I think that Amy is putting the “hints” to Him, She wants a Baby, JR wants to go out on Top and then start doing BBQ Competition's.

SR- Well that opens up a whole ‘nuther Can-O-Worms.

Sprint Cup teams to run new rules package at Kentucky in July: Steve O'Donnell, NASCAR's Executive Vice President and Chief Racing Development Officer, announced on Tuesday that NASCAR has delivered to the Sprint Cup Series teams a rules package that will be raced at Kentucky Speedway on July 11th. So following what's been really well-documented and unprecedented communications and collaboration with NASCAR's OEM partners, the race teams, drivers and Goodyear, NASCAR made the decision to move forward with the package. Some of the changes include:
Reduced spoiler height: The spoiler height will be 3½ inches (down from 6 inches), and the cars will have a 25-inch wider splitter extension panel (radiator pan, was 38 inches), and the splitter will have a 1¾ inches less overhang than the current splitter.
Tires: the tires for the event will have more grip than in 2014, but they are not specifically built for the package.
Practice: Teams will be afforded extended practice time (4 hours) on the racetrack, and that will occur opening up Wednesday, July 8, for them to tune their race cars.
Some Q&A's about the package from the NASCAR Teleconference with O'Donnell:
Q. And then what will you look for at Kentucky to determine whether this is a success or whether it's something you might want to see again in future races?
O'DONNELL: "I think ultimately that's up to the fans, but certainly we'll look for -- we've been very, very vigilant in talking about tighter racing. I think we've achieved that in terms of 1st to 43rd. You see that those teams are closer than ever, but we certainly want to see more lead changes on the racetrack. We'll evaluate not only that but a number of different factors coming out of Kentucky and see what we can learn and potentially what we can implement down the road."
Q. A couple of quick things: I didn't hear you address whether or not the package will be used beyond Kentucky, or is that going to be the only race where it's in place this season? And also, how much of a risk is putting that package on the track without extensive testing?
O'DONNELL: "Yeah, on your first question, this is a Kentucky package only, but any options are on the table coming out of Kentucky. But for now, that's been the dialogue with the industry. And as for your second question, I'd go back to we've had an extensive testing plan with the industry over the last 18 months. The teams have some data on this package, so we feel confident, and we wouldn't implement this if we didn't feel confident as an industry to implement it at Kentucky. And then you also look at some of the things, even in a test, there's only so much you can learn, and then you validate it ultimately at a race, and we feel like that's the direction we're headed."
Q. And can you also talk about testing -- the concept in our sport of testing during a race, they'll have Wednesday, but it's like some people have said, the off-season should be longer so that maybe this testing could be done then, but obviously you need all the cars on the track in order to test this fully.
O'DONNELL: "Yeah, let me be clear. This is not a test; this is a race. This is the Kentucky package, and we have tested this over the last 18 months. There's been a number of tests done. There's been a number of simulations done. The OEMs are involved. I want to be very clear that this is the Kentucky race package and not at all a test for us."
Q. And again, do you plan to add any sort of tire tests or anything for future looks at this package?
O'DONNELL: "Still looking at that."
Q. Worst case scenario, if Kentucky is an abnormal race, if there are an abnormal number of cautions, if it's rain delayed, rain interrupted, if it doesn't go full distance, if drivers don't really ever get a chance to run a significant number of green flag laps, is there any chance y'all will just throw out that result and say, okay, we can't use this as a template, we'll try again somewhere else, or are you all in based on Kentucky, period?
O'DONNELL: "No, that's a good question. Let me back up on a couple things. So we're opening up on Wednesday. Number one, you want to look at any feedback you get from the industry, safety, anything, we want to make sure that the package meets anything that we've seen in simulation, so we've built in time for that. We've built in time if it does rain and we lost Wednesday, we've got a plan in place with the industry of getting practice time in. And then from there if you get to the race, I would say this is still a specific Kentucky race package, so I wouldn't say we're building our entire rules package by any means on one race, and it goes back to what I've said earlier, and this has been on me in terms of describing the 2015 rules package in its totality, and if you go to Las Vegas and the race maybe wasn't as good as we all had hoped, is that an indictment on the entire year's package, and it shouldn't be, because it's specific to that race, and that's more where we want to go in terms of having that rules package, more specific to the race, to put on the best race possible as we head into each track that weekend.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. proposes to girlfriend Amy Reimann

By on Jun 17, 2015, 7:12a +

Bill Streicher-USA TODAY Sports

NASCAR’s most popular driver is getting married.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. proposed to girlfriend Amy Reimann while on the couple was vacationing Wednesday in Germany.

Earnhardt popped the question in a Lutheran church that he tweeted his family had attended seven generations and 300 years ago. Reimann shared the engagement via a Twitter post featuring a picture of them inside the church.

"I'm completely overwhelmed with love & joy," Reimann tweeted. "Happiest girl in the world! I love you so much @DaleJr."

With the Sprint Cup Series off this week, Earnhardt and Reimann and his sister and brother-in-law traveled to Germany to research the Earnhardt family's lineage. Also along is Martin Friedrich, an information technology specialist at JR Motorsports, Earnhardt's Xfinity and Camping World Truck Series team. Friedrich, a native of Germany, is acting as a tour guide for the two couples.

"I got some specific towns that we're going to go visit that we understand that my ancestors are from," Earnhardt said after a second-place finish Sunday at Michigan International Speedway. "I've been searching my genealogy for about five years now and I made a promise to myself then that I would go to Germany and understand more about my ancestors when I turn 40, so here I am.

"I'm real nervous about flying over there. I haven't flown commercial since 9/11, so it's been a long time. My friends tell me I'm in for a treat. Hopefully it's just a good trip."
