As i was looking back through the race results from the passed Fotana races i noticed thet Rusty Wallace has always done pretty good there. He starts 9th Sunday and was 9th fastest in first practice. So, I was wondering:

Do you think Rusty Wallace will end his one race non win streak This sunday?

Nah, Tony'll wreck 'em

Bush

Tony came in 2nd

Interesting, listening to it on the radio - I was at work putting in overtime

I'll go in some tomorrow, too....but I'm bound and determined to get to watch most of it on tv lol

Hmmmmm

I'm by no means a Tony fan, but...today he was driving for Kevin. I didn't get to see the race due to other obligations but I'm glad Tony made a good showing for Kevin. I start to wonder if silly season has already started...I think that since Joe Gibbs has now taken on coaching again and isn't there as a stabilizing factor that Tony may be looking for a way out. Robby has proven that he isn't a team player at RCR, Tony and Zippy would be great replacements but I'm not sure Zippy would leave Gibbs.

Ok, yes I'm majorly biased. I'm a card carrying member of the Kevin Harvick fan club, even have a pic of when I met him last year at the fan club gathering. I find myself trying to figure out whom would be the best team mates for Kevin.

Hmmm...is Gibbs Jr that bad of a replacement for Dad?

I don't know. But Sr was so in control of everything. Sure Tony went off a few times, but Joe was always there to make the calls. He was there at Indy and damn near bitch slapped Tony for the incident with the photographer. Richard is much the same with his drivers. His impact on Harvick is very noticable since he got parked at Martinsville.

I'm just letting my mind wander...

To be honest, there are only a few drivers that I don't like...J Gordon, sniffle, rubber head, kenseth (but this isn't a visceral dislike, he's just that good), J Spencer (GRRR) and anyone with the name Bodine (a wreck waiting to happen), crusty "the whiner" Rusty...

Yeah, Tony does seem to need a babysitter at times - at the very least some anger management classes lol

 

[bra_man69]

wheather have someone like tony then some yes man that just there you know

He's already taken some...I don't think they worked.

At any rate, this is all "Monday morning quarterbacking" and speculation. The team owners will make the best decision for their teams. The drivers just want to drive.

On that note, I must say good night. Storms are fixing to move in and the radar looks rather nasty. Before leaving for the night though, I'll post one of my favorite pictures. KH is so layed back and calm in person and not on the track

Maybe he just needs a short five foot submissive to beat before a race, to lower his stress levels

Hope the storms weren't too bad

Tony's got 'em two cars already.....looks like this may be another race where he needs to run from his 20 to his car really fast after the race lol

 

[frodo2003]

I'll bet they invite Tony for another chat today.

 

[LunarKitten]

I'll bet they invite Tony for another chat today.

Well, ya know....that's racing...ya bump and grind, granted he does it a little more than everyone else lol Though I don't think those two bumps were really done on purpose - though one can only hope in Gordon's case

 

[frodo2003]

ROFL

I'm with ya on that one

 

[frodo2003]

ROFLMAO

Do ya think crusty is pissed off?

That was too funny

 

[LunarKitten]

Re: ROFLMAO

Do ya think crusty is pissed off?

That was too funny

Yeah, I think Tony pissed him off more flipping him off than bumping him If he gets back out on that track, Tony'd better watch his back

heh Rusty made it REAL clear where he'd like to stick that finger...

With Richmond coming up....count on it!

 

[frodo2003]

Oh yeah, there's some payback coming for sure...

And I know just what crusty will say..."Rubbin' is racin' ". But hey, it's all good. Anyone but J. Gordon...

*nods* I'm surprised no one has tried to get him back today for last week. He's not doing too good at making friends this season lol

 

[LunarKitten]

And it was another gas mileage race Tony messing up his car bumping in the first ten laps...then Jarret kissing the wall...and then everyone out of gas on the last lap...all in all, it was a pretty good race

Darn that Gordon anyways *sigh*

 

[frodo2003]

Yup, darn Gordo. But...KH did damn good. He came back from 30th at the last pit stop to snag a top 10...AND...he lead so we got those 5 points for leading.

That was a good race, but they go to Richmond in 2 weeks...I smell some pay back coming

Yup...he'd better be watching his rear view mirror real close

 

[frodo2003]

Actually, I think that crusty will come out of no where. He's been in the game a long time ya know.
