Glenn Dunnaway

 

[Yelk]

You are correct Muggle...WTG. Dunnaway did take the checkered flag, but was dq'ed, giving the win to Roper.

 

[muggle not]

Somone else ask a question. I don't have a good one at this time.

This driver only ran 6 Cup races but Gary Nelson says he taught him more about racing and building cars then anyone else .

Ivan Baldwin

Very good Yelk

Ivan the Terrible was quite a guy , he was always known for having fast cars that were beautifully prepared . He was also known for punching out a track official and getting suspended for a year .

[Yelk]

This driver was known for getting around the pit/garage/infield area using roller skates.

 

[nascarwoman]

Morgan Shepard

 

[Yelk]

WTG NW, Morgan is correct. Your turn.

 

[nascarwoman]

One of this drivers hobbies is collecting first edition books. Who is he????

 

[MultiMatic]

Jeff Burton

 

[nascarwoman]

No, not the driver I'm thinking about. Jeff may collect books, but I'm not aware of that.

 

[MultiMatic]

How about a hint before I have to start goofing on people that are posting about a race that has nothing to do with NASCAR 5000 miles away in the desert .

 

[nascarwoman]

OK, here's a hint.......he also plays the guitar.

 

[MultiMatic]

I dont think its Marty Robbins so I will go with Kyle Petty .

 

[nascarwoman]

Kyle Petty it is...your turn multi!

 

[MultiMatic]

This drivers wife was arrested for making terroistic threats and extadited.

 

[mshay]

BROOKE GORDON

 

[MultiMatic]

No I dont believe Brooke was ever arrested as being a gold digger is not an indictable offence.

 

[MultiMatic]

Anyone that would like to do the next one feel free to jump right in

 

[SlowNeasy]

hehe, i remember that. apparently diane bodine thought the hooters lady was paying too much attention to her husband <g>

 

[muggle not]

Yeah, I remember that episode also.

Here is a question that no doubt has been asked before but is appropriate at this time.

Who was the first driver to "qualify" for a race at a speed of over 200 mph.

 

[kat2220]

Bill Elliot?

 

[muggle not]

Bill Elliot?

Sorry, nope.

 

[buckaroo]

That was Buddy Baker.

 

[muggle not]

Sorry, nope. Remember, the question is who was the first driver to hit 200 mph in qualifying.

 

[buckaroo]

Okay, then it was Benny Parsons.

 

[mshay]

THE LEGEND B.P.

 

[muggle not]

Okay, then it was Benny Parsons.

Correct. None other than Benny who qualified at 200.176 mph in 1982 at Talladega and became the first Cup driver to reach 200 mph in qualifying

(I read this in today's Greensboro paper, Benny was on the front page and deservedly so)

 

[buckaroo]

mshay, go ahead.

 

[mshay]

THIS IS PROBALLY KIND OF EASY BUT I CANT THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE AT THE MOMENT

OF ALL THE DRIVERS IN THE CHASE FOR 06 NAME THE STATES THEY ARE FROM.
