Here's a shocker...  Stewart Haas moves to Ford next year.

[TruckDriver]

Pretty soon, it is only going to be Ford's and Toyota's

In the DAYTONA 500 there was 20 Chevy's, 11 Ford's and 9 Toyota's

[TruckDriver]

Really? Mostly all they were talking about as the Toyota's & Ford's.

[41husk]

3 of those Chevys were Stewart H :popcrn:aas cars

I never saw a fueling penalty before.

[TruckDriver]

Me either, and from the sound of it, it was just a new rule put inot place that morning or weekend D.W. was saying. BORING race though. I slept through almost all of it, and never missed anything.

[JB400]

Who got the fueling penalty?  I missed the last 50.

[nvrbdn]

kenseth. Gas man laid the track bar tool on the trunk while engaging the gas can. Then his crew chief didn't call him to do a pass through, so he got the black flag with the x which meant he wasn't getting counted for his lap. went 2 laps down and never came back. Was top 5 before that.

snooz fest

[400/6/PAC]

Yeah
My Uncle calls it NAPCAR
That's when He does His best napping. 

[TruckDriver]

For the most part, that is true for me too. 

[41husk]

A win for Brad   It would be much nicer if he was still in the Dodge

[TruckDriver]

Much better then K.B. or Logano. Super boring though. I am not fond of the Vegas track, or Kansas, or Chicago. All those races are boring

Injured Tony Stewart to miss start of final NASCAR season

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/injured-tony-stewart-miss-start-final-nascar-season-185835673--nascar.html

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Tony Stewart will miss the start of his final NASCAR season after fracturing his back in an accident on an all-terrain vehicle, Stewart-Haas Racing said Thursday.   
The three-time NASCAR champion sustained a ''burst fracture of the L1 vertebra'' when he crashed on an ATV Sunday and he had surgery Wednesday, the team said. A timetable for Stewart's return has not been determined, but SHR said he is expected to make a full recovery and race this year.

I had an identical injury also riding an ATV except a piece of the vertebra shaped as an arrowhead compressed my spinal colum0n 88%.

I too was riding on sand dunes, Oregon coast.  Winchester Bay, supposedly the steepest sand dunes in North America.

As I reread his injury it dawned on me that my injury was called the same identical terminology wise. Now I wonder how he crashed?

[TruckDriver]

Now I wonder how he crashed?

Well, he does own the #10 car. Danica is rubbing off on his abilities, nuff said  



I'm sorry, I had to throw that in. I know it's not a funny thing to happen.

[JB400]

Note on Johnson's dashboard tomorrow:  Make sure steering wheel is secure.

I wish they would limit the amount of races a full time cup driver can go down and beat up on the kids in xfinity. I am getting real tired of seeing Kyle down there. I would rather they didn't allow them to drive down there at all.

Basically what I said on a MRN post on FaceBook. Cup drivers have always raced in lesser series, but usually not full time. I would be okay if they said the cup drivers can run in the lesser series, but no more then half of the races every season. I'm tied of seeing Kyle win every race every week too. Although, I did sleep through most of the race anyway, lol.

[400/6/PAC]

I thought the rookies Ryan B and Chase did pretty good Today.
I'm not a huge Carl Edwards fan but He made for a fun finish.

[JB400]

Did everyone enjoy the Xfinity race today?

[Chargen69]

there was a race on?

[TruckDriver]

Yeah, the last 2 laps was worth watching it. It was funny to see how much a sore looser K.B. still is. But all the same, I'll give him credit for trying on a flat tire the last lap.
