Nascar 2008

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."

. 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.

YEAH!!!!!

Mixed Martial Arts during the yellow flags and rain delays.


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!)

They were racing 3 wide all the way around the track...


Ouch!

Thanks! Kinda Scary that Scott Speed is making his first start in Cup at Martinsville this week...a track known to breed hot tempers!

[Moesha]

Maybe he'll be the next "dart without feathers"!

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.

How do you think KB feels?

[ramanth]

I'll take a Chevy win! Don't care who it is.

[Cincy'sMom]

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!

[RICHARD]

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.

The race is over, can I breathe now?


What a save.
