It won’t have any many miles on it as the rest of the field. :-)

Good question. Decision time.
I think he has that new HDWE, hot dog wrapper eliminator, on it.
The're saying a few scattered showers in LA for Oscar night. Hope it just rains on those pot heads and not the race cars.
Go Flipper, the newlywed along with Sadler..
I don’t think Flipper has many anti-fans, and the drivers he has booted inadvertenetly and otherwise have forgiven him in the finest Rodney King tradition.
I hope Clint and his team can pick it up this year. He’s a good driver. Kenseth came off of midwest dirt tracks as did many others.
What did I miss? Did Vickers replace the engine?
Midwest asphalt tracks; Eudora is the only dirt racing Kenseth has done.
what ch and what time does this thing start here in So Cal
If you would like to be added to the Nascar at FR Ping List, let me know.
This is not a High Volume Ping List and is intended primarily to alert folks of the posting of the weekly Nascar qualifying and race threads.
Occasional sports or military or prayers Pings using the list may also be sent as situation or subject dictates.
Re-Posting --- I may as well post the Mother of all race thread disclaimers again.
Nascar at FR race thread disclaimer.
------------
This thread is for fans of Nascar and was started to help Support Our Troops and have a regular place to watch, review and commnet on Nascar activity year-round.
It was started 7 years ago and intended to be a fun place for those that enjoy Nascar racing and allow them to have a place at FR where fans can gather on race day to follow along and discuss the race and not beat each other silly when your driver gets pooched.
This is an all volunteer FR thread posting operation and takes no funds from anyone and has no Nascar or sponsor affiliation.
It was also started so our military members and families could also drop in and get info and recaps on race results and other goings on in Nascar.
It is NOT a political thread, at least not in off election years and posting of personal political views and rumors re: Nascar and/or drivers is highly discouraged and blatant attempts to stir up controversy will NOT be tolerated.
If you feel the urge building to let it rip or really have to TAUNT or get peed-off at someone over their driver's actions or such, Please Take it elsewhere or OFFLINE! I know folks say things in the heat of the moment, a simple apology usually does the trick or we can delete the post.
If you wish to bash, bang on or just say nasty things for the sake of stirring things up about teams and drivers, I recommend you NOT do it without realizing it throws the threads off kilter and I may have to Red Flag the thread and eject the stirrers.;-).
This is a race thread and we all usually have a good time doing the usual banter over the teams and such, just KEEP IT CIVIL!!!
If ya have to repeat your same 'arguments' 100 times over, Please Give us ALL a break!
Stuff happens on the track , what looks like one driver's fault ain't always the case, so be prudent before ya lambaste or make a comment that isn't well-thoughtout and respectful to all the thread occupants or is a clear jab or insult.
Posting of inappropriate pictures used in a taunting manner will also result in your post(s) being pulled. This is a family friendly thread, please keep that in mind. There are plenty of other threads to practice your witticisms or half-witticisms as the case may be. If folks want to start there own race thread, be our guest, we have quite a few regulars that won't mind, I'm sure.
Please keep the thread on topic as much as possible during the race. We post the current race positions and discussion of what is happening in the race for those that may not have the TV in the same room as the computer. Or, in some instances some may not even have the viewing channel available on their cable.
Also, it seems a few feel like certain drivers get short-shrift while others get preferential treament on the threads. Big frickin' deal!!! Lighten up and Get over it already.
Thanks.. NR
