Re: NASCAR thread
So the word is JGR is going to announce today officially what we have known since February. Tony Stewrat is leaving Joe Gibbs. I really don't like the guy as a person, however I applaud him doing this. He want's to own his own team and is taking a gamble leaving a successful organization like JGR(Toyota traitor). I don't think Stewrat was very excited about being in a Toyota either.

I think that is more the reason than Toyota!! Hey Tony, Enjoy being as competative as Michael Waltrip in your new team!! Take Mike's advice, get as much $$ up front before they see how crappy you run, cheat a little and complain alot, that should get a couple of years before your sponsors begin to bail (if you don't get thrown in jail for punching a kid who asks for an autograph after your 20 consecutive crappy finish). On a seperate topic, Anyone see the stories about how few fans they had at the Daytona Firecracker 400 (yeah, I know that is what they used to call it back in the day!) http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2040970/posts Love the comments on this story. And I love how they blame the lower numbers on the economy. Check the stats on all race tracks over the last couple of years, most will have similiar declines. Heck, if you want spring Bristol tickets, you can buy lots for under face! You might even be able to get some good deals on August race tickets if you look around and stay away from ebay!! Thanks to NASCAR & the powers in control for screwing up a really great sport.

Re: NASCAR thread
It used to be a great race when there were drivers I cared about and hated. Now, I just don't care about any of them. You will have a great time. Bristol is an experiance besides the race. Are you camping or staying at a hotel? Do you know where your seats are located?

Re: NASCAR thread
Just read that 'Zippy' is not going with Stewrat to Haas/CNC. Very surprised at that. They worked very well together.
With Cup qualifying rained out for Saturday nights race, it'll give more cars the chance to pass up Dumbo...maybe even some Chevys as well!

I heard that also. Also heard that Home Depot is staying with Joe Gibbs. Gibbs is tight with the Co-Founder of Home Depot/ Owner of Atlanta Falcons, Arther Blank. We should start a pool on when Tony looses it and lashes out at a fan/reporter/crew member/crew chief/nascar official/grandmother/child/puppy as an owner! I say at either the Richmond or Bristol races.

Re: NASCAR thread
I'm not sure where the seats are yet cause we will get our tickets in a couple of weeks but we are staying in a hotel in Sevierville (Not sure on the spelling). This will be my second time at Bristol. I went to the day race a few years back.

Stewrat will have a big time meltdown rip dumbo's ears off and then shove them up an ESPN reporters when asked how he feels about his teammate and being knocked out of the race. As for Stewrats sponsor next year it looks like Office Depot. |

Re: NASCAR thread
And I predict #18 will be hated regardless of finish...but, he's earned it...
(but I do have to say I really enjoyed Stewrats start last night in the Nationwide series...I've never seen anyone shift into reverse when the green flag drops...)

Re: NASCAR thread
It's amazing that last night so much of the pre-race was spent talking about toning down the unfair advantage the Toyotas seem to enjoy. They've been relatively untouched since their introduction to Cup/Nationwide racing. NASCAR might actually be listining to their fans and gettign poised to do something about it. My favorite line last night was how a monkey could win in the Camrys. Fit Busch to a 'T'.
Now if NASCAR can steer their way clear of their lastest 'action'; possibly putting money towards ****** *****s ********* campaign...(darn, the p0litical post filter got me...)

Brian (Traiterous Weasel) France drives a Lexus.
That says it all for me. What a great American. (NOT!!!) Wonder what he paid for it.

Re: NASCAR thread
He probably got it for free when he let Toyota pace so many races and supply support vehicles (unsold Tundras).

Re: NASCAR thread
Im actually a Stewart fan but I do like Kyles attitude. And Gibbs is a class act no matter who he coaches for (excluding the cowboys).

Yep.
Not a Ford, but at least American.

Re: NASCAR thread
Good close ending to the race. I think Kyle drove the wheels off that car. Unreal.
