Did anyone else catch what Letarte said about the #88's chase hopes just before the NH race? Well, be prepared for the #18 and #20 to drive another nail into the HMS coffin at Kansas this weekend

He said that after Chicago, the #88's chase hopes were done. Keep in mind that HE said it, not me

He was right but I am not sure what that has to do with JGR. The engine expired.

Ask Knaus, he's the one running his mouth about them in that interview you posted.

My daughter heard it and wasnt real happy with Letarte. Doesnt seem like a good way to rally the team.

The driver of the 88 should be unhappy also IMO

I admit that I'm confused at this point. What do the comments made by Dale Jr's. crew chief have to do with the comments Knaus made about the JGR organization? I'm not making the connection. Dumb it down for me.

Jimmie Johnson spins in practice. Unfortunately only takes out a cone.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Debris caution in practice. Personally I think they threw the caution because the field was getting to spread out.

Zone tread in action. from @keselowski

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Looks like Harvick has a good ride this weekend!

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Qualifying order.

 

[3wideinturn1]

Wow the 51 is showing some speed

 

[dpkimmel2001]

@jim_utter
48 lost power on track

 

[Kyle18fan]

Wow !! The 18 looking better than I expected. Fingers crossed for qualifying and EVERYTHING crossed for race

There's no underlaying connection

Kyle Busch is fair game for HMS fodder so I thought I'd balance the scales a bit.

Qualifying order.

Not many Chase drivers going out late.

 

[Joniki]

Debris caution in practice. Personally I think they threw the caution because the field was getting to spread out.

That comment brought another belly laugh out.

 

[Kyle18fan]

Looks like Harvick has a good ride this weekend!

Yes he does but I am sure not used to seeing that. Anxious for qualifying to see how all this works out

 

[dpkimmel2001]

James Hylton's final start this weekend in ARCA.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Heads up! ARCA race tonight on FOX Sports 1 @ 8:30 for anyone that gets it and is interested.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

CUP Qualifying @ 5:10 ESPN2

 

[Reck]

Weee Gordon has alot of work to do.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Kevin Harvick on the pole for the first time since the 2006 New Hampshire Chase race.

 

[Reck]

Considering Gordon went out second, 14 starting spot is not that all bad.

He's more focus on race runs.

 

[Kyle18fan]

Oh my .................................. Gonna be a long weekend for the 18

 

[Reck]

Was that how you felt when Gordon smacked it on the first race here too?

Kevin Harvick on the pole for the first time since the 2006 New Hampshire Chase race.

Wow...I hadn't realized that it had been that long

 

[BobbyFord]

James Hylton's final start this weekend in ARCA.

That would be awesome if it had a 429 in it!! Great vintage paint scheme.
A 429 has the same bore as a 460 Ford, but has a shorter stroke.
I have a standard bore '68 429 on the floor in my garage. I plan on a Scat stroker kit and a fresh bore to bring it out to 521" and stick it in my '63 Unibody

Bold Prediction: Ricky Stenhouse dominates and wins this race.
