10.

• Jim Penland (No. 23 Dodge driven by Mike Skinner), because of an unapproved window net (12-4-Q) found during initial Daytona 500 inspection on Feb. 11.

• Robert Leslie (No. 33 Chevrolet driven by Kerry Earnhardt), because of an unapproved window net (12-4-Q) found during initial inspection for the Daytona 500 on Feb. 11.

• Beau Tiffany (No. 52 Ford driven by Larry Gunselman), because of an unapproved fire suppression agent (12-4-Q) found during initial Daytona 500 inspection on Feb. 11.

• Stanton Hover Jr. (No. 80 Ford driven by Andy Belmont), because of an unapproved side window (12-4-Q) found during initial Daytona 500 inspection on Feb. 11.

• Hover, because of an unapproved fire bottle (12-4-Q) found during the 500's initial inspection process on Feb. 11.

My old man was at the Vegas test session and said Gordon looked to have a very very strong car. That means he may be pretty strong at Fontana since the tracks are close in shape and banking. I don't hate Gordon like I used to, but I really hope he and Jimmie don't sominate this whole year. I'm hoping to see some new winners this year like Kahne, Mears, Truex, etc. I just have a bad feeling the Hendricks duo will be a ***** to beat this year.
