I suggested the same rules for NFL football. Everyone ties. I realized the game would never start. Is that a problem? FAIRNESS!!!
They fixed that issue in Dallas with an overpass. Strange feeling on top, I can only imagine in the vehicles underneath.
What do you think of the top ten in points donating some to Mtnclimber... just like the tax code
I think, as you will soon discover in the tax code, that if you have a job or a retirement program, you are considered wealthy and not in the “entitled” class.
Thus any points translates to “no help”. ;)
Yes, I sent in my income redistribution forms to IRS and Colorado Department of Revenue yesterday. They would not take NASCAR Racing League points in lieu of money.
So basically what you were offering them was next years points for this years taxes?

I'm sure the State of Texas would have taken them, but we don't have a state tax.
Cool thread - wish I was going.
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (April 13, 2010) – JR Motorsports will undergo a driver change to its No. 88 NASCAR Nationwide Series team effective this weekend when the series races at Texas Motor Speedway, general manager and co-owner Kelley Earnhardt announced today.
The organization has released 25-year-old Kelly Bires from his contractual driving duties of the No. 88 Chevrolet. NASCAR Sprint Cup Series regular Jamie McMurray, driver of the No. 1 Bass Pro Shops/McDonalds Chevrolet for Earnhardt Ganassi Racing, has agreed to a deal that puts him in the No. 88 JR Motorsports Chevy for nine races. Those races include the six upcoming Nationwide Series events – Texas (April 17), Talladega (April 24), Richmond (April 30), Darlington (May 7), Dover (May 15) and Charlotte (May 30) – plus Chicagoland (July 9), Atlanta (Sept. 4) and the return trip to Charlotte (Oct. 15). Hellmann’s will be the primary sponsor in all but two of those races, and the Suave Men brand will be featured on the No. 88 at Chicagoland Speedway.
A native of Joplin, Mo., McMurray is the reigning Daytona 500 champion. He is a seven-time winner in the Nationwide Series with 27 top-fives, 59 top-10s, and three pole awards. No driver decisions for the No. 88 have been determined beyond McMurray’s nine races.
“We are extremely appreciative of Kelly Bires and wish him the best,” Kelley Earnhardt said. “Internally, it was evident the chemistry that is imperative for us to succeed in this highly competitive industry was simply not there. That is the fault of no one person. We owe it to our fans and sponsors to make necessary adjustments in an effort to put our best product on the track, and we’ll continue evaluating our progress until we are confident that our full potential is being reached.”
Do you think they just MIGHT get the message now?
OK, that’s a rhetorical question, of course they won’t get the message.
Ya mean Mark is actually going to retire?
Of course - no problem even though MM’s contract goes through to 2011
Somethings amiss - wait for it
Did anyone read my post about McMurray - ?
That's Racin Recap Here...

Kasey Kahne has found a new team for 2011.
FOX SPORTS POLL
*
Is Kasey Kahne making the right move by leaving Petty?
o Yes
o No
The superstar driver is heading to Stewart-Haas Racing in 2011 along with current sponsor Budweiser, a source told FOXSports.com.
While not confirming his future destination, Richard Petty Motorsports released a statement saying Kahne informed them that he would not be returning after his contract expires at the end of the season.
“Drivers like Kasey Kahne are the very reason we got into this sport. Kasey has helped us get to where we are today,” Richard Petty Motorsports owner George Gillett said in the statement. “We wish him well in his future however we have the rest of this season to race together and we’re looking forward to a successful remainder of the year.”
The 30-year-old driver has 11 wins, 43 top fives and 79 top 10s in Sprint Cup competition since 2004. His best season to date was in 2006 when he won six races and finished eighth in the championship.
This has been a tough season for Kahne. In his first season driving a Ford, he has just two top-10 finishes in the first seven races and is mired in 26th in the standings.
“We all wish him nothing but the best and hope he succeeds in anything he chooses to do,” said Richard Petty in a statement.
A worthy cause!!! I'm in McKinney, but I am familiar New Braunfels and Deitz. Probably can't make it to this, but I wish y'all well.
Oooooooo, great graphics.
I want to go to there.
