Spike Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Kurt Busch signs 1 year deal with SHR and gets new Crew Chief Billy Scott from the #10 http://nascar.nbcsports.com/2017/12/12/kurt-busch-re-signs-with-stewart-haas-racing/ Michael McDowell fills the vacant seat of the #34 @ Front Row Motorsports and FRM continues it's partnership with Ford http://nascar.nbcsports.com/2017/12/14/front-row-motorsports-adds-michael-mcdowell-expands-technical-alliance-with-roush-fenway/ TMG and CircleSport part ways which leaves the #33 & Jeffrey Earnhardt's plans up in the air for 2018 http://nascar.nbcsports.com/2017/12/12/circle-sport-parts-ways-with-the-motorsports-group/ Matt Kenseth is still without a ride for 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerDuke Posted December 16, 2017 Report Share Posted December 16, 2017 Thanks for the update Spike. Die you think Kenseth will get one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 I think he would have been a great fit at FRR but they are selling their charter for the #77 and don't seem interested in staying a 2 car team. All the really good teams are full but Penske could add a 4th or Chip Ganassi Racing could add a 3rd if they could find good sponsorship for Kenseth and buy one of the open charters. Daytona is quite a ways away so something could happen for Kenseth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Not much to report but here's the latest: Circle Sport forms alliance with Go Fas Racing and leases charter for the #32 and will also run the #33 part time for 2018 http://nascar.nbcsports.com/2018/01/17/go-fas-racing-secures-charter-by-partnering-with-circle-sport-racing/ David Gilliland will attempt to make the Daytona 500 with startup RBR Racing http://nascar.nbcsports.com/2018/01/17/todd-gilliland-to-drive-no-4-for-kyle-busch-motorsports-father-to-fill-in-at-daytona/ If things go well it might turn into a full time ride. Danica Patrick has funding for the Daytona 500 & Indy 500 now she just needs to find rides for both races http://nascar.nbcsports.com/2018/01/18/danica-patrick-has-daytona-500-indy-500-sponsor-now-needs-ride/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hobie Hartkins Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 I used to think Dana Patrick was ...well...not real ugly but sort of. Now...I think she's hot...not beautiful or gorgeous but still pretty hot! ( I've seen her in bikinis) Am I going blind, losing my mind or just older/hornier or.....?? How old is she?

HossC Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 Danica is 35 (36 in March). I don't think you're losing your mind, Hobie, she's an attractive woman. A quick look through the female racing drivers who've competed at the top level of their sport (NASCAR, Indycar, F1, WRC etc.) over the years seems to suggest that good looks certainly aren't a hindrance. They're definitely a better looking bunch than some of their male counterparts . Hobie Hartkins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Duke Posted January 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Sorry y'all I haven't been around...life is just busy. Two jobs, two dogs.Yada, yada, yada... Sorry to burst y'all's bubble and all, but she is off the market. Her and Ricky Stenhouse Jr split in September and now she is hooked up with Aaron Rodgers. I don't know how a supposed Bears fan would start dating the Packers quarterback...and now claims she is a Packers fan. Four more Sundays til the real Super Bowl..Daytona 500!

Just an FYI...I guess there is no Yahoo fantasy Autoracing anymore, so I guess I won't be having my league. I am beyond upset right now about this. I have been impatiently waiting for Yahoo to open it up only to read that they won't be doing it any more. What is wrong with them? I mean I really look forward to this. My cousin even said him and his friend would join this year...and of course they won't have it. UGH... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand why she would be dating a loser like Aaron Rodgers when the best moonshiner around thinks she's attractive. Does that make any sense to you Hobie? I mean, what's more important in life, fame and fortune or the ability to make your own sipping shine? She has a strange set of priorities. Maybe she's sniffed too many racing fuel fumes.

Thank you Roger. I always enjoy our conversations and reading your posts. I will try to do better about coming on here. You ae a great friend. I find it very upsetting that they won't be doing it anymore, but I bet the drivers are happy. I jinx all the ones I pick so they are probably sighing a big sigh of relief right now.

Spike Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 Looks like Ford will be running a new car for 2019 http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0747472127799597807-4 I'm guessing it will be a Mustang since the Fusion redesign has been scrapped by Ford's new president Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because suv's and trucks are the big sellers these days. Though I don't really see the logic in not redesigning the Fusion as gas prices will inevitably go up sooner or later and then suv's and truck sales will slump as car sales rise again. Doesn't help that Ford's new president didn't even come up through the company's ranks, he was just on the board of Directors since 2013.

That's not a problem that we have here. The unleaded I bought last week was about €1.38/liter, which converts to just under $6.50/US gallon. It looks like US prices are less than half of that figure.
