Again, how many races has the souvenir king won in the last 5 years? Not counting fuel mileage races, you know, ones that he actually had to win on talent alone?
That's what I thought.It's cool though if you want to back a loser, it is a free country.

The fact is Jr was winning races at DEI when DEI had their **** together and were ahead of the curve. Mikey Waltrip was winning a few too, so what's that tell you about how far ahead of the other teams DEI was at the time.
Now Jr is in the best equipment and is running at his ability level......midpack
First it was the evil step mother giving him 2nd rate equipment, and now it's the crew chief as the reason he can't win.
I don't dislike Jr, I just get tired of the Jr Nation that thinks he is the greatest driver to strap into a race car.
Overheard on the scanner a few weeks ago:
Khane crew chief -- "Sorry Joonyer, wrong stall again."
Almirola crew chief -- "Sorry Joonyer, not here either."
Joonyer Cuz -- "Seven more, five, three, eight, eleventeen, thirtyseventy, two, four, TURN RIGHT JOONYER, TURN RIGHT, I MEAN LEFT, I MEAN LEFT...Dang it, that dum someb**ch missed us again."

yet he placed second at talladega, not bad for no skills, yes I'm pissed cause that tool in the 17 car wrecked my guy.
Oh, you mean when the 24 tried to go 4 wide and came down on the 17? That was funny, except for all the good drivers that he took out with his lack of driving skills.
Wow, second place. I suppose that is good for a souvenir king, but let's see how many wins the non driver gets as opposed to his teammates for the year. Heck, even the washed up 3 time retired old man won one.

Scott, I'm not a Junior fan at all but what did his spotter have to do with him only finishing 2nd? He would have finished 3rd or 4th had Edwards not turned himself around. Junior was going to push Newman away from the field, which he did with the old divide and conquer move, separate them from the field so he could make his move and Newman wouldn't have any help nor neither of them have to worry about the pack blowing by them. His little tiff with TJ over the radio that you heard was nothing, they hadn't restarted yet and TJ was over standing beside Newman's spotter and told him exactly what Junior wanted him to say, GO, just F-ing GO as hard as you can and let's decide it amongst ourselves. They had no idea Edwards and Keslowski would get such a huge push like they did. Even when the final wreck happened, Newman and Junior had their own push off of 4 and looked like Newman had a chance to win still. It would have been real close but they had a big run coming once Edwards and Keslowski started dicing around and breaking their momentum. The spotter had nothing to do with him only finishing 2nd, the spotter isn't driving the car.
29 Happy Harvick is the man!
So what did everyone think of the 'Dega race? Kinda boring after the lap 6 crash until the end. Sounds like the end was fun. I missed it when the power went out with 35 to go and had to kick the radio on to listen in. MRN had no idea how to call that wild finish, everyone was stepping on everyone trying to tell the listeners what was going on and this is who it sounded from Barney Hall:I was left going WTF just happened? Another MRN guy was right before Barney and was telling us how Junior and Newman had a huge run and just when Barney was supposed to take over the call all heck broke loose and you had the 2 guys in the tower making the call at the same time and the other guy down on the track still making the call, total chaos."Coming to the tri-oval, Keslowski goes high, Edwards blocks, Keslowski ducks low, there's contact, Edwards is flying through the air....................we think Keslowski might have won...........Edwards is out of his car and running across the finish line."
My thoughts, it should have been done years ago, build the fences taller at Daytona and 'Dega. There is no reason for the fence at 'Dega to only be 14 ft tall. Edwards car standing on it's nose was as high as the top of the fence, they got lucky that Newman only nerfed him in the left rear instead of hitting him square in the front end. Had that happened, it would have catapulted Edwards up and over the fence. NASCAR knows these cars can fly sky high, Rusty proved that twice within a year. His horrible tumble coming to the checkers at 'Dega back in like 1993 where he broke his hand, he got at least 20 ft high at one point. Did the same thing on the backstretch in the 500, tumbled 11 times and at one point was again at least 20 ft high. Sadler's rough looking flip in the #38 back in what, 2005? He would have cleared the catch fence with ease. Or Tony Stewart's flip in the 2001 500, he got high enough in the air that half the pack raced by underneath of him before landing on his teammate's roof. Bobby Labonte was running 35th at the time.
I do not think they need to change the plates to a smaller size or the tracks itself at all, just build the fences higher. While they are at it, they should look at removing the yellow line rule on the last lap only from Turn 4 to the Checkers. It used to be that way in the Truck Series at Daytona and they didn't have any bad crashes coming to the line. While on TWIN, Waltrip said the crash wasn't because of the yellow line rule, total NASCAR blowhard. Keslowski said it himself, the yellow line rule made that deal happen. Had it not been for that rule, he would have gone to the apron to not wreck Edwards while also drawing up alongside of him the rest of the way.
are we done now part time d ousche and syncroloser ?
