Yea most likely Dillon boy Motorsport

 

Will RCR even be better once the Dillon boys come up? Harvick is pretty good driver but yet makes mostly mediocre runs at times lately, I think his move is a wise choice but I dont see RCR being a top team any time soon

 

Oh ****!

Im going with all the chevs this time.

My man Brad K wont be in it, plus i just got a feeling based on testing that the Fords will be at a disadvantage (easy to get punted) I also think Kenseth wont do as well on the plate tracks with JGR vs how he did with Roush. Although i dislike Roush and hopes he proves that cat in the hat looking maggot wrong, my picks are.

1.) Jr.
2.) Gordon
3.) Stewart

 

1)Kurt Busch
2)Kyle Busch
3)Matt Kenseth

 

Classic NASCAR Photo of the Day:


Back in the Day, it took a real man to be a flag man. This is Johnny Brunner Jr, who was a NASCAR Flagman until 1976 if my sources are correct.

This is the start of the 1959 Daytona 500. They had flag men in the infield for many years. While it is every bit as dangerous as it looks, one has to remember that back in the day, there were no radios for the spotters to tell the driver when the flag was dropped, so they had the flagman in the stand and a flagman in the infield for visibility.

 

Yeah, it looks dangerous to be the flagman. But it also looks incredibly dangerous to be a fan in attendance. Is there even so much as a chain link fence? It doesn't look like it. The wall looks fairly tall - maybe 5 feet. But it looks paper thin and just the flying debris would be treacherous. Let alone if they wrecked in the tri-oval. How many pics have we seen them climbing over them walls?

 

No chain link fences... not until I think the 70's or even the 80's at a lot of tracks. The walls were known to bust apart too...

Back then, most tracks just had a double guardrail system for a wall in the corners... it wasn't uch more than a modern interstate would have.

Given, they usually go over in 1-2 or 3-4, not the tri oval.... but do you want to bet your life on that?

 

Well, Carl Edward sure knows it can happen! Can you imagine the brutality of that wreck with that kind of retaining wall? Hundreds would have been killed...

 

NO doubt about that. That Daytona wall does look taller than they are now but wouldn't want to bet my life on it saving a car from the stands.

 

It does look kinda taller I agree, but that could be an optical illusion because it looks so much thinner...
