Random NASCAR Stuff to talk about.....

Sometimes I'm seeing pics or posts by NASCAR drivers/crew or other people that are part of the sport that I find interesting and thought maybe someone else out there may too. I created a thread just to throw out random NASCAR related stuff for your viewing or reading or even listening to pleasure.....

 

JJ Yeley will be driving this car at least in the Daytona 500 but they wanna run the entire schedule.

 

Cool looking ride.

 

From ESPN's Marty Smith.....

Sad that buy-a-ride carries so much power these days. Brad K made it by skin of his teeth. There'd be no Big E/Harv/JJ with current trend.

 

Probably start and park the rest of the schedule......

Did somebody screw up on the second car? Not enough room to put the 5 in front of the 1?Or is it a Nationwide car?

 

I'm guessing Nationwide.

 

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU M'FERS DO TO MY CAR?"

They are just making sure Kurt gets in the right one.

 

NASCAR has conceded the inevitable. Here's the redesigned Harley J. Earl trophy for the 2012 Daytona 500.

 

LOL!
Perhaps they will add steam to the back car, just to keep Mike happy.

 

Judging by the sidewall, I would say they are Goodyear Wrangler speedway set-up tires.

 

Still my favorite D500 command.....

 

Heading to Media Day.....

 

Let's hope Robby runs more than 3 laps if he makes the 500.

 

Ryan Newman's contract is up at the end of the season. Says he'd like to stay at Stewart-Haas but also wished an extension was done already.

 

Who is Tony going to get that is better than RYAN? Or wait, it's about money, sorry. Maybe Ryan won't have a job.

 

They come in all sizes.

 

Danica Patrick, Driver of the #10 Chevy, channels her inner Harry Caray during Daytona Media Day on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

 

Kurt Busch will be free next year. But didn't Newman outrun Tony for much of the year?

 

yeah buddy he did. And I can't believe that there is talk of Ryan not being signed yet. Pish posh

 

I figured it had to be Buddy because of the height but I couldn't recogize him.Mark (the Kid) really looked like a kid.

 

Failure just waiting to happen.

 

Home of the Flopper!

 

Check this out..... Yesterday I get an email from Bristol Motor Speedway Charity's 'Track Laps for Kids'. They are allowing fans to take their own vehicles out on the track $25 for 5 laps. Of course, this is only at a pace speed. Kinda a cool way to raise money that has never been done to date @ BMS. We reserved a spot to do this Thursday night before race weekend. Anyhow, my son's 16th birthday was this past fall and he is to be taking his drivers test before we head on down to Bristol next month. I've already told him that we plan on having him drive us most everywhere while we're down there. I think that he's going to be shocked when we drive by the track, turn in and wait for our turn to take some laps around the track.

 

Taking your Vette with you? The grand sport of course? Or maybe the ZR1?

 

Can't tow the 5er with any of those. Unfortunately, it with have to be my 2008 GMD 2500HD Diesel. It will be memorable all the same.

 

That's great dpk. Be sure to post a picture of you waiting your turn while giving the official a proper Kyle Busch salute.

 

I'll try to remember.

 

I see your point. Perhaps you can pull off a very mature 'what not to do' lesson for the kids. How gullible is the wife?

 

Yeah, I'm sure that'll work.

 

She is taller than her cutout.

 

Kinda art gallery stuff ...not really racing related (the night shot)

 

Lake Loyd is about as centrally located to the Daytona Speedway as you can get.

 

Anyone know who this young driver is?

 

The 9 the Coors and the Melling kinda give it away...

 

Maybe not for everyone but great pic none the less.

 

Cars back on track tomorrow at noon!
