You got 300!

The was they explained the bump at TMS was that it was actually a dip from the tunnel settling. Figured it might be the same thing.

I would have thought that it would have been over the tunnel, this is just right before it. May be the same thing.

Several of the Truck guys said the bumps were so bad that on the bounce, the undercarriage was putting grooves into the track.

Surprising though that none of the cup drivers that have tested here said anything about it.

Suspension differences?

May be suspension or length of frame differences. Maybe the track sunk on both sides of the tunnel? :)

There was some pretty accurate scuttlebutt that Jr was as well....but at this point since there isn't any news, maybe not.

Bud doesn't like him doing other races for obvious reasons since Sonoma 04.

Biffle also dislocated his shoulder keeping him from attending the Busch banquet in Florida Friday night.

Ricky Rudd returning to Yates


Posted: December 9, 2006

DAVIDSON, N.C. -- Ricky Rudd's self-imposed vacation from racing is over.


After nearly a year off from NASCAR Nextel Cup racing, Rudd and Robert Yates have agreed to join forces once again in what will prove to be more than just a nostalgic joyride down memory lane. Rudd, 50, replaces Dale Jarrett, his former teammate at Robert Yates Racing for three seasons starting in 2000. Jarrett has since joined Michael Waltrip Racing. Butch Hylton will continue in his role as the Yates team's crew chief.

Yates introduced the No. 88 in 1995, but in what could be a strange, yet positive, turn of events, it's likely Rudd will be reviving his former car number -- the 28 -- one of the most popular numbers in NASCAR. RYR first carried the No. 28 when the team was purchased from Ranier Racing in 1988. Davey Allison, Ernie Irvan and Kenny Irwin drove the No. 28 Texaco Havoline Ford, but after the sponsor moved to Ganassi Racing and Rudd left Yates at the end of 2002, the number hasn't been used.

The candy giant Mars, which already sponsors Yates' No. 38 M&M's Ford, also will back Rudd's effort.

WCG, JJ breaks his wrist...."his non-shifting" hand, falling out of a golf cart.

...they moved the link.........

Good thing it's the off-season, no driving for 4 weeks.

from AP: ``I was in a golf cart and the driver took a sharp turn,'' Johnson said in a statement. ``I wasn't holding on tight enough, landed awkwardly on the ground and heard a little pop. It was a fluke deal, but fortunately we're in the offseason and I don't plan to miss any additional time.''
