Please join us a follower on the sidebar, then I think you won't need for us to approve your comments. But thanks for reading us and leaving comments.<br />Yeah, glad Jimmy wasn't hurt but it was nice to see him have some bad luck. I'm looking forward to someone new winning the title this year. And my 3 fav drivers (4, 43, 9) all finished in the top 10. I am sick of the aero push these cars have though.Zebsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684616018807468693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717561.post-80394640444483588232011-10-16T14:46:02.024-04:002011-10-16T14:46:02.024-04:00mui posted a comment yesterday thanking the board ...mui posted a comment yesterday thanking the board for the answer, but i guess it got lost in the shuffle, anyway thanks again.<br />wasn't that a couple days of great racing, glad jimmy didn't get hurt last night, and i sure wish jr. would pick up a race.dasnakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10175877438189333237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717561.post-20672164195889568852011-10-15T11:07:10.009-04:002011-10-15T11:07:10.009-04:00She makes a flat fee from the owner since it was a...She makes a flat fee from the owner since it was a start and park car. No bonuses would apply.<br /><br />The owner would get paid according to the position that the car finished in. And if at the start of the season the owner has a couple of wrecked cars, he starts to feel the financial squeeze. So, he figures that he can get a quick couple of grand easy by having his car run 5 or 10 laps. Come in and park and have NASCAR cut him a check.Brenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05471510250599641166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717561.post-85794419809075470542011-10-14T20:09:47.832-04:002011-10-14T20:09:47.832-04:00i don't understand why it's there, i remem...i don't understand why it's there, i remember the cobb race and her statement she bought her own tires, don't they make x amount of dollars for every lap they turn, or is it just a flat fee for showing up and starting?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717561.post-73823432922878796452011-08-28T00:14:30.044-04:002011-08-28T00:14:30.044-04:00i personally don't have a problem with start a...i personally don't have a problem with start and park drivers and owners. if a team wants to start and park in order to one day race the full race then they should be allowed to do so. no one should be allowed to pick and choose who should be in the based on their intentions. if they are fast enough to make the show then they should be allowed to take the green flagBJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717561.post-35772054570331955182011-03-23T14:43:15.737-04:002011-03-23T14:43:15.737-04:00I too have been a fan since the early 70s, growing...I too have been a fan since the early 70s, growing up a half hour from 2 tracks; and while I can sympethize with these owners, you're absolutely right. At the very least if a car is going to attempt to run the whole race, they get to qualify ahead of the cars that won't.<br />Hey Brent, would love to see a blog or two about your memories going to races growing up and, of course, if you go to any in the future.Zebsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684616018807468693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29717561.post-18128820179195793162011-03-20T01:47:10.857-04:002011-03-20T01:47:10.857-04:00I read about this earlier this evening and it make...I read about this earlier this evening and it makes me sick. Jennifer Jo Cobb showed a lot of guts by standing up for her principles. She's also too talented of a racer to be a "start and park" driver. I expect that from the likes of Dave Blaney or other drivers just drawing a paycheck for NOT racing.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02941556434545660076noreply@blogger.com
