NASCAR (The Chase)
#101
Richmond tix are impossible to get unless a you know a friend of a friend, kinda like Bristol tix and Green Bay Packer tix. Not sure if my connection is even renewing his Richmond tix.
Hey Hey, Ward Burton is racing this weekend at Martinsville. That place is going to go nuts when he gets introduced(from South Boston, about an hour ride away) as the driver of the #4 Morgan-McClure team from Abington, VA(about an hour away the other direction.) Can't wait to hear that deep southern drawl that his brother doesn't have. Actually, nobody really gained anything on Burton Saturday night. He now has a 45 point gap to 2nd place. Kahne gained 25 points, but that is not enough. He needs to gain an average of 33 points over the next 5 races to win the title by 5 points. Burton and RCR run real well at Atlanta and at Phoniex. His only shot is at Texas and Homestead to gain, Martinsville is too much of a crapshoot with all the beating and banging. Very easy to get caught up in a dispute over real estate at Martinsville. I see Stewart, Gordon and Johnson being upfront at Martinsville most of the day. Martin will run his usual race there and prolly get a Top 5 out of it or even a win if he is close enough if Johnson and Stewart continue their battle royal there.

woohoo-Just checked my SnapOn Fantasy score-For the Chase I'm ranked 27th Place and this is out of a couple thousand Players.
With the competition being so tough I don't think I will go any Higher. My picks(Not the ones I showed on here for the last race) were Great and I would have been near the Top if Kenseth didn't have such a Horrible race but with SnapOn Once the Chase starts whoever you pick to win the first race continues to be your Race Leader for the rest of the Chase. Need HELP!!!!!! :P

Ward is a good guy that really deserves a ride, but I can't hardly understand him sometimes, he talks like he has marbles in his mouth..DW is racin this weekend in the Aaron's machine (Busch). I think that ole Kurt Busch is about due to steal one of these chase races. He got point deducted this week and the Crew chief fined for my guess is an equipment issue last week @ Charlotte.. He does run good @ the short tracks or it may be just the #2 history...

Hey Tiller, DW already drove the Dream Machine back in July. His career is completely over now. His wife told him no more one off race deals after that one. Only the Trucks accompany Cup at Martinsville for now. Place is too small to have all three there, it'd be like Bristol. Race the Trucks on Thursday so that Cup and Busch can get in there and do their thing Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Might happen in the near future though as ISC has control of the track instead of the Campbell family.
Wuud Burton is awesome. Love how he talks compared to his brother. Ever hear his spots on John Boy and Billy's Big Show? Those things are hilarious, he couldn't say Cat Skid Steer Loader. Had a Ward Burton Driving School spot where students learnt how to talk like Wuud Burton, then had him do a rap song.Roy McCauley was busted for having a shock at Charlotte that would not collapse. It was the right rear shock. That helps keep the back end of the car up for better rear downforce which would have been great considering how loose the track was for the race. It causes the rear spoiler to stay up in the airflow instead of dropping down out of it with a legal softer shock. By keeping the spoiler up in the air, it keeps the back end of the car better glued to the track so that it doesn't spin out from underneath you. It was obvious he had someone doctor the shock to keep it from collapsing which violates Nascar's rules.

I must have had a senior moment, I think I was replying to something on this forum when that commercial of ole DW almost cryin because Aaron's was givin him a chance to race one more time was on..It amazing how these guys are trying to round a sharp corner just to get any advantage over each other..They keep getting caught...Should be a pretty good race lots of left turns...Looking forward to Atlanta/Texas races, I think that the herd will definately thin out over the next three races. 2 maybe 3 contenders by then, Who do you think will be in the final 3??? Chime in!!!
I personally can't wait for Texas, got tickets, the campers ready, Will leave on Tuesday for the races over the weekend. If you don't leave that early you get no spot.... John Boy & Billy what a hoot these guys are. I particularly like "Oliver"

yeah-I was thinking of putting Jr. in there but I don't know if his team has quite gotten it yet.
Put Martin in there because it's his last shot and Jack in the Hat is doing everything in his power to get him there.
