I'm presuming the Martinsville trophy hasn't made it to the land of the maple leaf yet?

I gave up on Trevor Bayne a few months ago. I can't remember anyone during my years who entered NASCAR so hot, who seemingly got worse with every race, and work so hard to lose my respect. I really wanted to like Trevor and was happy for the Daytona 500 win. But he's hardly done a thing since then except tear up cars. If he hadn't won that 500, he would have been cut from everyone's racing programs 2 years ago

He's very likeable, even in his interview there he just seems so innocent. Sweet story about how he proposed ot his now wife too.

I think one thing that will always cloud his career is that MS diagnosis. Every time he makes a bad move on a track or something strange like this happens, epople are going to wonder if his nerves are sensing things like they should and if he's reacting appropriately. And they may very well be right, but I don't think so.

I also wonder if the degradation of his career since that 2011 Daytona 500 can be attributed to general decline of the Roush-Fenway racing program. Ricky Stenhouse seems to get worse and worse every year too... You really think that Edwards, Biffle, Stenhouse, AND Bayne are all getting worse as they go? I refuse to believe that.

RFR is getting worse - no doubt. But Bayne is very hard on equipment. He seldom brings the car home in one piece. And as a car owner, I don't know how you can stand that - whether you bring a sponsor or not. That's what I couldn't understand about Peblo or Hornish either. They might bring sponsors, but do the sponsor dollars even offset the cost? I can't see how Bayne offsets his cost either. He's run more-or-less unsponsored a lot too

The 11 car of Bowyer has that side skirt/rocker panel popped out by teh right rear tire too.


Maybe we should play a game during the race tomorrow... how many cars will pop the side skirt out?

I don't konw, I don't see Bayne tearing up cars and it being "his fault" that often. Seems like just bad luck by being in positions with bad running cars that he shouldnt' be around in teh first place if he was leading laps and winning races with a team like Penske or Gibbs, or JR Motorsports.

This is a childish funny game and I'm in! It like when your driving on a road trip and you see a VWBeetle and punch someone. Any time you see the pulled out fender on tv, call it out with a post! And everybody drinks!

Awesomeness was just born!...
