dfwabel Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I am glad that I did a bit more research before posting, but it was a year ago this week when Mark Martin said that his son, Matt would not fasttrack into a career as a driver. I remember hearing about him for like 7 years, but apparently he will not go directly into a car. Actually, that is refreshing to me to hear as I am tired of non-talented athlete's kids becoming athletes (Saul Smith, insert wrestler's kid here, Jon Berry) and the like within the other arts (any cannot act/sing kid, plus Brooke Hogan).

NEW.ERA Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I love the new Double File restart rule for the first time in while I actually enjoyed watching Pocono. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DelayedPenalty Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Tony Tony Tony!!! Stewart-Haas is a force to be recconed with this season! Stewart leads the points, Newman sits 4th. Both had great races in Pocono, a fantastic win for Smoke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, some serious safety issues need to be addressed if the entire car disintigrates and the roll cage crumples at that speed (≈120 mph). Tragic accident, but could have been avoided with proper facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that essentially took out Richard Childress Racing's hope of victory? Yeah, right? The CCSLC's resident Geelong Cats fan. Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends.

oddball Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Obviously you didn't see the fact that it was Jr's fault for spinning his tires that caused that wreck and that Truex and Kyle were victims of Jr's start. Kyle had no clue that Jr spun his tires and that Truex would dive down there, so why blame him? Oh that's right, because you look through life with Jr colored glasses instead of reality.

I just know the following:1-From 10-14 in points is as close I remember it since they started The Chase and that is good. The most I have looked at the positions 9-15 since they started "The Chase". I think that the COT has worked to a point.2-I want JPM to do well on the last "plate" race before The Chase.3-I REALLY need to know what Bil Weber said to get removed from the last three TNT broadcasts.NHMS Ratings Up. Bill Weber News, and other NASCAR ratings Information4-NASCAR and the economy has made news lately. First, ESPN had an OTL on them and now CNBC will air a special on July 5. Interesting as attendance falls and so do sponsors. The France family really hides from all this, including the possibility that Sprint may also file Chapter 11. (And I have had Sprint since 2000 and know they give the better coverage in stadiums and tracks). There is still a lack of emphasis on WINNING! The points system has to change to make a difference; otherwise you will see drivers like JPM try for top 10s to just get to The Chase, like Kenseth and Kulwicki did to win the series title in the old system. Teams did do, "points racing" before but did not publically admit it as teh 42 team did. Bonus points or not, the top two are still to close for me.

BrySmalls Posted July 2, 2009 Author Share Posted July 2, 2009 Mayfield's ban lifted.He still can't find a ride as sponsors aren't lining up behind the guy...but when he does, he's baaaaaaaaaaack!!!!Wow, this whole article has opened a can of worms, including this portion of it:Diehl claimed that NASCAR's drug testing program does not meet federal workplace guidelines or follow proper procedure of SAMHSA [substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration].He argued that Mayfield did not give permission for the "B" sample to be tested after the "A" sample came back positive, as guidelines state, and that the "B" sample should have been tested at an independent laboratory. He said since proper procedure was not used and because the "B" sample was compromised when opened that the entire test should be thrown out.Both samples originally were tested by Aegis Laboratory, the Nashville, Tenn.-based facility NASCAR employs to run its testing program."They must be held accountable," Diehl said of NASCAR and Aegis. "If you don't follow procedure then drug tests are thrown out."Diehl also argued that NASCAR's policy is unfair because it does not provide a list of all banned substances, as is the case in most other professional sports.He referred to the governing body as having almost god-like powers, saying "if they decide to ban Coca-Cola or coffee or orange juice or anything else," they can."That just smells bad," Diehl said. "And it stinks enough that the court should say 'You can't do that.' " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
