He did it for Danica.

Haha. That tumble down the banking should be Ricky's new Sprint Cup victory celebration.

"yeah, is it weird seeing me in this suit" Boooyaa!

Truck at Rockingham on Sunday.

Awesome.
Checking out the entry list, looks like Larson will be pulling double duty this weekend. Bill's boy and high-school hero Erik Jones are back for more.
Also, Joey Logano is running Keslowski's ride. I expect he's there to recoup some of the lunch-money that will be stolen from him come Saturday.

I also see Dale Jr amongst the swarm of Cup regulars polluting the Nationwide race.

Nice little link if you're looking for more info... Texas and Rockingham Viewer's Guide

Rocking Ham should be a fun little race. Trucks are turning out really entertaining this year. Lots of promising rook-ees.

Great find .

I always thought Stenhouse was a bit chubby, that backflip was quite impressive.

[wacktifosi]

Relax fellas.

How about we all enjoy some nice Smokin’ Hubcaps and wash those down with some Bacon Cotton Candy Martinis?

Sound good?

Of course it doesn't.

[Dilla]

How about we all enjoy some nice Smokin’ Hubcaps

Reminds me of The Luther.



Anyway, Regan Smith fastest in first NW practice. Piquet way back in 20th.

[V3TT3L]

Kyle, the larsoner will ride Piquet's #30 Truck at Rockingham.

[Cool Beans]

Some more of this? At first I thought this was a photoshop and laughed I can feel my brain cells dying just looking at this.

The thread has been tidied up and posts removed and edited. This forum is for discussing motorsport, you want to discuss the politics of the gun debate there are numerous threads in Paddock Club.

[Ross Stonefeld]

Though try telling that to the sponsors.

Joe Nemechek/87 has picked up http://www.atigunstocks.com/1-home for this weekend and Clint Bowyer/15 is promoting Gander Mountain's gun safety efforts.

[OfficeLinebacker]

There's a pic around of him doing a handstand on a pair of trophies. There's no doubt he's very athletic.

Looking forward to hear the guys in the booth calling out "the official gun of NASCAR - no other gun makes a headshot quite this satisfying!"

[gm914]

Cousin Carl will be back in the ESPN booth for tonight's Nationwide race. I think he's pretty good at it, I enjoy his insights and he seems comfortable up there.

And Travis Pastrana will be the in-race reporter. Should be enjoyable, if his exuberant radio chatter at Daytona is anything to go by.

[Deluxx]

I'm not really sure what kind of press Nascar is going to get from this sponsor. If anything it's going to be like this thread and everyones going to argue random stuff about it.


*ahem* What time is NW race on tonight? I'm not by my pc

[gm914]

Meh, I'm not touching this NRA stuff. Good racing is all I care about this weekend.

Deluxx- coverage for NNS begins at 8pm/ET, green flag at approx 8:47pm/ET. Quals at 5pm/ET

But NASCAR spokesman David Higdon released a statement that indicated the timing of a sponsorship and the perception of NASCAR will be used to determine whether to approve race sponsorships in the future.

"The NRA's sponsorship of the event at Texas Motor Speedway fit within existing parameters that NASCAR affords tracks in securing partnerships," the NASCAR statement said.

"However, this situation has made it clear that we need to take a closer look at our approval process moving forward, as current circumstances need to be factored in when making decisions."

While there could be a perception that NASCAR is endorsing the NRA's political platform, NASCAR said that is not the case.

"NASCAR has no official position on the gun rights debate," the NASCAR statement said. "Our fans, racing teams and industry partners come from all walks of life and thus have varying points of views and opinions.

"As a sport, we are in the business of bringing people together for entertainment, not political debate."

Ahh, NASCAR is 'reviewing' something. Bless them.

And I agree, NASCAR has *never* been political. Apart from the time Romney rained out two races.

[SR388]

Let's just go racin. Texas is a crazy state and having the NRA does not surprise me.

[gm914]

Regan Smith fastest in both NNS practice sessions. Is anyone out there actually a Regan Smith fan?

DP: I'm you fan

[Myrvold]

Fan? Well, I'd rather see some other drivers win before him, but I really hope he does well, it was great seeing him in the 2011 season!

[Deluxx]

Anyone know why the trucks are on Sunday this week?

btw JP won't be in the thread probably for the race due to a previous engagement with Kyle Busch's lawyers.

Trucks are at Rockingham, NC, which makes them the odd man out. Both the Cup and Nationwide are in Texas during nights with the next days being normally available for people to travel home. NASCAR admin might not be the most astute bunch but they do have enough sense to not compete against itself.

Well wherever he is, he's definitely thinking about NASCAR. Kevin Harvick just blew an engine in practice and will start from the back.

Thanks, Jp!

[gm914]

Nice practice session for RPM there, the guys looked fast. Ambrose 1st Almirola 3rd.
Someone must have told JPM he'd be driving for Menard or a shuttle at Orlando Disneyworld next year. He was sixth fastest.

[Deluxx]

Please let that be an omen for his Quali speed...

[Deluxx]

Rofl that painscheme. Looks like a tub of mayo

[gm914]

I guess I missed the announcement that Jeffrey Earnhardt will be driving for the family team at the Richmond NNS race.
Hope he does well.

[Dilla]

I'm surprised it took so long for that to happen, honestly.

[gm914]

Rookie of the Year contender Alex Bowman locks in his first career pole!
Piquet in a wtf 19th.

[X61]

Great job by Alex Bowman, made even sweeter by the fact that he knocked Kyle Busch off the pole .

[gm914]

According to his twitter he is really sick, and has had to take a couple trips to the infield care center to get some fluids pumped into him. Then he sets the pole!
I like this kid's drive.

Yeah he sounded rather lousy talking to ESPN after his run, hopefully he has time to head over to the infield care center again before the race. I'm already dreading the predictable 'the best place for a sick driver is in the cockpit' comments throughout the entire race.

[Yhamm]

when is nationwide green flag? in 1h30?

Yessir

Tony the ass pincher is back at it. This time Jack Roush is the victim.

Speaking of that, Motors Tv isnt showing the race live, seems like late evenings are reserved for boats.

[GustavoB]

Piquet Jr. is strugling big time this year.....

[Yhamm]

yeah, too few viewers to broadcast it live, will be tomorrow at 19h~ CEST
And I think I'll watch it tomorrow too, too tired to wait 1 more hour -_-

[gm914]

See Watkins? Even Kurt doesn't like Kyle.
Kyle breaks the track record and pushes Brother Kurt off the top spot after his amazing run in the Furniture Row #78.
RPM look solid with Aric 3rd and Ambrose 4th.

Danica 41st.

[X61]

I know I'm probably the only Kurt Busch fan in existence, but it's great to see him starting on the front row tomorrow . If only something would slow down his damn brother.

[gm914]

I like Kurt plenty and want to see him win. Kyle though....
