Slim's Unofficial 2009 NASCAR Brag/Rant/Rage Thread

[Slim]

I didn't know about the thing in '06...I only started following NASCAR last year because of my roommates.

Do you think that's on GY or NASCAR for introducing the COY too soon, or both?

Yeah, the only Cup race Vickers has ever won was the 06 Fall race at Talladega. I don't think there was any real revenge factor going on, but it funny that the same guys seem to always find eachother on the track

I am a JR fan all the way. I have to BOO him for the 500.

I think Jr would even say it was a bone-head move. Bad thing is it happened in front of the whole field.

I don't know if you ever saw Tony's interview after one of the first races last year about GoodYear, but that pretty well sums it up.

Yeah Mike, Tony let GY have it after Newman's car lost that left rear and put both cars on the trailer. Here's a somewhat little known fact...Goodyear supplies tires to all the teams for each race for free. It's kind of a good deal for making the race. However, after Tony busted Goodyear out on TV over the Atlanta race last year, Goodyear started charging Joe Gibbs for Tony's tires...not much was made of it, but I have to wonder if GY is charging Stewart-Haas for their tires. I also wonder if we'll start to hear rumblings about Stewart wanting to bring Hoosier back into NASCAR...could be interesting.

Arg! Months of no racing for that!! I can't believe they called it No way would Kenseth have won had the race been allowed to restart.
Hope it is not another disappointing year for Kasey but would looove to see the Busch brothers wreck a few times (Gordon too!)
Personally, I'm waiting for 3/22. Nothing better than a Bristol race, just wish I was going to be there this year.

I'm totally with you cat, and I think Kasey has a chance to run well this year...I hate to say it, but Dodge is due, and Kasey is their premier driver.
