Congratulations DJ. Sounds like Bristol will be a blast! I'm jealous...

Give it up, #3Fan.

Give what up, you were proven wrong.

It's over, but I'll not soon forget the depth of your mindless hatred.

I'm not the one on a 6 month campaign of lies, you are.

You do no credit to the #3 you profess to admire so passionately.

Admire so passionately? A fan, yes, but I don't know about a passionate admirer. You can't keep anything in perspective.

A fool, perhaps. Perhaps I am. But not for the reason you think. Rather for spending any of my precious time on this earth trying to reason with the likes of you.

What reasoning? You have shown no reasoning at all, just blind belief of obvious lies. If you employed any reasoning, you wouldn't go on these conspiracy binges. Rather, you'd respect good people enough not to spread malicious gossip about them with absolutely no proof.

If this were just a one time misjudgment on your part I wouldn't defend good people against your lies so vehemently. But this has been an all-year deal with you. From February to last week to the last couple of days, nothing but bull has been in your posts.

Six-month campaign of lies...

What the heck are you smoking? I've let this particular venomous claim of yours go for too long. I did a search for NASCAR-related posts and found over 70, going back one year to 6/30/02. Assuming that the search engine retains my user-specified 'followed' and 'unfollowed' link colors, I read exactly TWO of those threads.

I wouldn't doubt that somewhere, on some thread, among the hundreds upon hundreds out there, you might find other comments from me about a NASCAR-related topic. I told you, I very rarely participate on NASCAR-related threads on FR, which isn't to say I never do.

But a 6-month campaign of lies?

YOU WROTE: If this were just a one time misjudgment on your part I wouldn't defend good people against your lies so vehemently. But this has been an all-year deal with you. From February to last week to the last couple of days, nothing but bull has been in your posts.

But ah, yes, I finally found that post in February that you've been stewing about. Me, I had forgotten about it, but man, you are one peculiar individual for holding on to a grudge against some stranger who exchanged a couple of posts with you several months ago.

So let me get this straight: I post comments you take exception to on exactly TWO threads spread over a four-month period, and that, to you, becomes a "6-month campaign of lies" from which you feel the need to protect all those good people out there. Boy oh boy. Now I understand what the deal is with you.

Hold back a little. I think she is a troll and I'd love to figure out a way to get interviewed by her, live. You'd see some button pushing going down. Like Katie, it wouldn't be pretty.

DJ, I expect a full report of the events in Bristol due the Monday morning after. Pictures would be nice too.

BTW, I recall on an occasion seeing the 3 Dales (Sr., Jr. and DJ) heading for the exits after a race in the same golfcart. I suspect they were late for some hunting or something. And as I understand it, Jr. looked to DJ for some comfort and guidence after his dad passed on. They do have some sort of relationship/friendship.

Have fun!

Um....I did mention that I was a Dale Jarrett fan. He said Jr. was too. *grins*

What an incredible investigative effort - good work! I must admit, I'm quite nascar naive. I just started watching races as my son is a Junior fan. All along I've been reading your screen name to mean Dale Jr. - like him so much, you wrote his number twice. LOL, who'da thunk it, Dale Jarrett is 88! I'm still giggling at myself.

How much money do they spend on those cars, only to use brute force for that final precision tweak?

tweaking the fender in the area shown in the photo would increase down force on the right front,allowing better handing in the turns, and reduce drag over the right side roof line, that would increase straight line speed.
I dare anyone to challenge this.

It almost was a 1-car race thanks to Sprague.

Thank you, Watermen. Despite all the thunder and fury on this thread, the incident the article's author described did happen, according to the information DJ88 obtained in contacting DEI. I most definitely am not qualified to know if that tweaking was legal or illegal under NASCAR rules, which are mysterious at the best of times. Whether or not it was legal, though, the crewman tweaked that area for a reason. Your description of the likely effect seems logical to me.

Outstanding, you lucky dog :-)

Enjoy Bristol; you definitely earned it.

"..then it calls the integrity of the entire sport into question."

Sport? R U $hitting me? Car racing is a SPORT? Next thing you know, you all will be calling the drivers "athletes".....

Love the crash scenes though.....

Actually, the question of whether or not it's a sport is one I wrestle with sometimes. Take the NASCAR method of picking a year-end champion. Now I was always taught that the object of a sport is to win the game/race/event. But in the NASCAR world, the object isn't to win as much as it is to be "consistent." Sure, winning is fun. You get to celebrate in the winner's circle and take home the biggest check. But you could win many more races than anyone else in a given season, and still lose the year-end championship to a guy who didn't win a single race, yet had consistent top 5 or top 10 finishes and no DNF's.

I also am curious about the question of whether or not NASCAR is the WWF on wheels or an honest sport — ummm..."sport." That's why articles on cheating in NASCAR pique my interest.

Yep. In February your theory was that Nascar let Dale Jr run with a bigger restrictor. A lie with no shred of evidence. Now you print the lies of an author that, obvious to anyone with common sense, was lying. Both accuse various people of cheating. July - February = 6 months. In between you say that the only thing he's done is be named "Earnhardt"...another lie. He's won two Busch titles, won in his twelth start and won the Winston as a rookie.

YOU WROTE: If this were just a one time misjudgment on your part I wouldn't defend good people against your lies so vehemently. But this has been an all-year deal with you. From February to last week to the last couple of days, nothing but bull has been in your posts. But ah, yes, I finally found that post in February that you've been stewing about. Me, I had forgotten about it,... but man, you are one peculiar individual for holding on to a grudge against some stranger who exchanged a couple of posts with you several months ago.

Not holding a grudge...simply remembering an idiot whjen he makes as big a fool of himself as you did in February. That was a major lie you were telling.

So let me get this straight: I post comments you take exception to on exactly TWO threads spread over a four-month period, and that, to you, becomes a "6-month campaign of lies" from which you feel the need to protect all those good people out there. Boy oh boy. Now I understand what the deal is with you.

This is a symptom of one of the great evils of modern society...people accuse the worst things against people in public with no evidence and therefore no sense of morality. It's wrong to go around and accuse good people of these kinds of things...very wrong. And it goes on with every walk of life, from lies against the president, to Nascar, to Joe Sixpack down the street. That's what I said earlier, that's it's hard to publically like anything anymore, because of immoral people like you that don't have the decency to try to be truthful about things.

Have you not learned anything? The tweaking is a common occurance in tech inspection. The author knew that but printed this knowing gullible people like you would believe it wasn't a common occurance. And I'll say again that if you believe the fender was moved an inch and a half above the fender, you don't know Nascar.

No, they pique your interest because you're the type that enjoys falsely accusing others, as you've shown over and over.
