Oct 27, 2009 at 1:30 PMwhen is nascar ever going to stop taking Jimmie & Mark's back to the R & D center. But if they do get caught cheating, I hope its Jimmie and not Mark. That what costs JJ his 4th straight championship and Mark is there to win the championship finally.
Report as AbuseNascar is determined for Mark not to get his elusive championship after all these years. Even though should be used to by now. Nascar screwed once before and they are determined to do it again. No wonder why Mark doesnt want to talk championship just yet.
Cmon old man go win the championship that you so deserve

Oct 27, 2009 at 2:46 PMDon't think for a moment that nascar isn't feeding off this artificial PR with Jimmy and Marks cars being checked every week. The very best scenario, they think, is to actually find one or both illegal. They only see the headlines and not the potential drawbacks to the sport should that happen. Just more of nascar stinking up it's own show and they have become masters of that. Possibly the France family cleaning up it's own act is where the effort should be placed. The Barnum & Bailey show of the 21st century!

Oct 27, 2009 at 8:22 PMRight on 4Werner. All NASCAR is doing is parking the Hendrick cars in the lot while Hendrick makes another direct deposit into France's bank account..
Report as AbuseWhen NASCRAP did this to Nationwide they published HP ratings and instantly placed a restriction on the Toyota's..
Isn't it funny how nothing is mentioned about HP ratings in Sprint...Money talks...

Oct 28, 2009 at 4:49 AMYou are right ga20fan plus Hendrick is buds with France and wants the "headline" Hendrick is the only team to win four in a row.
Report as AbuseNASCAR is going to do what they want anyway.
They don't care that less people are watching their little phony chase..
Thank God, there is other sports to watch in place of the phony chase.
The only chase race I'll watch is this coming weekend..Next year, NOT going to any Sprint races at all, Just Nationwide since they are stillcars, not boxes with decals.
