didn't hear Stewart interview.

probably went something like:

"These (insert driver name) just doesn't know what they are doing, I mean they really shouldn't be out here. Its a shame."

3/2/2008 6:20:41 PM

I just got home, what's going on? Why is Jimmie down 2 laps?

3/2/2008 7:04:24 PM

because it's CHEER UP MR SCRUMPLES DAY.

3/2/2008 7:10:18 PM

3/2/2008 7:23:39 PM

Glad I didn't pass up the Chattooga for this. Looks like I'm doing good with my Kenseth prediction.

3/2/2008 7:25:11 PM

But seriously, that sucks for both of us.

Quote :

" There was an “issue” with Carl Edwards’ No. 99 Ford in the inspection following his victory in Sunday’s UAW-Dodge 500. NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Poston said the “lid on oil reservoir encasement – the oil tank box - was found off of the car.” Poston said the car would be taken to NASCAR’s research and development center in Concord, N.C., for further checks. Determination of any penalties would be made following that. Five teams in the Nationwide Series were each fined $15,000 and 25 points for not having covers securely fastened in the race at Daytona in that series. They also were each suspended for six races. "

3/2/2008 11:28:02 PM

Is there a possible advantage to that or is it just a hazard?

3/2/2008 11:41:12 PM

^ i doubt they would risk a 6 week suspension if it wouldn't help them go fast...

Quote :

" The cover on the oil reservoir box in Carl Edwards' car was off in post-race inspection. The tank itself sits inside the box. The cover is supposed to be secured with screws, but it was off. Not loose, off. There is an opening at the bottom through which air flows in from outside the car. Theoretically, having the lid off would allow that air to come up through the car and create additional downforce."

I don't really like Roush Fenway nor Carl Edwards but what they did to punish him shows how crooked Nascar is.

Anyway, what time is qualifying today and what does the rain situation look like?

3/7/2008 12:03:35 PM

edwards' penalty was perfectly just given the shit they pulled (literally). The team had a crew member pull the inner fender panel loose on the left rear to open up a roughly 3" gap in the panel to let air escape from the top of the oil cooler box. Edwards was never hit by another car or had any contact that would make it necessary to pull things loose inside the fenders. Toyota had shown they could pick up a couple hundred lbs of downforce by removing the cover and opening that panel to let the air escape.

I'm glad r.gordon got his points and cc back for that joke of a penalty they issued from Daytona.

3/7/2008 2:08:23 PM

i'm glad i got rid of truex at the last minute.

truex you fucking suck.

the object is to not be passed by every other driver.

3/9/2008 1:32:52 PM

It looks like you made a good call with Kyle. I think this is one of 3 tracks where he doesn't have a top ten.

3/9/2008 2:15:52 PM

what happened to Kahne?? Top 10, then i leave for 2 seconds after the first caution and he's a lap down.

3/9/2008 2:16:08 PM

i dont know what happened to him, but my uncle has him in his draw and i bet he's pissed.

3/9/2008 2:24:18 PM

well there he goes spinning, obviously something isn't right with his car.

3/9/2008 2:29:18 PM

That was a sick camera shot!

3/9/2008 2:32:39 PM

hows junior doing?

3/9/2008 2:34:40 PM

Currently 2nd and led a bunch of laps.

3/9/2008 2:36:33 PM

so wonder why hendrick didnt get rid of mears instead of busch.

mears isnt worth a douche.

3/9/2008 3:04:41 PM

WHERE ARE ALL THE WRECKS

3/9/2008 3:26:29 PM

^^I agree, I think maybe Rick and Kyle didn't groove personally.

3/9/2008 3:34:43 PM

i like kyle more and more everyday

3/9/2008 3:56:00 PM

The Mears' and Hendrick's are all close, as families.

3/9/2008 4:23:43 PM

I thought it was illegal to pass below the white line, what's up with that?

I'm referring to Kyle in the truck race.

3/9/2008 4:38:02 PM

it's illegal to go below the yellow line, at certain tracks ('dega mainly).

3/9/2008 4:57:42 PM
