Jebar's 2015 Nascar Thread

the 24 and the 18 wrecked in practice, have to go to backup cars, and will start at the tail of the field .... taken from this link at Jayski's where more info is available



"Polesitter #24-Jeff Gordon couldn't avoid hitting #10-Danica Patrick after she lost control of her car exiting Turn 2 in the closing minute of Happy Hour at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Saturday. "Danica spun out and we hit her," Gordon said. "Oh my (expletive) god," replied crew chief Alan Gustafson. "It shouldn't be too bad, just the right front," Gordon said. "Isn't she smart enough to know when (indiscernible) to watch out," Gustafson added. Gordon scored his 79th pole on Friday for the Kobalt 400. He was 14th on the speed chart after posting a lap of 185.306 mph. He was on stickers tires at the time when Patrick lost control of her car. "The right front fender is pretty bad," spotter Eddie D'Hondt said from above the track. "Gosh, darn it."
"We'll have to get a backup," Gustafson concluded. Gordon wasn't alone. David Ragan also had an issue and slapped the right rear of the #18 M&Ms Toyota. "Got in a little too high in the gray stuff," Ragan radioed to the crew. Ragan will also go to a backup car."

Looks like a good choice so far. Casey Kayne just took out one of my favorite drivers, Carl Edwards. Little pushing and shoving by both of them.

once again the 22 took off strong but has faded .... the 4 has been the class of the field for the last half of the race, congrats to Harvick and his team .... 78 has really had a good day as has the 31 .... the 88 was up front all day

Hard not to pick a guy that's been on a tear like he's on. I pick Harvick again for next week. Never quit while you're hot.
