Nobody wanna give the Nascar newbie a drive?
I am still however looking for a full time ride in either sprint or nationwide.
Ya if anyone wants to sign me to a full schedule in either sprint or nationwide that would be great I would love to. Whenever I show up I compete really well. You will have to cut me some slack I will be back to my normal router and internet provider soon. My PS3 is with me at my moms for now but when I get back to my normal router I will be ready to come after the championship no matter what I'm doing.

Oohh... welcome. With carb I take it?
MÜLE_9242Paul (and anyone else without a seat so far), this Saturday's race at Nurb, I'm sure there will be free slots, so you can just show up in any car as a sort of "tryout" to show what you've got to the owners.
I thought I did that last season
MustangRyanJames, I'm going to be brutally honest with you for just a minute. Yes, you did sign up for last season. But, you only showed up to drive on time just once out of the 12 scheduled races. When you did show up, you finished 11th out of 15 drivers at Indy. You got last-place points for showing up after the Madrid race had already started. You missed a lot of races when you were supposed to be there, and that worries car owners. The worst thing for a car owner is to have a guy that doesn't show up for races when he was supposed to, because then the owners have to scramble to find a replacement on very short notice or run the race for their own team, because they don't want to lose a chance to earn points.
With the number of Nationwide drivers that just moved up to the Sprint Cup, the Nationwide fields are going to be even harder to reliably fill, so drivers that show up every week are at a premium. You'll definitely get a seat if you show up every week, but it might not be the same one every week. You need to show the car owners that you are willing to make a commitment to running full-time in the series before you can expect a car owner to make a commitment to you.
Well I'm running 2 teams in the continental tire series and 1 team in the rolex series so I know what It's like to scramble for a driver on a days notice so I will be way better this season and I know I was terrible last season just trust me when I say I'm gonna be 2x better this season
kenkwilinskiQuestion for MULE,
Whats the point of giving a bonus point for qualifying if we can't use qualifying setups. And you are writing the Q times down anyway and we have a formation lap. So why can't we use a qualiy setup? You are going to re-form the grid on the pre-race pace laps. Just doesn't make sense to me. And I also have awesome quali tunes that I worked on in SC. They were pretty good, I usually came 3rd-5th in quali in SC. So I would expect a 2nd in NW quali. This definitely takes away lots of work I put into my tunes. I just don't see the reasoning in eliminating quali tunes?
For the full time guys I did low 1:32s but I'd guess 31s/30s would be pole time .
I was right . Could probs get into mid 31s though .
