Martinsville Pre-race Race Thread

Anything to get that boy up the ranks. I hope he does well but he's being rushed up too fast now (he's not been great in K&N and he's been mediocre, at best, in ARCA) - way too much hype.

They're rushing him plus he has the incompetent Lance McGrew setting up his cars.
 
I wonder if that #22 & #11 hauler rubbed fenders on the way in to those tight spaces? :cool:

When you consider the equipment he's in, it's not that impressive. Sorry. He's good but he's not as great as he's been hyped to be. He should be winning races and a lot of them.

Kyle Busch and Joey Logano were winning countless races in similar, or slightly inferior, equipment.

You miss the point. I don't know what either of them did good or bad. He is Bill Elliott's son and he can drive a race car, finished 4th in the points last year. There will be plenty of camera shots of father Bill watching son race. Not trying to be cynical, but that is the way it is in big time racing. You got drivers that raced their way in and had a whole bunch of good breaks to get there, and some or born into it.
 
NASCAR says these smaller units are used for the smaller tracks. They will break out the big ones at the larger tracks.

And we get to wait until 11pm tomorrow to watch final practice.

When will NASCAR get its own damn channels?
 
@TheOrangeCone
Txt from people who thought Air Titan would dry the track at Martinsville quickly: "this is the longest 15 minutes ever."
 
Whoever is in control on SPEED today must be drunk. Going to and coming back from commercial in the middle of interviews.

now just one minute there Baba-Looey, are you saying that Mark looks like he's 90+ years old ?

at the rate he's going I'm thinkin' that Denny might be looking like he's 50+ before he hits the 40 mark . . .

That was probably just a typo. ;) Too late to change it now. I meant to say that is what Denny will look like when he too is 60 year old. Better? :p :D
