Race of the Weekend. Calling it now.

Entry List?

by BWard Mon Apr 29, 2013 2:31 am

Tbh, I'm kinda fearing someone is gonna get killed in this race, considering the drama we saw in the season opener at Daytona.

Freak accidents happen all the time.

I also Have a Feeling That Some Backmarker Like Bowman or Nemechek or Jeffery Earnherdt is gonna win this.

Are we watching the same series? Cause last time I checked, Bowman isn't a backmarker.

well a non cup guy or a non former cup guy(vickers, Hornish, Sadler).

This could be a fantastic race. As Eric McClure and Robert Richardson demonstrated at Daytona this year, some of the minnows can run up front at the superspeedways. But it could also be a very dangerous race. Michael Annett and Eric McClure had awful close calls.

The fence has been updated, so no fan casualties. The drivers though, tough call...

David Green is back!

by BWard Mon Apr 29, 2013 5:12 pm

From why I've heard, I believe Kurt Busch is running a retro Neil Bonnett car for Phoenix Racing this weekend at Talladega.

by SpiderTre Mon Apr 29, 2013 5:49 pm

cool to see Johanna has a possible drafting partner in David Green (if he doesn't park) but... who's gonna be Jo's spotter if Green is racing?

by Alta Mon Apr 29, 2013 6:16 pm

Well i'll be referencing a P.O.D. song all week. BOOM HERE COMES THE BOOM, READY OR NOT HERE COMES THE GREEN FROM THE DAVID

Pretty sure he did the same stuff without Monster.

by Backmarker Tue Apr 30, 2013 7:00 am

All of the Motorsports Group cars (except for the 40), and the #27 car have been withdrawn. David Green has moved to the the #00, and Jason White has been moved to the #24.

by AntmanB Tue Apr 30, 2013 7:23 am

Stuntman Stanton Barrett has returned too!

He returned last week, with a DNQ.

by LadyKathy Tue Apr 30, 2013 5:45 pm

i think kyle is skipping dega because he thinks someone'll get killed *it's my theory, and i'll stand by it*

by Alpineopossum Tue Apr 30, 2013 6:18 pm

I think that could be why. He doesn't want to risk a season ending injury.

by f1fan12 Tue Apr 30, 2013 6:27 pm

Injuries, who said anything about anyone getting injured?

by Alta Tue Apr 30, 2013 7:10 pm

Alpineopossum wrote:I think that could be why. He doesn't want to risk a season ending injury.

I don't know what's more sad, The fact that Kyle Busch is wimping out Mike Conway style cause of a meanie superspeedway race that won't stop him from running the rest of the Nationwide season, Or the fact that Nascar has come to the point of danger again where people are scared to race.

Call me a hater but i choose Kyle bitching out.

by RealRacer4 Tue Apr 30, 2013 7:25 pm

I'm going to pass the conspiracy theory stuff and just say that he just wants to give someone a chance to race, but that's just me.

Also, Blake Koch just said on Facebook that he currently has no ride for this weekend.

by flyingturns89 Wed May 01, 2013 8:43 am

Surprised no one else noticed that we have two Dodges on the entry list. Harmon and Shepherd are both running a Dodge.

Why does everyone now think Superspeedways are deathtraps? Granted we saw McClure wreck in a freak crash last season, And Daytona was just strange. But does that mean someone is going to get killed? Heck, I honestly would be suprised if there is another injury this week.

It's also because of the new cars, they're faster than last year... Annett had what looked like a harmless crash, he ended with a broken bone (idk what is it called)

I agree with this, they are overreacting. Any other driver would have walked away from McClure's wreck ok. McClure just happens to be made from Porcelain.

They both did at Daytona as well, though I can't remember if Shepherd DNQ'ed or not.

Oh really? Then explain why Michael Annett has a broken sternum. Neutral

Point taken.

by Alta Wed May 01, 2013 5:47 pm

Seems like these cars are weak on protection from frontal collisions, which is ironic since the last person in Nascar to die was from a front collision and this is what they've been trying to avoid.

Yes he did, as well as every race he's attempted this season.

Dexter Stacey is out with a concussion that he received at Richmond last week; Tim Andrews will be replacing him in the #92.

Travis Pastrana won the pole. Yes. Travis Pastrana. Stanton Barrett and John Wes Townley are the DNQ's after JWT failed post qualifying inspection for the second time this weekend. Tim Andrews is the beneficiary.

by Metro 6r4 Fri May 03, 2013 4:16 pm

What the hell's going on with the qualifying here. First Milk n, Donuts on pole for ARCA and now Travis Banana. Razz

Duno and Pastrana...WAT

Labonte's winning cup pole.

Good for Pastrana. Hope he gets a great finish

by Backmarker Fri May 03, 2013 8:12 pm

Townley and his Zaxby's sponsorship have moved over to the #10 car, so for once that car won't be finishing last...

by BWard Sat May 04, 2013 2:16 pm

Is it still raining at Talladega right now? Because if it is, they might have to postpone the Nationwide Race until probably tomorrow morning.
