ESPN does better then TNT on the races. it should be FOX/Speed &ESPN/ABC Cover the races.

So the word is JGR is going to announce today officially what we have known since February. Tony Stewrat is leaving Joe Gibbs. I really don't like the guy as a person, however I applaud him doing this. He want's to own his own team and is taking a gamble leaving a successful organization like JGR(Toyota traitor). I don't think Stewrat was very excited about being in a Toyota either.

He really hates the yota switch and will soon be able to verbalize his distaste for Toyota.

Plus, he's had to hand the limelight over to Dumbo! As well as the new kid they've got running for JGR...

I think that is more the reason than Toyota!!

Hey Tony, Enjoy being as competative as Michael Waltrip in your new team!! Take Mike's advice, get as much $$ up front before they see how crappy you run, cheat a little and complain alot, that should get a couple of years before your sponsors begin to bail (if you don't get thrown in jail for punching a kid who asks for an autograph after your 20 consecutive crappy finish).

On a seperate topic, Anyone see the stories about how few fans they had at the Daytona Firecracker 400 (yeah, I know that is what they used to call it back in the day!)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2040970/posts

Love the comments on this story. And I love how they blame the lower numbers on the economy. Check the stats on all race tracks over the last couple of years, most will have similiar declines. Heck, if you want spring Bristol tickets, you can buy lots for under face! You might even be able to get some good deals on August race tickets if you look around and stay away from ebay!! Thanks to NASCAR & the powers in control for screwing up a really great sport.

And another thing is gas prices to, people are not going to,

I am paying a lot for the tickets I'm getting for the August Bristol race. $0.00

It used to be a great race when there were drivers I cared about and hated. Now, I just don't care about any of them. You will have a great time. Bristol is an experiance besides the race. Are you camping or staying at a hotel? Do you know where your seats are located?

I wish I could say that about my tickets and hotel.

falcongtho3 · 07-11-2008, 07:47 AM

Just read that 'Zippy' is not going with Stewrat to Haas/CNC. Very surprised at that. They worked very well together.
With Cup qualifying rained out for Saturday nights race, it'll give more cars the chance to pass up Dumbo...maybe even some Chevys as well!

I heard that also. Also heard that Home Depot is staying with Joe Gibbs. Gibbs is tight with the Co-Founder of Home Depot/ Owner of Atlanta Falcons, Arther Blank.

We should start a pool on when Tony looses it and lashes out at a fan/reporter/crew member/crew chief/nascar official/grandmother/child/puppy as an owner! I say at either the Richmond or Bristol races.

gvervoren · 07-11-2008, 06:58 PM

I'm not sure where the seats are yet cause we will get our tickets in a couple of weeks but we are staying in a hotel in Sevierville (Not sure on the spelling). This will be my second time at Bristol. I went to the day race a few years back.

I say it will be this weekend in Chicago. This will happen as a result of a three car accident. Dumbo ears will take out Stewart and Hamlin in the final laps of the race knocking them out of 1 & 2. Busch will say for some reason they were not using their hp advantage and I was, so I moved them out of the way. I could care less that they are teammates. In the end Dumbo will make an inadvertant right hand turn on the last lap and lose anyhow.

Stewrat will have a big time meltdown rip dumbo's ears off and then shove them up an ESPN reporters

when asked how he feels about his teammate and being knocked out of the race.

As for Stewrats sponsor next year it looks like Office Depot.

Haters, I predict number #18 for the win.

And I predict #18 will be hated regardless of finish...but, he's earned it...

(but I do have to say I really enjoyed Stewrats start last night in the Nationwide series...I've never seen anyone shift into reverse when the green flag drops...)

Now would you be such a big fan of Dumbo if Joe Gibbs were a NY Giants coach instead.

I think not!!!!!!!

falcongtho3 · 07-12-2008, 07:25 PM

It's amazing that last night so much of the pre-race was spent talking about toning down the unfair advantage the Toyotas seem to enjoy. They've been relatively untouched since their introduction to Cup/Nationwide racing. NASCAR might actually be listining to their fans and gettign poised to do something about it. My favorite line last night was how a monkey could win in the Camrys. Fit Busch to a 'T'.
Now if NASCAR can steer their way clear of their lastest 'action'; possibly putting money towards ****** *****s ********* campaign...(darn, the p0litical post filter got me...)

They did the same thing when Dodge came back into Nascar. Dodge did'nt win anything the first year or two. Then Nascar gives them a front nose change and then BOOM! Sterling Marlin, a guy who had'nt won a race in ten years suddenly starts winning and driving great. This Chicago night race is great. It now gives me a summer race to possibly go to. Normally, I only see spring or fall races. I refuse to go to a race and sit in 95 degree heat.

birdman941 · 07-12-2008, 08:49 PM

Brian (Traiterous Weasel) France drives a Lexus.
That says it all for me.
What a great American. (NOT!!!)
Wonder what he paid for it.

falcongtho3 · 07-12-2008, 09:07 PM

He probably got it for free when he let Toyota pace so many races and supply support vehicles (unsold Tundras).

Im actually a Stewart fan but I do like Kyles attitude. And Gibbs is a class act no matter who he coaches for (excluding the cowboys).

Thunderbolt · 07-12-2008, 10:28 PM

What is Stewart going to be driving next year? Chevy again?

birdman941 · 07-12-2008, 10:30 PM

Yep.
Not a Ford, but at least American.

beerformeplz · 07-12-2008, 11:18 PM

Thank you David for the caution.

Thunderbolt · 07-12-2008, 11:27 PM

Good close ending to the race. I think Kyle drove the wheels off that car. Unreal.
