Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!!

Quote from Spydertrader:

you got'ta like the way HOF Racing has played the rules to their advantage.

Being a new team, they really had no choice but to get Terry to drive the first 5 races. I'm curious to see how long Raines lasts.

That's nothing... I throw that much away after FOMC meetings! :D

What I find so dubious about this whole situation stems from the fact that NASCAR instructed Gordon to park his Chevy "right behind the #17." When does a 21st place car ever have to line up on pit row to go through inspection? Gordon was on his way to his hauler (like every other driver not finishing in the top ten), when NASCAR directed the #24 to pit road. Are we to assume NASCAR had no idea legions of cameramen would be also there to record the confrontation? As fans, we spend the entire race listening to announcers, officials and former drivers explain how tempers often flare during this race. It is Bristol after all, and short tracks mean short tempers. What in the world did NASCAR think was going to happen parking these two drivers so close to each other? Ridiculous. NASCAR stacked the dynamite and then lit the fuse.

Interesting. I thought the guy who got between them was pretty cool. He didn't overreact, just got between them and stayed there. Kind of like he was a former pit trader.

Kurt Busch might do well to avoid the #49 car at Martinsville.

I predict Kurt pulls a Jeff Gordon by leaving his helmet on while chatting with Mr. Spencer this time.
 
Quote from AudiQuattro:

Indy 500 sounds good, but only with cold beer. I find right hand turns much more exciting and, thus, shun all formal and organized racing events.

They need to bring back excitement to the race.... Maybe make it a figure eight... heh

What's the long standing nickname that Harvick gave him?

Rubber Head? I was ROFL'n that day...lol.

I love how both Spence and Happy rip on that ass. Rusty (knowing his personality) must be tore up over Kurt Douche running the #2.
