But if you don't think the Kennington family is partially funding DJs Busch effort I have a bridge I will sell you . My comparison to Truex is valid as Martin had other major sponsors as well .
I realize you would like to jump on any mistake I may make in posting but your going to have to choose your spots a little better. Posted by: Needforspeed003« on: June 06, 2007, 07:58:48 AM »Quote from: Pinecrest link=topic=6105.msg25563#msg25563 [/quote
you got another fact very mixed up MR Pinecrest D.J.'s Bush ride is not funded by his dad but by Dwight Kennedy of Northern Provincail Pipelines. Once again prof why none on this thread should belive aword you say . Posted by: DWfan4ever« on: June 06, 2007, 12:52:41 AM »My point was that some on this thread feel that DJ should not be racing to just get seat time. And I proved my point by saying that each of those drivers openly on camera said at new tracks when they were racing them just wanted to finish the event and complete as many laps as possible. Thus I made nothing up in regards to the comments made by the drivers, if you want I'll do some more research to provide you better examples since you didn't like my first 3. But that will have to wait till I'm back from Pocono this weekend.LOL
Posted by: AutoAssembler« on: June 06, 2007, 12:46:18 AM »I've been reading this thread for a while now, and in my honest opinion, coming to a track like Dover, as a rookie, in a car you don't personally own, the #1 goal for the race has to be to finish the race with the car in one piece. DJ did that, and finishing in the top 25, that is a great finish, and congratulations to him. I have to agree with you. It could very well be that one of the big teams could be looking for a driver down the road, and the name D. J. Kennington will stand out and he'll get a break! Heck maybe Shrub will walk away from his car again and DJ might happen to be there this time. You never know??? Posted by: Mobil1fan« on: June 05, 2007, 11:13:19 PM »Truex had more Grand National-style car experience by this point in his career than DJ did, though...
Posted by: Pinecrest« on: June 05, 2007, 11:07:07 PM »I wonder how many other drivers should not be racing according to a couple peoples opinion on here. As there is always drivers that show up to a track for the first time and they all say the same thing " I just want to finish the race and get as much seat time as possible". Based on the opinions of a few here that would mean the likes of Carl Edwards, Juan Paublo Montoya and the most recent Nextel winner Martin Truex Jr. don't deserve to be in the races either as they have all said the same thing, the biggest difference between them and DJ's effort is that they got in rides which were first rate. DWfan you and a few other posters on this thread really need to quit making things up to suit the story you would like to tell . First there has only been one poster on this thread who has been critical of DJs driving ability and that was JoeyW who I would very much like to distance myself from . Second Carl Edwards started out racing for Danny Bost and Mike Mittler which sure weren't first class rides and were not near as well funded as what DJ has now . Martin Truex Jr ran his first two years in stuff that would be comparable to DJ (used equipment) with backing from his father (like DJ) with the exception of of a one off ride in a James Finch car and it wasn't until his third year while still running with his own stuff that he got a shot in Dale Jr's Chance 2 operation that then lead to his DEI deal . Both Edwards and Truex showed signs of talent running in the top 10 several times when things like batteries going dead ignition boxes packed up and miscellaneous parts a pieces falling off slowed their progress. I am not even going to address your comparison to an Indy 500 winner and former F1 driver (Montoya) to DJ since that is just plain silly. Its still very early in DJs NASCAR career and the jury is still out on wether he will make it or not . I wish him lots of luck because its a tough road to hoe and you also need a little luck but lets keep the discussion factual.

I say go get'em DJ and give him some credit for trying to make improvements on his racing career, he's finishing better then some racers who get to run a lot longer seasons and better equipment.

News: NASCAR announced today that Robbie Wethington, crew chief of the No. 72 Dodge driven by D.J. Kennington in the NASCAR Busch Series, has been fined due to rule violations this past weekend at Dover International Speedway. Impact: Wethington was fined $1,000 for violating Sections 12-4-A (actions detrimental to stock car racing), 12-4-Q (car, car parts, components and/or equipment used that do not conform to NASCAR rules) and 20A-12.5D: offset hubs will not be permitted (rear) of the 2007 NASCAR Busch Series Rule Book. The infraction was discovered during pre-race inspection on May 31. (NASCAR PR) (Tue.

Should he be expected to win by 5 laps over the field? With his number of starts in the Busch-style cars (4 career now) and with the second-hand equipment he has, and considering what everyone else (specifically the cup-associated teams) have to work with, he's finishing about where he should be. I think he should've been closer to the lead lap at Dover, sure, but he's not doing too bad compared to some of the bigger-money teams. Everyone's got to start somewhere. Either your post was a really crappy attempt at satire, or you have no clue about racing at all...

Don't blame the equiptment don't blame incidents blame D.J for putting himself in that position time after time after time. "5 laps down at dover and its great that he finished" "good seat time" are you guys race fans or nut huggers.  ?Posted by: SR4384« on: June 05, 2007, 04:02:48 PM »I've been reading this thread for a while now, and in my honest opinion, coming to a track like Dover, as a rookie, in a car you don't personally own, the #1 goal for the race has to be to finish the race with the car in one piece.

Its far better to be known for bringing the car home in one piece and top 25 than bringing the car home in pieces and ticking off half the field. He's going about things the right way from a drivers point of view. |
