Re: NASCAR thread
 

They've been working at Daytona to adjust the spoiler and whatever restrictor plate they'll be making work on the new FI engines to break up the tandem drafts. It'll be interesting to see in a few months what they've managed to come up with. The two car trains don't make for exciting racing to watch, but I'm sure it's no less than sheer terror for the drivers.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

All cars are restricted in power, the teams draft to get speed, without it, we would be watching cars going on a 2.5 mile track at 140mph... The tandem drafting, imo, is more exciting than the huge line drafts. I would love the restrictor plates to be removed, nascar has proved on several incidents that the cars are INCREDIBLY safe :)

You mean when they are airborne in the catch fence lol?

They were running over 200mph at Daytona with single cars in the test.

Kurt Busch fired from Penske.
Bout dam n time

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Just saw it on ESPN. Wow! His circumstances when he 'left' Roush weren't much better. Wonder if anyone will bring him on board? Maybe he and Kyle should form their own 'Anger Management' team?

2 shrubs in one pot.
AT least Roger has a set.
Too bad Roush already has one oil sponsor,
Kenseth and Ragan need sponsorship.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

It sucks to see such behavior out of a former champion. This might be a second chance for Sam Hornish. He seems like a really good guy. :orange:

Maybe Joe can fire shrub and really make this a good week. The formal announcement should be tomorrow and he will probably have another ride before the new year. Both of the Busch brothers are exceptional drivers; if they didn't have mental problems they could be great.

I bet Shells kicking themselves for dropping Harvick. I agree...Gibbs needs to grow a set now. Those idiots are going nowhere in this sport acting like brats.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Wow... I could have seen Joe Gibbs kicking Kyle, but Kurt from Penske? Nothing is formal until officially announced, remember in July when everyone saying it was "confirmed" Edwards would be going to Gibbs? I'll wait for the official annoucement, I can see him replacing Vickers in Team redbull though...

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Pretty is talking to Kurt today :smokin:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

who?

Re: NASCAR thread
 

You know. Kyle Pretty, Richard Pretty. Pretty Enterprises.

Didn't even think there on the typo

Re: NASCAR thread
 

If I rob a bank, I want you to be the only witness. That way once the trial rolls around you will have forgotten all about the robbery and tell the jury I am a stand up guy.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

It was petty clear to me!

I think team redbull is fully disbanding at the end of the year unless someone buys the team and all of its assets. Redbull will no longer be a sponsor in NASCAR unless I missed a new announcement.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Just because he had issues with Keslowski makes him an a**hole? He has proven to be probably the most calm person in the sport. He didn't trash talk like stewart, he didn't make threats like vickers/busches. Everyone gets ticked off, if someone sent me into a fence at 200mph, I'd be pretty p*ssed off too!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Richard Pretty:secret:

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Oh come on, you know he's a class act. Just watch this video and you'll see....

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Let's bring things up from FOUR years ago, yep. People can't change and I act the exact same way as I did 4 years ago when I was 15... get real guys. I believe he actually took anger management courses to help his temper.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

OK, how about this year when he tried to kill Brad Kesolowski?

I will admit he's done better since then though.

Re: NASCAR thread
 

I can't believe, That of the 2 bush bro's, PEE WEE was not the one that got FIRED!

Re: NASCAR thread
 

Kesolowski was racing him like an a**hole, Carl did back. Carl admitted in a post race interview on that. And what Brad did to carl at Dega couldn't have killed carl? I know for a fact FANS actually got injuryed in that incident because of kesolowski.

Watch at 2:50. The media likes to make Carl look like the bad guy because NASCAR HATES Roush, that has been proven time and time again. I watched that race, a few laps earlier is shown at 3:29 in the video, if you race Carl dirty, he will back, same with the Kenesth/Vickers incident. Don't call the kettle black, Brad has dumped more drivers to win in his day than carl has EVER dumped.
