I have a feeling that a car within the Hendrick network might give kyle a bump in the race, to get Gordon in the chase

 

Will it be kind of like that time that Paul Menard mysteriously lost it off turn 4 so Harvick could get a shot at Carl Edwards?????

 

Yeah pretty much, its gonna get interesting thats for sure

 

So Kensith in the 20 & Lagano in the 22 next year, personally i think they shoulda gave Hornish a chance in the 22 before Lagano

 

I couldnt agree more!

 

Thanks Guys, winner takes a bow!

Look familiar? Got me the win last week.

Also Duane, wasn't this the Chevy Rock n Roll 400 also. I have a car or two from that.

 

I so remember that. It looked so cheap and sounded cheaper on his radio. Menard did a good job of find the safest spot to spin it tho. His crew chief (or someone) kept telling him that they did not need a caution and updating him on how Harvick was running. When the time was right, Menard was told to "check his gauges" and he spun out.

Hornish had a chance. But aside from that, I think Penske is interested in keeping Hornish to win him a Nationwide Championship. Logano wasn't going to come over to Penske for that offer. I do think Logano is lucky. JGR sold his ride out from under him and was trying to push him into driving Nationwide full time for them. It's a good think for Joey that AJ likes smoking crack. That saved Joey's career, but I think he'll do better at Penske.

I don't quite understand Matt's move. It seems sort of lateral and risky. Maybe he's getting bored. He looks bored in the face

 

I don't know about the Kenseth thing. I actually know some people who think Gordon should leave Hendrick because he is so overshadowed by Kahne, Jimmie, and Junior. Jimmie is the cahmpion, Kahne is the youth, the energy of the organization, and its future, and Junior is the fan favorite. When you look at it like that, there just isn't much room over there for Jeff Gordon....


Something is wrong with Roush in general though. Last year, they had points leader Carl Edwards and he was talking to JGR about that 20 car. This year, Kenseth was leading the points and announced he would leave. They have a car they can't keep sponsorship on, they were almost struggling to get a package together for Edwards....

Another thing for Matt is that he won Roush that first championship, and then when Edwards threatened to leave, they threw all that money at him and begged him to stay... made him "the face of Ford Racing." How did Kenseth feel about that? Sitting over there going... "Guys, I got two Daytona 500 wins and a championship....."

 

Roush should care more about Edwards. Edwards is better and way more marketable then the deadpan Kenseth. Kenseth is a good driver, but lethargic in interviews. That's a tough sell. Edwards will be a part of Nascar for the next 40-50 years in some capacity and probably always on camera...
