"I'm as bored as [the fans] are," Denny Hamlin said when the race ended. "It could be 15 laps, and you would have a better show than it was at 188 [laps]."

Dover Motorsports up for sale

2009-11-03T22:20:34Z

Memphis was only the beginning. Evidently Dover Motor sports is attempting to sell the company. Just what we dont need, more SMI and ISC control. :( Furthermore that mean ill spirited sour B O Smith offered going stock price per share....plus a nickel. Dover is better and more unique than half of the tracks Mr cookie cutter queen owns. Oh well, on the bright side....nobody lives forever..........

These are the true victims of Brian Frances ignorance....The little guys! I think its time for Brian France and Mike Helton to resign

I’m no aerodynamicist, but..

..doesn't the open rear wing on COT cars, designed for downforce, create LIFT when going backwards at 200mph?
Ask Ryan Newman- he's an engineer, and has [recent] first-hand experience.

__________________________________________________________

Pick no more than 4 drivers, top 2 picks count. Points are by the standard NASCAR points system as listed on http://www.racing-reference.info. You can go there yourself to see how you did or double check if you think I got your points wrong.

Make your picks before the start of the race. And don't edit them after the race is over. Remember, honour system!

NEW: You won't be able to pick the same driver in back-to-back races. So whoever you pick this weekend you can't pick any of them for the next. This should make it less likely that everyone picks the same drivers for every race.

If you do pick drivers in back-to-back weeks then not only will they not count for that race but the next race as well.

Bonus points:

1-2 finish - 25 points

Perfect picks (A 1-2 finish in which both drivers leads laps and one leads the most laps) - 50 bonus points.

1-2-3 finish - 100 points

1-2-3-4 finish - 200 points

Keselowski moves to 12 for remainder of season

2009-11-02T19:11:52Z

I doubt the change in car number will make things any safer for other drivers on the track

Those saying no plates and lower banking are asking for a SNOOZEFEST!

2009-11-02T17:38:44Z

I'm sick and tired of hearing people whine about restrictor plate racing and saying take off the plates or cut down the banking. If that would happen, the most exciting races of the year would turn into SNOOZERS! Look at what we have at California, Michigan, Pocono, and Indianapolis. EXTREMELY BORING RACING!

Juan Pablo Montoya

2009-02-15T20:12:00Z

Finished 14th and didn't even have to spin Clint Bowyer to get there.

Needed a thread not about Dale Jr or rain so one about JPM seemed like it would fit the bill. Come to think of it wasn't Juan nicknamed Fire when he was at McLaren? So we've got Fire and Rain there...

Here's some James Taylor to calm everyone down.
