It happened a few years ago at Michigan.

With a 30% chance of rain on Sunday, I highly doubt it...

Whether you hate Kurt or not, you got to give him credit for a sense of humor. For that paint scheme and the stuffed animal alone, I'm rooting for him to win this weekend.

Anyone can be the fastest on a restrictor plate track. The practice sessions are really irrelevant as far as who will have the best chance of winning a race.

Busch's whole team is in on it, and everyone will play characters from the movie through the race weekend, even on radio communications.

Jeff Gordon has won the pole for tomorrow's Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway. Josh Wise really surprised me by qualifying 16th. Is he a start-and-park driver or not? I don't really know.

Originally maybe, but with the top 20 result at the Daytona 500 and 16th in qualifying they might do the whole race.

by Nascar9fan Sun May 06, 2012 8:28 am

Hope they can finish like this

Also, at Spannerhead's sig, Caruso drives the #34

and that will be a good thing because he could just forget about parking and just run the full race.

Any of you guys got predictions on when The Big One will happen and how many cars will be involved?

Lap 177, 18 cars.

Just like yesterday, on the first G-W-C, and only about 8 or 9 cars.

You know something else, wouldn't it be amazing if Dale Earnhardt Jr could break his winless streak today at a track he loves so much? Smile

This first part of this has happened before (2001, I believe was the last time). Not sure about the lead lap thing though.

I was at one of those caution free races (the first one in talladega history i believe). It was still a pretty good race, despite never getting a bathroom break, lol

by RyanB06 Sun May 06, 2012 2:11 pm

Forget no cautions...Josh Wise blew up.

but it's funny how Josh got the fastest lap then Start and Parked the car. Laughing

I wasn't sure. This last one I could recall was 2001. I figured I would be wrong.

No money. Simple as. They can't afford tires and fuel to run the whole race, or they need to preserve their parts.

I'd rather race in a lower tier series until I have the money to run full races in Cup than not race and just be a craptacular parkmobile.

I'd rather keep my pride, rather than embarrass myself by racing the 1-50 or so laps wherever you are running, then park it. Yeah, I get the advantages of it, but still, I could NEVER swallow my pride and do such a thing

Same here. He should've stayed in the Nationwide series for maybe this year and then have a shot at Sprint Cup glory in 2013, that way he won't have to start and park then.

Yes. Whenever he wasn't driving for JR Motorsports and Go Green Racing, which was about half the year. Actually, last year Wise finished 4th at Iowa for Jr, and then the following week start & parked for Curtis Key. Rolling Eyes
