I was at the Talladega race yesterday and all I can say is WOW! The TV cameras don't do it justice. To be there hearing, seeing, and smelling it live was unforgettable. Tire smoke, fire smoke, screeching tires, Tony airborne, cars on fire, missing half their body work or half their body length was just amazing. If you have never been, you have got to go. Sitting at ATL waiting to fly home and can't wait for the next race.
How about the news that the truck series is going to be racing at Eldora next year? Thats going to be crazy! If you're unfamiliar with Eldora, its the DIRT track, Stewart owns here in Ohio.
But they only placed Gordon on probation until the end of the season, 1 more race and Brad until Dec 31. If that had been Jr, JJ,Gordon, or one of those type guys with the phone all they would have gotten is a warning from NASCAR. There is a definite double standard in this organization and you see it all the time.
I just for not for the life of me understand them. Does anyone remember how ecstatic NASCAR was after he made his tweet during the red flag at Daytona? They went on to ENCOURAGE social media use from the drivers and said Brad is breaking no rules. Now they penalize him? Wtf?!?!
NASCAR shows favoritism towards Chevrolet, their cars, drivers and teams. Brad most likely will win the cup and he drives a Dodge, so since JJ wrecked, and Gordon acted like an ass wrecking Bowyer on purpose and JR sucked all day thats why they fined and put Brad on probation too. It's the NASCAR double standard which has been going on since the 426 Hemi's were dominating in the late 60's early 70's. It is still the only motor banned by NASCAR, and why they would not let Dodge run the current generation Hemi. Chevrolet got a new engine package when they asked for it, then Ford, then Toyota, but Dodge was made to wait, why? This is why I believe Dodge is actually pulling out again, hopefully this time with the Cup and the middle finger!
The charger look very fast today, 4th in last practice, and logano hiting the wall so brad start in first row...........good luck to him and dodge....nascar day in my gagrage today friends,beer,and chiken wings:bigthumb:
Dodge didn't plan on leaving NASCAR they were hoping to expand with the
new car and maybe another team, they got screwed by Roger Penske when
he decided to switch to the blue oval camp. Penske is the only builder of
Dodge Sprint Cup engines right now and even if Dodge secured another team
you can't have your competition building your engines. Dodge thought about
building the engines themslelf and selling them to the teams like what Toyota does with Gibbs and Michael Waltrip Racing but the start up cost would be astronomical.
That’s NASCAR’s new fun-loving, beer-chugging champion. There is only one thing he likes more than his cell phone and a good time—winning races and championships.
“I want to come back next year and be better than ever and find that next level of success,” he said.
Oh, and there is one more thing he would like.
“I’ve always wanted to date a celebrity,” he said. “I’m just throwing that out there. I think that would be cool. … Not a Kardashian, though.”
