NASCAR News With Attitude - - March 1st Edition

Complaint Department

How about it, Racefans, we have an additional member for the complaining NASCAR drivers association. By George, it's none other than Kevin "Happy" Harvick. Kevin says TOYOTA is ahead of everyone else on horsepower and we've only run two full Sprint Cup races ! I have to laugh out loud on that one! ! !
However he does join an illustrious group of whiners and complainers such as Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Kyle Busch, Robby Gordon just to name a few. I really can't wait to see what happens as the season progresses ! ! !

NASCAR GEAR - - - BUYERS BEWARE ! ! !

On Thursday, the U.S. District Court issued a preliminary injunction against producers of counterfeit merchandise.
Among the teams and drivers that joined NASCAR in the suit are Richard Childress Racing, Roush Fenway Racing, Joe Gibbs Racing, Hendrick Motorsports, Jeff Gordon, JR Motorsports, Rusty Wallace Inc., Penske Racing, Dale Earnhardt Incorporated, Gillett Evernham Motorsports, Red Bull Racing, Michael Waltrip Racing and Chip Ganassi Racing. NASCAR and/or teams occasionally file lawsuits in order to seize merchandise from unlicensed dealers.

WOW ! ! ! Six Crashes In The First Sprint Cup Practice

Patrick Carpentier Reed Sorenson
Sam Hornish Jr. Kasey Kahne
Juan Pablo Montoya Bobby Labonte
What was the car manufacturer? Dodge
How many foreign drivers? Three
May I suggest that Carpentier, Hornish Jr. and Montoya go back to where ever it is that they came from - - - and take Robbie Gordon with them ???

So Whose Going To Win @ Las Vegas Motor Speedway???

While I'm NOT a fan of Hendrick Motorsports, I'll have to say Jimmie Johnson. He has won here, what, the last four years??? I'm hoping that the "new car" and the bumpy track will be a big enough challenge to prevent him from winning but we will just have to wait and see. I'm picking Johnson or Jeff Gordon to win just to get them off of my "picks list" early in the season ! ! ! I'd really like to see "Happy" Harvick's predictions come true and see a big bad TOYOTA win the UAW-Dodge 400!!!

I'll see you at the racetrack ! ! !
