Wonder what ol' Willie Quatlebaum will score??
For Johnny Mallonee Only (Don't Look Legend)
General
Forgive me for saying this....but I kinda liked it. Pretty decent parody of Smokey and the Bandit (reminds me I need to watch it soon!) of this one and the next one is where the cop goes under the trailer and the top comes off.
Anyway, I guess 'GreaseMonkey' was the 'original' digger....
RJR / Winston Would've Loved NASCAR Driver Timmy Hill, BUT Should NASCAR Deny Phoenix Entry? Shhhh...
Current NASCAR
Dang, it's been a few years, since Bill Elliott has won a race....when Chase gets to the top, they just might question our hertiage of Dawsonville? Maybe I'll be there in time to stop that! lol
Where does this leave Dodge?
Current NASCAR
The "Darkside"?!?!?! What are you drinking?!?! lol
But more seriously, I was surprised. I figured that Roger had all the support from corporate, being the only full time, good team in the top three series. Either he got mad at Dodge, or Ford is greedy for another Ford owner that's name is NOT Jack Roush.
Penske switches to Ford
Current NASCAR
Unless Petty goes back, I wouldn't want Robby Gordon and Brian Keslowski representing mymanufacturer. But still, I figured Roger would've had all the backing from he needed. Since he was basically the only full-time Dodge team in Nascar's top three series. Either he got mad at Dodge, or Ford offered him WAY more money to come back (probably the last one)But, this will be the first full-team that's NOT owned by Jack Roush, and I don't have to complain about the car either!
THE PRICE YOU PAY TO RACE THIS DAY ----IN NASCAR

I think your figures are a little old Johnny....I know for a FACT that everything you listed is WAYYYYYYY more. The Elliott's told me that a set of Good-Year tires for their K&N car (remember, just ONE set) is $1,200!!! I also know that the helmets can go for $5k plus.....
This is just one of the many reasons that I'm an announcer and not a driver...
Fun to Watch 1st Time Winners
General
Like I said during Tuesday's show, I'm not picking simply because it's who ever can sneek through and not get hit. The last two days have been a wreck-fest, and on both races, it was one who stayed in front for the last handful of laps and hang on, and the other came from 11th or 12th (something like that) to first in the final turn to win it. I'm just afraid to pick and I'm glad I'm not betting.

The Bill Elliott Wish List
General
The reason Bill qualified so bad was because he was driving a dang toyota. Last year when he drove the 500 for James Finch, he qualified 5th and finished 12th. He was in the lead pack with two to go. I'm just waiting to see what he can do with the Walmart car in July....
