ya but look at the 1 man teams ....soon they r gonna be done over do to the franchising and the muti million dollar sponsorships

The single car team, along with the Driver/Owner concept (see Allan Kulwicki and Robby Gordon) is a dieing thing.  No denying that.  But as with anything that grows and changes, some parts are tossed, some are kept.  The above will be a thing of the past in a very short period of time.  Honestly, I give it 5 years, tops...then there wont be anymore single car, owner/driver teams.

I'm all about NASCAR staying close to its roots, but I am also very much in favor of good hard, clean racing...oh and trading a little paint now and then hehe.
The COT actually brings the racing closer to what we had in the late 70's and the 80's...the era before all these massive teams and sponsors.  It does that in very many ways really.
The COT is closer in template to a "stock" (dealer delivered street car) than NASCAR has seen in better than 20 years.  The splitter and the wing (both of which I love tyvm   ) are a huge part of that return to "really driving" the car, not letting the engineers and the aero team do your winning for you.  Its much more back in the hands of the drivers.

Wonder where ig will be sitting hehe

gonna be a great race for sure

yeah, thats the least he could do...but he may be too high to take a good pic hehehe
hell, I just hope he has good weather...watching a 500 mile race in unpleasant conditions is grueling.

Whoot...way to go NSCRC

http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/headlin … index.html

Indeed they did increase the fine for the CC on the 7 car, but all other penalties have been rescinded.

Good call imo.

Jack Roush has been quoted as saying "Its like 16th century justice"

We are about to see another Roush tirade...no doubt in my mind

See the poll on NASCAR.com about Edwards' penatly? 

I like NASCAR being consistant in the penalties assed.  It gives the fans some believe that NASCAR is not playing favorites as it has appeared to do so in the past. 

I also like the NSCRC's decision on Robby Gordon.  I'm disappointed in the increase in the fine.  but it certianly is a good decision overall given the circumstances that probably won't be duplicated in another 50 years.

*strangely attracted to Stingrays Karma*
*shudders*

hehe

Yeah, I've seen the poll, and voted on it hehe, in the majority I might add

And yeah, I agree it probably wont happen again in that way, thats what I like to call "random happenstance" 
I still think Dodge or GEM should cough up the cash.  We may never know the final dispostion of that little fact.

Imo, NASCAR has always been consistant, no matter if I agree with the call or not.  I gotta give it too NASCAR for being straight.
Sometimes, I think they go a little overboard, and others, I think they fail miserably...but hey, that being a sunday afternoon CC too...so...


I cant wait for Wendy to interview Jack this weekend, its gonna be a scream hehehe

New Gay photo of Kasey Khane prancing around in an upcoming Allstate commercial.

I'd shoot myself if I had to do that and wear that queer looking fire suit.

Picks for this week?

Ok...
My picks (top 5) for the Kobalt Tools 500 this week:

48
24
88
29
99
*
20
18

I know it sounds like a broken record guys, but you gotta look back at past history.  The Hendrick organization is just stong everywhere, I dont pick'em because I love'em...

well, save the 88 hehe

The 20 and the 18 this week, fall into my "but, but what to do with x and y".  They both run strong here and I could have thrown the 11 into the mix, but I already kinda feel like 2 "alternates" are enough.

Atlanta is famous for last lap passes, an unexpected winners.  Look for sunday to be one hell of a race.

*Edit: as clarification for anyone keeping score, my alternates are kinda "also rans" i.e. if the guys I pick for the top 5 (in no particular order) arent in the top 5, I expect these "alternates" will be.
