Nov 22, 2009 at 10:48 AMIt was neat to watch Carl come through the field after they fixed his air dam. It would have been fitting to see him punt the Bush on the last lap, but thats not Carls style. If the tables were turned you could bet your bottom dollar the Bush would have done it. Oh well theres always next year.Sorry Carl, but I would rather see you run a limited schedule in Nationwide. Not just you , but all cup drivers.

Nov 22, 2009 at 11:44 AMI don't think Carl got a championship in trucks because Roush needed a good driver when Jeff went over to Childress. After he was in cup a while he ran the nationwide and got the championship there. In the times when Carl was running trucks I didn't watch them much.Wish I had when I saw this young kid win a truck race and do a back flip. Big Rod Correct me if I'm wrong but I didn't think Carl got a truck championship.

Nov 23, 2009 at 2:08 AMYou are correct SHeeler. He hasn't run a full truck season. I WISH he did, I wish Mark had gone to truck when he was going to also. I think they both would win the Truck Championships. I was a Mark Martin fan, but also became a fan of Carl when I first saw him drive, win and do a backflip. Was KOOL.
