See Red Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I still think Harvick is the man to beat for the championship. JGR may be tough to beat and getting wins, but Harvick gets second every damn race, and that's enough to win a championship -- plus, that Phoenix race before Homestead is a huge advantage for him given his dominance there.Gordon's had a nightmare of a year. His pit crew has been terrible all season. But boy, that 24 car was a beauty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unocal Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 I used to love that Pennzoil 22 when Kurt drove it, but yet I now root against the same car. Joey just annoys the heck out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Results from Bristol:1. Logano2. Harvick3. Hamlin4. Johnson5. Bowyer6. Keselowski7. Edwards8. Kyle Busch9. Earnhardt Jr.10. NewmanSo close but yet so far for Harvick, traffic hit & it was hard to catch Logano. He just looked good, just like last season. Next up, the track too tough to tame, the lady in black herself Darlington.Harvick wasn't going to catch Logano tonight. It was evident his car was pushing center off, and Logano car was working so he could cut his car in the corners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAWeaver Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 I imagine it'll be half blue/half white (top blue, top white) with the in-between area being an ice/frost/mountain design with red numbers. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAWeaver Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Could someone else run a Budweiser car?Doubt it. It's the same company (Anhueser-Busch). If so, it would most likely be someone already in SHR. Again, it's the same company, just swapping out products on the car. Would be like a Coca-cola sponsored car switching to Sprite or Mello Yellow. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfwabel Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Ouch!Even accounting for the move from broadcast to cable, Saturday’s NASCAR race from Bristol was a poor draw in the metered markets (Sports Media Watch).NASCAR Sprint Cup racing from Bristol (TN) earned a 1.9 overnight rating on NBCSN Saturday night, down 44% from last year (3.4) and down 49% from 2013 (3.7), both on ABC. The 1.9 is the second-lowest for any Sprint Cup race this season, ahead of only a 1.5 for Kansas on Fox Sports 1 in May.Including the Kentucky race on NBCSN last month (2.0), the three Saturday night races on cable this season have been the three lowest rated in the metered markets.Overall, 12 of the 13 Sprint Cup races on cable have had a decline in overnight ratings, with the aforementioned Kentucky race the lone exception.UPDATE 8/24: Post updated to correct previous years’ data on ABC.

sc49erfan15 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Dale Jr. to race a Valvoline scheme inspired by a scheme run by the great Cale Yarborough in the Southern 500.Cale and Buddy Baker as well - a fitting tribute. Both Cale and Buddy are also from very near Darlington - Timmonsville and Florence, respectively.Similar Valvoline cars were also driven by, in decreasing order of importance: Neil Bonnett, Morgan Shepherd, Ron Bouchard, Joe Ruttman, and Greg Sacks.21, 75, 98, 47, and 50 on essentially the same car. It's like the NASCAR equivalent of MiLB teams using an edited version of the parent team's logo. Personally, I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAWeaver Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm surprised they're counting Danica's as a throwback. It's in honor of the track's Lady in Black nickname, not something GoDaddy or Danica have used before. I really like Kurt's scheme, even if it isn't as old as some of the others. Needs to be in the rotation, probably for night races.EDIT: Just realized that Mark Martin's late 90's scheme was a bunch of Vs for the red and light blue. They replicated that with the AdvoCare A for Bayne. Top 5 for me along with Jr., Almirola, Larson, and Harvick (saw that car at SHR a while back in person; beautiful car).This is arguably one of the most astheticly(sp?) pleasing races since the 90's. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
