If I was a betting man, I’d put my money on Carl Edwards for the big win in Darlington this weekend. With 6 top 10’s, 5 top 5’s and 3 wins… he’s ready for his next. Carl recently resigned with car owner Rousch Fenway and you can bet he and his crew are pumped for the track in Darlington. As I’m writing this post, he’s currently sitting 24th fastest in practice. My guess is that he’s laying low for the big race come Sunday or atleast hoping this is what he’s doing. I’m not trying to put myself out there for him to make me look bad and coming in 20th place. I also noted in the header Denny Hamlin, you just can’t count this kid out. (he’s my back up)
Darlington is back on the schedule and most drivers are excited. I was in the pits the last few days and spoke with some of the big names like Gordon (wine drinker), Earnhardt Jr, Stewart, and Hamlin. They all tell me the same thing… each are telling me how they’re going to snag the win on this 1.366 mile track. Junior seemed a bit distracted with all the controversy in the air about Kyle Busch being compared to his father senior. He and anyone that knew Earnhardt Sr knows that Busch is absolutely nothing like him. I guess it’s just this big rivalry the press is putting together. I’ll be interested to see how this pans out.
I’m not asking who would win on a heads up race between Earnhardt Jr and Busch, the question I’m asking is who you think would win in a fist fight!!!! My thoughts? Dale Jr would own Kyle off the track securing the Belt (like wrestling). Kyle just looks like a twerp to me. Your thoughts?

Kyle Busch had a great finish this weekend in both the Sprint and Nationwide Cup! He was able to secure a 2nd place in the Crown Royal 400 and a 3rd place in the Lipton 250 on Friday night. It’s too bad the young gun with all his great finishes is making more enemies than friends. I’ve come up with a simple theory of why this is the case after doing hours of research… Kyle Busch and his fetish of kissing bumpers!
Just remember you heard this first from Ron Ripple! I didn’t just pull this out of the air and after doing hours of research I was able to secure a few pieces of evidence and it just so happens two of the articles of evidence was from THIS weekend’s races. Without further adeui… here is Kyle Busch and Jr interviews after the act of Kissing Bumpers. When I say kissing, I hope at this point you understand that I mean wrecking.
The kiss Kyle Busch gave during the Lipton 250 race was even better! He and Steven Wallace battle it out on and off the race track. Here’s yet another reason why the fans and fellow racers dislike Kyle Busch.
Are you a fan of Kyle Busch? There’s no doubt he’s a great racer but what do you think of Kyle off the track?
What a race! It was the story of bad luck for many that lead Clint Boyer to a HUGE win in Richmond Virginia on Saturday night under the lights. It was the Crown Royal 400 and all about Denny Hamlin who not only won Friday night’s Nationwide Cup Race also lead 381 of the first 382 laps on Saturday night’s Sprint Cup race. He was simply dominating, the battle for second place kept Dale Earnhardt Jr and Kyle Busch occupied so that Denny would not be challenged. This is where the story of bad luck snuck into the right front tire of Hamlin causing it to go down costing him the lead and the Win. It was unfortunate, he drove flawless and the team made incredible decisions on and off the track.
Last week I put my money on Earnhardt Jr as he hasn’t had a win in 71 races and the man had been driving strong all season. After Hamlin slowly drifted back the race for first became a battle between Kyle Busch and the current leader Dale Earnhardt Jr. For the first time in the race I was jacked up to see Jr in the lead and won’t lie when I say I had the “I told the reader’s this would happen!” mentality. The attitude I had was quickly taken away when not even a lap and a half after leading the race Kyle Busch and Jr got together forcing Earnhardt into the wall and all his hopes and dreams stolen. Bad luck and Kyle Busch hit Jr soo hard he finished 15th. Oh and that’s where Clint Boyer was able to slide into first and hold position to take the win. (not much to say about the win)
This brings us to the questionable wreck on who is at fault… before I give my two cents I would like to hear from ya’ll. It was quite obvious how the #88 fans felt… serious boo’ing and one of Jr’s crew ended up running over to Kyle Busch after the race giving them some sh!t.
It’s been a while since I tooted good ol’ Dale Earnhardt Jr’s horn and it’s more than likely because the man hasn’t secured one win this season. Now’s a better time than ever! Toot TOOt! I guess what impress’s me the most is the fact he started the year with a brand new team, a new number/sponsor and he’s in the top 3 overall in points. He’s consistently in the top 10 with 7 top 10’s and 3 top 5’s. He’s been out of the drama lately so we haven’t heard much. I see him around the pits and he’s been begging me to interview him so he gets a little more talk on my site but I just haven’t had the time!
Check out the superbowl commercial AMP Energy drink created. It just shows the true passion, strength and determination Jr displays not only in a desert but also on the track.
I wish him the best of luck in the upcoming races, he’s always impressive and the man NEEDS a win. Maybe if he gets that win I’ll take some time out of my busy beer drinking, nascar talking day and interview him like he asks.
Tony Stewart who you all know is one of my favorite drivers, is the topic of discussion throughout the NASCAR community. The rumor on the street is that he’s been getting multiple offers from a number of different race teams even though his contract doesn’t come up with Joe Gibbs Racing until the end of the 2009 season. Tony Stewart said that he is going to be completely honest and up front with Joe Gibbs and has already admitted to keeping his ears open. The biggest story that has been going around the pits is he’s decided already to sign with Haas CNC racing which is a second class racing team.
J.D. Gibbs says they aren’t worried about the possible offers and has denied the claims. They think Tony Stewart will make the right decision and stay with a team he will win with, and they’re confident they are THAT team. One thing they have mentioned is if Tony decides he doesn’t plan on staying with the Gibbs team, he better at least fulfill his contract and stay till the end of the 2009 year.
Tony Stewart on the other hand has other interests… his goal is to not only be a driver but also a team owner. He wants to guarantee a life long career in the racing world, and the next peice to the puzzle is to own a team. So rumors on the street are he’s already signed with Haas CRC racing, but not only as a driver but also part owner in the team.
To me it sounds like Tony Stewart has made his decision… I think he’s going to fulfill his contract because he’s a stand up guy and Joe Gibbs has been an incredible team owner for him. I personally think he should keep racing for Joe Gibbs… but I understand why he wants to secure his life long career in the NASCAR world. If it aint broke than don’t fix it… he will be racing for a second class team. And second class teams are second class teams with second class equipment. He’s not going to find a more professional, more prepared team than Joe Gibbs and right now Joe Gibbs is THE TEAM to beat.
Another reason why I think Tony made the swith is because I think he’s a Chevy guy. Tony switched to the Toyota this year when the Gibbs team decided it was going to be the car they all ran this year. His Nationwide Series team is currently still running the Chevy and I think he’s always been a Chevy guy and feels comfortable in a Chevy. Tony Stewart and Toyota go together like beer and popsicles. They just dont!
It’s going to be a sad day when he makes the switch… but who knows… maybe he’ll turn a second class team into a first class team. I hope this isn’t the last we see of Tony and I hope he doesn’t become a has been who lost his aggressive, opinionated, drama filled always a contender to be reckoned with attitude. 10 years and racing for the same owner with over 34 wins is a great accomplishment, let’s just hope he keeps us all on the edge of our seats.
What do you think… is he going to continue racing for Joe Gibbs? Is he going to fulfill his contract or will he pull out early?
I know I give Jeff Gordon and all of his fan’s a hard time about how he’s a non beer drinker and might legally be classified as a midget, but I’m only playing and have a lot of respect for the man. He’s not only a great racer, but the man is a PIMP!!! Check out his incredible wife Ingrid Vandebosch.
Ingrid was a former Belgian model/actress when she met the little guy Jeff Gordon. It’s my understanding that they met at a party in 2003 where Ingrid and Jeff each played a role in the movie “Taxi”. They dated for about 2.5 years before Jeff stepped up and dug (not too deep) into his pockets for some cash to purchase a 5.6 carat diamond ring. Rumors went around that Jeff didn’t have to get on one knee he was so short and she of course said YES! They’ve been married now for some time and are expecting their first child. I give Jeff Gordon two thumbs up for marrying one of the most beautiful girls I’ve ever laid eyes on. I always enjoy seeing her in the pits and he better watch out as I may come in and sweep her off her feet while he’s out there on the race course!
These are the type of events that I get excited for. NASCAR is going to introduce a new competition on May 17th where five allstars attempt to do two doughnuts and then enter into Victory lane. The fastest time gets $10,000 and is the official BURNOUT KING. NASCAR in itself is a very exciting sport but when you ad little things like this… it just makes my ears tingle. Stuff like this will only make NASCAR victories more fun to watch because you know it’s going to be a show at the end.
The funniest part about this whole new addition is when they asked Clint Boyer to test out the idea in front of the staff and media, let’s just say he didn’t do it flawlessly. They let Boyer demonstrate the burnouts with a Richard Petty Driving Experience car and after the first two successful burnouts he then attempted to drive the car back into pit row and he kissed the wall. Haha… Clint Boyer kissed the wall driving the borrowed car back into pit row.
Here’s Clint’s response, “It was Practice man. That’s what you’re here for - to see what to do and what not to do”
Let’s just hope this was a lesson on “what not to do.”
After I heard about this new competition I wanted to see how tough it would be to complete two doughnuts and then slide it into my driveway. I ended up doing about a dougnut and a half before I almost flipped my car… then I decided it may not be such a good idea trying to slide it into my driveway. I never claimed to be the sharpest tool in the shed but I’m obviously not the dullest tool in the shed either. Here’s a picture of my attempt… and YES my neighbors think i’m crazy.
Alright… I made a little mistake on my last post and named off all these great names that “I said” were going to be racing down in Mexico City. The truth is… hardly anybody will be racing down there in Mexico City and I’m curious as to why. The big name road racers such as Tony Stewart and Jeff Gordon both snubbed the Mexico City race this weekend. The only big names that will be down there racing are Kyle Busch, David Reutimann, Carl Edwards, Clint Boyer and then Scott Pruett who is one of the best road racers that have ever existed.
There are g0ing to be a lot of local favorites from Mexico that will be racing, one of them being Adrian Fernandez who has had three top 10 finishes in the last three Nationwide races he’s raced in down there in Mexico City. Adrian Fernandez is a local racer and very popular with the local Mexicans who will be hoping for a home town favorite to win the big race. He not only has a competitive advantage by knowing the race course but he also has an advantage because it’s his birthday on Sunday and I know there are a lot of generous racers out there. Haha… I highly doubt anyone’s going to help him out though!
Another great racer who is making a guest appearance is Sam Hornish Jr. who was the winner of the 2006 Indy 500. Sam doesn’t have much experience if any at all in a stock car but he defintiely knows road courses and is hands down a great driver. I don’t think he has a chance at winning this race but I have a feeling he’ll end up somewhere in the top 15.
I personally think it’s going to be an exciting race to watch. Road races are a lot of fun especially when you have someone to route for. I’m going to be pulling for Kyle Busch or Carl Edwards because they’re regulars and I highly doubt any of these randoms are going to do anything extraordinary. I wish everyone luck and will be drinking a beer on turn 3 of the race course.
We’re headed to Mexico City for another big track race. My predictions this race are going to have to go with Kyle Busch and of course Tony Stewart. Tony Stewart always does well on road courses and well… you can never count Kyle Busch out of anything.
I do have a feeling some of the Formula 1 guys are going to shine this race and actually be in the hunt for some big time points. You’ve got Franchitti, Montoya, Nemecheck, and Andretti who will all be trying to show off their skills. Montoya currently has the track record so he’s going to be a force to be reckoned with. They also have a better chance of speaking the native language which may give them an up when it comes to set up.
As usual I’m sticking with my good ol american boys who will hopefully show these europeans what real stock car racing is. Mexico City is going to be one hell of a place to throw back some cervezas. I’m not going to give into the tempting commercials which show Corona’s on a deserted beach… I’m going to stick to my drink of choice which is an ice cold budweiser. So if you’re going to be at that race make sure you look for me on the in-feild.
Weather conditions right now are partly sunny, 77 degrees, with a chance of championship victories. Let me know what you think!!!!
Congrats to Jimmie Johnson and the Hendrick Motorsports in their much needed win on Saturday night. It came down to balls and gas, and well…. Jimmie had the biggest balls and more gas than the remaining losers of the night! I’m sure I’ll get a thank you card from Jimmie in the mail this week as I believe the reason he won is because a) I didn’t jinx them with my typical “Jimmie Johnson/Hendricks Can’t Win” rants… and b) I did a beautiful post about his GORGEOUS wife Chandra Johnson!
The race in my opinion was great! I thought for a while that the story of the day was going to be all about Dale Earnhardt and his former #8 car Mark Martin. Those two were battling for first for theee longest time. But I must say overall this was one helluva race, the track conditions continued to change between sun up and sun down. Cars were too tight, too loose, too damn tough to control and pit strategies were key! I loved it. I was up till the end and can’t believe I was able to stay awake as I must have downed a case of beers in one sitting. What were your favorite moments? Do you think Chandra did anything different on race morning to give her husband the edge?
