Nascar 2007

How did it pass PRE-race inspection?

Sounds like a nit-pick.

From NASCAR: http://www.nascar.com/2007/news/head...ver/index.html
"Edwards hopes some post-race bumping from teammate Greg Biffle is the cause for the infraction.
"The worse case would be 25 points, the right-rear being low -- any engineer or crew chief in the garage will tell you that's the last thing you want," Edwards said. "You want the right-rear to be high.

"The only thing I can think of is at the end of the race, Greg came up and gave me a couple of love taps to say 'good job, good race' and hopefully they find that that bent the tail of the car down a little bit. There are some braces bent under the decklid so hopefully that's what it is."

I do think it is being a little picky, but the history has been set with Kurt Busch and Johny Sauter earlier this year, each docked 25 points and $25,000 for similar cases. Jeff Gordon also had one in the Duels at Daytona, non-points race. He wasn't fined, but didn't get the starting position he "won" by winning that race.

Did anyone notice that the race officials kept the Pit crew away from the car when Edwards finally stopped at the end? Check the tape! sd

I already saw #88 memorablila on sale.......

Sheesh, I am disappointed in how cut throat NASCAR has become..


Does that mean that Dale Jr. can set up a sting to get his number 8 back?

[Angus's Dad]

How bout that "fight" between Kyle and Denny. Were you taking sides Mark?

Yes I did, stupid move on Denny's part.

[RICHARD]

Always cheer for the man in the helmet.

Polycarbonate beats flesh anytime of the year.

[Cincy'sMom]

Yes I did, stupid move on Denny's part.

Tony may be rubbing off on him! Add Shrub to the mix, and Gibbs driveres will be taking people out every week!

[RICHARD]

I got myself a nice DE Jr. insulated can cooler for a buck and a half at Target....

It has the number 8 on each side, If I spin it fast when I get drunk it will say '88'

All is not lost!

Rain delay!!!
I hope they will be able to get the race in but we are in for some strong storms according to the weather channel. We are 90 miles south of KC and it's not even started raining here yet.

Awww poor Shrub, I almost feel sorry for him

[Cincy'sMom]

Awww poor Shrub, I almost feel sorry for him

Yeah...almost!

Come on rain! We need another Red flag!

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Yeah...almost!

Come on rain! We need another Red flag!

You got it! lap 148. Looks like the rain will last the rest of the day according to the radar! Tony Stewart is in the lead right now.

[Cinder & Smoke]

Come on rain! We need another Red flag!

Now,c'mone ... the Red Flag isn't the way to "win" a race!

Butttt ...

Grrrrrrrr!


EVIL Thoughts to the TV master-minds!
After watching 45+ minutes of the Talking Heads *babbling* about their theories of Life & Racing ...

They announce at 5:55 PM the over-the-air Broadcast will end ---
and to feel free to switch over to PAY-TV / ESPN2 to see the end of the race!


Makes ya wanna watch Foosball!

/s/ Phred

[RICHARD]

Makes ya wanna watch Foosball!

/s/ Phred

Or hockey or baseball or cow riding or women's soccer or some open wheel racing or wackiest police chases!

I was losing track of what to watch.....now that most of it is over I can watch racing and football!

Shortened because of darkeness?

Why not let them run with the headlights on?

Well if this wasn't one of the crappiest races I've ever seen

First the 2 rain delays, they changed the channel they were airing the race on, then the decision to cut the race to 225 laps, then to 210 laps, then Tony gets wrecked by Crappy Kurt Busch when he should have won, and then no green-white-checker finish

NASCAR just makes up the rules as they go along

UGH!!!

We were at a friend's house, and snuck in the hosue to flip on the TV....all I saw was Ton'y car in the garage I have it on DVR (hopefully!) so I can watch what happened, but it sure did seem like the rules were changing alot at the end!
