The true Carl shows his face again....Happy not so happy?
From NASCAR.com
"Witnesses said Edwards approached Harvick in the Nationwide garage and the two exchanged sharp words, after which Harvick turned to walk away and Edwards grabbed him. Harvick then turned and shoved Edwards onto the hood of the No. 33 car, after which a Harvick crew member placed Edwards in a headlock.
At that point the altercation apparently was broken up. Officials from NASCAR had no comment, stating that the incident is a non-issue."

Here's the set-up.
The grass area between pit road and the finish line is where you put up the ring.
During the pit stops the leader has to take on the "Lucky Dog' in a five minute round.
If the LD beats the leader he takes his place.
During pit stops two teams will nominate one crew member to take on another, selected by a drawing conducted by the NASCAR officials. POints will be awarded and drivers will have to swap positions depending on who wins.
Rain delays should have a open tournament for spots and point awarded for takedowns, striking and aggressiveness.

I am disappointed that Harvick doesn't kniow the rear naked choke!
That was a good race! Happy for Burton, but really wish the 9 crew could have won #3! It's not Jimmie's house anymore!
I didn't get to see the race becuase we were at a wedding, but caught the last 15 laps on the radio onthe way home. Watching the highlights on Vicotry Lane, we missed a good one!
Today we went to the ARCA championship race here in Toledo. Wow!! I've been to the track before and to short dirt tracks, but seeing the stock cars on the 0.5 mile ...amazing! It got pretty wild, but was a heck of a race.

One of the cool things about the ARCA race here, is they always have a pre-race autograph session on the track.

And retaliated by taking on Stenhouse Jr. Which got Speed parked by ARCA (not that his car was in great shape anymore!)

Awesome photos Amy! Looks like there are quite a few hot heads racing ARCA. :eek: :D
Thanks! Kinda Scary that Scott Speed is making his first start in Cup at Martinsville this week...a track known to breed hot tempers!Quote:

Did anyone notice the shot of Jeff Burton getting into his car after the National Anthem?
His SO had to grab the jacket off the top of the car.......
Typical, guys always forget stuff on the roof of out cars when we go to work.:eek::D
Well, anyone surprised that Jimmie won:rolleyes:
Hmmmm,Quote:

How do you think KB feels?
I'll take a Chevy win! Don't care who it is. :D
I said this morning I wasn't sure I wanted to watch the Jeff and Jimmie show...at least Denny had a decent run!
And how bout AJ Allmendinger getting a top 15! Nothing against Scott Speed, bu I hate that AJ lost his ride and hope he finds something for next year!
I just crapped my pants.
The prerace interview with JG was hilarious.
JG with the mullet and mustache made him look like a typical 80's porn star.
:D

Mr. Hamlin,
The race is over, can I breathe now?
What a save.
It's no Chevy, but I'll take a Ford win over Toyota.
Congrats Carl!
Here's a question for all you race fans.
Why do I drive around and look at my gas gauge and think to myself, "I can make it for another week on a tank of gas!" then have to fill up the next day.
I don't drive at 180 miles an hour and in circles!
But Carl Edwards makes the finish line on fumes?:rolleyes::confused::o
Nice Driving, Jimmie!! :)
And a PAX on the ABC TV Network ...
30 minutes to go and ABC decides they "need" to switch to "Funniest Home Videos". :mad:
Well that is great. I was at a soccer game and was recording it...Thanks Victory Lane I was able tos ee what happened at the end...Quote:

Mark said we're not going back to Phoenix...Jimmie always wins...lol!
He needs to get over it and like the guy:p:D

'Course that means Carl would would the championship cause he seems to win a lot when I go! ( Ithink he has won 50% of the Nationwide and 50% of the Cup races I have been to)
Congrats Clint and was that TS sounding a little sad?
Thanks to TS for giving me the # 20 to really root against for a while, then turning me around.:p:mad:
I missed the pre-race :( Carl is looking strong, but Jimiie hasn't blown up yet. Some one take him out!
I'd love to see Tony go out on a win. His car looks good, but those Rousch cars are har dto beat at Miami.
Truck race Friday was amazing! I wish they had more of their races on regular TV so more could enjoy them. That is one of the most exciting series in all of sports!
How do you like the 2010 pace car? :D
They interviewed Tony just after he had hugged/shook hands with every member of his team. He was quite emotional. Other than that there wasn't much out of the norm.Quote:

I had a hope there for a minute when Tony was leading, but of course it just wasn't meant to be.
Farewell to the 2008 NASCAR season...come on season 2009 and #14:D
Must be Carl's healthy diet...helps him make his own gas or soemthing....Quote:

I sure hope things go well for him next year and can't wait til we can start by #14 gear!
Some one.......start the countdown clock to Daytona.
I'm stuck with Football, Hockey and B-ball for a few months.:eek:
I believe Friday they said 91 days...which means we are down to 88!!Quote:
