LAWeaver Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I wonder if Montoya could take a step down to the Nationwide series like Elliott Sadler, Regan Smith, and Brain Vickers did to regain their footing, so to speak.EDIT: Also, scrolling through my Facebook feed (I get more feed from NASCAR and other sports-related pages than my actual friends ), MRN posted a link that ws captioned "Cup ride not on Kyle Larson's radar". Go ahead end all Larson to Sprint Cup talk. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalcowboyfan92 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Michael McDowell and AJ Allmendinger were on the front row for the Nationwide series race at Mid-Ohio.AJ will try to win his second race in his second start in the #22 Discount Tire Ford Mustang for his former boss, Roger Penske.

NEW.ERA Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 As a Canadian it sucks to see Speed go. We probably will never have Fox Sports 1 up here, so it really does suck, but that's the way TV's going.

LAWeaver Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 According to Marty Smith of ESPN on NASCAR Now this morning, Austin Dillon is expected to race in one more race filling in for Stewart. Also, according to Smith, it is a RUMOR that Mark Martin will be the replacement driver for the other races which would put Brian Vickers in the 55 during that time (I assume).I feel this could be a great choice if it does end up being true. Both Martin and Vickers did a descent job filling in for Hamlin in the early part of the seasonEDIT: Final Results from Michigan:1. Joey Logano2. Kevin Harvick3. Kurt Busch4. Paul Menard5. Clint Bowyer6. Marcos Ambrose7. Kasey Kahne8. Jeff Burton9. Greg Biffle10. Carl EdwardsCorrect me if I'm wrong, but I believe Johnson clinched a spot in the Chase and I also believe Bowyer, Edwards, or both clinched as well. I was also hopin' Martin would have enough in the tank. Thoughts on the race? On to Thunder Valley; Bristol Motor Speedway! @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 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Fox Sports is reporting that Tony Stewart has offered Kurt Busch a chance to drive a 4th car. My first thought was 'NO'. Kurt is a talented driver, but him and his brother are my least favorite drivers. Plus, this has to be an insult to Newman. He was released from his ride, and in the meantime, Stewart is expanding his team (apparently) with no replacement for Rocketman.

Dalcowboyfan92 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 If Kurt can keep his emotions (and his mouth) in check, he can race with the best of them.However, with all his expletive-ridden rants the past couple of years, and his tirade that got him canned from Penske, you have to tread lightly.

If KuBu does take a fourth Steward/Haas car, it will be fully sponsored by Haas' Haas/CNC business. Oh what could have been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needschat Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 In case anyone else missed it, Brendan Gaughan made a funny over the weekend. During an interview, he called the owner of the South Point Casino, sponsoring his #51 Phoenix ride, a dick. Many of the assembled took a few moments to get it. Brendan's dad owns the casino LOL Oh what could have been.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrdgsfn Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 More proof that Austin Dillon is going to Sprint Cup next year... Via JayskiRichard Childress Racing has partnered with D.G Yuengling & Son to be a primary sponsor on the #3 Yuengling Light Lager Chevrolet with driver Ty Dillon during the 2014 NASCAR Nationwide Series season. As part of their 185th anniversary of brewing great lager, America's oldest operating brewery will be the primary sponsor on the RCR Chevrolet Camaro for eight races of the 2014 schedule. Yuengling Light Lager will be a key partner as Dillon moves full time to the Nationwide Series next season.This move kind of strengthens the rumors that Austin Dillon supposedly move up to the Sprint Cup Series in 2014, driving a car for Richard Childress Racing. Rumors have Childress bring back the #3 with Austin Dillon driving, either replacing Kevin Harvick in the #29 and changing to the #3 or as a fourth Cup team in 2014.

Dalcowboyfan92 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Mark Martin has been named the driver of the #14 car for the rest of the reason, meaning Stewart's not going to have a return at least until Winter Testing in early 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAWeaver Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Good for mark to get that spot. I think he should do pretty good in that ride considering he was only a few laps from ending his 120+ winless drought at Michigan. Also, regarding what rvrdgsfn said, I could see the team adding Newman to the 29 with Dillon in the 3. But will Childress move the owners points from the 29 to the 3, ensuring Dillon the first few races of the year and having Rocketman fend for himself, so to speak, or have enough confidence in his grandson to make the races on his own? @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
