I saw the full set somewhere, and there was a #12 car on the track pulled up next to the #2. No #12 was entered in the race. Was that a fake Sprint mobile car they set up to get some ad time?
 
Do you think after the race at Homestead, Carl gave Jimmie Johnson a call?

I bet it went like this.

"Hi Jimmie, Carl here."

"Hi Carl, What's up?" Says JJ

"I was wondering something", Said Carl, "Were you PREPARED to lose?"

o_O

I have a feeling they may have trouble getting it done the way they want. I wouldn't be surprised if Kyle waits to see how they perform next year, because JGR was horrible this year. There are a few top teams with room in 2014, so testing the waters might be a good idea. Maybe that's why Kyle is working so hard on cleaning up his image.

From what I understand, Kyle was calling around after they missed the Chase. Doesn't seem like anyone had anything open for him.

Huh? Wouldn't he be able to bring some sponsors with him? If Kyle can't walk into any organization with room, things are real bad.

Nobody worth their salt with their sponsors wants to bring him on? Really?

Im sure it couldn't be because they think he's a liability! :oops:

Danica won the NNS Most Popular Driver award.

Not surprised at all. She did herself proud! Dillon got the NNS ROY award. That was well-deserved too!

BUT... Does this mean that JOONYER might have some competition for the CUP MPD award in 2013???
 
How cool was the yellow smoke from all of the burnouts this past weekend. Maybe they should paint the apron red, white & blue and see what they could get going on? Anyhow, great pic none the less.

That would be cool. The drivers seemed to love the yellow patch, and the fans too.
 
No more carrying that damned cooler for this me when I attend the races starting next season. I'm going to start sporting this. Pure genius @ only $29.95

Has there been any talk of Nascar having a road course race at the new F1 track in Texas, and would it be good or bad if they did have a race there?

I'm not familiar with the track other than seeing a pic of its layout. Personally, I think it'd be great if Cup goes there, or any other road course for that matter.

IMO it'd be more bad then good. The track was made for high speed/downforce cars like F1 and I'd think the cup cars would be too slow to do it justice. The track is awesome over there, the evaluation changes and the mix of high speed corners and heavy brake zones was really good. I don't think they'll be second guessing leaving Indy any time soon.

The Aussie V8 Supercars will be there in April '13. They're hardly any more high speed/downforce or slower than Cup.

The V8 Supercar is a purposely built $600,000(US)road course car. It weighs 2987lbs and produces 1780lbs to over 2,000lbs of downforce. The suspension is very high tech and adjustable from the ****pit. It also runs on 11" tires.
