"They haven't made any adjustments to the 24 car". That's insane if true.

Don't like the 24's chances now. He's been terrible on restarts all year and if he gets mired back in traffic, it's over for him.

If he don't go past 5th he's still got a good chance.

Outstanding restart! Surprised me

He gone.

As long as there's no caution

Come on caution!

Roush confirmed the decision Sunday, a move that had long been expected but could not be substantiated because Edwards refuses to publicly discuss contract negotiations. He is believed to be headed to Joe Gibbs Racing in a new fourth car, but his contract with Roush does not permit him to announce his plans until September.

I'm all for it

Jeff is 10 wins away from breaking 100, think he gets it before retiring?

I think that drives him. He's still got many good years left. He hasn't faded after cracking 40 like many others.

Yes.

 

[gordonr24]

Next year's lineup at Roush is very sorry.

1. A washed up Biffle
2. Bayne who's still riding off his 500 win but hasn't shown much, even in nationwide
3. Stenhouse who has yet to find consistency


Ouch

 

[YankeeVol]

Bayne has done relatively well in the Nationwide.

 

[gordonr24]

My main point is Roush has fallen mightily.

 

[YankeeVol]

There's no arguing with that

Is the Brickyard no longer a big deal? From Twitter it looked like a ton of empty seats today.

Here's a good article on it.

Indy isn't a track made for stock cars but they race there anyway because of the track's prestige. The newness has worn off considerably.

Indy in '08 was probably the most embarrassing stunt I've seen at any sporting event ever.

 

[Nerd-Vol]

I missed that 08 race. Sounded like a hot mess.

What if they run the brickyard ever other year, or every four years? Possibly a night race?

I love that track, it sends a shiver down my spine whenever I see it. It is clear that the luster has worn off.

Check out the USGP 05. First F1 race I ever attended. Once again it was due to a tire issue.

 

[doozer]

I'd go again for a night race, otherwise I couldn't care less. And I'm one of the biggest IMS fans there is.

My dad quit caring about it after 1999.

Was that the year with all the tire problems?
