NEW.ERA Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 I will agree with you on that point to an extent Lights Out, but you have to think Gibbs equipment and Logano reaching his full potential will get him in to the Elite sooner rather then later.

oddball Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Logano has to win on a consitant basis to even have me think of him as a threat... to do anything besides call out Delana Harvick. Sure he had a nice run at the end of last year, but that was last year. Rutty-man is one of those drivers who will win a race or so a year, but nothing more. He kind of reminds me of Ricky Rudd, never a serious threat to win it all, but guarenteed a win a year. Oh and there has never been an exciting year in F1, so to blame Schumacher for winning is wrong, blame the sport for it's rules that aren't competitive.

Lights Out Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I will agree with you on that point to an extent Lights Out, but you have to think Gibbs equipment and Logano reaching his full potential will get him in to the Elite sooner rather then later.Even with Waltrip equipment, Reutimann was consistently in the mix on raceday last season. Granted, he'll have to take the next step and develop that killer instinct to close out a race, but considering his improvement in the past two seasons, I could definitely see him in the Chase this season. (He also needs to piss off Kyle Busch more often, because the time he owned Cryle at Kansas Speedway last season was great. But that's besides the point.)As for Logano, I could go either way on him. He could be in the Chase next year, but he hasn't really impressed me. He needs to rein in his attitude ("DeLana wears the firesuit in the family"? Really?) and stop racking up DNF's if he wants to take the next step. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really?) and stop racking up DNF's if he wants to take the next step.The funny thing about Reutimann is that when he got pissed off at Kyle for what Kyle said about him at Bristol, Kyle didn't say anything bad. Kyle just stated that when David learns to drive Bristol he won't be following Kyle. Reutimann needs to focus on himself more than he does Kyle. It's why I don't see anyone knocking off JJ this year or anytime soon. JJ does not focus on the competition, but rather on what he can do. He as someone pointed out yesterday on some show I was watching, elevates everyone around him. None and I mean none of the other drivers in the garage can focus on themselves and their team, they are too worried about what such and such a driver is doing. Throw on tip of that, none of them can elevate anyone around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Kentucky has a Sprint Cup race now? Wow... You know, if Kentucky can get one, why not Iowa? Come on, NASCAR. You gave Iowa a 2nd Nationwide race this upcoming season. Time to give the boys in Newton a chance to see the big leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runs like a speedway but with all the technicality of a road courseAlso, switching the scheme from red to black makes Harvick's car look so badass.

I love Iowa time to knock a Pocono date off and make it a Saturday night race in June at Iowa.It would be difficult for Pocono to lose one of its races due to its proximity to the New York and Philadelphia television markets, but dwindling fan interest could change this perspective. Additionally, in reviewing the 2011 Sprint Cup Series Schedule, I can envision Pocono losing the June race to Iowa in the future:June 5: KansasJune 12: Pocono (Iowa)June 19: MichiganJune 25: InfineonJuly 31: IndianapolisAugust 7: PoconoAugust 14: Watkins GlenAugust 21: Michigan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
