[mike honcho]

Im just going to leave this here

Sure hope she washed her hands afterwards.

 

[jws926]

Still not sold on the new track surface/configuration, I mean the racing wasnt bad, or maybe I just dont remember the racing on the old surface

 

[mike honcho]

I wonder what hidesert cowboy has seen with his "trained eye".He sure has been quiet????

 

[Nitro Dude]

As far as i'm concerned we are 2 races in and both of them were pretty darn good races.

I'll see your darn and raise you a damn.

Not bad but still seems the only way you can catch the leader is with a caution flag.

That's true but I was watching on Raceview and it was a helluva race back in the field at both tracks.

How do I KFC? I don't.

I could explain how to do a KFC, but you really dont want to know.

Harvick was strong when he was coming up through the field and when he was out front. I just don't think anyone had anything for him.

yeah I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Example A...

so?

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Some full seasons don't even reach 16 race winners. At least a couple of Chase spots will likely be determined by points.

Last year had 14 different race winners --- could get more this year. We'll find out.

I've seen a driver grab another drivers wife's ass but I think that's the first time I've seen a driver grab a drivers ass. Oh wait a minute, Mikey?

You spelled Tony wrong.

 

[Johali]

You spelled Tony wrong.

Two different sentences, the last one was a mikey joke.

I know it was a joke. I was making a joke too?

Okay.

I think maybe he only trained them for plate races.. still working on the upgrade for the short tracks

Nearly a perfect driver rating for Harvick today, 149.9; max is 150.

Impressive.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Wow.. guaranteed if he started a bit more toward the front it would have been perfect. Probably an average running position thing. Impressive.

 

[Revman]

That wasn't a Toyota with smoke billowing out from under it and dropping oil all over the apron.

Who built it?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

I'm sure some drivers will get in the chase with out a win, they will be a long shot to win it all.

Doubt it. If this was in place last yr, Jr would have gotten in on points instead of wins & would have won the championship still without winning a single race.

 

[hawg dawg]

# 4----1 win ...................# 41----1 blown motor

wonder how that goes this week ! ha!

 

[FLRacingFan]

Not as crappy as the fall. Gaining on it. Not worried.

I'm sure they'll show up next week. 1.5s were JGR's strong suit last year.

Sound like a cowboys fan.

"Next week boys... next week"

Early days to write them off.

 

[Revman]

1 Toyota in the top 10. It's a good day

Glad my TRD Toyotas are relevant to you. We have arrived.

It hasn't been the same to me. The first couple years of the COT and the old surface at Phoenix seemed to produce good racing. Yesterday wasn't horrible but I can't wait till the track wears more.

Mike Joy ‏@mikejoy500 8m
FYI: PHX Cup winner purse less than 43d place paid at Daytona.

 

[DUN24]

That's why qualifying for that race will make or break the Tommy Baldwins and Phil Parsons out there.

 

[Kyle18fan]

Congratulations Harvick fans

Harv drove a really good race Sunday

 

[Kyle18fan]

The "crapshoot" tracks are behind us now, anxious to see who "brings it" to Vegas

 

[Kyle18fan]

I'm sure they'll show up next week. 1.5s were JGR's strong suit last year.

I certainly havent given up on them, there were many other cars that were much worse Sunday

 

[SlicedBread22]

....and some that were much better

Liked because I know how hard that probably was for you to type. LOL.

Surprisingly low TV numbers for Phoenix. I thought there would be a positive Jr. effect.

After a record-low at Daytona, overnight ratings did not bounce back for the second race of the season.

Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup “The Profit on CNBC 500″ from Phoenix earned a 4.8 overnight rating on FOX, down 9% from a 5.3 last year, and down 4% from a 5.0 in 2011. The 4.8 is the lowest overnight for the second Sprint Cup race of the season since FOX began airing coverage in 2001.

The 4.8 is also the lowest overnight for the spring Phoenix race since it moved to its current date in 2010.

Though the Daytona 500 hit a record-low in television ratings, it has been suggested that Dale Earnhardt Jr.‘s victory would provide NASCAR some much-needed momentum going into the rest of the season. At least this past Sunday, that was not the case.

Despite the lower numbers, Sunday’s race was easily the top sporting event of the weekend on broadcast.

[StandOnIt]

Not surprised, Fox killing the Speed channel for constant stick n ball promos ON THE NEW FOX SPORTS 1... blah blah. Next up... refusal to pay Nascar's bill..citing lack of viewership.

Daytona 500 ratings were down as well, but you can throw those out because of the rain.

This is has to be troubling for Nascar, even with Jr winning the previous week, the ratings were down nearly 10%. That's not good at all.......
