Well, you think there's a few big name companies that aren't jealous of Lafayette Ford today? That was a really really impressive run by Travis Kvapil. Looks like a year out of the big leagues has really helped his focus, and I guess he & Todd Parrott have "clicked" as a driver/crew chief team. (Respectable run by Gilliland, too. Looks like the reports...

In looking at my previous RPG selections I've noted that KyBu has figgered in my top five on most every race, but this time I think he won't be there. Yup! At least I was wrong with conviction! I was amazed the KyBu's car held up to the punishment he doled out to it... he's an amazing kid... Top Five (in no particular order) Biffle - 0 Earnhardt...

The mods received this in e-mail from Megan (listpig). I don't know why it came to us as e-mail instead of as a post for approval: Hmm. I haven't turned on the tv yet today, but I'm grooving on my first year living where I can *hear* Pole Day out my window..... I'm going to go with Marco Andretti on this one, although I'd actually prefer Castroneves...

The lady in black started selecting her courtiers early in the first practice and several drivers will be starting in backup cars as a result. Including Jimmie Johnson who managed to also wreck - slightly - in his backup car. During the Nationwide race, I noticed that by lap 50 there were 11 cars in the garage and there had only been one wreck - a one...

Well, I RPG'd after the tire test that the race would be single file racing with little passing, periodically interrupted by crashes. I'm still not super optimistic, but after watching a bit of the Nationwide race I have some hope... The Win: I don't have a good idea on this one, so I'll stick with my recent theme and predict Greg Biffle to win from...

The Lady in Black is back and it doesn't look like new asphalt has done anything to temper her fury. In looking at my previous RPG selections I've noted that KyBu has figgered in my top five on most every race, but this time I think he won't be there. I'm going with "experienced hands" this week as I think the LIB will eat up the younger/aggressive...

I watched the NWS race at Darlington last night and thought it was a good one. I musta missed something tho'...... KyBu crashed out and during the post-crash interview he was whining that another driver (Keselowski?) didn't show him any respect and came down on him. I haven't replayed it yet, but I really didn't see anything untoward. Did KyBu really...

Winner: KuBu. Good qualifying. We're WAY overdue. Surely it's time to stop being snakebit.......please? Pretty please? With peanut butter and honey and cornflakes and bananas on it?? 1) Top Toy: Smoke 2) Top Ford: Hard call. Fords are abysmal in qualifying today. Gut says it's not Biff, though......but it doesn't feel like Cousin Carl, either. It's...

I bumped into this link thru Jayski and thought I would post it (especially for Marty) if anyone missed it..... * insiderracingnews . com /Writers/RG/050908.html Of course, God does not intervene in NASCAR races. If He did, the Dodge's would always win 'cause He is a Chrysler fan. Mike

6.1 - Why is rasnm moderated? Even though all Big 8 Usenet newsgroups have a Charter, in an unmoderated newsgroup there is no way to ensure that posts to the newsgroup abide by the Charter. Everyone is on the "honor system". Unfortunately, that oftentimes results in a newsgroup becoming a dumping ground for spam, profanity, off-topic posts, and (in the...

This would include, but is not limited to, advertisements of businesses, direct advertisements of goods ...

On April 1, 1994, the USENET newsgroup rec.autos.sport was divided into several racing-related groups - one of which was rec.autos.sport.nascar, or "rasn" as it became known to it's participants. On August 13, 1998 a second nascar-related USENET newsgroup (this group) was voted into existence: rec.autos.sport.nascar.moderated, or "rasnm". The rationale...

The registration process outlined in the charter for new posters wanting to get started posting to rec.autos.sport.nascar.moderated has been eliminated. Now, instead of having to register an agreement to abide by the charter, new posters simply have to post an article like they would to any other USENET newsgroup. The first post from any given e-mail...
