Joe Nemechek will dominate the poles this year.

Assuming Dale Jr wins poles every year.

Oh yeah, forgot about his shootout win lol

Yea, but it's been that way for a while now. Which is the very reason those conspirators have a big fat hole in that theory. He is still eligible under that rule from his '03 win. He also would have been eligible this year from his pole at Daytona last year, even without his '08 win.

Anybody who thinks that NASCAR is changing the shootout rules every year are just butthurt Jr. haters.

Best Buy Racing has announced they are running 2 Ford Fiesta's in the Global Rallycross Championship..One for Marcus Gronholm and one for David Binks.

This is awesome:

Lotus sponsored Rebellion Lola Toyota.

Toomas Heikkinen is coming to Global Rallycross in yet another OMSE Ford Fiesta..That brings us to atleast 5 OMSE Fords. Gronholm, Binks, Heikkinen, Foust, Deegan.

Ken Block will also be in a Ford.

64 cars entered for the 12 Hours of Sebring. Epic.

Well..Lets get back to some good racing news..Its a big week of racing next weeekend. We will get live..For the first time, V8 Supercar qualifying will be live.

Also, On both saturday and sunday we will get alteast 3 support races each day. Including the Dunlop V8 Supercars (Feeder Series), Historical Touring Cars, V8 Utes, and Aussie Racing Cars.

Johanna Long is on the Nationwide entry list for Phoenix, but the team said in its post Daytona report that their next race is Vegas, and that is backed up by their race schedule on their site. I'm just hoping they can get enough funding to run her for the full season, because she had a good start...

I currently have 23 more points than 5 time sprint cup champion Jimmie Johnson.

As do I.

Dang, pretty big penalty there. Its the 2nd time thats happened now hasn't it? lol. Pretty damn harsh.

Well, this would be the second time he's been suspended I believe, obviously NASCAR's not taking the first one for granted.

lmao negative points

Hopefully someone posts the Inside NASCAR clip of Danica raging, just finished watching it on showtime, was funnier than hell.

Seems NASCAR has gone full retard shutting down videos on YouTube.

MotorsportCentral who hosted a ton of NASCAR videos on his channel no longer exists as of yesterday and MT89Motorsports has all of his NASCAR videos set to Private. There were also a shitload of streams being shut down during SpeedWeeks.

They're officiall going FOM on us it seems.
