Gonna try to do this for every Cup race from here on out...your start and park report, presented by Tom Delgado's new book "Racing Under the Influence of Fat". Out never.

19 - Mike Bliss (No idea if Plinker Tactical is bringing enough for them to run the distance.)
87 - Joe Nemechek (We all thought they were parking the 500, but they had a legit engine failure. This week, no legitimacy at all. GTFO NEMCO-Robinson trash.)

Questionable S&P's...

44 - Scott Riggs (I've heard they won't park, but nothing surprises me from the low-end teams anymore.)
95 - Scott Speed (Announcement sometime this week, could be sponsorship. For now, I say the chances of this team parking are 50/50.)

I have no clue...

35 - Josh Wise (Only listed because I'm so used to seeing him park Front Row's 3rd car. If Blockbuster's sticking around, I'm guessing they don't park.)

Feel free to point me in directions which clarify the statuses of these potential parkmobiles

I don't think Speed will start & park. He has TeaZe Energy as an associate sponsor and I don't think they want to park anymore plus Speed said via twitter they have an announcement coming this week. I'm thinking it's DISH Network coming on board for more races.

This is where we will see truly how the new car performs.

I'll take him off the list when I see the announcement. Hopefully Dish Network does come on board for them

AWWWWW YEAHHH WE GETTING XTTTREEEEMMMMMEEEE UP IN HERE!

This should be their warm up routine

1.) Landon Cassil is driving the #33 Pukemobile with sponsorship from Moonshine Attatude attire (If you saw the car you know why i called it a pukemobile)

2.) I'd put the #30 in the Questionable section. Seems they have in-house funding.....that never works.

The 30 will not start & park. The owner that took the team has stated numerous times they won't start & park. Plus they have a lot of associate sponsors to go along with it.

And yeah, that 33 is..uh, it's something...that's for sure.

EDIT: This may come as a shock, especially after their top 10 last week but Phil Parsons' 98 car driven by Michael McDowell has withdrawn from the race. This now means nobody will DNQ.

Still says Austin Dillon on the entry list.

All of the media members tweeting it and NASCAR sent out a tweet saying it as well.

Maybe Phil took the high road and decided to run a limited schedule instead of S&Ping for 90% of the races.

What is up with the numbers there on the side (like the 1/36 or 43/16 or such?)

PYLrulz wrote:What is up with the numbers there on the side (like the 1/36 or 43/16 or such?)

The car's rank in owner's points and number of attempts from last season.

PYLrulz wrote:What is up with the numbers there on the side (like the 1/36 or 43/16 or such?)

Left number: Owner points position
Right number: Number of races attempted last year

So Scott Riggs finished 1st in owner points and ran 56 races last season? Looks like XXXTreme might just win this one.

Then again, that's quite an advantage when you run 20 more races than everyone else

>Danica 40th

>Mears 43rd

Well... JGR's engineers are going to get a BIG Talk
Busch & Hamlin to the rear for engine changes
4 engine related problems in 2 races...

FOX Sports' coverage just referred to Danica as "Dominant Danica". It would be hilarious if it weren't for the fact that they were serious.

Kyle Busch is moving to the rear of the field after an engine change.

XTREMMMMEEE

A further update.

Four cars to the rear: No. 11 Denny Hamlin (engine); No. 18 Kyle Busch (engine); No. 30 David Stremme (transmission); No. 78 Kurt Busch (backup). Kyle Busch and Hamlin were both to start top 10.

Anyone else see the #95 "Pirate" car? Pure, unfiltered awesomeness.

XXXTREMEEEEEEEEEEE

Brian Baumgartner's command to start your engines was awesome! It kind of reminded me of Kevin James when he did it!

SCOTT RIGGS DECIDED TO BE XXXXXXXXXXTREME

Well, so more for the XTreme!!! team...

SCOTT RIGGS IS SO XXXTTTRRREEEMMMEE THAT HE ATTACKED THE WALL AND CAUGHT ON FIRE. XXXTTTRRREEEMMMEE

I guess Scott Riggs wanted to make his 2013 debut XXXTreme...

Kasey Kahne is on a mission. That car is looking awesome.

I like how my favourite driver Dale Jr and my Dice Roll for this week Kurt Busch are running in the Top-10, cos' I thought Kurt's weekend was done and over after qualifying.

Green-white-checkered. This should be good.

After the kind of week he had at Daytona, Carl Edwards needed that win.

Very much needed by Edwards, especially after wrecking 5 cars since January.
Great battle to the finish by Johnson, Keselowski, and Hamlin. No idea how Hamlin made it stick in 3. I'd say it was an alright race, it had some good racing at times, but got boring at others.

Meh race. First 100 laps were pretty good and then was absolutely lackluster to the end of the race.

Edwards wins. Pit stops pretty much gave him the win on this one.

Hoping Gen-6 can get a good race out of it. First 2 races have been very bleh.

Pretty decent race. Good finish. Good win by Carl.

I'll give this race a 6.5/10.

Kind of a bittersweet pill for me this weekend. Glad to see Carl win again, but the fact that he was my original pick for Rolling the Dice before I was forced to re-roll for rolling too early leaves me feeling somewhat uneasy .

I have to say, that was a pretty solid race. Overall good racing, and a great finish. Hopefully this keeps up for the rest of the year.\

Good to see Carl break his streak too.

Great win for Carl Edwards...
Also Burton in 10th & AJ Allmindigner in 11th!

The race was meh, but the new car is actually pretty good, though Vegas is going to be probably the true test for this car.

I laugh at Jimmie Johnson for bitching about Edwards and those two restarts.

Dominant performance by Danica.

Agreed. Simply masterful.

Great win for Carl based on what I heard.
Glad to see him in victory lanr
