Regan will be in the 5 next year fulltime with TaxSlayer at JRM.

Great news, looking forward to seeing how he performs next year. 👍

 

[Wilbur]

Now hopefully he can live up to Terry Lobonte's Legacy with that number 5 car.

It's Labonte and not cup series.

Sometimes?

Edit: Just when I thought Rick Allen couldn't be more awesome

QUICK SURVEY:
Who do you think will make the biggest impact in a new ride next year?
-Stenhouse to 17
-Logano to 22
-Kenseth to 20
-Busch to 78
-Smith to 5
-allmendinger to 51

Where do you think Elliot Sadler will go?

There's no question here, it's Kenseth to the 20. The 20 car was an iconic car in the Sprint Cup garage not even 5 years ago. With Logano in the seat, it's been a joke, and easily the weakest link in what should be a very powerful three-car JGR team. With Kenseth joining Hamlin and Busch, there's no reason that all three JGR cars shouldn't be able to share helpful information and put all three cars in the Chase for years to come.

 

[Wilbur]

Sadler will be at JGR in nationwide.

Rick Allen should totally do a rap record, it would still be better than 99% of the 🤬 that's out there now.

Everyone I know has loved it there but if you like the style of racing they have then it's a good place to go from a fans standpoint.

Only problem is, I'll be a Gordon fan in Earnhardt Country. Otherwise, it seems enjoyable. I'm getting more tempted to buy tickets as time passes.

Now I know that it may be a bit too early, but does anybody have any predictions for next year?

They already have a full drivers for next year if they get sponsorship. I think he is going to JGR.

On another note, I hope they are going to take the trucks top a road course and possibly eldora.

 

[GTPorsche]

Why are we making predictions on who is getting what ride when they are already confirmed?

It hasn't been confirmed where elliot will go. That's the only one we are making predictions on.

The new cars will make next year unpredictable. No one knows which team/manufacturer will get the lead in R&D.

Very true. Its almost a clean slate next year.

No Nationwide this weekend- just Trucks and Cup at Martinsville. NASCAR's shortest track is usually big on action. I'm not expecting the racing at Martinsville to be any different.


Good luck and best wishes to all teams and drivers competing this weekend at Martinsville and in other NASCAR series at other tracks.

 

[Chqr]

Johnson on Pole.

Hamlin in 5th.

BK, get this, is in 32nd.

I for one can't wait to see Kyle Busch put Newman in the wall.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I predict....new points leader by Sunday night.

I predict....new points leader by Sunday night.

Most definitely.

I remember Brad getting torn-up this time last year and of course Jimmie getting spun around this Spring.

This track is certainly a game-changer.

 

[The Bman]

There's 500 laps of racing, no need to panic about Johnson being on the pole.

 

[Adamgp]

BK has some wok to do Sunday. Some say BK may lose the championship this weekend because he struggles at Martinsville but I'm not so sure.

Remember the last race of the season is at Homestead, one of Johnson's worst tracks.

A picture of BK's car from the recent test at Phoenix.

If anyone happened to watch the truck race, what happened to Ty Dillon?

 

[CodeRedR51]

Just realized the rear quarter window on that thing is huge.

Pictures of this car have been out for a while and you just now noticed?

 

[GTPorsche]

I'm not exactly sure what the purpose of that picture is.....

It's not showing anything we haven't seen before.

 

[Jello18]

If anyone happened to watch the truck race, what happened to Ty Dillon?

He had a flat tire and something broke on his truck.

 

[Spacegoat]

Real pity for Ty. Looks like the truck championship is James Buescher's to lose now.

 

[Wilbur]

He had a flat tire and something broke on his truck.

Let me tell you the sound his truck made when it did hit the wall was pretty loud. It sounded like a bomb went off from a distance and I was in the pits in turn 1.

There were a few trucks pretty torn up after the race for sure and just about everyone had their rears pushed up.

 

[JohnBM01]

Denny Hamlin won in Trucks yesterday. There was a good battle late for 2nd that was won by Nelson Piquet Jr.

Now, it's time for Cup to take on Martinsville. Good luck to all teams and drivers. My only hope is that Mother Nature doesn't screw this one up with Hurricane Sandy out in the Atlantic.
