Reutimann to replace Kurt Busch at Pocono

Team owner Finch will meet with suspended driver about his future

This just about says it all, but the link to the rest of the article follows James's comment.

The discusion on RaceHub from that clip answered my question of Kurt possibly going to Joe Gibbs next year.. NOT on your life now according to J.R. Gibbs due to non-race attitude by Kurt.. Larry Mac said he thinks Kurt should be made to go to Pocono and watch someone else drive his car there.. Larry Mac thinks that affected Kyle's attitude this year when he sat on a racebox and watched someone else drive his car last year..

Joe Gibbs seems to be a very good man, but even he can't handle TWO BUSCH'S. LOL He'd have a heart attack.

Yep, no way. I don't even know if Finch will give him a chance, but if he does, it will be one and one chance only.

I think maybe he can get one of the political parties to hire him to drive. They all run their mouths anyway. He'd be a good spokesman for any of them. And they have Billions they stole from the TAXPAYERS! Or they can write a new bill to help the Toilet industry and slide that shit right through....

A good fit. A jerk with thieves.......

R.I.P. Cotton Owens...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - NASCAR Hall of Famer Cotton Owens died Thursday morning, June 7, 2012. He was 88.

Kimberly Meesters of the NASCAR Hall of Fame confirmed Owens passing through his family. Meesters only said Owens died peacefully. She says there would be additional details this afternoon.

Owens, who lived in Spartanburg, was a NASCAR pioneer who was part of the Hall's class of 2013, announced two weeks ago in Charlotte. He'll be inducted along with Rusty Wallace, Leonard Wood and the late Buck Baker and Herb Thomas.

Owens won nine times on NASCAR's top circuit. He was perhaps better known as an owner, fielding cars for Hall of Fame drivers like Junior Johnson and David Pearson. In all, Owens had 41 wins and 38 poles in 487 races as an owner.

Great race today. Congrats to Joey Logano for capitalizing on Mark's slip in Turn 3 and moving him out of the way in Turn 1. Mark wasn't happy about it, but as he said, "It has been acceptable in this sport for a long time. It's not the way I would have done it and if I could have had a car fast enough to get back to him, I would have returned the favor." (Not a perfect quote from the Post Race interview, but very close.) That was the harshest thing Mark had to say about it either time he spoke after the race and he was very disappointed he didn't hold him off after making the Bonsai Pass on the last restart. He said on the one before he took it to the limit and was three feet short, and on the last one he went over the limit and was willing to crash, but "I didn't."

Good job Mark, you just got real hungry again didn't you??????? Today his fire returned. I saw it from the beginning of the race. The last pass on him with the bump and run just added to it. He had been lifting at times a little too much, he won't lift at Michigan next week.......

Beat by another driver you made it happen for....Damn Mark, all these guys you helped get here just keep winning.........That is why you have been and are the Man. You do more and care more for the other guys more than any driver out there, and you always have.

Thanks for being that way. But I have told you that before haven't I?

Well, well, well. Little E finally wins another one after 4 years. Last year and the year before he was awful and NOT in the game at all. But this year, he has been impressive and taken what the car has had for him.

Congratulations Dale Jr. You and the Team have worked hard for it. This year you have finally become a real driver, NOT just a Plate Racer. Who knows??????
