Nascar 2008

Sounds like you had a great time! I haven't been getting my regular NASCAR experiences lately because I have had to clean lake houses on Sunday afternoons. That means I can have the races on while I clean, but I don't get the radio chatter.

So, I'll open the can of worms...
What's the deal with the magnets on the throttle pedals on the JGR Nationwide cars?

No idea....I can understand that they are probablly frustrated that they have put together a great engine package, and NASCAR keeps trying to take horsepower away. So they work to get it back, and NASCAR wants to check again, and maybe take away more?

The magnets would keep the throttle from opening all the way and "hide" some of the horsepower they have gotten back. Bad decision!!!! It will be interseting to see who was behind it (if they ever say) and what happens to them.

NASCAR put out a statement saying that the magnets were from the little suction-cup compasses that were mounted on the windshields of the JGR cars.

Apparently, the pit crews didn't clean up the mess from the compasses that were broken in previous crashes.

Gibbs Racing will be installing GPS systems to replace the old fashioned technology.

Temper, temper!


Did CE really tap KB?


KB looked like he was all over the track on his own!

Oh, well.......At least when you try to wreck someone, do it when it counts?

I find it rather amusing that Kyle has earned this reputation as the new guy that will knock anyone out of his way. Then when it happens to him, he gets all mad and says, "Fine, if that's how you want to race..." Kyle has been doing the same thing all year. People have been telling him that and complaining about his driving style because of it. Now, he's on the other side and doesn't like it. LOL

I liked Edward's logic...

What Would Kyle Busch Do?

Touche'!

It seemed like Carl was getting awfully defensive in the media center after the race. He's right...he did exactly what Kyle would have done. Can't blame him at all!

I finally got my pictures from Michigan uploaded (all 400+) The album is here:
