Duel at Daytona
« on: February 14, 2008, 03:33:42 PM »
Dale Jr. won the 1st Duel


Kenny Wallance and Brian Vickers(spin & "win" so to say)...as both of them "raced there way in"

Kurt Busch will use the champions provisonal due to engine problems

Tire's still look to be a bit of a problem many guys showing cords

Sadler eneded up in the turn-4 wall due to a tire going down.

Since Kurt uses the champions provisional Bill Elliott fails to make it.
Also means Dale Jarrett will have to race in.
Not much of a fan of his, but after what he went thru last year and being that its his last 500, I'm pulling for him in the second race.

The sad thing is, I'd take him over a TON of people "paying their dues" coming through the ranks...

 We will just have to agree to disagree on that one . I have always been big on that paying your dues thing .

There's a difference between what paying your dues was in the past and what it is now, when you actually moved up through all the ranks based on talent rather than backers. I'd take Villeneuve over guys like Steven Wallace, Kyle Krissilof and even someone like David Ragan, who 'paid their dues' but aren't very impressive behind the wheel. I'm sure there's a bunch of people around here who'd fit the same category, on a smaller scale...

 I think in the case of Steven Wallace and Kyle Krisloff its really more of a case of nepotism , but i get your point.

Still, they're shining examples of coming through the ranks (like people are 'supposed' to do), but also people who shouldn't be anywhere near the level of racing they're competing in...

I agree, I was listenning to him on the scanner, he started to get excited and let his crewchief know with about 10-15 laps to go, and was looking to his crewchief for help, prior to that his car was tight then got loose & tight, then a vibration developed! He was complaining that it was so tight & loose he couldn't handle it in the corners and was scraping the wall. I was surprised he went as far as he did, as this went on for about 10 laps before the tire let go. There was nothing the team could do at this point, if he had have pulled in for a tire, they would have gone a lap down and lost any chance of getting in for Sunday's race. As mentioned, man this was really unfortunate, his car was running great, Patrick was doing an awesome job driving it and his spotter and crewchief were working really well with him! Robbie Gordon was trying to help out in the draft as well. His spotter mentioned several times that Robbie woud work with him. Patrick is going to be a force to be wreckoned with before the season is finished this year! He's had me as a fan ever since his race in our old CASCAR series when he raced at Cayuga 2 years ago!

As I was Part of the Crew Patrick raced for when he raced CASCAR in 2006, It was heart breaking when his tire blew.(He doesn't have much luck with tires) But he will for sure be dominating once he starts to get the hang of things! He did an awesome job, and as much as he could to get into the race!
