I know this is crazy. my wife was into auto racing and after she died last year I thought about the possibility of starting a race team, similar to what Joe Gibbs has done. But I obviously don't have money like that. (I'm still on disability). I've talked it over with several people and they all tried to discourage me due to all the money involved. I don't know. But if you can put together a good team, a good car, a good crew, a good driver, then you can get the money and you can win. I don't see any reason why I couldn't do the same.
Don't ask me why i keep thinking about this. It makes no sense to me. I never gave it a thought until after she died.
If any of you are already doing this - how did you get started? Everyone pretty much has told me there's no faster way to spend money. So? Who cares? oh well, it's just money. What's money anyway. If you want to race you find a way. Right?

INDIANAPOLIS -- Kevin Harvick was summoned to the NASCAR principal's office following the Allstate 400 to clarify post-race contact on the backstretch with race winner Tony Stewart.



Harvick said it was a standard congratulatory love tap, not retaliation for racing contact his team felt might have cost him the race. Thus he won't be penalized, NASCAR said.



Harvick and Stewart were racing for the lead with nine laps to go and made contact, caving in the left front fender of Harvick's Chevrolet and hurting the aerodynamics of the car. Harvick quickly dropped through the field and ultimately finished seventh.



"The car just won't go with 100 pounds of downforce knocked out of it," crew chief Todd Berrier said after the race.



Harvick was not happy.



"He's always the first one to whine about people not giving him enough room, and I gave him plenty of room all day to race, and he winds up knocking the left front fender off, and we wound up finishing seventh," Harvick said. "It is what it is. Just race them how they race you."



Stewart said he made a mistake.



"I didn't mean to get into Kevin," Stewart said. "Winning that way would have ruined winning the Brickyard 400."

But you've got to admit that Jeff Gordon is the premiere driver of his era. Over the last 10 years, everytime you look on ESPN, there's Jeff Gordon winning this race, winning that race. Some people don't like him. But hey people don't like Barry Bonds either and he's still about to be the new HOMERUN KING! He seems to make more money than anyone. Stats say that he's won more championship cups than anyone of this era. He has more endorsements than any of the other drivers. What do the haters think about that?

Jr..seemed to be struggling to know what to say and he seemed hyper...he is usually laid back...i think he is on cocaine to deal with all the pressure from his teams to hendrick motorsports and other things.

...for blurting out "bull$h!t" on live TV?

He was elated and exhausted, but NASCAR didn't care when Junior cussed under similar circumstances, and he got fined for it.

I'm so happy for my boy Smoke, and I don't want a language fine marring that awesome win!

Was it just out of inpatients or was there something else?

And what about Jimmie Johnson? That was 2 races in a row where he wrecked out. But at least he is ok. Not a JJ fan, but glad to see he got out of that car so fast.

WHY? or How Can "Kahn" win 6 Races in 2006 and be in the Basement, this YEAR, along with most other "Dodge Drivers" except, (Maybe), # 42? Even when he qualifies "GOOD", pretty soon it's, "FALL BACK 10-15 Spots" I have been a NASCAR fan for 25 Years, it seems to me that the "Competition" is getting "Worse" than better, with the bodies all looking the same. And I'd bet; if the "Truth be Known", the AHDBTs', are "Cheating", with the "New Engine" series, as they are consistently occupying most of the "TOP 10 Slots" this year! (Hey!, I hate "Chevys", and I even Own one.) It should be: "Run what Ya' Brung" with "Motors" and a "Stock Body"! Casey WON! the Only time this Year, he drove the "BuschCar"(I Think)! Why doesn't he drive it, every time, when the "Nextel' is at the same "Track"? It may be my Imagination, but it seems that last year, when that occurred, he did better all around!

Is there any history of starting 3 wide?
Just curious, like in the real ~old~ days or has it always been 2 wide?
What would happen if they did start 3 wide, like at the bigger tracks? Or would it just a big ol' wreckfest?

IRL, CCWS, Nascar: They're all GREAT series', packed with loads of talent worthy of our admiration. WHY must the fans vehemently bicker about which is "THE BEST"? Can't folks just enjoy their preferences without ignorantly comparing apples to oranges?

Each series seems to have it's own particular strengths and weaknesses (as well as plenty of drivers/teams/sponsors with squabbles amongst themselves, to boot!), so who can say which is "BETTER"?

If YOU like one or the other; enjoy yourself! Attend their events, PAY for your tickets to show your support, yak it up with other fans on the message boards, and keep your vile mouth shut when it comes to "OTHER" leagues (because you're boring when you gripe about something you know nothing about -- other than it's not your fave!)

It's all just so juvenile...
