I couldn't believe how pathetically slow the RCR cars were...I picked Bowyer to win and he was nowhere after about 3 laps with Kevin doing worse while Jeff and Paul weren't even in it, lol
The only way Burton and Menard would have made it to the All-Star race (other than finishing 1-2) would have been to hope for Junior to get raptured (and become ineligible for the Sprint Junior Fan Vote).
That was a dull race, though. For all the hype (crashes! angy drivers! more crashes!), there was next to nothing. Hopefully the Coke 600 will be more exciting.
Why the hell would Lexus give Kyle Busch an LF-A?
Other than the fact that he races for Toyota you mean?Why the hell would Lexus give Kyle Busch an LF-A?
Good point. :lol:Other than the fact that he races for Toyota you mean?
Trevor Bayne's been replaced by Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in the Wood Bros. car this weekend, slightly bummed. http://twitter.com/#!/Tbayne21/status/73587863777845249
Isn't he still recovering from that odd illness a couple of weeks ago?
from a Team Chevy driver press conference transcript, #27-Paul Menard discussed his injured foot at Charlotte Motor Speedway:
ON HURTING HIS RIGHT FOOT THIS PAST WEEK
"I stepped on a piece of metal on my boat ramp (right foot) and sliced it open."
DO YOU HAVE STITCHES?
"Yeah, there are 20 stitches."
WILL YOU HAVE TO USE ANY SPECIAL PADDING OR ANYTHING FOR SUNDAY'S RACE?
"Yeah, there's a carbon insert in my foot that we kind of cut around. The wound is on the outside of the foot. It's on the bottom but toward the outside behind my pinky toe. They cut out a piece of carbon for the other side to make it stiffer. And it's fine. There's no pain or anything, it's just that the doctors are worried about it ripping open and then if it rips the stitches, then it's a big deal with infection and stuff. Right now, what's throwing me off the most right now is that my shoes are too big. I had to get bigger shoes for my right foot. Well, they both are. It's hitting the gas pedal wrong. So I'm going to have to find some different shoes and I'll be okay."
IT'S THE RIGHT FOOT?
"Yes."
YOU CAN STILL WEAR THE REGULAR LEFT FOOT SHOE
"Yeah, and I look goofy."
DO YOU HAVE TO WATCH HOW MUCH PAIN KILLER MEDICATION YOU'RE TAKING TOO?
"There is no pain. I'm not even taking pain killers. I've just got my antibiotics. They're just worried about infection."
HOW DID YOU DO IT AGAIN?
"I stepped on a piece of metal on my dock."
WHERE DID IT COME FROM?
"The dock slopes and there's a walkway so it's on rollers so as it goes up and down it moves with the dock, and I stepped on a steel roller."
DID YOU GO TO THE DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY OR DID YOU THINK IT WASN'T THAT BAD?
"Well, I walked up to the house and got in the shower and it (blood) was gushing out pretty good so we had to go to ER."(Team Chevy)(5-27-2011)
Kimi's performance in the Top Gear 300:
Well that did not go well.
He was hanging around position 20 for most of the race and got lapped just before a pit stop.
He got caught speeding while exiting the pits and had to serve a drive through penalty.
Then shortly after that he hit a large piece of debris on the track (the front splitter off of car #51) and he had to come in again to get that removed since it got stuck to the front of his car. :?
In the end he finished 27th, 4 laps down.
And it was a pretty boring race as Nascar races go.
What did he say when it happened? I heard "we apologize for his language", but we were all too busy laughing to hear what he actually said.At least I got the pleasure of watching the 48 blow up. It brought a tear to my eye.
