I like Jr, but not a fan. Not a fan of Kyle Busch.

I agree. It seems as if even the apparent intentional wrecks are pawned off as "just hard racing". Wrecks make racing MUCH more interesting, so they aren't going to try to punish it extremely hard. They will come up with any excuse to make it OK.

Just reference JGR and "smoke"...he wrecked a lot of people in his day (for some reason he isn't wrecking people this year) and people just took it as hard racing.
There is a line between hard racing and wreckless driving...and Busch was wreckless.

I was talking about Stewart winning the Nationwide race, and Busch winning the Cup race. And yes, I realize that you don't consider Nationwide "real" racing

OHHH. Yeah, I don't watch the nationwide races. I see them as "the minor leagues" even though a lot of the Sprint series drivers race in it.
Is that even JGR when Stewart races in nationwide?

Besides, I am happy cause Gordon is in the chase right now (#10). He's had a good season, but some bad luck has had him looking up all season thus far.

Are you asking JGR dabbles in Craftsman Truck

As for the PM, Matty should be answering you soon. I don't know if he'll be back on tonight, so maybe tomorrow. Don't worry, we didn't ignore you or the situation.

OK, thank you.

JGR doesn't have any trucks...just cars. 3 Cup Cars, 2 Nationwide cars, and 2 kids driving in the "minors" (Late Model, etc).

I'm probably botching his name pretty bad, but doesn't Eric Almirola (sp?) race with JGR? I recall the #80 being a JGR car...but I could be wrong.

Aric. He used to, but I think he's with DEI now.

BDBohnzie · 05-14-2008, 09:21 AM

Yep. Aric Almirola is splitting time with Mark Martin in Junior's old ride. He finished 8th at Bristol this year...

Oh yeah...I forgot about that.
So what happened to the #80 car?
