Random NASCAR Stuff to talk about.....

I'm just wondering how they get along as the year goes on. Carl has always intentionally wrecked for blood and gotten a free pass. Drivers get pissed and wreck each other, but very few do it with the pure violence Carl displays time and again.

both are moody,one with a new car,one with a new cc,WHO CARES? HA
 
LOL. If people disliked every driver (including their own) who ever bumped another driver....did Johnny Benson ever bump another driver:confused:

It's like this, my driver is not perfect and has done some less than sportsmanlike things on the track and so has yours and yours and yours and yours and you get the idea.

Carl and 'bumping' just don't go together, but we know you already knew that.

..or...."Bumping? Who's talking about BUMPING?"
 
Kyle Petty Unplugged
Speed TV analyst Kyle Petty tackles some big questions entering the 2013 NASCAR season:

Q: How will you tell if the new car is a success?
KP: “I think we’re halfway there because it actually looks like a car. That was a huge step forward for NASCAR fans, but what will define success is when people sit down after 10 or 15 races, evaluate the on-track product and declare it better than last year. Then the car has been a success. If they say the racing is the same as last year, then all we’ve done is slap another coat of paint on an old house, leaving it as the same old house. All we have as a sport is what we put on the track."

Q: What would be a good season for Danica?
KP: “I think a top-25 finish in the points would be good for Danica. If she runs races like she did at Bristol and at Darlington in the Cup car last year, then she does two things – she gains incredible experience, but more importantly, she gains the respect of the competitors, and that needs to come first. I give her huge props for those two races because they’re two of the toughest, if not the toughest, on the circuit. Are we going to see her going door-to-door with Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart? Only when they lap her. But that’s the way it is with any other new driver. You have to be in that position at some time, although there are exceptions to that rule in cases like Jeff Gordon and Kyle Busch. But she doesn’t come into the sport in as good a position as Joey Logano did when he made the move from Nationwide to Cup."

Q: Is Brad Keselowski a good face for the sport and what kind of role model will he be?
KP: “Yes, he is a good face for the sport at this point because of where he came from. Brad’s story is very well-known by now. He worked for his dad and his dad and uncle busted into Cup racing back in the early ‘70s. Brad was running Truck races and got a call from Dale Jr. to go race for him. That’s the dream of every kid racing a local short track throughout the United States, and we watched Brad rise through the ranks in a very short period of time. From that perspective, he’s that blue-collar, working man who all of a sudden accomplished his dreams through hard work and dedication and passion. That’s a great role model, but at the same time, he’s so engaged with the media and social media that he’s a good spokesperson for the sport. He doesn’t run and hide from the media. He’s going to tell you what he thinks whether you like it or not."

from here.

Just saw this.....

ISC tracks will allow fans to use PayPal's Bill Me Later service - pay over next 6 months - if you buy at least $99 worth of tix.
 
In today’s USA TODAY sports section, there’s a NASCAR season schedule you can cut out. Has all Cup races w/TV stations and start times listed.
 
A.J. Allmendinger will test an IndyCar for Penske and if all goes well he'll be in the car at Barber Motorsports Park and Long Beach and we may see him in the 500. Hope all goes well for A.J. He was really good in Champ and deserves another chance to show what he can do. Story can be found on FoxSports.com.

I have no doubt that the new livery will be cool. But it will be strange not seeing that Dupont oval on Jeff's car and uniform. For NASCAR fans, Jeff and DuPont are inextricably linked.

I have a feeling that DuPont is circling the wagons financially because along with Monsanto, they are gonna be beset with huge legal defense costs when class-action lawsuits are brought against them in the very near future.

I think the only reason they changed the paint is to hide him from Bowyer. By the time that dumb hick figures out Jeff is in a new car, the season will be over. ;)

Wasn't Dupont bought by another company thats changing the name?

From what I've heard, Dupont sold their paint division, and the company that bought it will sponsor him now. But as far as I know, Dupont is still around. I just wasn't aware that lawsuits might be brought against them.

Dupont's diversification keeps them plenty healthy. Auto finishes just aren't part of their growth strategy.
