In other news, Cole Whitt & his car are parked on campus. Shouldnt he be in Phoenix??
You know how it is --- someone kicks over the anthill and they all run around.never heard of the guy.
Suddenly, everyone who knows how to drive a car is an "expert" on racing.
I imagine it's a show car. And N'wide practice isn't until tomorrow. Plenty of time for him to get there.

Weird thing was, it was just the car. Nobody around to talk about it. I even popped the window net down and hopped inside, got a picture and got back out.

I guess Jeff is going thru a second divorce, and this one is uglier than the first.

Kyle Busch just won the 100th NNS race for Joe Gibbs Racing. Here's the first with Bobby Labonte.

Man, those guys back in the day were tough SOB's!
Look at how OPEN that car is. I can't even imagine doing 500 miles at high speed with that little protection.

How true, but, a lot of good drivers died horrible deaths in those style race cars. Ned quit after Fireball Roberts death. I heard Ned on an interview tell the story of seeing Fireball climb out of the car on fire, gave me chills.
PS: for those that do not know it, Roberts got the nickname Fireball, not from racing, but from pitching baseball, the nickname just carried over into racing.

Road courses and short tracks.
That's not open. The convertible division was OPEN.
Whenever things at work aren't going well, I remind myself no one is shooting at me; I'm going to sleep tonight in a bed under a roof with my wife and dog, and not alone in a cot, bag, or hole in the dirt; and the hot meal of my choice won't have come out of a pouch.
Kinda puts things in perspective.

Kyle Buach after NW race..
“Pretty pathetic NASCAR throws these Kyle Busch cautions,’’ Busch said after the race. “It’s old and aggravating for us in this Nationwide Series, but, hey, it’s their prerogative, it’s their series and they get to do what they want to. I’ve just got to settle for second and miss our opportunity on an owner’s championship this year.’’
The guy has won a dozen races because of that kind of caution. One goes the other way, and he cries conspiracy. Same old, same old.

i think because of his actions past and present, that a lot of people went Ha Ha when Brad passed him, but i still think the caution right before the white flag was BS.Kyle Buach after NW race..

It was. It wasn't the first time either. It used to be REAL bad.

I can stare at this all day. So mesmerizing lol
dpk requested it be unpinned. I'll put it back after Homestead and the Chase are over.
It is rather hypnotizing, isn't it.

It's getting too populated up there in the sticky section at the moment. And, yes, I'd like to see it get back up there after Homestead but the Great Chase Debate of 2014 will probably go on for some time to come.

Ehh, it's to be expected IMO. It's time for the dreaded winner take all race, so of course the discussion is gonna be a lot more intense.
As for myself, I think my new slogan is gonna be "watch the race, eff the debate."

Wow... @dpkimmel2001 ... look what the chase has done... Not even enough room in the stickys for this thread anymore... it's a sad day for the sport lol

No, no. TRL didn't take it out. I asked her to remove it because of the complaints that started coming in about the number of threads up there. I'd love to see it get back to the way it used to be with only the TV Links, NASCAR Trivia and Random Thread but from time to time hot topics tend to take over all threads that get posted. It sucks when that happens and sticky's become the result.

Hopefully by Daytona it'll be died down a bit
