Also, Ned Jarrett will wave the green flag for the race Sunday!!!
Speaking of The Rowdy One …
Marty,
It has been reported that the Toyotas have more horsepower. Why are they allowed to be SO far ahead of the Chevys, Fords and Dodge cars? The discrepancy in HP is SO apparent in all three series. I thought NASCAR was all about “parity,” so what gives with the extra Toyota HP? That extra HP is what’s making Kyle fast right now. It won’t be long before he is trouble.
P.S. Remember it was Kyle Busch who got his own butt released from HMS. He [his agent] who went looking for another job while still under contract with HMS. Can you say BREACH? He was an embarrassment to Rick, HMS and sponsors, with his antics leaving the track at Texas, and his actions in the All-Star race. I even stopped buying M&M’s because they sponsor him now. I wouldn’t want my son acting like Kyle. Oh yeah, he does, but my son is only 20 months old. Anyway, you guys in the booth/media spewing your praise on Kyle is just making him more dangerous on the track. Seems like all of you guys have forgotten the Daytona truck race, where he wrecked a lot of good trucks. He hasn’t changed, just has more HP.

Not a Kyle Busch fan, huh Mary? Let’s break this response into parts. First, Toyota’s engine advantage. Kevin Harvick discussed it at Las Vegas.
“I think everybody in the garage is down on horsepower compared to what the Toyotas are,” Harvick said. “I mean, in the [Nationwide Series] it is almost a joke as to how much more power they make compared to everyone else.
“Hopefully that is the reason that we put these inserts in the [Nationwide] motors is so we can keep the fields even and, obviously, the whole field is not completely stupid. They have all been here a long time, that particular brand makes substantially more power than anybody else in the garage, so it has got something to do with the parts and pieces that they have compared to everybody else.”
Do they have the same advantage in the Cup Series?
“Absolutely,” Harvick said. “They have the same power advantage they have in the [Nationwide] garage; it just doesn’t show up as much, because there are more good teams to overcome that.
“Right now, everybody is trying to play a little catch-up on the power side of it to get to where they need to be. Those engine packages are all brand-new, so right now it is not good for anybody in the garage unless you have a Toyota.”
Should NASCAR be looking into it?
“I don’t think it is hidden,” Harvick continued. “All the engine dyno numbers are pretty apparent. I think it is all public knowledge, if I am not mistaken. It is all pretty apparent — there is a distinct problem between both divisions.”
As for Busch’s attitude, you’re not saying anything I didn’t say — or most anyone else who’s been raving about Busch hasn’t said. Everyone acknowledges that he made some dumb decisions, but one key point I hoped to make is that everyone is an idiot at 19 yeas old. I’m not excusing his attitude, just trying to offer an alternative perspective.

And Dad is gonna wave the green flag, how awesome. Heck, they need to get Dad in the booth! lol
Thanks for all the info, really appreciate it.
This was news to me. Claire B had Jim Hunter on. A caller asked him if they could remove the bump stops if they are a problem. He said that they are not required, some teams are not using them. He said a team that had 3 cars in the top 10 last week had one driver with no bump stops, one who only used it on the left front and one who used both sides!
Bravo... Goose Bumps and Tear Drops...
Thought everyone would like that one. :)
And a 3-ship of P-51 Mustangs.....whoa..
We live close ~ 3 miles ~ to the North Las Vegas AP, handles most of the private / 'little' traffic.
And you can tell when a WWII fighter is flying, a whole different sound to the engine - deep, loud and just awesome - and I'm out the door, looking!
