I watched em build that track in 2000.  There wern't nothin around there back then.

[Texas Lawdog]

I think they built TMS in about 96 and the first race was in 97. This weekend will be the IRL and the Trucks. It usually rains when the have races here. I sorta hope that it does rain, we could sure use ir.

[Arcey]

Damn. It did come out Monday. Musta been more serious than I thought.

$150,000.00 fine, probation thru Dec. 31st. The ole Actions Detrimental thing. Could be just me but that seems to be a bit much.

[Leo Tanner]

Ouch.  I wouldn't zactly call that fair.

[Texas Lawdog]

The fine was too much and KB needed to be taken down a few notches. Richard handled it "old school"!

[Arcey]

Old school don't always werk tho.....

Bud Moore tells the tale of him goin' after Turner with a tire iron after Turner had tore up one of Moore's cars. Sez he found Pops sittin' on a stack of tires 'n as he walked up, Pops had a revolver.

'What ya gonna do with that iron, Bud?'

Moore said he smiled. 'Well, Curtis. Ya see, I been carryin' this thing around all day 'n I'm lookin' for a nice place to put it down.' With that Moore put it down 'n backed away.

Moore said he was so mad he'd ah beat Turner half ta death if he hadn't had the gun.

 

[Texas Lawdog]

I had not realized that Bud was a decorated WW2 Army vet. He received 5 Purple Hearts in addition to his other decorations. He was in D-Day as well.

[Texas Lawdog]

They wound up with a butch of tore up Trucks last night. Poor Ol Dillion seemed to be in the wrong place at the right time. The end of the race ended in controversy, between Sauter and Hornaday. A tough call to make, I'm glad that I'm not the one to make that decision.

[Arcey]

Sauter seemed to be a l'il pissed.......

Got a kick outta Bodine. Tried ta take out the 18 'n when that didn't work he took out the 81..........

Old School is the best school....  has Honor and Respect with a simplicity..      Yes the Toad needs to be knocked a notch or two by the Field help'n him into the wall for the rest of the season ...... Uncle Joe can feel some of that pain!!    

Mike Helton is a POS-PAL pick'n Winners and Losers... the Toad must be his butt-boy; 'cause, the Toad has been pull'n this crap for FAR TOO LONG!

RACE DAY!!!....

[Texas Lawdog]

A few years ago, when Jimmy Spencer was still racing, he and Kurt had an altercation on track at a race. Kurt made some remarks to the media about Jimmy's family. Jimmy went to the garage, found Kurt, and puched his lights out. He didn't have anymore trouble with Kurt.

[Leo Tanner]

You don't talk about a man's family.  That rule is older than dirt.

[Arcey]

We'll leave out the part where Spencer popped Busch where Busch was still belted in the car, huh? And the part about he 'n Busch tradin' paint 'n Spencer losin' havin' anything to do with it. Spencer just waited to avenge the family name after the race. Must be.

My favorite Spencer was him gettin' his hiney whipped 'n arrested when he decided the cops weren't takin' his kid to jail when they came to serve a warrant.

Anyway.... From Mr. Excitement hisownself:

Jimmy Spencer says Childress was wrong: from a Jimmy Spencer article on SPEED - But take it from someone who has been there  Childress crossed the line in punching Busch. No one should ever hit or physically confront another individual. Arguing, hurling insults or yelling at someone is okay, but you shouldn't touch them. I picked the wrong way to handle my problem with another Busch brother, Kurt, years ago, and I still regret it. I think Kurt learned something from me punching him but I learned more, and if I had the chance to do it over again, I wouldn't have hit him. I've been in several brawls in my time and nobody ever wins. Childress got off too easy. NASCAR should have come down on him harder than a $150,000 fine. They should have suspended him for three races  that would get his attention. He took responsibility for what he did but never apologized because he's really not sorry. I speak from experience when I say that situations like last weekend's affect the younger generation a lot, especially the kids watching our sport. My biggest problem with what Childress did stems from the fact that he is representing major corporations with thousands of employees. Yet he let his temper get the best of him and he assaulted someone. That gave the sport the biggest black eye it has had in years. Fans and folks inside the sport may think it's funny, but these companies probably aren't happy about having a car owner representing them who assaulted someone.
And believe it or not, I think that Busch's sponsors can be proud of the way he handled himself. We're usually criticizing Busch's behavior, but I admire him for not fighting back and also for staying in the car at Darlington when Kevin Harvick came up to his car on pit road. Busch is the most exciting driver in our sport right now. Yes, he ruffles feathers, but so did the late, great Dale Earnhardt. But Earnhardt didn't outright attack other drivers. I admire Kyle for respecting Childress enough, although he got punched, to not punch back. It takes a strong person not to retaliate.
I still don't really see what Childress was so upset about. Busch wasn't out of line in bumping Coulter's truck on the cool-down lap. Rewind a few laps to when they were putting on a hell of a race for fifth place and Coulter slid up in front of Busch. If Busch hadn't lifted and let him go, both of them would have wrecked. Coulter was the one at fault there, so Busch bumped him after the race to teach him a lesson. That's just part of racing and how you teach younger drivers who are coming along. Sure, Busch did a little damage to Coulter's quarter panel, but he also did the same to his own truck.(in part from SPEED)(6-9-2011)

Spencer grew up in the "bull rings" on Fri and Sat night racing. I worked security at a local track during the 80s. We always had more driver fights than we dis spectator fights. It did get exciting at times.

[yeti76620]

  RACE DAY!!   
Looks like the 29 car is look'n ALL OVER the Toad's butt: push' & Take'n...  Take'n & push'n...        I predict a long day for the 18...      

Hamlin looks really good for today's race....   


GO 88

[yeti76620]

GOOD RACE!!  I enjoyed: however, I DID NOT like NASCAR calling off the 29 & 18 early and those PAL's need to mind their OWN business and stay outta the TEAM's business's....            Gave the free pass to the Toad and Uncle Joe,,,,  Pick'n loser's and winner's again.... 
Dang GOOD DAY for HENDRICK MOTOR SPORTS!!!!!  1ST-4TH-6TH-18TH....  I'm sure somehow to someone it was rigged and  HMS stole it....        Let's NOW hear the cheese 'bout the Wine'r form the Peanut Gallery!          

JR get's another TOP TEN....  Still needs some TOP 5's then a streak-break'n WIN and two or three to get a Crown...  

Too bad 'bout the 11 car's tire....  Thought it was his race.....      

Next week Michigan for Sprint and Nationwide...  Trucks Iowa..  

GO 88

[yeti76620]

Looks like the Toad and Uncle Joe { in the words of RC }"waz caught CHEAT'n  with an ILLEGAL front spoiler adjustment"!!....                Ya mean someone FINALLY LOOK'd??                        

Get a ROPE!    

[Texas Lawdog]

I quit watchin' when it is lookin' like "wonder wimp' was going to win. I was hopin' that someone would pass him. I don't drink wine and I only have cheese on sandwiches and nachos. Michigan has been a good track for the Fords since it was built. We've got an identical track down here near College Station called Texas World Speedway. I attended a lot of Nascar races there in the early 70s.

[Arcey]

Looks like the Toad and Uncle Joe { in the words of RC }"waz caught CHEAT'n  with an ILLEGAL front spoiler adjustment"!!....

An illegal front spoiler adjustment?   Heh, heh, heh.... yea......

Watched the start then went out 'n turned the radio on. Had some gun stuff to do.

[yeti76620]

Conspiracy theorists 'n 'real' racin' 'spurts'll be tellin' ya he did it on purpose so NASCAR wouldn't find the illegal front end set up in all the bent up stuff..........

............  'bout Cuz Carl

An illegal front spoiler adjustment?   Heh, heh, heh.... yea......

Yep.....  That's what he said..... Heh, heh, heh...... yea....  

Spoiler hight was what was stated back then by a reporter......  now it's oil pans....

"The #18 Toyota was found to be in violation of Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4-J (any determination by NASCAR officials that race equipment used in the event does not conform to NASCAR rules); and 20-12.8.1B (body height requirements  car failed to meet the minimum front car heights) of the 2011 NASCAR rule book."

A little more help for ya, the cars don't have "front spoilers".

I really don't know why I bother.
