HEY NASCAR GUYS/GALS!!!

Dean, I couldnt agree with you more. Frozen field finishes and restrictor plate races. Either we are racing or we are not.(Dont get me started on the lucky dog rule) Then to see rules applied so unevenly really disgusts me. If Tony Stewart gets sent to the end of the longest line for blatantly trying to take Matt Kenseth out, then give Kenseth the same penalty for retaliating, dont black flag the man for defending himself. I am from Indiana and really like Smoke, but he pisses the h*ll out of me more often than not.

Just watched some of the replays on Speed ...it appears that Smoke has cooled off a little especially on the Gordon incident but is still hot about the Kenseth thing...well see how that carries over to Fontana...for talking about bump drafting at Daytona and Talladega and the dangers and all...I think he was kind of pushing the envelope today...but that's what makes racing...

Haven't been able to watch NASCAR since Dale Earnhardt died.

Is Dodge still running Nextel cup races?

[doug hodder]

Yup...and I maybe screwed up on the year...but Toyota is in it in 2007 Doug

...and possibly Honda the year after ..........................................................

[doug hodder]

Yeah Jack...that's what I heard...I just hope I'm gone before we get Kia into Nascar....and do you know what profile they are going to build on? Doug

[madjack]

Toyota is supposed to doing up a Camry....I have no idea about Honda.......................................

[doug hodder]

And the rumor is that Toyota is going to spend the other manufacturers into the hole...I guess it is to be expected...back in the late 50's through at least the late 70's..."win a race on Sunday, sell cars on Monday" as a sponsor Tide found that out also, whatever wins on Sunday sells Monday...

Toyota is supposed to be fielding 6 cars with Mikey leading the way...I guess that figures since his other brother Darrel is already doin' the trucks

Jack isn't it Darrell that'll be owning Mikey's Toyota Camry?
As for Smoke man his driving inabilities today had me fuming after he talked all week about safer non-aggressive driving!!!! I guess he had a laps from the anger managment courses.
congrats to Johnson and his fans out there.

Tony said afterwards that taking Kenseth out was a payback for when Kenseth turned him sideways... I guess Tony feels that Kenseth should have been able to save it... I don't see how... But, Tony got squeezed down into the grass last year, shot through the infield and rejoined the pack right in the middle of the turn without missin' a beat, loosing only a couple of spots... Maybe he felt that Kenseth should have been able to duplicate the move???
Tony is an incredible driver and he's my man, but after what he's been preachin' all week, that very late block on Kenseth was a bonehead move.
I do agree with Tony about the incident he had with the #24 car. I don't see how Jeff feels it was 50% Tony's fault that he got tight and drifted up into Tony.
Tony wasn't the only one to pull a bonehead move today...
Welp, on to California.
Maybe Volvo should get into fray, they already have a boxy car that would fit into the mix of the car of the furure for 2008.

Steven, here is the article I read about Mickey forming a team to race a pait of Toys in '07...if you goto nascar.com and enter toyota in their seach engine, it will give

Hhhmmm kinda looks like a cross bred Monte and a Fusion!!
But sharp though..

[doug hodder]

Yeah...but Dean...if Tony was really thinking like he can...wouldn't he have backed out of it and given Gordon the wall on his own and avoided the whole thing? Maybe a relapse?...just my opinion, but it was way early in the race to try to hold onto a maybe position....I did get a kick out of the neighbors tow truck driver friend...he announced that he thought he could "run with the Nascar guys", but didn't think he could pass them....just a heads up for someone that may enter the "Doug Zone" and get their car towed, and I'm sure he's not the only one thinking like that....Doug

I guess Honda will have to make a NASCAR specific engine too. Pushrods? What's that? Since I'm a ricer at heart, I'll probably start watching NASCAR again. Maybe Rahal will field a team?
