Random NASCAR Stuff to talk about.....

Tony's car for Cali. Wonder what will go wrong this week?
 
hmm Tony's got a Peterbilt Truck chain for a sponsor. Hope he runs faster than that. Probably got a good deal on his rolling stock. He owns a trucking company.

It's not as if Menards doesn't spend to put its name on other forms of racing. Heck, they're the title sponsor for the ARCA series.

I used to be in the 'Daddy's money' crowd, but I started changing my mind a couple of years ago. At one time I wouldn't consider him as a fantasy pick. He's finishing more consistently under Childress than with his previous teams, although I don't know if that's due more to the team or his having gained more experience. Either way, I think he's now a legit pick under the right circumstances; 'horses for courses', dontchakno?

You could ride a horse like that for 9 weeks in the pool . Last year I got on a good run with Biffle.It takes nerve to stick with him , but jumping back and forth will kill you . I got burned a lot with Jimmie Johnson , just picked the races where he blew up or got in an accident.
 
Stewart-Haas still struggling for sponsors? I thought they were having trouble finding some for Newman too.
 
Stewart has always been a favorite driver. I still can't believe he got rid of Grubb, he had his reasons I'm sure, and he has a lot on his plate besides driving..might be too much, Addington might be in a different situation than Grubb was, I think that was B.D. (before Danica) and a three car team when Grubb was chief

According to published reports, Darian didn't want to continue as a Crew Cheif. He wanted to be able to spend more time with his wife and his newly-born kid.

Somebody lied...

Good for them, 2nd most popular driver? in the nascar mix. I try to ignore it, because racing is about winning, not popularity star power. I hope this is temporary, and will get back to winning, but it is what it is for now. Quite a few champions from other forms of racing, came to nascar and they aren't around anymore, and they had won more than one race in their lifetime
 
I think the biggest issue for Stewart is consistency. He usually tends to either have a really good day or a really awful one. Like, either top 10 or multiple laps down. They dont seem to be able to adjust the car right during the races enough. If he could just turn his awful days into salvagible days I think that he would be able to hit his stride more and get some momentum

For sure. That's Addington for you. It was the same with Kurt and Kyle, which is why I was shocked when Tony chose him.

Put that in the context that they were finishing poorly and Tony didn't think that they were deserving of even making the chase . Tony had to make a move.
 
Yeah theres just something not fully clicking right there at stewart-haas. or maybe StewartFan said, that hes not fully focused every race.

Tony won the championship and fired Darian the same time. 2011.:idunno:

Grubb was gone before the Chase started. It had been announced that he would not be returning to SHR prior to the end of the season.

That kinda makes the whole scenario even more weird...

Maybe it's as simple as they just didn't like each other?

At the time the decision was made , prior to the chase, they were probably butting heads over their performance . Likely they didn't see eye to eye on what needed to change .By the end of the season , I think Tony figured out who was wrong. And Grubb was likely thinking he would rather be doing something else than listen to Tony not appreciate him.
 
Addington knows some Gibbs and Penske secrets, and I'm sure some are still useful. Tony should be flying around the track.

It looks like there is going to be a Nhra vs Nascar charity softball game this year. http://www.milb.com/content/page.jsp?ymd=20130315&content_id=42785188&sid=t487&vkey=tickets

NHRA will win. The NASCAR drivers can only hit to the left, and without spotters they'll just crash into the infielders.

The NASCAR guys will win because they have an advantage rounding the bases, the NHRA guys will hit it and head straight for the pitchers mound.
