  Race Day!  
Kinda a late start today but they WILL start    

Good for the Ol' Guy on the pole, see what he can do in a Yota  

Our local fella is in the third start position...  WOW....  great qualify....  Go Get 'em Regan!    

JR not so good but he ain't at the rear!        

GO 88

Elliott Sadler's win catalysts the announcement he picked up 5 races with MWR and drive the No. 55 Toyota in five Sprint Cup races in 2012 beginning at Bristol in March.

Sadler will also drive the 55 in the other Bristol race- both Martinsville races-JULY race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Elliott's back in the SHOW!      

[Texas Lawdog]

Mark may be 53 years old, but he prolly the most physically fit driver in Nascar. He works out ever day and he can still drive a race car. MWR seems to be doing all the right things, with the hiring of MM and Clint Bowyer and the addition of Elliott Sadler.  I look for the Roush Fords to be strong as well as Tony Stewart today.

[yeti76620]

I'm thinking it will be a Government Motor's day as much as I would like to see the Blue Ovals rock; however, time will tell and I'm banking on a great race today regardless.    

GO 88

[Arcey]

Hoping Allmendinger does well. He’s in decent equipment for the first time off a plate track. Needs to take advantage of it early while the Chrysler stuff is still fresh prior to the change over. I don’t look for Penski to make much noise after the halfway point.

[Texas Lawdog]

I predict a lot of RF blow outs and some dented RF sheetmetal today. Phoenix is a track well suited to Stewart, he should do well today.

[yeti76620]

Wow..... Yota Day...  been awhile for the 11 car..... Thought it was gunna be Have-a-wreck in the Gubbermint Motor Car 'bout ready to pounce on Hamlin for the finish line... still need gas for EFI    

Don't know what happened to the local guy, he just drop'd off..... maybe fuel too....  
 
JR struggled all day....  tuff track for the 88...    

Jack Roush's "Diamond in the Desert” next weekend...    

[Texas Lawdog]

Congrats to Hamlin, a long dry spell. I think Tony might have won if he had not shut off his car to save fuel. It would not re fire. Harvick didn't have enough car left to win. A good third place for Biffle. Wonder wimp and 5 time finished in the top ten. On to Vegas, the Fords should be fast.

[yeti76620]

Have to disagree with ya TLD...... 29 car was ALL OVER the rear wing of the 11 car 'till the fuel cell emptied with two to go....

[Texas Lawdog]

Harvick has learned to take of his equipment till the end of the race and is poised to take the lead near the end.

[Arcey]

Too bad there aren’t more mile or less tracks on the schedule. Watchin’ the thing unfold was interestin’.

[Arcey]

Sadler's deal with MWR looks to have gone away. I was wonderin' how GM 'n Childress were gonna square with him runnin' a Toyota against their stuff. Vickers maybe.

[Texas Lawdog]

Vickers does have seat time in a Toyota when he drove for Red Bull. I'm surprised that he hasn't surfaced as of yet, driving for someone in Sprint Cup or Nationwide.

[Arcey]

He was talkin' of a big deal in the works durin' Speed Weeks. Ain't heard nothin' out 'im since.......

[Texas Lawdog]

Maybe the number of available rides weren't as numerous as I thought.

[Arcey]

Saw an article on the trades in the paper ‘n I was gonna post it but it was a wire so I figgered ya saw it, Tex.

If they draft him they’ve got enough under the cap to get some quality FAs for the O line. I don’t wanna see a kid with potential get beat all ta hell. Worries me Snyder’ll bend to the pressure ‘n start him.






On ‘nother note, someone outta tell Roush that ain’t supposed ta be a Fusion…………………….

[yeti76620]

  RACE DAY!   
Li'l Ricky wins the 'Vegas Nationwide but Elliott still leads the points and that suits me just fine...    

HMS fellas are starting in the top of the top ten [ 'cept the 24  ] so maybe JR will get one today stay'n up front and outta trouble...     

Our local "Mile High" team is back where JR usually starts, Reagan will change that very soon....  

Penski Dodges only ones in the race....  Robby got those cheap "seconds" parts again...    

GO 88

[Texas Lawdog]

Robby is still hooked on the off-road thing. It's goon be interedting to see whether he contunues with left over Chrysler parts or switches to Ford or Chevy. Several of the frontrunners are starting back up cars, so junebug has a good starting spot. I'd like to see him or Biffle win this weekend.

[yeti76620]

WOW!....  JR's led more laps today then all last YEAR!   

GO 88

Is he gunna win today?? ?? 

[Texas Lawdog]

He's having trouble getting back to the front after his tire change. He does have a strong car. I hope he does win, it will do a lot for his confidence. I hope that Johnson has used up his car getting back to the lead and right now ,Tony is behind him, ready to pounce.

[Texas Lawdog]

Congrats to Tony on his win at Vegas. He flat assed out run 5 time. I hate that Matt Kenseth got knocked out of a top 5 finish.  Five time was almost in tears. I wanna send out a big wheel of cheese to Wonder Wimp to go with his whine.

[yeti76620]

The big Crew Chief controversy each got their "Wins" to go even....  Just gotta Love the "Smoke"      

JR got his top 10 finish and if I'm not mistaken he's still in the top 5 in points....  Not Too Shabby!  

Bad day for the Yota's...    

"Thunder Valley" next weekend!  Not as good as it once was but still just as good for what it is....      

[Texas Lawdog]

"Beatin' and Bangin" at Bristol. It is never a dull race. Tempers will flair and folks will be spun out and wrecked. A lot of work for the fabricators next week.

[yeti76620]

Race Day @ Thunder Valley!  
HHHHHOOoooo  RRRRaaaahhhhh  TO Elliott Sadler for his second win beating out the "Cup'rs" and the Kids!  Looks like he's on a mission early with 2 Wins & 2 third placers  ...  NOT gunna get snip'd this year by those Young Bloods....      


I'll be behind my man JR for the win today......  As Usual and NO Surprise here...      

GO 88

COOList head will prevail today and there is NO Cooler then the Rocket Man for the win...  

Rain STAY AWAY! ...Let The Carnage BEGIN!

[yeti76620]

WOW!  Great day for MWR's Yota's...  all in top 5 and NOT wrecked.. go figure   

JR get a last minute speed'n penalty to ruin a great race day....  Oh REALLY?       

Keselowski Starts his winning where he got his last....  4 races 4 winners... 

Next weekend off to the PRC 'n Fontana Motor Speedway....      

[Texas Lawdog]

II mjissed out on the NASCAR and PBR this weekend due to the NCOWS Convention and March Madness. I've never been a Basketball fan. and I know I am in thwe minority. Moose is excited beacuse the Baylor teams are doing good. I'm going read up on the Racin' and Ridin" that I missed out on. I set out some WHine and Cheese for Wonder Wimp and 5 Time for the Fontana Race.
