Harvick does not "drive" for Hendrick..Kevin just runs Rick's engines

I thought I saw Childress congratulate Kevin as well..or did I see someone else?

[JB400]

Speaking of Childress, his youg'un didn't do so well.  Newman did well though.  He was up there playing with JJ for a while.

kevin does have a lot of friends out there,so multiple people will congradulate him.
                                                 

                                                        and not trying to offend anyone,

                                                                                                     but "in my opinion"  hendrick found a way to put more than 4 cars on the track. my opinion again. not gona be the popular thought of everyone. but rick owns tony and his clan "in my opinion".


                  so, in my opinion, yes kevin drives for hendrick.

Seriously?

You mean you didn't buy the line that Tony got a half interest in the team because he's "smoke"/great guy?

You are not implying Rick Hendrick is not the most ethical team owner in Nascar are you?

I mean......it's not like Rick could ever be accused of.....like bribery or something. Or having too much influence with Nascar.......

You might get the idea I'm not a fan of Hendrick........ 

You sure didn't offend me.

I think we knew this, but now it is official.

Looks like 2014 will be Burton's last year as a driver for the most part.

He'll share the 66 with Nemechek and Waltrip for this year before becoming an announcer for NBC next year.

Penske scrap headed to its demise.   

[Highbanked Hauler]

 I'll take the no. 2 off the top.

[Aero426]

I'll take the no. 2 off the top.

Yep.

[chargerboy69]

I'll take the no. 2 off the top.

I would too.

I have heard from a couple people I know who work around the NASCAR world, getting a car from PRS is harder than any other race shop.  I was told by two people it is because they do not want other shops seeing their set-ups.    

With that being said, I have a lead on getting a old Ryan Newman car from SHR, no engine of course. Not sure what I will do with it if I can get it, but it will look cool parked in the garage.

[JB400]

I'm surprised they don't cut them up on the spot.

[Aero426]

I'm surprised they don't cut them up on the spot.

No need to pay their labor for what they consider common scrap.   Plus the build structure is so tightly controlled these days.   Anything proprietary has been removed by the time they hit the flatbed.     

[TruckDriver]

I wonder how many of those actually went from the scrap yard to someone's house before getting destroyed

[A383Wing]

There's a guy up here not to far from me who has one of Davey Allison's old #28 race cars...pretty much complete except for drive train

[Aero426]

This is a fairly recent photo of Bob Brevak's 1990 ARCA championship car.   It is said to be one of Bobby Allison's #12 Miller Buicks.  

[JB400]

Logano on the pole, Keselowski on the outside pole.  Penske on the front row just like last week

[A383Wing]

I hope they take each other out....

[thedodgeboys]

I hope they take each other out....

What to dinner or to a show...

[nvrbdn]

I hope they take each other out....

Nascar takes a shock from Keselowski's car after his win yesterday.   http://motorsportstalk.nbcsports.com/2014/03/08/nns-elliotts-car-found-too-low-shock-taken-from-keselowskis-car/?ocid=Yahoo&partner=ya5nbcs  Wasn't deemed illegal though, yet...

[odcics2]

Shocking news!

[JB400]

Brad was just at the right place at the right time, he had a top 5 to top 10 car.
