I have to say that Brian Vickers keeps amazing me. Compare this year to last year and the difference is like night and day. I wonder how much our team benefitted from having JGR join the Toyota group and them assigning one of their head technicians as the go-to guy between all Toyota teams.

Brian had a great night and AJ was pretty good too. The old man must have loved the picture of the 2 red bull cars running 5th and 6th or somewhere areound there.
The reason I think JJ will be the teardown car is that at the beginning of the race they said the team messed with the weights in the car, so it did not make it through tech until a minute and a half before the race started, then on the first lap they black flagged it for messing with the weights. So I figured NASCAR would "randomly" pick that car tonight.

I'm still pretty sure Brian will be the random. Hubby mentioned something about the Officials saying that Chicago would be the last place for us.

Woo-Hoo!!! 5 digits
Rank 99,095
I have moved up something like 36,000 positions in the last two weeks.

As soon as you are done reading this, set your team for the Brickyard. You may have to click on "next race" to pull up the right race.

Scott, AJ was the random 4th weekend in a row... they ended up taking the car to their research facility. Hopefully this is the last weekend RBR gets targeted.

That is what got them in this mess to begin with.
Hopefully this is the last week. Hopefully everyone has learned what to do and what not to do.

Wow Kvapil burned a lot of people this week. What happened? He just got the Lucky Dog, and then I look up again, and he's 41st, what the heck?
Ignition problems I thought I heard?

AMEN!
I asked hubby what really went on and this is what he said.
First *randoms* was for Brian because he opened his mouth at the Officials. I can't remember how many *randoms* he was. Then in Sonoma AJ's engine technician or someone had said that the engine is going to blow and had asked the Officials about changing the motor. They asked to see what piece was failing and instead of doing that, AJ was instructed to drive as long as the motor blows... all of that over the radio that the Officials heard. That's why AJ has been the *random* starting Sonoma race. BS if you ask me. There is no *true random* as far as I see. If they don't have someone to pick on, that's what a true random would be.

Anybody kept will with Silly Season? Newman opting out for 09 from Penske. Wonder where he's going lol..... Childress confirming they will be running a 4th car for 2009. And Almirola being named full time for the 8 car.

It's ESPN this week, or do you mean the crapshoot broadcasting the ABC family of networks are?
I miss fox, everyone else sucks, and it definately means I don't watch as close, because I'm just annoyed at the announcers. And you can't turn it down b/c then you can't hear the cars!

That's because Mike Joy's been doing this for 30 years and knows how to control his co-hosts (Mac and DW). Squinty eyes or whatever the TNT/ESPN guy is that does it is a hack. I do prefer Kyle to DW's antics tho, and getting to see Lindsay Czarniak is nice
. Only if Fox would limit all their technical difficults. Every race, a camera dies, or the sound goofs, or the reporter is MIA, multiple times.

I'm probably biased, but it seemed like EVERY time their was a wreck or something happened TNT was shooting something else, and you'd have to wait and wait till they could show a replay and even then, it would be off centered or just a bad spot. The Fox camera people are just soo much better, Petty was a good addition, but I get ticked off that he isn't driving, I wonder how much that EATS him up...
To me what attacts me to fox more than anything else is they are just as giddy about the race as I am, they love it, the ABC and TNT get just too "professional" when I watch fox I feel like I'm watching the race with buddies and they love racing as much as I do.

Ruben, I agree with you. That is why I liked the good ole days before the network deal. Talk about a bunch of guys sitting around talking about racing.
Also the drivers were allowed to tell the other drivers what they really thought. The only problem was half the time I had no idea what channel the race was going to be on and had to search around for the race.
That was also why I liked the show "Inside Winston Cup" on Speed, 3 drivers and Alan Bestwick trying to talk about the race, but they easily go sidetracked. Now the show is just not the same. Dave Despane (sp?) is just too much of a gear head.

I agree! I'm sitting here working at the same time and haven't spent more than 5 minutes actively watching the race.
AJ is doing great though :)
