Announced today on NASCAR America. Very interesting to hear Dale talk about what he experienced recovering
from the concussions -- from the earliest one he had. Said there are things in the book that not even his doctor knew, neither
did Amy. How scared he was.

Holy cow, Bowyer is sitting pretty at 3rd in the points. I better cook up some crow for myself, I didn't think he would do much in that ride and I was defo wrong!

I picked up a few posters today from a guy on craigslist for $5 each...

I got some frames for them (Hobby Lobby) and they will be going up in the garage as soon as I'm done painting. I'm extremely happy that I found these. The three posters are Bobby Rahal, Terry Labonte, and IMSA Columbus Ford Dealers 500 (1986). I had no idea that Columbus ever hosted any IMSA racing, but apparently we did for a few years in the 80's. Learn something new every day!

Why are two posts about the death of James Hilton banished in the main thread areas? Hilton is a major part of NASCAR history. RIP James....

They weren't banished --- they were put with all the other threads about the people we've lost in racing over the years.
The Checkered Flag.

The emotions of lows and highs from getting tractor stuck to successfully getting it out is worse than a superspeedway race.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.‏Verified account @DaleJr
The only solution to a stuck tractor is more tractors. Good to know tractor friends. #experience

Who knows there may be a less tragic 4th generation yet.

"... the infield section of the track feels like a true road course. ..."

 

[jws926]

Oh yeah

Menard IMO gave the best description of the roval, about the course and what he thinks it will be like to race on to date.

Ward Burton on twitter is weird...mostly because you can understand him

This is interesting...only 12 different winners in 2008 with ages (roughly).

Carl Edwards 28
Ryan Newman 30
KDB 23
Jeff Burton 40
Denny Hamlin 27
JJ 32
Clint Bowyer 28
Kasey Kahne 28
JR 33
Kurt Busch 29
Greg Biffle 38
Tony Stewart 36

 

[TexasRaceLady]

What's really interesting to me is from 2014 the average age of the field has gone down --- no surprise
But, the average age of the winners has pretty much stayed the same.

I guess experience does matter.

Harvick and Ky Busch weren't B.Sing. Could get even higher if Kenseth comes in and gets a win or two.

Wishes more backmarkers had the 1998 spirit of a Rich bickle at Martinsville or Jerry Neadeu at Sonoma.

I wonder why I'm not hearing much about Victory Junction anymore.

You're right. It's like it fell off the map.

I think it's a lot because you dont see Kyle Petty in the media as much, I have seen on twitter he is getting ready for the charity ride so it's still happening.

 

[StandOnIt]

The Petty's are going to have their baby somewhere along the route.
