maybe the 39?Originally Posted by NicksTrix
I'm all about the #17 team....
SO I say Matt Kenseth for the win... Or any team but 48 & 24 will do
All right, then, I'll go to hell - Mark Twain
Stewart or Newman. Both of them were very strong in the all-star race.
This race is mostly about equipment/tuning, and Hendrick and Stewart-haas are the best at that in my opinion.
#721/ Open Novice M/C
Co-driver for Jeffrey Bros. Racing
Stewart-Haas Racing = Hendrick North
Hendrick engines and chassis', ex-Hendrick engineers as Crew Chiefs, access to Hendrick data = Hendrick 2
Don't get me wrong, Stewart-Haas is leaps and bounds better than last year, but look at what why that is. Proof is in the pudding. Plus, ole' Rick doesn't mind giving Tony the best equipment because just as it showed, the first person he thanked was Rick and Hendrick Motorsports after the All-Star win. Plus, he was handed a phone before he got out of the car at was talking to Rick!
Regardless, I'm gonna go with the 48 for the win.
yates racing= roush east. same engines, same chassis,same engineering, former roush crew chief... still can't get the job done. this also comes very much down to the guy holding the wheel and pushing the pedal to the right.
obviously tony & ryan can get up on the wheel and drive a smart race and it shows.
it takes a total package to be successful at this level of the game.
True, but the Roush satelite programs have never had real success, compared to Roush. RG has called out Jack in the past and said the only team Roush would share all of his info with is his own team and the results reflect that. Bobby Labonte is a former Cup Champion, no slouch by any stretch. While driver talent does play a legit role, If you are going to be a sattelite team of a Mega team, you need a Mega team that is willing to truly help you. From the results, it looks like Hendrick is willing to do so and Roush is not. Gibbs was the same way as Roush.
With that being said, I am sure Hendrick Motorpsorts recieved some kind nudging from GM since GM has a vested interest in TS having success. I am sure a Roush Satelite team would have similar success if Ford was serious about that team being a true contender.
RGF- there is so much that goes on behind closed doors that play into these things none of us know about.
from personality conflicts, egos- (driver, crew chief, engineers), power struggles and so on.
why would jack share his info with RG? there is bad blood there. sure he was using a engine out of his shop that year, but that was a ford deal, not his. that was never a A tier program to start with. RGM didn't have a roush chassis or body so what would it to do for him?
roush is sharing info with yates, he's got a vested interest in that deal for reasons easy enough to see. labonte is an ok driver, but really hasn't done anything in years. now paul,that is just another story..
look at the 26 car. all the same parts as the rest. still can't do it, 88 same way over at hms.
anyone catch nascars driver ratings for this week?
It's not nearly as short as the last race and if they decide to go 3 wide again, some good cars may get caught and out. I'm gonna look for the 48, 17, 18 and 14 to run strong all day
