**** him.

That's another reason that Colt firearms is now mfg. their AR-15's in Texas.

It is probably safe to say that Rupert Murdoch would never give them (without getting into it) the time of day.



There is a lot of history behind Texas Motor Speedway. It involves two of the most powerful billionaires' that rule NASCAR stock car racing - The France family (ISC) and Bruton Smith (SMI).

Someone mentioned Rockingham in his or her post not too long ago.

The lawsuit between France and Smith was over a promise to grant another date at Texas Motor Speedway - The federal lawsuit, which involves Rockingham, New Hampshire and Texas, had the potential of blowing up the foundations of France's empire.

Smith could not sue NASCAR, but one of the biggest shareholder’s of SMI stock could, and filed a lawsuit against NASCAR.

If you know anything about the bad relationship between France and Smith that spans over fifty years – Then, you know Smith was behind the (collusion) case.

I am not so sure - There are not a lot of cautions at this track.

I could be wrong. It should be interesting to see how the Gen car runs here.

Wait- Smith was gonna buy Talladega (Talladega!) just to give one of its race dates to ****ing Vegas?

Boogity

BTW, Bruton Smith is the Al Davis of NASCAR, IMO. Always with a lawsuit or some other shenanigans brewing.

Welp, I'll be pulling for Kenseth, but I have a feeling Kahne will be the car to beat.

chefsos: you have to read the story - It is very interesting.

France and Smith compete against each other. From what I remember, France tricked Smith into taking over a couple of these tracks with the promise of giving SCI tracks a second date. Smith's tracks are the best.

Bobby Labonte has stomach flu and may have to get out of the car. If I'm the relief driver, I want that seat checked for runny shit stains before I get in.

They wear Depends.

Remember when Tony Stewart had diarrhea during the race? They announced it during the race...And he won! LMAO

Clorox wipes should be his sponsor tonight!

A righteous case of the trots can overcome any barrier.

Kenseth is good at Texas.

Busch brothers are very good at this track - And JimiJo - he is good at every track... and Gordon...

Love that blue 43. And I was never a Petty fan.

Like it also. Cool to see the woods brothers 21 paint scheme also.

Yep. It's 1971 all over again!

LMAO

Logano and Keselowski caught cheating right before the race

Did they hold up the start of the race to get those cars into the field?

What were the infractions?

Danica's boyfriend slaps the wall - Oh boy, Stenhouse causing Childress grandson, Austin Dillon to slap the barrier

Penske Fords face potential penalties

Hey, mlyonsd.

I'm not sure. FOX announcers never said a word about it.


Edit: This is what I found out since I did not have time to read the article above.

They had to pull the rears - They just made it through and to the grid.

****ing Fords! What else is new?!

Looked to me like the cars on the grid sat there a long time running while they pushed the other cars out. Could be wrong.

oh okay....I am surprised nothing was said.

LOL

Yeah, "The Cat in the Hat" is really "The Crap in the Hat"!!!!!!!!!!

Penske.

Actually, the Fox guys were talking about it as the 22 was being pushed back out to the grid (he had to start at the rear because the car wasn't out of tech on time) and that both cars had to change rears after failing inspection. I think it had to do with the offset (you know, dog-tracking) being out of spec.

They should have their collar bones broken for that (and just driving a Ford - I mean kids are watching!!!!)!

And Carl keeps on dropping, excellent.




Sick of this bullshit. His crew chief sucks balls, I want Bob Osborne back.

Did they ever find someone willing to sit in Bobby Labonte's (literally) shitty car?

Jimmy is a good crew chief. Plus carl has the killer bees , Kenseths former pit guys. Best in the biz. I believe its more of a Ford thing. One ford running in the top ten.

Labonte pulled off the track and they are waiting for Mike Bliss to take over after they air out the car.

You're right, I just need something to bitch about.


**** you Ford cars. Fix Or Relair Daily

I like the changes needing to be made now that the track is cooling. A fun part of day-into-might racing...

Carl is going backwards

Carl dropped back because his seatbelt came unhooked at the restart lol.

Are you shitting me?

True story.


@bobpockrass: Carl said something got hooked on the release of his belts and popped them off prior to restart. #nascar

Kurt Busch out. He's an asshole, but it's still a shame when a competitive small team gets a bad break.

Actually to be fair if my seat belt came unhooked when doing 190mph in the middle of 40 other cars I'd scream like a girl and quite possibly shit my pants.

shame. Kurt was impressive in the #78 piece of junk.

Gordon, is fastest this lap - running second.

You and me both.



LET ME OUT OF THIS ****ING DEATH TRAP!!!!!!!!

Let's go Jeff!!! Like!

what happens first

88 wins or KC drafts first round qb

**** him Jeff, get him loose!

Guess ill root for Kahne since he's my A driver in fantasy.

hope Jr's car didn't blow up

Battery died

88 too fast off pit road lol

He's way down now, not sure it matters...

Jeff takes the lead

Like was said it is strange they had to do a manual switch :hmmm: too bad as he had a solid run going~

Junior's sweet sound system was drawing way too much amperage, I guess. Gonna have to look into that.

how did that happen?

Not sure really.


Weird because they have a switch for a backup battery and he didn't use it :-/


I'm probably missing something

Squirrels

@jeff_gluck: Why didn't Dale Jr. just switch to backup battery? Because gauges were going "haywire" and he just didn't think to try it, he said.

Sometimes, Junior gives the impression that he's an idiot.

Check this out:

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/natio...orealis/64202/

He's 4 laps done now lol.


He knew the problem right away too

That would be so cool to see. Unfortunately i'm not in the right zone!

I am. I went outside and didn't see anything. Maybe it's over, because the article said the prime viewing time was two hours ago.

Cool!!! Get pics, i'd love to see them!

it looks awesome

Pics!!!

I think you are more likely to see it you are in a high latitude, up north.

Ugh..... Used to see them when I was in the military (one advantage to being on a submarine!!), and they are beautiful...

Wow...Thanks for serving, GloryDayz.

You're very welcome, my pleasure....

If this thing turns into another damn fuel mileage run, I'm going to go find a car and shit in it. Labonte style.

this race might come down to fuel (no cautions).

They get about 50 laps on fuel. 68 laps to go. It is going to be tight

Who's winnin?

Too early. Martin Truex is leading. Kyle is running second. Then you have Jeff G. Matt K. Jimmie.

Any one of them could win

Hey, PGM!!!! :D

Who ya pulling for?

JC - Field filler Blaney almost messed up my boy's car coming down pit lane.

Mark Martin got on his brakes for no reason.

:spock:

Now that NAPA commercial was funny.
