There's no way in hell that Johnson (sixth, -43) or Kenseth (fifth, -36) is going to win the championship this year. Honestly, only Harvick and Stewart have a plausible path to overtake Edwards. With just three races left, it's far too difficult to make up a large deficit with several good teams in front of you. I mean, think about the arithmetic: realistically, Edwards AND Stewart AND Harvick would all have to have a very poor result somewhere amongst the final three races, all while Johnson and Kenseth reel off three top-fives. Are you comfortable projecting all three of the top drivers in the current standings to have a disaster race? I'm certainly not. If it helps, consider that by my math, a 43 point deficit is approximately equivalent to 146 points under the old system (and 36 is 122). That's a lot to ask in three races.

Granted. I just want to keep saying that the 48 has a chance because that will jinx him. :lol:
 
Just read that David Reutiman was out at the end of the season and Mark Martin would drive a partial schedule for MWR. If this is truethen where do you think Reutiman will end up?

Its pretty much going to be official friday that Martin will split driving duties with David Reutimann.



Edit: lol, Reutimann with Reutimann. I knew there was clones :lol:

I really hope she wins. People I know don't take her seriously because of her Go Daddy ads, which is understandable, but average people forget that she's a really good driver. I just want her to be remembered for her racing, not her habit of never turning down an advertising opportunity.

I think she has the same issue as Jr. in that both are focused on their celebrity instead of the thing they are famous for. Both drivers have shown glimpses of what could be but neither has been able to make it amount to anything lately(saying lately since Jr. had a very good run while at DEI).


Also adding to the news bits, Mayfield was busted for Meth, so much for NASCAR lying and all that.

Unfortunately, I read the move as another advertising opportunity so I don't see her in a better light.

Her racecraft was IMO (disregarding gender) pretty average compared to the rest of the field in Indy Cars with glimpses of good at places like Indy and Texas. She'll definitely be better than the last woman NASCAR driver I remember (Shawna Robinson) but anything better than 20th will be a surprise for me.

I"m still don't buy the first time. Why did they take so long with that case? What warrented them taking longer with that one then it did to bust Fike or Hmiel?

This on the other hand has made me lose all the respect I had for Mayfield. He doing all this fighting only to turn right around and do the complete opposite.
 
If anyone follows the Truck, Kyle Busch took out Ron Hornaday for something innocuous, ruining his championship hopes.

When I think I can't stand that buffoon any more, he does that. I'm liking Stewart's idea of having a boxing match to settle these things even better now.

Didn't watch it but, just another reason to hate the number 18.
 
Kyle Busch, just when you thought he was starting to finally mature, he goes back to his old self.:rolleyes:

How has he not learned anything from Kurt?
 
It's possible that Kyle won't race on Sunday. Back in 2002, Harvick was not allowed to run the Martinsville Cup race after an incident in the Truck race.
 
I hope they park Kyle Busch for the rest of the season.It would the serve the punk right.

He has to be the biggest idiot,no let me re-phrase that.He is the biggest idiot in Nascar.I don't see how people can be a fan of this guy.He has no class whatsoever.

I say this to all my friends.Stuff like this is why Sprint Cup Drivers should not be allowed to race in the Camping and Nextel Cup vehicles.If Kyle Busch wouldn't have been in that race, Ron Hornaday could be looking at a run for a 5th Championship as he had a heck of truck early on.

Good, will serve the punk right. I just saw what he did, and it was absolutely uncalled for. I'd also make him pay for the #33 damages out of his own pocket.

Just another reason why I hate that bastard. 👎:yuck:
 
Just watched it on NASCAR.com where they have the interviews afterwards, of course it was all Hornaday's fault according to Busch.:rolleyes:

Really hope his crew chief doesn't get fined though as he was trying to calm the baby's tantrum.

Hopefully NASCAR takes his race license away for the rest of the year.
 
The comments on Speed.com are just completely stupid. People are actually defending him? Really?

I can't believe it either.Those people are just as big of an idiot as Kyle is.
 
Speed.com, you'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villany.
 
I think it's time to go back and post this again:

And as Ron said it" give me a cup car and he'll never race for a championship again."

This little skid mark needs to be parked Sunday for sure. He went way too far, thank the soft walls and Hans devices or we would have seen something very horrible. I lol'd at Kevin Harvicks comment in victory lane "he'll feel the pain soon enough". I know he produces wins and sponsorship money but IMO Joe Gibbs needs to re-evaluate driver 18. The Coach is a good man, I just don't see how even with the $$$$$ he's put up with skid mark this long.
