    2014 Silly Season Thread

    Biffle to RPM is about the most logical thing out there. He fits there better than he does with MWR and Ambrose would slide nicely into MWR. Newman and McMurray can attract sponsors and buy into a small team ala Tony Stewart and Haas/CNC(do you not remember that organization before Stewart...

    2014 Silly Season Thread

    I dont think much of it is that far fetched at all. Might not happen but none of it is far fetched, even the Chase Elliott thing.

    2014 Silly Season Thread

    Alright, here are my final Silly Season predictions(there are some long term ones here as well)... 1. Biffle and 3M go to RPM and take over the #9 2. Carl Edwards and Fastenal go to the #12 Penske car 3. Marcos Ambrose takes Stanely Black and Decker with him to a third MWR team 4. Chip Ganassi...

    Looking Back: Why I think Red Bull Racing failed in NASCAR

    See along with that, I know that JGR gets engines from TRD but still does their own adjustments on them.

    2014 Pocono - Pocono 400 - Pre Race Thread

    I was just thinking about this. 2005 Vickers dominated this race, led like 120 of 200 laps, and him and Carl Edwards were in a dogfight all by themselves for the win when a late caution came out, and they were fighting for the win again after the restart and another caution ended it. I think my...

    See any good movies lately?

    I love the Hunger Games movies. I only watched them because of Jennifer Lawrence but ended up really enjoying them.

    Looking Back: Why I think Red Bull Racing failed in NASCAR

    Do NASCAR teams produce their own chassis? IIRC, the Toyota teams all get theirs from Triad.

    Looking Back: Why I think Red Bull Racing failed in NASCAR

    I agree. And if you think about it, they probably would have had their fair share of suitors because the cost to sponsor them would have been less, as they still would have wanted to feature Red Bull prominently on the car. I look at brands like the Army or Air Force, Old Spice, GameStop, Sport...

    What keeps you from going to more or any NASCAR races?

    For me it is proximity. I live in southern Illinois and the closest track is the Brickyard, which is almost exactly 3 hours away(ironically, I hate to drive).

    Looking Back: Why I think Red Bull Racing failed in NASCAR

    Ironically I hate Red Bull the drink and even did when they were in Cup. Too many Jagerbombs in my early 20s...cant even stand the smell of the stuff now.

    Looking Back: Why I think Red Bull Racing failed in NASCAR

    That really hasn't hurt them anywhere else. And Mountain Dew and AMP Energy are prominently on Dale Jr.'s car every weekend, Clint Bowyer runs 5-Hour Energy every week, and Monster is a staple of Joe Gibbs Nationwide teams(and NOS Energy was before Monster, they are now with Ricky Stenhouse, Jr.).

    Looking Back: Why I think Red Bull Racing failed in NASCAR

    Now I must preface this by saying, just by proxy, Red Bull was my favorite team because my favorite driver is Brian Vickers. That said, like anyone who is a fan of a driver, they become attached to the team AND the manufacturer they drive for. Learning those years ago that Red Bull would be...

    2014 Sunoco Rookie of the Year Standings

    I feel sorry for Parker Kligerman. That kid has a crapton of talent, but he has never really been given a chance to show it with a competitive team.

    Bayne can be a Greg Biffle type in time IMO. Stenhouse a Martin Truex, Jr. type. And Chris Buescher has talent. They aren't mega prospects like a Blaney, Elliott, or Larson, no, but they do have some upside. RFR can be solid again, might not be tomorrow, but they can be. And it is worth nothing...

    I actually think Ambrose to MWR makes more sense than Biffle IMO. So I am calling Ambrose+Stanley/DeWalt to MWR, Biffle/3M to RPM.
