2nd
OK, supper time, BBL, maybe, if I don’t fall over.
Damn 11 hours shifts get in the way...
Good shot!
Hope I didn’t waste all of my “luck” on being first now.
I know that feeling.
Second place is the first....
um...
Welcome to the thread NYT!
Yep...yer screwed!
I have first hand knowledge of this curse!
LOL... I usually miss the first page of the race thread... not intentionally either.
Ya need ta come around more often...the YaHoo scores show a disturbing trend...
I sure hope that Junior leaves Hendricks this after year.
You are welcome!
Yah. Hendricks is makin Jr look like Kyle Petty.
The kid needs to hook up with Childress.
Nothin but rumors. I don’t pay attention to that conspiracy stuff.
Thanks for the ‘ping’ G.R.
Even w/the ping I’m posting in the mid 20’s. A preview of my score, I fear.
Can’t wait to see who will have the hot wheel this weekend.
I do agree on that one.
Seems to me I heard some scuttlebutt along these lines a few weeks ago.
I really got my intereset working after junior put on such an awesome display at Daytona, running his own car/team.
I don’t believe that Hendricks is helping Junior like they could.
I don’t remember if this is a restrictor plate track
I left the doc’s office and he said just keep goin left
I said like Nascar
he said ....yep
it.....was
Why? He’s on the best team and still sucks. (I’m a diehard Jr fan).
Hendricks is poison for Jr.
Hendricks is JJ and a touch of Flash. Period.
You’d think such a stable could give him a car that contended.
Explain... JMHO.
Well, I think there is more to this. Frickin can’t stand Jimmie Johnson, but if they are getting the same equipment, what’s the problem? Hendrick has the best team in the business.
Perhaps all these “young guns” are closing the gap..... I want to see Jr succeed. I just know what it will take.
Insert don’t after just.
I think that he would do much better with Childress, to be honest.
I wasn’t really kean on his going with Hendricks to begin with. They already had vested interests in keeping their two boys (Gorden and Johnson) at the top of the heap. What better way to do that than to “control” Junior?
As I said...this is just my opinion.
I can go with that. But why not make Jr a winner? He’s got the fan base, sponsors, and name. His season could be worse. And a really question his victory in the #3. It was nice to see but what a coincidence.
Exactly. Again, jmho.
If they put the resources behind Junior that they did Gordon and Johnson, then those two boys would come unglued. Could you imagine what that would be like?
At least that’s the way that I see it.
Remember, that the Nationwide race at Daytona was Junior’s car. His team. That was his deal, separate from his Hendricks deal. If I remember correctly, the engine came from Hendricks, but that was it. The rest was Junior. This is what really got my attention.
Coulda Woulda Shoulda = Jr. Isn’t it ironic that Gannnasi + DEI is having no problem finding drivers who can convey to their crew chiefs what their cars need in the way of adjustment. Like they say in racing, Just my humble opinion...
No way , Dude. You see those seats.. I’d have callouses 6 inches thick.. I was (-11) in ‘43
750cc.. cool..
Here we go off to Pocono.. Thanks for the thread!!!
That!!!
Well...I guess that we’ll just have to see how tings shake out, won’t we?
Wonder when Stroker will start taking his shots at NASCAR.
Gubmint Motors entering their Volt in the 2012 Daytona 500?
High qualifying speeds in excess of 30mph?
Of the 300 cars at the Fortuna AutoXpo this weekend 2 were electric. A Tesla and a old Morris Minor. I’ll post photos later...
Hey, are you going to try to qualify one of those antique, yellow sprat painted tillers in the race? About the same color as a banana sluq!
The owner of this Hot Rod was wearing a robe and had a long white beard much like the Disciples. I never saw the batter pack but I'll take his word for it...
Batteries or no batteries the extension cord was a nice touch...
Guess I should go pick them now, so I can change them every night this week.
Dammm Banana Slugs found the dog’s food dish overnight...
Cheaters never win!!!
Yeah but we try hard!
