Bill Elliott update.............
3rd Evernham team? Harley Davidson? UPDATE: hearing that Evernham Motorsports may expand to a full-time 3-car team and that Harley Davidson may be involved with the team in some capacity. NO IDEA if this would involved Bill Elliott or who the thrid driver may be, if it happens.(6-8-2004)
UPDATE: Team owner Ray Evernham dismissed a report that he has signed Harley Davidson as a sponsor for a third team, but didn't dismiss the idea of bringing his #91 team up to fulltime. Evernham says he is just friends with a top company official at Harley Davidson and the official recently visited Evernham. As for the third team, Evernham would like to put the program together and that Bill Elliott would be part of that with the option of driving full-time or sharing the ride.(NASCAR Scene Magazine - need sub to read online)(6-18-2004)
In fact, Bill Elliott and Mark Melling have signed a deal where they will partner for Melling Racing. Elliott's run at Daytona will be a Melling Racing entry because of the Coca-Cola C2 sponsorship. Because Pepsi is aligned with Ray Evernham, Elliott will have to field his Dodge under his own entry, and since Mark (whose late father Harry was a huge investor for the Elliotts) and Bill are working together in ARCA, the Pepsi 400 entry will carry the Elliott banner but could wear the Melling Racing banner.
Have you got any hot tips for this weekend and what's with the C teams? I dumped everyone except Flash and all the other picks are virgins for me this year...
You tell that Doc who prescribed those meds that he owes you 50 points for your Nascar team. ;-)
tubebender distracted me ... can his doctor send me 50 points too?
Sounds like a great idea!!
We can have tubebenders drug company sponsors on our cars. And if the Doc doesn't like Nascar we'll make him sit through at least 3 of our Sunday threads for torture. But first we have to pass this test......

Also, I should really have more points too for choosing Mears over Gaughan. After all he finished 6th (I think) in Fontana and I knew that. Duh... That should have been the first clue based on my handicapping routine. LOL
Just been incredibly busy the last 2 weeks, along with a touch of the flu (global warming my a$$). I figured the team that should've done well at Pocono would do well at Michigan.
I guess you noticed you were missed. lol :-]

Fishing, huh?
Okay, we were concerned. Good to see ya!
Sheesh Steve, your drafting partner looks ahead and sees your car pulling into third place with no driver. Made us all look bad. (well me anyway, I can't speak for anyone else) ;-)
Not to mention that, you scared us.
Besides that, once again I'm still trying to catch up to you.
Great job and congrats on third place in the league. What's your secret, I gave mine up last night. LOL
Work and yard work (some new bushes), with some spring flu, knocked me flat for a while.
Sorry, but melting cheddar is just too sticky to waste when one has a run (watch; I've done a heap of changes for this week's road course event and I'll sink like a rock)
If you're leaving cheddar on the track I'm asking the tower for that dreaded caution flag. :-p
Up...Up..Up..and Away: #12-Ryan Newman and crew chief Matt Borland will make an appearance at Luke Air Force Base in Glendale, Ariz. on Monday, June 28. With the assistance of Luke Air Force Base, Newman and Borland will spend the day at the base going through training prior to taking a flight in a F-16 with the 56th Fighter Wing. The two will go through flight evaluations, life support training, a pre-mission briefing and one-hour mission. The flight will take the NASCAR standouts over Prescott, Sedona, Winslow, Lake Powell and the Grand Canyon, before coming back to the base. Following the mission, the two will some spend time at the Enlist Club signing autographs and taking photos with base personnel, some who have recently returned from duty overseas. This will be the first time either Newman or Borland have been in a fighter jet.(Penske Racing PR)(6-23-2004)
By all means throw the flag; I need to pit for tires :-)
Pits are open next time by. 4400 RPM
My driver " "I'm real tight in the middle, and the tires are chattering all through the center ... I think a lot of these guys got a lot more (suspension in the) right rear than we got. That's what we need. It plows all the way through the center and all the way off. As soon as they get up on my left rear quarter-panel, I gotta lift or else I'll end up in the fence."
Taking 4 tars and fuel. One round down on the track bar. ;-)
Sonoma=BRAKES BRAKES BRAKES.......if ya got no brakes you are in the gravel pit!!
eeewww!!!
