He's doing a great job this year. Doubt he'll win the chase but he's giving it one hell of a try.

Wonder if Penske is having second thoughts about switching to Ford next year?

Git to hand it to his crew chief. He hasn't been the fastest car but the crew chiefs decisions have made him be able to run hard to the last lap.Johnson was definitely the fastest lately.

Has nothing to do with Ford power, it's all about chassis setup and adjustment, seems like Penske has it and Roush doesn't.

Well then, maybe Roger will take Jack under his wing and show him how it's done.

If BK stays consistent and rolls off a couple more wins it will be impossible to beat him.

The problem with Jack is his ego, he thinks he knows everything and either won't hire the best guys or he won't let them properly prepare a car. Need more of this $$$$$$$

The 17 loosing a shock one race and then the track bar falling off in another is inexcusable.


I admire Jacks wealth of knowledge but he does not know how to put together and keep together the best people.

I will be rooting for team Penske next year.


Sorry Carl

Go Brad

At least Kenseth will get to see what a real racecar can do next year, even if it is from the 'Dark Side'.

Is that the same Kenseth who won Daytona in a Ford?

The Japanese just about ruined Indycar so lets look at what they are doing to NASCAR.

They seem to have the "Fastest" cars in most events.

NASCAR newbie owner MWR has two cars in the chase because he is.
1. The most brilliant team owner in NASCAR .
2. Because Toyota dumps insane amounts of cash into NASCAR to show the American manufacturers how superior they are in motorsports. They sure seem to be doing that now.

Most anyone can win at a plate track. It usually comes down to luck.

Isn't that what racing's about - whatever it takes to win?

You really think Toyota is bad for NASCAR, especially with Dodge pulling out? What happens if one of the other makes decides to withdraw support? Or even Toyota?

It would be kinda boring to just have only two brands with a shot at winning every week.

I say let any manufacturer in who can meet the rules and run competitively.
