It’s a New Year

Friday, January 27th, 2012

Well, now that we have a new year to start the Nascar Racing Events.  What has transpired so far over the off season?  One thing is that the Busch brothers are going to race Nationwide together.  Kyle has hired Kurt to race when he isn’t with the sponsorship of Monster Energy.  Grandma got them back together.

Danica is totally away from Indy racing.  Elliot Sadler will be racing in the Sprint Cup, under RCR with the number 33 car with General Mills and Kroger Foods as a sponsor.  A. J. has signed with Penske’s team to replace Kurt Busch.  They are looking forward to this.  A. J. has been moving up in the standings, so this might make a good fit.         Carl Edwards has decided not to race the Nationwide Racing, unless he has too much energy that he has to burn off on Saturdays, so he can race Sprint Cup on Sundays. Which way will that go?   Denny Hamlin fired his crew chief in December 2011.  Replacement??  Tony Stewart fired his crew chief after winning the Cup.

And then there are going to be new rules for NASCAR’S SPRINT CUP RACING.  And the sponsorship on the race cars are changing.  The sponsors are going to split with other sponsors to cover the costs.

Let’s start making our predictions now and see how we come out in the end.  Is Tony Stewart going to be a repeat champion?  Or do we think Jimmie Johnson can sneak back in the winners circle.  Or do you feel that Dale Earnhardt Junior will raise to the top?   There are plenty of options out there.  Let’s enjoy the ride!!!    Get the Chevrolets, Fords, Dodges, and Toyotas out there and race.    Til next time

Let the racing start

 

 

Sprint Cup

Monday, November 21st, 2011

Well for a real close finish for the Sprint Cup Chase.  They couldn’t ask for a closer race.  Tony Stewart became the champion after Jimmie Johnson did 5 times in a row.  Good to see a new champ.    Carl Edwards gave it a good ride to the end in his Ford. He lead the most laps but couldn’t close the deal.  So give Tony Stewart t  a big hand on his win….with the Chevrolet.  And being the owner / driver to accomplish this season.

That’s Smoke

So another year is over and now there are going to be a lot of changes for the next year.  Car, Sponsors, and maybe drivers.

See you next year.  Hope everyone has a good off season

Let the Back Flips Begin

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

Push Grip Turn always like watching Carl Edwards do his back flips when he wins a race. And so this past Sunday we got to watch him do it. As he was him beaming with all his smiles. In his #99 Ford for Rousch Fenway Racing in the Kobalt Tools 500 at Las Vegas he won the Trophy Wrench. Nascar news “Was it luck” more than likely due to a pit mistake on Tony Stewart’s part. Tony dragged an air wrench from his stall under caution Lap 155 and Edwards powered across the finish line 1.246 seconds ahead of Stewarts #14 Chevrolet. This victory meant a lot to him, after being disappointed by having his pole-winning car knocked into the fence early in last week’s race at Phoenix, and by finishing second in the Feb. 20 Daytona 500 race.
He led the final 23 Laps He thinks that flying with the Air Force Thunderbirds on Thursday had made him fly on the track Sunday. And he is going to have the trophy in the hangar at the Nellis Air Force Base. He said that they taught him about discipline and about believing in what you do. The trophy is how he is going to thank them. After doing his traditional back flip he carried the checkered flag and walked the track in his Scotts EZ seed racing uniform.
