I still wear my #8 Dale Jr. lounge pants.Always have people telling me "He has a new sponsor now" and I say Thanks genius but for the price you pay for that stuff I'm going to wear it till it falls apart.

What will fall apart first, honcho's pants or Jr? ;)
 
I think DeeDub just went against the company line on Danica. Nice.

Allmendinger is so much better than Danica, but with the difference in what theyre driving Im not surprised theyre in the same category.

Some guys like Ambrose, Burton, Montoya, and others were at 100-1. I thought he'd be around there.

I think people are just thinkin about the team more than the driver.. all those other guys you named have Roush and Hendrick Motors. AJ doesn't even have a sponsor. He's fast though. That team is 8th in owners points right now. Ill bet if he finishes well this weekend you'll see him with those others next time.

Finch's team I would think have the same cars as what Danica is getting?

I was just thinking when I said that where does Finch get his engines? But no I would think Danica's car is still better because the organization has more money to put into other things like engineers and other things that Finch cant afford.
 
Nationwide coming up, Looked at three different pages for driver entries, and they all were different. Two said Logano and Harvick were running along with Kyle Bush and Brad.:idunno:

I think Phoenix Racing gets Hendrick engines just like the guys at Stewart-Haas.

Keselowski is in the #22 and Kyle Busch is in the #54. Those are really the only two big Cup drivers running on Saturday this week. Dakoda Armstrong is in the #33 that Harvick races sometimes.
 
Phoenix racing is a one car team, sponsorless . The Gen6 car is helping the underfunded teams. You can be more competitive. It is more like a kit car with pre made body pieces. Get ya a good hot shoe and you have a chance.
 
SlicedBread22 said:
I think so too, but like I said Stewart-Haas has more resources. Finch needs a sponsor for the 51 and he'll be able to do a lot more. I could see it being hard to find a sponsor for a part time driver though.

That's true. It must be hard finding sponsorships when you have four guys splitting time in one ride. Provided they keep running well they should find some that want to be on the car for a significant number of races though.

Watch for the drivers that run well to come back with a sponsor later in the year.

Wearing Jr. lounge pants in public disqualifies you from sarcastically calling someone else genius, you know :).

JK, we should talk. I found a #8 Budweiser flag in my racing stuff recently, never been flown. I was thinking about taking it to the track when the circus comes to town and trying to get it signed, which puts me in the same group as the guy I was making fun of. I will have my National Guard hat on if I do, though.

I seen Kyles Monster Energy Drink Hauler and Brads Discount Tire hauler sitting in the parking lot at the California Speedway yesterday. But I didn't notice if Logano or Harvick's Nationwide haulers were there or not.

You know your trucks.;) It's a freightshaker XL with a 53 foot featherlite trailer.
 
I have an XL. :)

Logano should be in a Penske car for the NW race. Apparently the sponsor wants Kez.

Logano will be in a few races this year, hasn't been revealed which ones yet. I saw a tweet once from Joey to someone saying the first one was Dega. Kez has first dibs after all. Joey will also drive in a few truck races for BK(Brad K not Burger King) Racing.

No thanks:lol2:


On another note: Carl won the Subway race in the Subway car. Jimmie didn't win the Kobalt Race in the Kobalt car....... now Joey's in the AAA Car at the Auto Club race... according to my calculations Joey should win this race. :whoopee:



Sadler fastest in NW practice over Kyle by a tenth and a half.

I think he has the speed and motivation to get it done this week. How sweet would it be if he bumps (not dump) Denny for the win?
