Jr whining after the race that Biffle wouldn't pull out on his team mate.

The season is still young. Great finishes by Gordon and JJ. Congrats to Matt and Greg on strong finishes, and even Carl finished respectably considering his night.

Ratings
Daytona 500 TV Ratings (lots of info here):
Fox's impromptu primetime coverage of a rain-delayed Daytona 500 rained on everyone else's parade, driving almost every rival down in viewership. What's more, by averaging 14.24 million total viewers and a 4.5 demo rating,
Fox's NASCAR coverage about doubled its typical House/Alcatraz numbers and thus led the network to a rare Monday win on both counts

Re: NASCAR thread
 

lmao I like the last 2 statistics the most;)

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Chad Knauss fined 100k and suspended for 6 races for cheating at Daytona.
He appealing, so he will be allowed to cheat again until a hearing.

LINK
Also, JJ was docked 26 points.
I guess that's 13 points per attempted lap.

:23::23:

How can you cheat on a C-pillar? Why would you? :secret: Perhaps it's a diversion from his other cheating!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

It was designed to take air off the rear spolier.
ASSCAR is very strict with the COT bodies.
I think the 25 points should also translate to chase points.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Good!

Guess jimmy should have slammed the side of the car into a wall like he told him to do with the rear spoiler if they win a race. Wonder why he would have said that?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

:cool: This year could'nt start any better.
Matt wins. The Ford's do GREAT, Jeffy blows up, JJ hits the wall and takes out D.P. so we did'nt have to hear about her ALL NIGHT.
Now more trouble for the 48 team. :COOL:
Now if we could get rid of DW and his brother, little DW. Life would be SWEET.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I just looked at the points standings.
JJ is 49th out of 49 with -23 points. (that's NEGATIVE 23 points) :loser:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

exactly what i was thinking!

Penske switching to FORD beginning in 2013

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Smart man. Won't be many Dodge's left.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Except Robbie Gordon, and Ford wants nothing to do with him.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

:23: Who does?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

What's with all the hate for Robbie Gordon? I'd rather hang out with him for a day than most of the other corporate geeks the NASCAR guys have turned into.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Having worked with people at Ford who dealt with him personally,
he is alleged to be one of the most arrogant know it alls of all time,
ranking right up there with Jackie Stewart, whom I have met.
If he is like JS, I do not blame Ford at all.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Hmmm, if he's as big of a hind end as Jackie Stewart, then it would make for a long day, cause JS is an azz. I was thinking a day with Gordon would be all jump ramps, mud, crashes and maybe a fight or two, the kind of thing you barely survive and then laugh about the rest of your life.
