Everyone still hate Kyle Busch?

He did one heck of a lot of great driving tonight in the Bud shoot out.

Nascar talk 2012

Well that only cost Jack about $60,000.00 to $80,000.00 for the engine plus whatever that team might have won, but they were experimenting in a non points race. My brother told me that when I first started going to the races with Jack in 1990 that I said they needed around four to five milloin dollars from a primary sponsor for a top team and that sponsors were running down good teams wanting to sponsor them. Now I read that a top team has to have twenty to twenty five million to run the same teams, that why you see the very top teams having as many as three different sponsors to get through a season.

Cool thing #1: Last regular season race and busch chokes and doesn't make the chase. Gordon hung on and raced his way into a wildcard spot along w/Kahne.

Anyone want to bet on what lap pile will be put into the fence?
Well, it was the LAST lap, w/him getting passed for the lead- and the BEST part was, he put himself into the wall!! Beautiful ending IMO. Of course he left w/o an interview.

Cool thing #2: Something I've noticed is that during and after the race yesterday, busch wasn't mentioned hardly at all. In fact, other than calling out the starting grid, I don't recall hearing his name. Seems like the networks have countered his "screw you, I'm going home" attitude when he refuses to give a statement/interview when he does poorly (which is much of the time, it seems), by simply shunning him. Brilliant IMO- you don't want to talk to us? Fine, we don't need to promote you or your sponsors. And you can bet that ain't gonna fly w/the coach or w/the sponsors!

Nascar 2012

I forgot this thread existed and I used to post on one after each NHRA event and I think I predicted that Mike Neff would be the funny car champion and someone else that posted regularly picked Ron Capps I think and it looks like it might be between them
Back to Nascar, Bush is not driving so aggressively and not wrecking cars or dominating races so he is not going to get so much press. I think he would be right in the middle of the chase if he had not blown so many engines and fell out of so many races, I am not defending him but he will be back next year I think. I sure hope Jimmy Johnson doesn't get hot and run away with the chase like Stewart did last year. I hope it goes down to Homestead with about four teams that could win the championship. I would like to see the Michael Waltrip cars be in contention especially Clint Bower, he was out of a ride last fall when Richard Childress could not get a sponser for him.
Lets keep this thing going after each thread and maybe some Junior fans will pickup on it and we can have some lively debates.

Going to heart Doctor tommorrow, kinda nervous becaused I have come so far and worked so hard and I don't want to lose two years of work.

Good to see you posting, Garrell. Good luck w/the doctor!


The first chase race done. Sure looked like JJ was gonna run away w/it, but that's why they run ALL the laps! The chasers were all up front, mostly. Too bad for Gordon after barely making the chase he wrecks out because of a stuck throttle(?).
