What's everybody's thoughts on Dale Earnhardt Jr retiring at the end of the year. I'm not shocked by the news especially considering the bad concussion he got last year, but that is going to be one heck of a big void to be filled.
Rain (had 2 total inches Friday-Monday and expecting another 1-2inches Thursday-Saturday) thoughts and prayers to those who got flooded this past weekend
Daniel Suarez/Carl Edwards Crew Chief Dave Rogers resigned from JGR http://nascar.nbcsports.com/2017/03/29/joe-gibbs-racing-crew-chief-dave-rogers-taking-personal-leave-for-indefinite-period/ of course this fed the conspiracy theorists more with the boasting that Penske will be going back to Dodge in 2018 and hired Carl Edwards for one of the team cars.
Seems Fox wants to throw Nascar fans a bone and throw the Martinsville Truck race on Saturday on Fox instead of FS1 since the MENCS race Sunday will be on FS1. So this will make the 3rd year in a row that Fans will not be able to watch the Martinsville Cup races in Spring and Autumn on free over the air broadcast TV. You'd think that Martinsville being one of the best races that Nascar would want it on the channel that reaches the most veiwers. I'd rather watch one of the Martinsville and Bristol races over the boring Kansas, Kentucky, Chicago or Las Vegas races.
Actually the Charger was 10 inches wider than the XKE, also had a 12" longer wheelbase and 2 feet longer bumper to bumper and 5" taller than an XKE though all the extra dimensions didn't add that much weight to the Charger as it weighed in around 3,100 -3,700 lbs depending on the Engine and various options while the XKE weighted around 3,300 lbs.
Mine too. Got the Bluray complete set as a birthday gift last year, definitely worth the premium price. When I was young my dad got a color tv set and gave me the old b/w set for my bedroom. I used to set my alarm for Johnny Carson and after his monologue I'd switch over to the local Fox station which would air reruns of Star Trek the same time as Johnny. On school nights I'd have to keep from laughing otherwise my dad would wake up
Squirrel
Those furry rodents are really becoming a pain in my rear as of late thanks to neighbors who feed them everyday. I'm finding they really don't like being soaked by cold water when the temps are cold though hehehe.
For the 2018 season there will be five 1.5 mile ovals in the Chase http://www.nascar.com/en_us/news-media/articles/2017/3/8/las-vegas-hosting-second-monster-energy-nascar-cup-series-race-2018.html . Maybe if we're lucky for the 2019 season they will just have nothing but 1.5 mile cookie cutter ovals in the chase . I do think the New Hampshire race is a bit boring but at least it was something different than the four 1.5 mile ovals currently in the Chase. And there's also this bit of news http://nascar.nbcsports.com/2017/03/06/report-nascar-considers-making-cars-quieter-in-near-future/ Might as well just pout a bunch of Tesla's on the track and call it a day. It's like they just keep pulling ideas out of the stupid hat.
I root for anybody not in a Toyota especially the #18, he has amazing talent but a horrible attitude. I can't ever recall all three Daytona races being such a wreckfest before. They should have just raced on a figure 8 track .
Sucks that once again most of the races are on Cable channels but the way the tv ratings are going it probably won't be too soon that all the races will be on the cable channels, especially now that Fox sports are putting more stick and ball sports on Fox stations.
