Well I know a few sites had the finish order all mixed up. I came up with this and it is what NASCAR has now.
I got one thing to ask NASCAR,
Ok so the Busch brothers might be talking to one another but not helpping one another. I think this is classic. Matt Kenseth pushing Kyle instead of Carl and Kurt pushing Carl instead of little brother.LMAO
Now Carl that might be something to want to punch Matt Kenseth for, NOT!
Maybe if you had not gone at him last year he would have pushed you to the win.
Mikey Waltrip look like it would be a great night after all, this when some drivers started racing without spoters. Not !
Lucky he had another car to slow him down before hitting the wall like the late Dale Sr did, I don't know about you all but it was the first thing that came to my mind seeing Mikey up againts the wall.
So what could cause such a jam pack growd so fast? Kyle Busch bringging them to the green to slow which was a smart thing to do if you can get away with it. If he try to out run them he would have been railroaded later.
I have to ask my driver Dale Jr , what did you think you could push all of that out side line to a victory? Clint Bowyer showed some driving skills by not recking in the many frames to come up againts the wall. It brings me back to the spotters. For the most part you can only say yellow line below and car high, middle row, car high and low. high line its wall high and car low.((Driver yells )) Tell me when I am clear. (( Spotter )) it ant going to happen so eyes straight ahead and just go.
This next one shows Kurt Busch is trying to brake? & foot off gas because you can see the back fire from the side of car near wall lower left being pushed by Clint and Dale Jr with all four bumper to bumper pushing Carl Edwards, I bet if Clint didn't get loose they would have pushed Carl past Kyle before the reck.
Now this is when this line blew it from gaining anymore spots because they had such a push they all had to get control of their car and by then they were not in line anymore. You see Kyle inch more infront of Carl. Robby Gordon and David Cole Trickle hit/ram I don't have this bump drafting down yet Ragan.
Clints spotter must be looking at Marks car saying clear low if you want it. Also maybe Kurt thinks he can get pushed by Carl if he stays high. Not!
Now Clint and David have to save the cars and do very well, This is when Kyle Petty and the booth start to jump out of their pants with excitment saying here it is the big one. Not!
Now Carl has gotten ahead of Kyle Busch and looks like we are going to make it after all. Not!
Mark Martin finds out who his friend is this year. Not! I guess he has to waite till next season to be a team mate. This is Mikey Waltrip down fall because if he did not check up he would have been past the 77 hitting him.
Dave Blainey pushing the #28 to get him loose or he just wanted to make a left hand turn starts it off. The 77 even looks like he knows whats coming and starts to go low. Not! Its the way the car is suppost to look like when running straight. Maybe it look the same to the spotter of the 28 saying he is going low , so clear low. Not!
I think all the cars drove off but this one whitch is darn good for how the cars can take the pounding and keep going.
So we all know who won and I have to ask Kyle Busch what did he throw out of his roof flaps at the end. I know stuff was thrown on to the track. I followed it back when they camera picked up Kyle and I can not find it coming from the air on to the car.
Maybe a rag and he was saying go ahead and throw stuff I will too?
The kid is hot and will be sitting nice when the chase starts. Thats it for this frame by frame hope you all enjoyed it. Take care and God Bless. ...
Clint Bowyer stated a mon key could drive that #20 car to a win and I am her to say yes it can and it did. I am proud to say it was a GGW Racing driver taking that #20 to the win and not Denny, ESPN covered the driver switch during the smoke show, just like they covered up Carl Edwards saying NASCAR got it wrong by not showing what Carl was talking about. Lets get back to the winner. After showing the replay of the Wallace family coming togather for tea and coffee on the track they came to the #20 car sitting on the track and quickly cut to the fireworks.
I got the 1 second frame showing who was driving that car to victory. It was our own Hotfootlori.
I talked to Lori after and she said Tony had set it up with Denny for her to drive the car and if she won do to a great smoke show so they could switch and no one would know. I said you didn't do a very good job on the smoke show. She replied I just won at Daytona and kinda forgot I had to switch with Denny till he was screaming at me to get out of the car. I told her she did a great job and its to bad we have a to be sneaky till NASCAR lets us race again.
On the Carl I left the oil pan cover off because it was the only way I could beat Dale Jr Edwards was right and NASCAR wrong, it brings me to protesting a call in sports. This is called a sport but yet when a NASCAR official makes a call during the race the driver/teams can argue the call but if they try to protest and win they get nothing for it.
How bad is it to look at a replay and see how wrong they got this. The first frame you see the car spinning and you see Carl's white car and Clint in back and even while in the grass the ESPN ticker green light switches to yellow and he is ahead of Clint. You know the yellow had to be drop first before ESPN would switch that light on the screen.
Carl is still ahead of Clint.
Still ahead and still Green light upper left on the ticker.
Now it changes to yellow and Carl is ahead.
Now if Clint passes him any where after this NASCAR broke another rule because Clint is below the yellow line so he can not gain another postion to add to no passing when a yellow is out. When this lap started Carl was in front of the Clint and up to this part he is still in front. Some might say maybe Clint was ahead of Carl back at the last scoring loop? Then Carl would have said that I think and not said about the grass. Let say it was back at the last scoring loop. This will show it stinks of a system if going by the length in time before the next one you have that much of a lead after the last scoring loop to be put back is wrong.
To end up like this instead of top 5 you get a 11th place, yes by his own fault on how far back he endded up.
Makes you think they can not have this going on after this much time on getting it right when a yellow comes out. Which brings me to my point about protesting. If Carl did he would get nothing out of it because NASCAR can't figure were he might have finished. My way is if a team/driver think they are right NASCAR should let them go under protest so at least they have a spot to place them right if they win it. If they lose on a protest it is dead last.
No its not the GGW Racing team although with the tour drivers added to the reguler gang we could storm NASCAR. I am talking Rick Hendrick and why he wanted to get Dale Jr on his team. A few said DEI would be ok without Dale Jr. I was not one of them and now knowing Mark Martin is coming to Hendricks next year and Martin Truex Jr contract is up and Paul Mannard is not a front man for any team as of yet it got me thinking maybe this was the plan from the start.
Rick - Dale you know what you are getting coming here to this team. But lets think the future togather for a minute. Do you think DEI will keep going without help from another team?
Dale - Heckno, with the Bud sponsor leaving they got no money.
Rick - Then sooner or later Teresa will have to sale DEI, and You will have my backing to bye it and we run three cars under that team. We sign Martin Truex Jr and bring up Brad Keselowski and heck if sooner we grab Smoke because his contract will be up the following year , if not we got some young guns coming up and we give them seat time in your Nationwide team and we build a super team of 7 cars and give old cat in the hat a run for his money.lol
Dale - Will I get the better cars from you?
Rick - Now I can't promise you something like that now can I with Forensic2 around he would state it in his blog and all heck would break out. Lets just say you and Tony will have something you can win races with if you make the right calls and changes.
Dale - Lets do it.
Ok it might not have gone down like this, or maybe not at all? Its not like it can't be happen around the corner with how fast DEI is going down. IMO. It is later and it sounds Like Smoke is doing his own thing. So who knows who can fill that 3rd car for DEI & Jr Motorsports? Maybe Ryan Newman ? I think Reed Sorenson who Jr has hook up and bump draft well with many times.
Have a safe and happy 4th everyone and God bless you all and America! and lets add across the pond as well. Cheers.
Yes I know Falcon, Not another Dale Jr post. When someone hates a driver as much as to comment on ever post about Dale Jr's win this weekend and how NASCAR gave him the win it just started to get to me and want to say WHAT THE PUCK is up. You have made it perfectly clear time after time comment on other post and on some of your own when you are praising Kyle Shrubb Busch and putting down Dale Jr. Anyone new on here would think that Kyle is your favorite driver the way you go on about him and how he is doing better then Dale Jr and has more wins and how Mr Hendricks did the wrong thing dropping Kyle for Dale Jr.
First Kyle spoke out that he was not happy at Hendricks due to the fact that Jeff and Jimmie seem to be getting the better cars etc. Thinking that might change with him speaking up maybe. Three to four weeks later Dale Jr announces that he wants to leave DEI and is looking for a team. OOpps I guess I am not going to get better cars now and will be looking for a new team for real. It has turn out to be the best thing for both drivers and owners. So why keep on about this and that just to show how much you hate Dale Jr I ask you ?
Back to your favorite driver and I will walk on ice on this cause I know a few will blast me for if I don't. Dale Jr has had a better season so far then Jeff Gordon and now with the win he is tied with Jimmie in wins. Could this be why you need to show so much hate for Dale Jr cause he is doing better then your favorite driver and you got nothing good to say about Jeff. I am sure you will real soon. I know Jeff Gordon will not put up with what is going on and it will get turn around. Last year you were posting how your driver was going to over take his team mate Jimmie and show the young guy what he was made of during the chase and it didn't happen. Another championship stolen from Jeff Gordon who I have said many times that he has had 2 taken away because of the chase.
Now about this win. I will give you that NASCAR bent a rule that has been bent before for drivers trying to conserve fuel. Gregg Biffle last year didn't keep up to pace car speed and got the win. other drivers have passed the pace car before and nothing was done, others have bump the pace car and that is a no no. Nothing was done about it. So lets say they did bend the rule on that because they new why he was doing it.
#1. NASCAR had no way of knowing how much gas Dale had in the car or when he would run out.
#2. Dale Jr still had to race a green white and checker to win the race which you seem to be forgetting before he would be crown the winner. Again NASCAR had no hand in that.
#3. The Green is drop and he takes off, during this lap no one passes him for the lead that lap. Again NASCAR had no say in that.
#4. A car spins half way around the last lap and the yellow has to come out because the front runners would be coming to were that car crashed. His car sputtered for gas right then meaning he wouls have run out and been passed by Kasey and who knows how many coming to the checkers. Don't tell me NASCAR told that car to reck so they could throw the yellow and make sure he would win.
#5. He was running second to Carl Edwards who wins the race and his car didn't past inspection and the reason why makes his car have better down force, maybe if Dale Jr did the same thing that race he would have nip Carl at the line for the win.
#6. He was on his way to a win when a team mate stop on the track setting up his other team mate to catch up to Dale Jr. We all know how that turned out.
#7. Dale wins one of the shoot outs right off the bat this year and everyone said it don't count cause its not a points race. What did all the other drivers say I don't want to win this race because its non points race ? Dale Jr could be sitting with 4 wins with one being a nonpoints race and 3 point races if the rule book was followed to the fullest.
#8. The race length was exstended to a green,white checker and if that rule had not been brought in he won the race with out trying to save gas.
#9. You can cut him down and say how bad he is etc, etc. Funny thing is that he has done a better job this year so far then Jeff Gordon and all you can say is he will be in the hunt. I feel for you because this year I think will be a tight cut off on the 12 teams making it into the big show.
#10. You keep bringging up that he got away with it in another race. He was put down a lap and then they over turned it after seeing the video. So to be right by scoring he had to pass the pace car and come around just like the lucky dog winners do.
So NASCAR might have bent a rule and I wish it never happen becuase I knew what would be said. But you know what ! He has been screw out of a few wins this year so I say suck it and get over it. I would be more worried and blogging about what is going on with the set ups of Jeff Gordons cars then trying to compaire Kyle to Dale every week. At least I would be and have done before about Dale Jr and Tony E.
How you take this is up to you ? I am just sticking up for my driver and saying enought is enought. Cheersss
What I think happen is this and why. First I do not approve of the way Dale Jr came down pit road at a high rate of speed with a right front going flat and right rear missing and on rim alone. I know why he had to try and do it and yes I was happy he got in his pit box with out hurting anyone. He got slapped for that penalty with going to the longest line, as Iowagirl stated in a comment on this that any more added on to it means nothing. LOOP HOLE IN NASCAR RULE BOOK, What else is new.
Now up to this point he has done nothing but what he was going to be penalize for.
DW siad they better hurry here cause pace cars is coming out of turn 4, whiched they would have time to change tires only and they did only that and he raced out speeding and the lights at the end of pit road were still green according to DW and Larry Mac.
Still only spedding down pit road. The next few frames I beleave you all in the USA got to see before Fox took the commercial break. next one he is in middle of turn still down below white line.
Now Fox gone to over head frame and you can see how far away pace car is, sorry its not the clear as day, but if you look around 1:00 to 2:00 you can see pace car. When you look at where Dale Jr is lower left bottom, just out of sight is a sander or sweeper truck up againts the wall, we miss it cause Fox stays with the camera lock on the pace car.
Then they switch to Dale down the back streach up to speed.
Now you all got to see this frame but didn't think anything of it cause it happens all the time.
coming down pit lane for the second time and I am sure it is above pit road speed, and has to pass a sweeper.
Dale has given plenty of room to every safty truck he has gone by and even this one.
In his pit box for more repairs.
Now the next frame is like the one above showing pit crews still trying to sweep the speedy dry out of pit box, and NASCAR opens the pits with this much speedy dry down around cars coming to a stop front of crew members.
They showed some coming in fromabove this frame and then Dale took off again, and at that point nothing was said about another infraction and gone to commercial.
Here they stayed live feed and the incar camera was Dale Jr's car and they showed this from inside his car. First sweeper/sander truck he passes is up high and he is low.
next frame he has passed that truck and come up onto the track.
now moves up higher cause one is on the inside wall.
now he has to drop down to bottom because to more are up high againts the wall.
now the last one and then he heads for pit road again.
Now was this the video they were talking about ? I don't know for sure on that but I figure it is what you didn't see. No workers on foot were around any of this and if some where out on the track they might have been on the front strech picking up stuff, but Dale would not have pass them cause he came down pit road everytime. In Dwindy1 blogs someone mention passing the pace car/truck in this race and I don't know were they are thinking he passed the pace truck.
Only if they are thinking he did to get to pit road the first time while they were showing the replays? I found it hard that no one picked up on how in the h ll could JJ Yeley just come up and plow into Dale's car when he had room to go around.
Now on to more safty stuff. WHATS UP WITH THE WHEELS COMING OFF THE CARS OR LUGS LOOSENING UP NASCAR ? How long you going to wait till someone gets hurt.
This car was made to driver the wheels off of it but lets keep that as a figure of speech and just keep it for Kyle Busch cause this car suits him. Moves like this in the old model might not have endded up like this one did. Hanahan and Dwindy1 this M&M is for you.
Well thats it from me. Hope all had a safe weekend and for all those who are racing in the GGW Show Your Moon Tour final rules come out on Wensday. Takecare and God bless.
Its a long one so make sure you got your favorite drink, Also the GGW Racing video will be playing on the right and you can make it bigger screen for those who never seen it. The blue section stops a few times then it its ok.
Where do I start ? Some Dale Jr fans think the other Hendricks team mates didn't want to help Jr. I say who would want to help a driver that can change lanes as fast as Kyle Busch and keep the car on all fours. I didn't hear that NASCAR was hurting so bad for money that they had to layoff a few officials to watch over the track. What happen to the no bump drafting sections of the track and passing below the yellow line? Well lets start with the # 11, Denny who had to have bump drafted every car on the track and in every section. They also say #### this new car the bumpers line up. Tell that to Kyle Busch as his rear gets lifted up.
Denny was not alone in sharing a friendly bump draft, as Dale Jr used his and was so lucky that Tony held his car up with a right front tire going down. For any who think Tony was just trying not to put the blam on Dale, you will see how the tire was blistering in the middle on frame 4 when tire is taken off and lifted over wall..
Sorry the top one turn out too darker on the tire.
We know at this track you stick with rule # one. You don't use your brakes while in a line of cars or you will be the one going for a ride/spin. So Montoya is being pushed from behind the hole time and qucikly cuts down not to ram Paul and then realizes he can't pass below the line and trys to hold up still being pushed from behind. We know he couldn't keep it off Paul's rear side and sent him spinning.
Now why hasn't Paul's spotter said car low ? and in the next few frames he had time to give Montoya room IF HE WANTED TO, NOT THAT HE HAD TO. The frames say the rest and they slap Montoya and the other car with a warning. LMAO. Meaning you boys can #### paint all you want untill a car spins out ? Montoya is not a fault here, he was being push the hole time till they both were below the yellow line.
GGW Racing Great Save is 2 drivers this week. Paul Manard for saving his car and keeping it from coming back to the track and collecting others. The second driver is Jamie McMurry for his save when I can driver my car upside down and still pass you Kyle Busch pop out in front of him to show Jamie the scary look M&M on his rear bumper.
Time for a commercial break, I got to get a refill of coffee and empty the last one.
COMING SOON TO FOX SPORTS FORUM, THE FIRST GGW RACING OPEN TO ALL (( SHOW YOUR MOON-SHINE LATEMODEL 150 )) This tour will be hitting the local tracks all across America. All the GGW drivers will be on hand and its your chance to do battle with the hairy ones. Favorite numbers will be limited so send your messages ahead of time that you might be wanting a number saved. More on this in the next post.
Back to the action. I guess the next thing is the crash with around 10 laps to go when Tony and Dale tryed to share a one car lane togather. Just so you all know I am a Dale Jr fan for those new to this post and I beleave he was the reason it happen as with Tony. But no one notice one thing was them 2 could have drover that line side by side if it wasn't for Front Row Joe, He is the one who makes contact with Tony's rear quarter panel twice and the second one forces Tony to rub Dale.
David Regan is worried about the car above him and cuts up on him to block, when he got one of the best right behind him, then he cuts back down and shuts the door on Dale Jr and he pushes David. They are the middle lane !!!! When David gets clear of that car high he dosn't know to go high or follow Jimmie. Dale knows the answer to that. Tony being on the inside and seeing his best partner of all time going up the middle wants to tag along for the ride. Joe Nemechek is pushing Dale and and a few others who know Dale want in on the action.
Jimmie see whats going on and thinks I 'd like a part of that and he starts to pull up beside this fraight train a going, and Mikey knows who to have pushing him and he lifts up to the next lane. Now David thinks about going high and gets in no mans lane and Dale see's the open along with Tony.
The Next 2 frames Tony and Dale are fine side by side, watch the gap on Tony's rear when we go to rear camera from Dale's car and you will see Joe let up and head up and then back down touching Tony's quarter panel twice and on the second you see smoke start to fill the camera.
The Next 2 frames Joe makes contact with Tony and they are fine, Joe moves off and then again they touch and the rest is history.
Rear closer frame and Dale and Tony are fine, You can see a thin black line be tween them.
Now they are starting to turn the steering wheels left for turn and on the second contact Tony 's front end of car taps Dale,
Now the smoke fills the camera.
Now we can look at the pass for the win crossing over the yellow line. I know Hanahan, Noahspop and Dwindy1 and a few others will disagree with me on this one and thats ok. Just hear me out and you may blast away in a nice manner. lol
Now after the first 2 frames we see Kyle headding tords the yellow line. We can all agree on this. I ask you all, who is pushing/making Kyle head that way ? Its not Mikey. It can't be Jimmie. Jeff Gordon is pushing Kyle but not steering the wheel for Kyle.
Even if Jimmie is loose like it looks like is still no reason to go below the yellow line. Jeff is still behind Kyle. So still no one is making Kyle go low or hang near that line. Now as he starts to pass Jimmie is when he go's over the line. At that point he is touching the line already.
The rule is, You can not pass a car or make up a postions by going below the yellow line. Jimmie is the leader and at no time dos'e he need to give room away from the line while leading to give a car room so they don't go over it. I will say Jimmie closed down on him after this but was it cause Kyle hit his quarter panel make Jimmie's car come down. which would make it look like he was cutting Kyle off.
Now why didn't Jeff Gordon help Jimmie her by slidding up ? lol. The reason I feel it was wrong is Kyle put himslef in that spot and that close to the line in the first place, He had no help. Now on to the last section. This is what happens when a great car is trying to come from the rear and has to push someone to get there. Dale Jr bump drafting with Jamie McMurry and he gets loose from Dale pushing or Jamie had a tire going down. I am always fair and I did hear Dale Jr say Jamie had a tire going down and it did look like the same thing with Tony. If Jamie said after the race he didn't then Dale shoud have let up during the section.
Now for all, I only got to see the winners interview and Montoya's. So I do not have any news to tell me different. So let me know, but be nice cause I was. lol
Takeacare and Godbless and don't forget about the
COMING SOON TO FOX SPORTS FORUM, THE FIRST GGW RACING OPEN TO ALL (( SHOW YOUR MOON-SHINE LATEMODEL 150 )) This tour will be hitting the local tracks all across America. All the GGW drivers will be on hand and its your chance to do battle with the hairy ones. Favorite numbers will be limited so send your messages ahead of time that you might be wanting a number saved. More on this in the next post.
Lets try this again. Not that I am so far behind in showing part 2 of the cup. Well I know what everyone was talking about after the race with Boris and Marcos, but was that the big thing that happen ? What about the track owner who didn't have them water down the grass in the morning of the race or at least the night before so we didn't have a dust storm when a driver got off the track. Yes I am talking about the brown grass, even though the green grass kick up too.
Now they showed the gas pedal of the # 5 Patrick Carpentier and you could see a bar above it so the foot could slide inside it, so when they coasted threw the turns to save fuel they could make sure by lifting that foot up. Making sure that they didn't use any by mistake by just resting the foot on the pedal. IMO
Maybe a safty thing if the pedal sticks to the floor ? The reason I bring this up cause it might be why Boris was slow threw turns. We know he was having trouble at the start with something.wrong.
Now he makes a great save in front of Carl Edwards leaving Carl with something in his pants he was hoping to maybe do later. Now I go to closer frames and maybe if Rusty and Ray took notice of the smoke coming from the right side might have help them in saying something must be wrong cause Boris just dosn't run off the track and notice left tires were not lock up so the smoke must be coming from lock tires on the right or worse.
Now we see Boris not giving #9 Patrick Carpentier no room and it bit him in the bleep and ended up spining out. Patrick gives as much room as he can with his left sides on the curbbing. You can tell by the angle of his roof and see the far side of it. Funny nothing was said about this.
Now before I get to the Marcos deal, I thought I would show a few more frames of 2 drivers having the same thing happen to them but both kept the cars on the track. I am talking about Kyle Busch and Scott Wimmer. They both aproch the turns and half way Kyle's car starts to come around and he catches it with Wimmer patting him on the back with his front bumper to say that was nothing, see if you hold on to it while I push you the rest of the way.
The next 2 frames is when he gets loose on his own or with help, it is the same place when Borsi and Marcos do. I think he loose cause in the Boris and Marcos he is seen loose again in this same spot.
Now this when Scott thinks Kyle got off lightly and pushes him into the next turn.
Lets go to the pits and see how one team can get away with a tire rolling outside of the box and one team go the back. Alright I will leave that in part 2 and all the other recks. On to the big talk of the race. Boris said Marcos got in to his side and spun/hook him into turn one. They had not even touch then. Its when he gets loose like Kyle did with help or not is when it starts.
Might be touching his bumper now, but with this car not to do any harm unless Boris keeps slowing and Marcos wants to give it some gas.
The next is when he gets loose just like Kyle but maybe over corrects and heads the same way Marcos has already decided to go.
Now is when Boris flips his lid and rants about recking Marcos's car in a payback and then his crew chief. Damaging his car is one thing Boris, but can you ganrunteed no lives will be lost in this payback ?
That crew chief should have grab his finger and said if you ever touch me with that finger I will shove it were the sun don't shine on you boy. lol. I know they have talk this over and who did what and thats fine if it dosn't add up to my take on it. I have been wrong before. Now all the Boris fans that might read this. I like Boris alot and wished him better luck but when you ack like a 2 year old after something like this. Yeah he had alot ridding on this race and so did alot of other drivers that got dumped by better drivers and I will go over that in part 2.
Also show the pit stops that thngs don't add up when tires go loos for one team and not the other. I will give you a hint to tease you.
and how can this be wacing in the air and not a black flag waving.
Oh yeah, The little guys is doing better after this happen to him.
The best drivers and crews in NASCAR Sprint Cup racing and we have 10 cars on the lead lap at the end of the Texas race, last year it was 14 with the old model car. Lets go back now Martinsville we had 17 on lead lap at the finish line, last year was a COT race so we drop 4 more cars from 21 on the lead lap at a track we had 2 trys/practice. Second race late in the season only 20. Bristol was not any better with 15 cars on lead lap last year to 14 this year. This is to many cars a lap down in the greatest racing series NASCAR has to offer. IMO !
I am all for safty as most of you know that about me, I will say yes they have made the COT one of the safest car in racing with the safer walls on the out side, DOPEEE ! What about the inside walls ? NASCAR even got complament here on TV about that and that maybe F1 should be looking into safer walls and following the steps NASCAR has gone with the safer walls..
The Daytona 500 was a very exciting race for me, 15 + cars in one frame.
but the others have come up bad in the boring/get a nap in and wake to see what might be a exciting race for the win only to miss the real action cause FOX thinks we watching the screen only want to see the flag man waving the checker flags, was he doing it any different from any other race ? I didn't see anything but heard DW and Larry Mac having a heart attack as Clint hits the wall.
Now I have been LMAO at all the Jeff Gordon fans saying whats going on with you, You Jeff F en Gordon. Jeff Gordon is a driver just like any other 43 drivers out on race day with the perfect car they can be in the top 10 and 5 which sets them up for chance to win the race. Jeff Gordon has had the best crews to do this for most of his career to rack up so many wins. When a driver wins the wing nuts in NASCAR think it was the driver cause he is great like superman. They are the first to blame the crew and chief if superman trips over his own cape. When all super heros are asked about how great they are, they say it was the crew and chief who made the right calls to make it so easy for me to take flight and win. They are really saying if I didn't win this race with this awsome car its time for me to hang up the steering wheel.
Lets face some facts about last year and the COT's, Jimmie and Jeff's car were much better then most team. Then NASCAR found something funny going on under the front wheel wells and bag them for it. I said in a post was this the first time they tryed this or did NASCAR miss this before in the prevous COT races ? I never heard NASCAR say they might have missed it before and even if they did would they admitt it ? NO ! Its funny how the tracks last year they were so good at then are so far behind this year. Yes Jimmie and Chad seem to have turn the 48 team around. Jeff's team is still missing that set up.
Jeff Gordon is a dad now and it seems a wife he is really happy about compaired to his ex who wanted more money in the devorce by adding what Jeff might get in his career yet to race in. So maybe now a happy family has set him not race like he has before with out concerns to what might happen and winning is not at the top of his list. You really think Dupont is going to go say bye bye or if Jeff has a bad year Hendricks is going to send him down the road. I don't think so.
We also know about this car a slite minor change the car can go from a winner to junk, again bringing in the crew chief to be the one to determen the out come of many races to get his drivers car right by the end of the race, for him to win and get all the head lines.
Are you glad you came ? cheers for now - till the next rising sun.
On another post I mention how a TV show said are minds only take in 20 percent of what we see. It was a show about how advertising use and do tricks on us. So with that lets look at the 80 percent we missed out on at Bristol. I have been waiting for the race that the #8 and 88 rubbed,swapped paint and took one out of a race. Well it did finaly happen but it was not much to talk about. But oh what could have been.
Aric driving very well and up front and the clincker 88 on long runs would start to reach the front. They came very close the last turn and on this one they did touch.
Aric gave plenty of room and Dale still slid up and nudg him and Aric kept it going.
Now Dale shows class and lets up for Aric to get going before trying to pass him again.
Now lets just say maybe Aric spins and hit Martin taking them both out of the race. Oh would the $$it hit the fan or what ? They both end up running side by side for a lap and I think they touch again on the back streach on this next frame.
I think Dale was having fun with the rookie, But I think also Martin had enought of Dale playing around with him and on this next turn runs up close to his rear as to say ok stop doing what you use to do to me and lets get going.
I think the rookie Aric did a great job in this race and DEI should be very proud.
Now on to Tony and Kevin. We know what happen and I am only going to show a few cause it when they are touching that if Kevin dosn't over correct they both make it through the turn.
They have made contact and both are ok, Its when Kevin has to save his car from spining and turning the steering wheel to the right and making more contact with Tony that makes Tony reck. and saves himslef.
Closer view of it and it shows Kevin rear want to slid up tords the wall.
Now he corrects it to save it, and Tony gose for a ride.
I guess this evens them up now from Indy of last year ?
Also Carl and Kasey had a close call on this one too that was miss by you know who.
Nice driving by both.
Thats it and hope you all had a very safe and great Easter weekend. Takecare and Godbless..
Tire blowout or shock break. The reason I ask is on the frames you see the hood to a blow from under the hood before anything else ? First frame is just before it happens and the next will show the hood pop up.
We know later something falls out from under the car. I say what part can come out/break from a tire blow out. We are not talking flapping rubber from a tire ripping metal apart here at this time and looking at the part you can see what looks like groves. I say can the part have loosen and fell over onto the tire, and the tire shotting it back up under the hood?
Look at the tire wear it is not all the way around the edge of the tire, It looks ok for wear except on the inside of tire edge.
closer look at that spot.
Looks like tire wear. I have seen alot worst, but that tire blowing and knocking that part off with just the blast tells you how much was behind that blast.
Next up is Kevin Harvick blaming his pit crew for not winning the race on the last stop. But yet who gets all the glory Kevin when you win. Take second place and give thanks your crew got all the lugs tight for your safty. We wouldn't want them to think of your safty now would we. What I did was show Kevins crew at top and Matt Kenseth who was about 2 or 3 stalls behine Kevin.
Matts right front tire changer is ahead and the next frames will show, and watch what happens to the tire, it falls over on them. It also happens with Harvick and I think it slowed his tire changer down alittle.
Now tire falls flat on ground.
Now the front tire changer is done but can't move right away cause the tire is being pick up.
Now lets get top the other side boys.
Now Kenseth's car is droped down by the jack and look at the time.
Now Kevins car is droped.
Kevin to me came out only 2 spots down to the top 5 cars is not that bad of a deal. Regan and Ambross took only 2 tires?
Plus they did say how when your crew chief was asked how did this #33 team turn this program around that you gave them a open check book to build you winning race cars. I do like Kevin Harvick but no one can be left out, or that would show favoritisem on my part.
Now on to Dale Jr who is my top driver and I am here to say he didn't do anything wrong nore will he. NOT !! They did show he didn't make contact with the 24 car. but what was he doing behind him in the first place. I think it would have help him come out clean if he did give him boost from behind, it would have slow Jr's car down and might have missed getting cliped. Lets again thank God for safe race cars cause he took a few hits.
The 24 is loosing it now.
I think if Dale had touched it would have slowed him up.
Now we will see the difference between this car and the COT.
CRUNCH IN HOOD, and yes still keep a driver safe. We now have lift off NASA.
We have total lift off NASA and will be orbiting around te moon once.
We have touch down NASA.
Thats it for this one folks. Just to leave you with a few things in case you every need to know, it could be worth alot of money. The moon is bigger then a elephant.
and always know how much of a kick back the gun you are using for safty.
I have up-dated the Montoya and Clint deal with more frames.
First let me say sorry for being late, still got some BLEEP ches on computer and to get 55 frames up on line takes awhile. Not that I can show all 55 frames on one post. So I got to break it down to at least 2 post. So what was the big deals ? It seems from bloggers Montoya should be gone from NASCAR for spinning Clint Bowyer. Not to much was said about Kevin Harvick doing the same thing to Dave Blaney, or that Clint block Dave down on the yellow line with 50 laps still togo in the race and is lucky Blaney didn't dump him then.
Should I stop ? No. Dale Jr ran Kurt Busch into the grass and Gregg Biffle ramed/bumped Kasey Kahne making him loss control headed tords the infield. Jimmie Johnson gets loose in turn and before he can get it back is nudged by Sam Hornish that had nowhere to go but into Jimmie to finish him off. Tony Stewart gets loose from Dale Jr just being up close to him. All of a sudden the names above can't drive at Daytona ?
Now what was the biggest thing all the drivers and the announcers were telling us from the start to finish about this COT ? That they can get such a run on another car with the extra horse power and the bump draft or just a draft alone. They all were all some what rookies when it came to this car for this Daytona 500 with track conditions never being the same as it was for the other races and pratice. So they said.
The average speed when it was shown was around 184 MPH to 187. Now with a run or bump draft they could reach 196 MPH. Lets go with 187 MPH thats 9 MPH more with a run on a car. When you see it that way you can see why we had alot of cars bumping more.
Now lets look at some of the big ones. Montoya's run on Clint.
Now as we can see Clint gets a run on Jeff Burton with Montoya in the same path as him and Ryan getting pushed by Biffle.
