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

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.
The first reunion movie wasn't bad but the 2nd one plain out stunk. The only thing that really bothers me with the first one is Daisy doesn't want to marry Enos. And like you said Roger I don't think Daisy would have left Hazzard. I can see Bo & Luke leaving to sew wild oats but not Daisy.
I like that they went back to single car qualifying @ Daytona again and the way they had it setup with one qualifying lap run after another was exciting. Was rooting for Clint Bowyer or Dale jr to have pole.
And attendance at the Clash race was the lowest for a big league Daytona race in more than a decade possibly 2 decades, just an estimated 15,000 tickets were sold. Tv ratings are still not in yet though. Some blame the low attendance on the rain delay to Sunday.
