rvrdgsfn Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Dodge's new Charger for 2013 was unveiled today. I do hope they find someone to take them cause IMO, that's a nice looking Car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 That's badass. Too bad no one will be driving it. Tony Stewart picked up his first win at Vegas, didn't watch a lap, but probably a typical Vegas race.

raysox Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 That Charger car is SEXY.Kahne got screwed over again late. He was running 6th, had a great run on the outside of the 16, 99, and 17 car, Kenseth lost it and slid up the track and both slammed into the wall. Kahne finished 19th, and Kenseth finished 22nd.It's a shame, they both had great cars. @MichaelDanger19 | Dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad to know I'm not the only one thinking that.I'm thinking 2013 will see Petty, Gannassi (as he buys out Earnhardt), TBR, Furniture Row, and possibly the new BK Racing team in Dodges.

Good to hear of more possibilities though. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrdgsfn Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I dunno about Ganassi, I mean he's got a engine sharing deal with Childress, the ECR engines. Could make for something interesting, but I could see that, same with Petty, but doesn't Toyota's deal with Michael Waltrip Racing over soon?

Ganassi has no ties whatsoever to Chevy, like Earnhardt did and the only reason EGR is Chevy is because of the "saving" of the Earnhardt name.

rvrdgsfn Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 http://www.nascar.com/news/120313/jjohnson-rhendrick-cknaus-appeal-rejected/index.htmlKnaus is still suspended.Just in.... Chevy's 2013 car, may not be a Malibu or Impala but something new entirely....http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/13/chevrolet-to-replace-impala-in-nascar-for-2013-new-production-m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Actually, he's not as they've appealed the appeal, so he will at least be on top of the box at Bristol. The whole thing with the suspension of Knaus bothers me. I have a problem with NASCAR not following the rules it laid out for inspection and then saying something was illegal and the car was never inspected with the "supposed" illegal parts that would've passed the points that NASCAR checked. If NASCAR can't follow it's own inspection rules they why have rules in the first place? So off the car they were illegal, but they were never checked while on the car? I just find it very questionable by NASCAR and if I was an owner, I would question NASCAR and it's integrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrdgsfn Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I could swear NASCAR's rulebook must be either the hardest thing to find but according to some of the hosts on Sirius Nascar they said its easy to get & its not that complex...I am kind of curious to get my hands on it if possible.

NEW.ERA Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Brad Keselowski wins the Food City 500. Pretty much the most dominant car all day, in one of the quickest Bristol races I can remember.

rvrdgsfn Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 That Blue Deuce was just fast the whole day, even all of Waltrip's cars were in the top 5, including Brian Vickers. MWR has improved this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEW.ERA Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Been a while since that #2 was ripping it up at Bristol. I haven't really had a favorite driver since Rusty retired, may just have to go over to BK2 now.

dfwabel Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I was surprised with two things today.1- The performance of Juan Pablo , but he basically avoided the wrecks rather than had a very fast car today.2- The crown. Whoever works in the Bristol ticket office may have to clean out their desk tomorrow. Wow that crown was sparse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever works in the Bristol ticket office may have to clean out their desk tomorrow. Wow that crown was sparse!Agreed. I mean half of 160,000 is 80,000 which is still a great crowd, but from reading the comments on this issue, yes the economy downfall hit this area hard, but fans seem to really hate the new Bristol. It feels like a smaller Vegas, none of that classic Bristol racing. The progressive banking killed it.

I'm sorry but the old Bristol was not racing at all, it was a demolition derby which while fun to see drivers angry at each other, produced some of the most boring and pathetic excuse for F1-style follow the leader racing.

I will accept that the Kentucky Speedway holding a Cup race may have dented part of the attendance. The other stories I read is that hotels are high, but they were high when the race was sold-out. Their prices haven't changed that much (nor did costs for a fifth-wheel with today's gas prices). I only buy 25% of the reasoning for low sales, but it seemed that the crown was down by 50%.
