Auto Club Speedway Cup Qualifying results From NASCAR.com:

Oh no! More problems for D.W. "Pretty Baby" starting 40th. Now let's see, the statement from Daytona was she got the pole because ALL three Stewart-Haas cars were fast. Let's see here: Tony 8th, Ryan 20th. Ms. Patrick 40th. Surprise, surprise, as Gomer Pyle would say, Timmy Hill, a rookie in an unsponsored car starts 39th. Not trying to start something here, just pointing out the obvious.

You know Pkl, I thought one of the best crew chief / driver combinations ever, ever in Cup racing was Frankie Stoddard and Jeff Burton at Roush. Then, something happened and it all blew up. Seems to me Jeff has never been so successful since as he was when teamed with Stoddard.

At least NASCAR continues to accept Timmy's entries. Remember this post I made a year ago?

I shall make a very strong effort to be more specific in my comments in the future to save the all-knowing PKL time in correcting my inaccuracies. Timmy Hill is, by comparision to Bikini Babe, unsponsored, although he does have the sponsorship mentioned in PKL's post. As for D.W.'s words of wisdom, maybe this week he was reading MY posts and comments.

Might be fun if we could get former Busch Series champ, Steve Grissom (who turned down a scholarship to play quarterback at University of Alabama) to come out of retirement and bring his old sponsor from the #31 car.

I bet GoDaddy would have a hard time keeping up with Big Mama!

By the way, I once saw Steve's Dad get mad at a desk clerk when he was trying to check the race team out of a Florence, SC motel on Darlington race day morning. Didn't know one man by himself could rip a check-out counter out of the floor! He could and did!

Believe me, I meant no insult whatsoever to the Timmy Hill effort. I met the guy when he was running ARCA and immediately liked him. He and I have talked, we chat on FB, and I believe he is a fine young man. I think Frankie Stoddard is also as good as they come. Therein, in my problem with Danica. She doesn't not impress me as a driver in spite of what she did at Daytona. I acknowledge that she is a marketing dream posing in those bikinis which are little more than thongs. Because of what her hindquarters look like when exposed, which is often, and her bosoms also flaunting as much as is legally allowable, she can get a big sponsorship to boost NASCAR ratings. Good for her, good for NASCAR and good for Tony Stewart. But it just bothers me that drivers much more talented than is she are fighting for sponsorship when all than money is wasted on bikini bottoms. Isn't that where Sponge Bob lives? I think so.

To whomever I may have offended (not intentionally) with my posts in this Forum, please accept my apology. There will be no futher incidents of such gross inconsideration. This apology is not the result of any comment contained in this Forum, but the result of consideration of a personal e-mail from someone I deeply respect. This is a great site for race fans and I would certainly do NOTHING to bring adverse opinions of reactions to this site. I do apologize for my statements and while I could delete them, I will not, for the comments from others would be out of context.

Thank you,

Tim

I don't see one single incidence of gross inconsideration. I will say publicly that I sent Legend a note, but I have never seen him be inconsiderate and have told him that in a separate note. I don't know of anything for which you need to apologize, Tim.
