Hmmmm anybody that pulls for the 18 has got to be on drugs. Ahahahaha!
***To those that may take this seriously. This is just a joke***
pokrplr and I pick at each other since our drivers are rivals.
LMAO! Afffllllaaaaaaaaac. Was wondering where u went Beachy?
Nice 1/2 finish by the rivals last weekend, eh? Too bad i was the #2. Still got a huge lead - it should hold up
I'm still around just not posting as much. Too many pissy people over there nowadays. lol
Yeah it was about time we got to see a backflip! Before he did it I was concerned he may be a little rusty and forget how to do one. lol KB has a decent lead but it can be caught if the cards fall correctly.

The one thing that i can't stand about NASCAR is the 43 car field. It's not that i mind 43 cars but seems since I've been a fan, I see the same thing week in and week out. You have a select few; Blaney, Nemechek, Gilliland, Bliss & Skinner that run a few laps, garage it & collect a decent size check. Why do these same guys do it? Why does NASCAR allow them to do so? I've seen these guys run as few as 2 laps and hit the garage! Vibration in the car, transmission, brakes?? There's other teams that can get the car back out there, why can't these same guys? Its always the same reasons and yet they never attempt to fix it, there gone for the day.
Has racing always been like this? Has there always been teams/drivers that NEVER finish a race? If this is the case every single week, I would love to see a 35 car field. Let these go or go homers just stay @ home! I think its bad for racing...
Thoughts?
Things are a changing my friend. It was reported yesterday that there are only 43 TOTAL entries for the Pocono race Sunday. So all cars will make the field.
Dale Jarrett sees the day when NASCAR will have to bite the bullet and lower the number of cars in the field like you said.
It would have looked very bad for NASCAR if only 40 cars had showed up for Pocono.
On Darlington's Facebook they have announced lower ticket prices for some of the seats for next May's race. Still not sure if we are going to renew ours. If we don't it will be the first time in 16 yrs we haven't gone.

Trust me, you dont pass up the opportunity to go to Darlington. Darlington to me represents the old, tried and true, blue-collar NASCAR. That track has serious history.

They get paid just for showing up and starting. And at the top level of NASCAR they get paid pretty good.
I agree with the smaller field. As a matter of fact, I'd like to see the asphalt removed, replaced with clay and the tracks shortened to no more than .625 of a mile.
