I thought JB was going to lose it on the late attempt to pass. It would be great to see Schrader win a couple. Speaking of the Devil...

The Wood Brothers said Schrader would be out and Elliott in to get the #21 into the top-35. So do they now consider themselves secure enough to give Schrader the wheel for Pocono?

Had read someplace earlier that Kenny was supposed to be back. They were using Elliot to get the car into the top 35 in owner points. Hope they were serious and bring him back. He's my fav driver.

Kenny finished 5th in the truck race tonight.

The Nascar Families show ESPN had on last night was fabulous. If anyone missed it, the DVD’s will be for sale beginning 7-31. It was mostly about the Allison’s, the Petty’s and the Earnhardt’s.

[Thanks J]

WHAT KIND OF THINGS CAN MARK MARTIN TEACH YOU?
“I don’t know. What did he say?”

THAT HE CAN’T WAIT TO WORK WITH YOU.
“I’ve always liked Mark. He taught me and he taught Matt Kenseth and a lot of guys that raced against him in the Busch Series so much about racing and etiquette and patience and how much there is out there in your race car. I’ve seen him do things in a race car that I just couldn’t believe. Those are the things that you have to see with your own eyes to understand. He would go down in the corner at Charlotte in the Busch car in ‘98 or ‘99 and just do a lot of things that I didn’t know were possible. You just don’t know the limits when you’re at that age and when you’re where I was experience-wise, he was out there teaching me and Matt and a couple of other guys how to get it done and how to do it right. So we built up a pretty good respect for each other since then. He’s always spoken well to me personally and about me within the media. We just have a pretty good respect for each other and I think we have a good friendship. When you talk about friendships with drivers it’s no t so much about hanging out, it’s just the dependability. If you ever called him or needed anything you’d expect him to be there. I’m glad and another thing for Martin (Truex, Jr.), I know Mark hasn’t expressed any interest in running full time or doesn’t really clarify his plans for the next two to three years. But it’s good for Martin too because Martin was really worried about what kind of teammate he was going to have come in there and Martin expressed to me that he wanted out of the three, now four teams that there would be a veteran there that he could go to. Mark’s super for that. Martin’s going to have so much more at his disposal now and for the rest of the season to. So we both got great shots at making the Chase and even better now that we have a teammate in Mark Martin.”

WITH THE ASSETS THAT DEI HAS NOW GAINED, WOULD YOU HAVE STILL LEFT IF YOU HAD KNOWN WHAT WAS TO COME?
“I don’t think that my decision would have been any different. We all forget, you know. I didn’t leave because we didn’t have a seven-post. I didn’t leave because we didn’t have 25 CNC machines. It didn’t have anything to do with whether we were a three, two or four-car operation. There were things about the team that. in racing, you always have to progress. You can’t never sit still and everybody at DEI knows that. That was just something I wanted to aid in and be a bigger part of but the things that are happening now are great for the company. I believe they’re going to be good things for the company. I don’t think it’s a bad move but it wouldn’t have changed my opinion, I don’t believe.”

DO YOU THINK YOUR LEADERSHIP ROLE WOULD BE LESS INVOLVED WITH ALL THE NEW PEOPLE COMING IN?
“No, I don’t think so. I don’t think they’re bringing in any key high-rolling guys. They’re going to have a lot of employees. The hard part about it is they’ve got 700 employees now and they’ve got to get down to about 400. In Mooresville, 300 people are going to be losing their jobs and that’s the tough part about it.”

“I guess it is a geek thing.. You have Stewart for the bullies, Gordon for the metros, Jr. for the rednecks, Edwards for the preps, and Newman for the geeks..’

And Biffile for the ...?

Well, I know most people here do not like the COT but unless you are at a restricter plate race the current car is an anti-draft car (fastest in "clean" air) I think, hopefully. the COT will reintroduce draft racing at the cookie cutter tracts.

“Watched a bunch of the Rolex GT racing over the weekend and apparently these guys are going to take a run at NASCAR next season. Should be interesting.”

I watched a couple and IMO this series needs to find a way to get more passing.

“I think if Newman bolts Penske could get Montoya and the other Busch brother and Ganassi will fall on the floor laughing.”

Bucsh bros and montoya on same team = Bodyshop Full Employment Act.
