That is why there was no talk about Crusty Wallace, because we are talking about racing. LOL [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
I don't think Crusty will continue his streak this year.

 

LOL, I had to think about that for a second and finally my slow mode brain processor finally switched to the right spot. I always have been a good swimmer.

i JUST GOT THE MENTAL PICTURE OF THAT. LOL

 

I forgot about that. Didn't they have the cars stopped on the track and he got out and pulled on the fender? Track official ran over and stopped him from further wrenching.

So yes, Sterling Marlin can wrench.

Wasn't that the first race of this year? Daytona?

 

Rusty is my favorite driver actually, I am glad he is switching to Dodge next year since I own a dodge and have a #2 sticker on the back, and I like them more than the Ford's.

 

Yea that was this years daytona. That was great. Dale sr. did the same thing one, he got out to clean his windshield off under a red flag. That was Sterlings defense about doing it.

 

I thought it was last year sometime. Daytona is going to be here again before you know it.

How would you like to have those guys’ schedules? They get a week off in November, off December and then start testing in January for Daytona. AAAWWWW.... What am I say this are doing what they love for a living. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

But I bet sometimes they wish they just had a regular job... One thing I have learned in my “post adolescent” (to hard to say adult) years is that the grass is not always greener on the other side, but it doesn't hurt to hop over and take a look around every once in awhile.

 

OK, The IRL has naturaly asperated engines that are rev limited & only runs on ovals, It's basicly a spec series.

CART has turbo engines, runs on ovals, natural terrain road courses, & temporary street courses. It's The premier open wheel series.

Tony George (AKA The Devil) Wanted control in CART & was voted down. He got mad & started the IRL.
The first year he restricted most of the Indy 500 field to IRL teams & this split American open wheel racing in two.

CART has made several overtures to IRL to get open wheel racing back together but Tony "the a$$hole" George has always said it's my way or the highway.

Excuse my rantings but I love open wheeled racing & the CART/ IRL split has hurt both series bad. Attendance is way down & costs have gone up.
CART was the fastest most compeditive open wheel serirs on the planet. The split has caused teams to split, engine manufactures to leave both series & sponsers to stay away.
