And if this dont shake up the list I dont know what will. True this will truly fill the stands in Phoenix and Homestead nothing will.
It will be interesting to see what the Nascar bunch says of this.
Now I will let you wonder and some may go hunt this buyers name up but it was a buy for a purpose and it has a tie in to early Nascar.
In 1957 a special series of Fords were built to go after the Nascar Crown.
Ever hear of a "F" code 57 Ford Fairlane? Well there were 312 cubic inches and had 360 plus horsepower but the real deal was the Supercharger on top of the motor. It didnt take long for Nascar to ban it along with the Chevy Fuel injection.
But the real reason for this short writing was the beginning of this certain car.
It was ordered in mid year in 1957 , FROM A FORD DEALER IN WHITEVILLE N.C. Now the story gets interesting real quick because it was ordered in a 4 door Fairlane 500.
The dealership demanded full payment up front for such an oreder which included a 3 speed on the column and yes the "F" series motor with the 360 hp setup.And only one was built.
UNFORTUNATELY THE CUSTOMER WAS INCARCERATED FOR TRANSPORTING ILLEGAL LIQUOR PRIOR TO DELIVERY. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 12 MONTHS BEFORE BEING SOLD TO A CUSTOMER SEEKING A ONE YEAR OLD SEDAN WITH A STICKSHIFT. TOTALLY UNAWARE OF THE HIGH PERFORMANCE NATURE OF THE CAR AND HE SOON COMPLAINED ABOUT THE HORRIBLE GAS MILEAGE.

its a steal of a deal
Well To who ever wanted it Matt Kensith made an apology for what ever in public ------ T H E N ------- he went out and set on the pole for the race at Ft Worth , now wonder what Kevin has to say about that ! oh yeah he also set a new record while doing it..... And its with a Toy Auto
Ok now we are getting down to the end of this so called chase that the beach bunch has throwed together.
First off I dont think they would have all the good guys in the position they are in at the end or near the end of the series.
One thing has led to another,The first is while we thought we had seen urgency when it comes to advancing out of this Eliminator Round into the Final Four, I think a non-Chase driver taking a win off the board simply ramps up the tension even that much more now because three chances for an automatic berth into the final four has now dropped. Now for eight drivers, there are only two more chances to win.
The other thing this does is make what Ryan Newman and Matt Kenseth are doing in the Chase look downright brilliant. Neither have a win this year yet. With that said, however, Ryan is now second in the points and Matt is fourth in the points. Remember that only four drivers advance after next weekend's race at Phoenix. Those two drivers are using their consistency to make the system work in their favor. They are showing the NASCAR Nation that consistency can play a vital role in who will make the final four in Homestead in November. I think all of a sudden that spotlight has gotten a lot brighter. I think it's also gotten the attention of a lot of folks -- especially in NASCAR -- that despite all the emphasis put back on winning, our 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup champion could be a driver who never won a race all year. So can Ryan Newman OR Matt Kenseth make it to the end with enough points to win the title while another wins the race.
Set down and go through the figures,it is possible,very possible that a non winner takes the trophy, A wreck could really shake the stakes up or maybe the statement that Kevin Harvick made pertaining to Matt Kenseth could muddy the water real quick.
SO ALL YOU TWIDDLERS OF PENCILS set down and dissect the rest of the season and tell us your version of this..

this was how it looked when it was parked Dave
Well another year has passed and you still the Legend -- What can I say BUT
The depression, along with the negative stigma, are often cited as the reasons for the extinction of board track racing. There were a few more extenuating factors; the tracks were hard on machinery. Often the fasted, but most reliable, car would win the race as passing at the high speeds seen on these facilities was nearly impossible. As the racing became stale and predictable, the fans moved on. Upkeep was admittedly expensive, but also dangerous. Workers would change broken boards from underneath the track as racing was taking place above. All of these factors led to dirt being the answer. The last championship race on timber was held at the infamous Altoona Speedway in 1931 and was completely dead by the 40s.
