Crappy drivers don't end up with 12 wins. He also finished last year 14th(with 1 win) in the standings where Vickers finished 25th(with 0 wins) in the same equipment.

Vickers is a horrible driver, any team he has driven for will show you how he stacks up against his team mates. So pointing out a weaker driver doesn't really say much. Once again I did say Khane was good, when at Everham. If you look at where most of his wins come from...Oh I know EVERHAM!!!

Red Bull was insanely inconsistent, so while they may have not been crappy they were far from good.

They weren't far from good, the were pretty good and second best Toyota team far ahead of an already established Toyota team. Just the way I see it.

Just like RCR and Gibbs, Great equipment, piss poor Consistency.

Or Roush from time to time.



Either way Reuitemann isn't that horrible, and I understand why he stayed out, I don't agree with it in the end.
 
Jimmie and Jeff had no choice.
Everyone does the opposite of them.
Stay out, everyone pits.
Pit, everyone stays out.
The advantage goes to not pitting, due to track position and the difficulty of passing on the track. They may of got wrecked, but they did what they had to do, when put in the position they were in.

Honestly, you are being harsh to a driver that has only been with two teams outside of Evernham for no more then 1 year in comparison to a team he's been with basically the majority of his career. Lets not forgot this is the same team that was once owned by the moronic Gilletts (the exact same time they started producing crappy equipment) and is now Richard Petty Motorsports. Hardly worth the "he hasn't done crap since he was with this team" argument. You try putting up wins with a team that constintly is in financial struggling and is producing crappy equipment. It was somehow easier with Red Bull since we all had the feeling 2011 was there final year and again, he pulled off several good performances in equipment that was not suppose to even finish that high. Only reason it hasn't gone well this year is because bad luck. Fast car & crappy luck doesn't equal no talent.

I don't really fault Reutimann for what happened. I'm sure he was under orders from his crew chief/owner to stay out when his car was limping along in the first place. If his c/c was telling him to come in and he stayed out, then that is a different story. Also, if he wouldn't have brought out the caution, there was no one close to being on the same lap as he was. So he would've still finished in the same position whether he came in early or stayed out. So I really fault the man on the box making the calls. I still can't understand his motive for staying out other than wanting to finish the race. I heard him say on air that his driver was trying to get to the pits, but couldn't get the car to turn in. But it can turn around the track?

Sad day for Hendrick as a team, but still another good day for Jr.
 
I like to see Jr. Do well, since he hasn't had much success in a while. And bad luck at the 600.

IIRC, they were approaching 210mph at Fontana. Then again, Michigan has higher banking. Wonder how those engines are going to hold up.

Probably not unless there's a rash of engine failures during the actual race. In other words, a reactionary rule rather than a proactive one.
 
Guy's I know this might sound crazy, but hear me out...everytime Harvick steps in to that #29 car I think his soul becomes partially possessed by Dale Earnhardt.

^ THIS

I should post in here my massive Dale Earnhardt and Dale Jr collection or at least pm it to ICEYOU. Why? Because as a massive fan I find his comment simple froth of the mouth.

In that case, he would start winning championships in the Sprint Cup, instead of dominating races in a series run by up and coming drivers.
