  1. Re: Monster buck killed in WI!! I hope the woman was not hurt.
  2. Re: Robby\'s Gone (Kind of) I don't think Kerry will get it, yet. He needs to get some more experience in Busch first. I hope RC gets some one that is experienced and can fit in with Jeff & Kevin and make a cohesive team out of them. Don't think Sauter will be the one.
  3. It's official: Robby won't return to RCR October 26, 2004 01:32 PM EDT (17:32 GMT) Richard Childress Racing and Robby Gordon will part ways at the conclusion of the 2004 season, with Gordon stepping up to the ranks of NASCAR Cup Series ownership in 2005. "Several months ago Robby told me that his goals included running his own NASCAR Cup Series team," said Richard Childress, president and CEO of Richard Childress Racing. "He has won three points races, a qualifying race at Daytona and has had a lot of good runs for RCR since 2001, but sometimes change is good. "Robby is a true racer and I will always be grateful to him for what we've been able to accomplish together and for the positive things he brought to our organization. "I've always said that Robby is one of the most talented drivers out there and he has always gone above and beyond for our sponsors. "I'm sure Robby will do just fine on his own. His Busch cars run good every week and I'm sure he can translate some of that success to the Cup Series. I wish him only the best." Gordon has earned three victories, eight top-five and 23 top-10 finishes in 114 races with RCR. He also won one of the Gatorade 125 qualifying races at Daytona International Speedway in 2003. He's currently 23rd in the NASCAR Cup Series point standings. "Driving for RCR has been an incredible honor and is an opportunity most drivers could only wish for," Gordon said. "I've learned as much outside the car as I have in it with RCR, and Richard has taught me a great deal about the business of NASCAR. "He's a man of his word and someone I will always respect immensely. But I think everyone knows what my long-term goals are, both as a driver and a car owner, and now is the time for me to start my future as an owner at NASCAR's highest level. "If I can be half as successful as Richard has been, I'll be very happy. We have been putting the pieces in place for our own team for most of the past year, and although we don't have anything to announce yet for next season, we hope to make some announcements soon." The Southern California native has been with RCR since July 2001 when he was named interim driver for the No. 31 Chevrolet while Mike Skinner, the team's regular driver, recovered from injuries sustained in a crash at Chicagoland Speedway. He was named the team's fulltime driver in September and in November at New Hampshire International Speedway, in just his 10th start with RCR, he claimed his first NASCAR Cup victory. Soon after, Cingular Wireless was announced as the team's primary sponsor for the 2002 season. An announcement on who will be the driver of the No. 31 Cingular Wireless Chevrolet in 2005 will be made on Friday.

  5. Re: Thanks everybody.....we lost him Sorry to hear that, Nick, you have our prayers.
  6. Re: No victory lane celebration So sad. Our prayers are with them, also. Kind of ironic, that the Hendricks were so happy that there son, Ricky, hung up driving, they were worried about him being injured, and then to have this happen.
  7. Re: LCS Two post for two games. I went to Sunday's Astro's game, that place was rocking. Sure would like to see Roger Clemens have a chance to go up against his old team. Go ASTROS

  11. Re: Why I can\'t stand Nemechek. [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] As I read this post, I sit here looking at the media pass Jimmy Spencer signed for my sister a few years ago. I look at the pics on the wall of my sister in the pits with the crews and drivers during the race. I asked her to do one thing for me while attending the cup races that year. It was for my little boy who has a Nascar hero. She complied, she went out to the souviner truck and bought the drivers hat in question. After the race she bumped into this driver. No other people where around and things where winding down. She handed him the hat with a marker and asked if he would please sign it for her. He looked at her like she was crazy and told her to give me a break, I just drove 500 miles. I will tell you this, it wasnt front row Joe . [/ QUOTE ] WHO ? WHO ? WHO ? You've got my interest peaked. [/ QUOTE ] I know, I know, but I ain't gonna tell.

  17. Re: Why I can\'t stand Nemechek. The only driver I have met, is John Force. He was real pleasant, although he was short on time, he did take the time to sign something for my son and talk to him for a couple of minutes.
  18. Re: Dead Moose Wow, that is ashame.
  19. Re: A Howlin\' Good Time (wolf pics) Great pics and story. Glad that your son got to experience that awesome event.

  21. Re: and the Winners Are... Congrats to the winners, and I didn't see any losers in there. They were all great pics. Thanks to Bill for getting it together, also.
  22. Re: Whats Your Reason? This should be interesting. My dislikes: Gordon (both) Busch (both) Johnson Stewart almost all ford or dodge drivers Likes: Jr. Harvick Waltrip Schrader Reasons: Jeff Gordon: I agree he is a heck of a driver. But look at him, if he isn't gay he sure missed a heck of a chance. Really, I got tired of him winning so much, and posing a threat to my #1 driver. Plus he seems to whine a little to much when things don't go his way (just like Rusty). Robby Gordon: Too reckless. Kurt Busch: Again, don't like the way he looks or acts. Needs to grow up. Also has a combination of Robby Gordon/Rusty Wallace in him, he is a reckless whiner. Kyle Busch: Kurt's brother. J. Johnson: See Chrud explanation. Stewart: Drives for Home Depot, I can't ever find anything I need in that store. almost all ford or dodge drivers: Chevy is #1 Jr.: [ QUOTE ] He's the son of the greatest driver of all time. He worked his way up through local racing, up to Busch and now Cup. He hasn't had everything givin to him like some think. He's a great driver and seems like a pretty cool dude, based on his DVD. [/ QUOTE ] Harvick: Took over the ride of the Greatest Driver ever. Waltrip: Entertaining and you gotta give it to him, anybody that would stick with it for over 400 races without winning, loves what he is doing, and it shows. Plus he drives for the team built by the Greatest Driver ever. Schrader: Very entertaining, will race anything, and just seems like a good guy.
  23. Re: What do you do While on Stand [ QUOTE ] I read a book, me and Louis L'more have sit a many hours together on stand together. [/ QUOTE ] Me too. Also take a hand held poker game of some type.
