Thumbs down Nascar prediction

This week nascar will make a rule change to make the chevys more competitive. If fords dont run well they do nothing.If chevys dont, they change the rules. Just my thoughts.

Just got back home from "The Rock".Great race!Out of 10 Fords-8 in the top 12.I felt bad for Jr. and his bowtie.I think he started about 5 cautions.

I didn't feel bad for him, That's what happens when you focus too hard on just one type of race (restrictor plate).

Nascar prediction

I'm sure it came down to money with Rusty, Dodge 'bought' a lot of good drivers, look at Bill Elliot, he drove Ford's for years. When it comes down to it Chevy owns Nascar. I guess if Ford could get some better drivers or keep the good one's they had (Earnhardt, Gordon, and the list goes on) they'd be in a better position. Rusty's just an old washup now anyway. Ford don't need him he ain't won squat in a few years. I wish my guy Gordon was in a Ford, then people wouldn't make fun of me for having his and both Earnhardt's numbers on my truck

Nascar prediction

I had to laugh at earnhardts comments after the race, track is so old cant race on it wah wah, just like his paw did.Funny how when you have to DRIVE he struggles.All we have been hearing -dei, rcr,where did they finish? Even paint-can got lapped.I am disapointed newman is in a dodge, he was my favorite last year.
I think chevy does influence nascar, thats how bowtie bill france got his name.But it is weeks like this that i can gloat some.
I never could understand how someone driving a FORD could put
#24 or #8 or #3 forever on their truck or car, but i have extreme views about chevys, and i am loyal to my FORDS, just puzzles me.
I still have my Bill Elliot shirt from years ago-Fastest Lap 212 MPH.
I have been Ford before Ford was cool in WC.Just my little take on things.

Rusty's been my man from the start, but I have always had backup drivers. Back when Rusty was blowing engines every other race, I could either turn off the TV or root for someone else. Figured I could stay on the couch longer if I went with the latter!

I do a lot of Gordon-bashing just for fun, but I'm not so narrow-minded that I hate everyone who cheers him on. To each his own. Personally I would love to see Mark Martin win his championship this year!

Ok just checked nascars web site, there is actually an audio transcript on track pass-" listen to junior and his crew talk strategy"? On how to cause another caution flag?On how to spin people out?What a laugh!I am getting sick of the racing media force-feeding us dei and such! Just another rant of mine.

Rusty's(and Penske's) contract with Ford was up, so Dod@e threw them a bucket full of money and they jumped at it.
Don't blame Rusty. He can run Jr. into the ground anyday and with anything he drives.
