The old man is showing these kids how it's done!

If he had been in a Chevy during the 90's, he could have become a champion.  He's just tearing up the series in a Chevy this year.  Tied with Cryle for the most wins this year, right?

You right about if Mark would have been in a Chevrolet back in the early 90's, he would have been a champrion.

Yes, both Mark and Kyle have three wins this year so far.

What are the best and worst tracks on the Sprint Cup circuit?

No surprise here!

It took me awhile, but I finally got the points lead.  Watch me choke it away. 

I hate these soggy finishes.  We have had too many this year.  And I think the racing was pretty good at Loudon this time around.

On to Daytona, as TNT goes full throttle. 

[Drew]

I'm looking forward to this weekend's racing at Daytona. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that the weather will pretty thru the weekend. 

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Fuck yeah.

 

[Drew]

Fuck yeah.

 

Yes sir! You got that right Garry! A great finish with Tony Stewart winning the race!

Unlike the Nationwide race where Busch couldn't get to Stewart, Stewart got him!  Tony Stewart didn't do anything wrong.

When I saw Cryle turn his wheel to the right, I knew he was going to be in big trouble!    Was I wrong to yell out, "YES!" many times after that?

That boy took some nasty hits.  If he wasn't so stupid, all those cars wouldn't have been torn up.

Dale sucks.

Dale sucks.

Cryle has such poor sportsmanship as well. When he wins, he's on top of the world and all is right and when he loses, he has a 'everyone can go to hell' attitude. I know he's a competitor but the guy is a total prick. He screwed up and made a big mistake that crashed a lot of cars. Tony Stewart did everything right and I'm happy that he stuck his ground and didn't let Cryle push him around.

I was happy to see the officials have their way with Cryle!  Not only did they silence him, but it's a good precaution.  I don't want him to die like Liam Neeson's wife.  And his first hit was not against the SAFER barrier. 

Jimmie Johnson might be the most successful driver, but Tony is the bossman.  He has really filled Dale Sr's shoes nicely.

We need a Tour de France thread.

Yes, Tony Stewart has stepped in a filled Dale Earnhardt's shoes pretty well. Cryle just acts like a baby when he doesn't finish where he thinks he should finish and wants to storm off and go pout about it. I just despise his two different attitudes to win he wins and doesn't win.

The first two days of Le Tour de France has been fantastic! I think it's going to be another great race this year indeed!

My fantasy picks have just sucked ass lately.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Three of my four drivers were involved in accidents.

On to Chicago.  It will be boring, but so was Daytona until the last 4 laps.

Martin Truex Jr. will make move to Michael Waltrip Racing for 2010 season

Waltrip to drive part-time schedule, including Daytona 500

It's a shame what has become of DEI Inc. 

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Not even a shell of its former self.

[Drew]

Not even a shell of its former self.

No it isn't. 

I would not be surprised if DEI/CGR shut it's doors the way this economy is struggling. The only name they have with any recognition now is Montoya and with him, they're pretty much like the average IRL team and that's not something positive. Unless they can land a driver who can attract some really good sponsors, it's going to be even harder now to carry on as a team and company.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Yeah, Truex wasn't pulling in big time many either.  They had a different paint job each week.

This is what happens when non-racing people run racing businesses.  Mrs. Earnhardt, Max Seigel, I'm looking at you guys.

Well said. The sponsorship troubles has been with the team most of the season. Truex Jr. did what was best for him. I think he knows what is going to eventually happen at EGR. Teresa Earnhardt was the marketing genius behind the late Dale Earnhardt but I just don't think she has what it takes to run a successful Cup team.

I betcha Junior wouldn't even buy the operation now.  Even at a bargain basement price.  Damaged goods are no good.

Dale Jr. has bigger problems right now like winning races or at least finishing races. These races where he finishes 15th or worse every race just isn't going to cut it. The last thing he would even need to think about would be running his own team.
