Also, I think Jr probably did that for Mr Hendrick since he was so instrumental in getting Kelley the right Dr’s for her surgery.

Tork had 254 now in 5th place This alignment won't cost you much. Trust me, after all, it's not my Chevy. Ball joints are fine, but the track bar needs some WD. Here we are:
Tork had 254. Tork's in 10th. Grok had 224. Grok's in 5th.
Not for long, I suppose. Give us a wave as you go by.

10th place for a guy that started this years league tied in 1st place.
Two ex Roush drivers in the top ten. Ouch...

Oh SO close. Oh well; if it wasn't Robot, I'm glad it was Northurn Burton.
Just drive-by posting while I finish updating software here at the Days Inn-O'Hare. Geez, this is slow.

Ugh! - DJ finishes 30th and drops a spot to 38th in points.
Yuk!
Enough of that, no, I did not look in the above posts.
I heard a snipet of some other driver getting into the #5 car to finish the race. I had some rather severe back ground noise that prevented me from hearing the details.
After I get my American made POS fixed tomorrow, I'm going looking for a new roll of duct tape.
The kid started it, the wife obliged him - blah - blah - blah....what? Who went into who's car?
Next Sunday: your choice - 1) duct tape or 2) you leave the house NOW! Go! Get gone. don't care where, just get gone, NOW! When you see the checkered flag on the mailbox, you know it's safe to re-enter the house.
The respect meter for Dale Jr just went up several notches.
By request, hop in and drive the idiots's car that 1) took you out, and 2) didn't have enough common sense or respect to wait around long enough to even see if his car was fixable.
Shrub = Punk. Shane Hmiel type quality punk. Could not wait 8 laps of time to see if you're car was repairable?
Grade A punk material, "mis-communication", as stated by crew. Strictly 'cover our ass' was all that was.
As long as there are REAL drivers like Dale Jr, I'll keep watching. This week's news will be nothing but articles about this - a punk giving up and a man stepping up to the plate.
That is what I love about Nascar - heroes and zeroes. You can't hide.

DJ Starts His Broadcast Job at Texas
April 10, 2007Dale Jarrett is a celebrated champion in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series. His career and the fact that he followed his father, two-time NASCAR champion Ned Jarrett, into the racing business have been documented. Jarrett will once again follow in his father's footsteps when he begins his "side" job for the 2007 NASCAR season at Texas Motor Speedway, serving as an ESPN analyst for the NASCAR Busch Series race on Saturday, April 14.
Jarrett will be "moonlighting" this season as an ESPN analyst for a select number of NASCAR Busch Series races in 2007. ESPN announced its return to NASCAR Nextel Cup Racing last October at Lowe's Motor Speedway, where the all-sports network introduced its star-studded lineup of talent as well as a variety of programming the network would do surrounding NASCAR. Jarrett was one of the individuals introduced as part of ESPN's talent lineup.
Although Jarrett is scheduled to compete full-time in the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series through 2008, he started negotiations with ESPN in early 2006. The 1999 NASCAR Cup Series champion had participated in a handful of broadcasts in 2004 and 2005 as a special guest commentator. As an ESPN analyst, Jarrett is considered a full-fledge employee and will appear during at least 10 of the NASCAR Busch Series weekend broadcasts in 2007, providing commentary during the qualifying and race shows.
"I was kind of hoping I might put this off until the end of my career but I thought I better go on and get started," Jarrett said of his part-time job. "I'm looking forward to it and certainly, doing this with ESPN, is the perfect opportunity for me. I've done a couple races here and there but it is something I have enjoyed."
While Jarrett enjoys the time in the booth and analyzing the race for television audiences, he said it is also an opportunity to gain a little insight for what may transpire during the Nextel Cup Series races on Sunday.
"It's something that's totally different with a different perspective of looking at the races and what goes on," Jarrett said. "I think there's something to be said, too, for watching on Saturday and really paying close attention to what's going on for Sunday. There are some things you can learn. You don't necessarily have to be in the seat to learn some things for that."
Another benefit of participating in the ESPN broadcasts is the opportunity to reconnect with some old pals - Dr. Jerry Punch and Andy Petri. Jarrett, Punch and Petri all grew up near each other in Newton, N.C., and spent a lot of time together as teenagers and 20-somethings when Jarrett was embarking on his own racing career.
"You're probably going to hear stories about things that we did back when I first started racing that were really crazy things," Jarrett said of the trio's upcoming broadcasts. "Here was Dr. Jerry Punch on a Friday night as we had a new engine trying to get it down through the middle of little Newton, North Carolina at two o'clock in the morning. I was driving the truck and Jerry and Andy were in the back holding the engine because we didn't have a crate or anything to put it in. This is Dr. Jerry Punch at that time as well. That's what he did for a living, but he was helping us get our race car to the racetrack. So I'm really looking forward to that part of the broadcasts as well."
Currently, Jarrett is scheduled to participate in the ESPN broadcast of NASCAR Busch Series activities during both race weekends at Texas and Phoenix, as well as the Busch Series events taking place at Talladega, Richmond (May), Charlotte (May), Dover (June) and New Hampshire.

Thanks for that post!
DJ has had some previous experiences in the booth, dating back several years.
I think he does a good job. And I base that on what the commentator has to offer and how they deliver it to the audience. For Nascar expierence, DJ is good.
I told WCG not too long ago that one of the most painful things I have ever watched was Rusty Wallace doing a broadcast for an F-1 race. Completely out his realm, his area of knowledge, and he sounded like a fool.
DJ's driving days are not over, but it sure is hard to watch a bonifide, "can do it", driver struggle with crap equipment.
RYR's shinning moment this year was at Daytona. Front row. And the press was all over it - "RYR is BACK!"
Ummm.....no, they are not. Same sh!t as the previous 4 years. I did not expect much from the rookie in the #38 car, but I did expect something from Rudd in the #88 if things really were turning around at RYR.
Not. He is on parr with what DJ did the last several years. Good driver with shit equipment. RYR is history. Toast. Stick the fork in it now and start carving it up. Doug will have the engine department, but as a competetive racing team - you got memories and that's it.
At this point, I'd like to ask DJ if the $$ was worth all the shit that has came with it. Did you buy into the MW sales pitch with your eyes closed, or what?
Painful for me to watch this nightmare unfold.
Mikey is the loose cannon. I love the commercials you made. Perhaps you need to look to Horryweird for a career, Mikey. You ain't cutting it as an owner so far. A+ for salesmenship, F- for delivery on performance. You suck.
Can't wait to hear how Buffy kicks you're ass for walking home in stocking feet, no shoes! New commercial, I'm sure.
Dale Jarrett is my driver, has been for years. Thick and thin, ya know?
Maybe it's just me....I've been a Ram fan since the days of Deacon Jones and the Fearsome Foursome. Ahhh...back in the day! Everyone knows the punishment the Rams took for so many years.....
Did I mention that I really hate San Francisco? lol.
Thanks, PRB.
