Manufacturer loyalty in NASCAR is similar to AFL or NFL loyalty in football or American League or National League in baseball; it used to mean a lot to people and they were fiercely loyal to their favourite. Now it doesn't mean much to anyone because drivers move around and teams change...

He's also had finishes of 4th, 3rd and 2nd twice. That's pretty damn good if you ask me.

I think once Tony is in a better place mentally, and the Ward family has found it in them to forgive him, seeing Tony back on the track will bring some small amount of closure to all involved. Carrying that kind of pain and grief can take people to very dark places. Finding room in our hearts...

Nobody is saying Ford is in the crapper, just the Roush bunch. If you really think they're better off without Carl that's fair enough, but he's done more than Stenhouse and Bayne ever have, and likely ever will. Roush can be benchmarked against the Penske guys to show how poorly they've...

That was rather epic wasn't it, the crowd sure loved it too. They gave Carl a real good ovation after he spun Kyle. Good to hear him and Matt put their differences aside, they should be fine. I agree with you, in that it will be more interesting to see the relationship between Carl and Kyle and...

Yep, time sure does fly. I actually remember him putting it in the grass at Homestead like 20 or 30 laps in. I remember thinking "well Denny, you blew it". I think that was the same year he tore up his knee playing ball, and then went on a crazy win streak through the summer. Personally I...

Agree with everything here.

Kyle Busch has had 25 wins for JGR in less than 7 years and he's only 29. Also I believe you meant 2010, Carl Edwards should have won the 2011 championship.

Yeah I agree, I don't think they are dealing with systemic issues like I believe Roush is dealing with right now. They are down on power, and once they get those engines tuned up a little, they should be in real good shape going forward.

If anything I'd say this move makes Denny more expendable. Not that he's going anywhere, but I just have a gut feeling he's on thin ice over there. He's been doing a lot of complaining lately and not much else. I think Carl can win a championship with JGR though, I'm just not convinced they...

LOL, about 33% more than Roush has.

Sadler was a scrub in the 19 too, if I recall correctly.

So we can now officially confirm it will have at least one wheel and be some sort of orange colour.

I've said this before in regards to Newman, I have no problem with how hard he runs. I get it, he doesn't just pull over for anyone no matter the junction in the race. Furthermore, I had no problem with what happened at Michigan, it was good hard racing. However I find it quite rich that he...

Just a guess, but most teams are looking for weight reduction in everything they build. I'm guessing they use a shifter that has the very minimum of metal needed for the part. Its not a robust oem shifter you might use in your everyday car, it's probably extremely light weight and possibly even...

Unprecedented level of ego's under one roof, Edwards, Hamlin and Busch push JGR into new stratosphere of self absorption.

A couple years back at Texas, Newman was like 2 laps down and JJ was going for the win but couldn't get by him, ever since then JJ has had it out for him IMO. Newman's a punk anyways, JJ was spot on with his comments; just usual "Ryan Newman stuff". He blocks everybody no matter how many laps...

Thanks for the insight Rev, I always appreciate hearing your point of view. My question is this, has it gotten to the point where JGR has lost faith in TRD? Obviously the drivers have had their say, but are the team officials still happy with where they're going with TRD? I mean even when they...

Sounds like TRD got caught with their pants down. They have the oldest design with an obvious lack of horsepower at this point, but it doesn't make sense to make a new design yet due to incoming changes. Perhaps that lack of foresight is contributing to their current lack of success? Personally...

Right I got the part about Bayne going full time with Roush, but they could have just as easily hired another driver and remained in an alliance with Roush, no? There's more to it than just they needed a new driver and Penske offered them a deal, it represents a shift in the Ford heirarchy. Wood...
