This Week in NASCAR [June29 Edition]

In news that nearly all surprised, Matt Kenseth and Roush Fenway announced a cross racing. Matt Kenseth told the team before last weekend, but no announcement was made at that time. Immediately after the news was released, Roush rushed to announce that Ricky Stenhouse Jr. rose through the ranks of the Sprint Cup 2013th Matt Kenseth has hardly said anything, even when bombarded with questions from the media.

A whispered that his contract for 2013 is in force and will be announced at a later date. Speculation is that it moves to Joe Gibbs Racing, but if it is like a fourth car remains to be seen. The speculation had before he is after 11 Denny Hamlin contract this year, but the son of buzz in the press rumors of impending re-sign Denny.

Of course, Gibbs is not the only team to look for that to perhaps find a new driver. If Kenseth prefers to be out of a Chevy was not discussed, at least not what I have seen, but the pilot has not one, to promote Ford, at least not the players, Carl Edwards was doing well.

Anyway, I'm sure that Matt is the message to announce your way.

Two new developments have emerged in the last week may affect the way you see the race. NASCAR is the restructuring of its leadership position in broadcasting. The article is full of praise for supporting the men, the NASCAR media, but it seems like a good initiative. The idea, as I see it is to promote the NASCAR, in trade, which is what used to NASCAR. This means that you do not see the ads for NBA teams during a NASCAR race. Good news in my book.

In addition, the Daytona International Speedway to the Council of Daytona Beach, FL permit applied to improve the circuit, ie areas in which fans are common. Much of this is to improve the front-stretch grandstands, suites and boxes. Areas of the fans in the stadium are updated and added more interactive areas in the design. In short, good for the fans.

NASCAR will continue its "Drive for Diversity" program, and 17 new trainees have been appointed to work with NASCAR in the next 10 weeks, in a paid internship in its entirety. Although NASCAR seems to be a sport where only a few remain non-Caucasians are involved, we have more women who have the sport through the tube, media, teams and the headquarters of the equipment. We see more and more non-US competitors. In fact, Nelson Piquet won in Sonoma last weekend in the Nationwide Series race. All this is very good for our sport.

Lastly, the teams are in Kentucky this weekend. This is the second year on the track, and we race through the night! Tonight, Nationwide teams on the track, and Saturday evening we will see the Sprint Cup cars. Kyle Busch won last year, and he wants to back it up with another victory. He was fastest in practice here first, but Dale Earnhardt Jr. in second. It was not a great track for him last year when he was in the 30th terminated. Last week was not a good week for Jr. looks to bounce back hard and some of its momentum from his win in Michigan. Kevin Harvick has not yet won this season and is sixth in the championship. It also seeks something to gain momentum. He finished 16th in last year

The leader is Matt. He says it will be easier to concentrate, driving job this week, now that the news is public, its owner has been notified, and Roush has the option of the damage that had to be prevented through the promotion of Ricky. Matt grabbed a sixth place last year, so the driver can not be prepared to win, but after the first practice, he and his team a difficult task ahead of them because they were only 19th

So, who can win? Frankly, I think Kyle Busch has a very strong probability of less than two for two tomorrow night. I did not mention Tony Stewart, Ryan Newman and even today, but both were in the top five in the last year, it could also be a factor. Ryan was the fastest 14 in the first exercise.

I wish all those who wonder why we could not have heard apologies from the front and the middle of NASCAR this week. I was stuck without internet of any kind, not even by my phone. It's a scary thing to not have access. I promise I will for some time, since we are on the golf course for the summer, and I have great signal here.

I will not watch the second exercise, but certainly much control as possible on my mobile phone or BlackBerry playbook. Meanwhile, let the names of their beaks, black horses, and I know what you think about the upcoming changes.

This Week in NASCAR [June 21st Edition]

 For us, really used to NASCAR fans are still celebrating Dale Earnhardt Jr. to win last weekend, Michigan, and honestly, we thought it is a start of many more during this period. We would not be surprised if he wins this coming weekend, Sonoma, West Coast road course.

Miniclip many NASCAR fans have been very vocal about their avoidable road courses, but recently more and more say on how more road courses (Montreal? Mexico?) And having at least one road course is a simple thing. And while this sure blows, some of you people who are reading my thoughts for a few years, I agree.

This weekend we have not yet Chase, so we have our share of "Ringers" contest. Ringers of these drivers, which have proved to all road courses for car excellence. Most likely we will see, Brian Simo, Boris Said and Ron Fellows. Also, we can see, Brian Vickers, Marcos Ambrose and Juan Pablo Montoya. Marcos, and JPM is on track with other series, and both have proven their expertise in road courses, so they are considered "view comments". Unfortunately, the reputation of not necessarily mean winning.

If you google or Sonoma Raceway Infineon Raceway, the firmware from Wikipedia, and what the name is more than any other? Jeff Gordon.

Jeff is now the only Hendrick Motorsports driver, without a win in 2012. Remember that I said that Jeff is having one of the "what else could possibly go wrong?" scheduling seasons. He is determined to work it through. Jeff did not want to be the only HMS driver, is winless on a regular basis at the end and seriously, this is the place where he really do it. Most wins, most of the Top 5 most of the top ten, most of the columns, and led most of the rounds is Esko's record labels like Sonoma. He won last year and placed second in the other race. But I shall return to this question, "what could possibly go wrong?". I know that Jeff was Sam Hornish Jr. was a huge crash at Watkins Glen, but Jeff has had during the period one has to wonder if Jeff is just good luck this year is incorrect in luck.

Of course he is not the only driver in the field and you've already mentioned the momentum Dale Jr. has come to this race. He knew a few years ago, his area of ​​expertise on the road courses to the left a bit disappointing. And Dale Jr, Boris Said and asked to ask him a few hints and tips on driving road courses. He does not like racing road courses, but he actually does not completely suck it. He's not wins, but he is in line with the end of which has received her second current investments in points.

Then there is Tony Stewart. Indeed whether they will offer information? Okay well, he has five wins the Watkins Glen and Sonoma in two, so to win this weekend is something we definitely could not.

It may be any of those Controllers. It could be a road ringer. It may be different for the first time successful. It may be a crystal ball.

You know, I usually wait for me to practice before the competition, picking a winner, but this week I do not care how anyone practices. I truly believe that Michigan submitted the winning pit the whole point of Chapter 88. He has been working so hard paid off for so long and finally all the hard work. I just believe that this win, and win the championship in the desire to fuel the momentum throughout the group. Can I pick up Dale Jr. to win this weekend, Infineon.

NASCAR of This week,,June15th Edition

One thing to abandon the NASCAR drivers ever, information.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. was the triumph of four years. Jeff Gordon to take the season in hell, if not everyone can see what can go wrong. The kind of reminds me of Dale Earnhardt wins the Daytona 500 (Sr, is that it is gull? Clock Jeff!)
The owner, however, teams, fans, friends, families and maintained with support from Keepin '. Even Kurt Busch is back this weekend is that the Court of the car 51 to be Realisticrecovery Chen "come to meet Jesus."
Dale Jr. was painted with "The Dark Knight Rises" and promote the car in the movie. You can imagine to see the movie with the actual car.
This will help in the running to win? No, but a doll can be even stronger if the guide for fans. The last victory came four years ago, Dale Jr. at Michigan, but that victory came in the rain and the fuel mileage on this topic. A win is a win, Jr. will be a show full of action, he will win here, either. But a storm on Sunday. ...

Jeff Gordon is here twice, once for each winning song and win a complain that the reign of "anyone but Gordon" in the early stages of his career, at any time. He found, however, , 18 top-five and ten 24 victories on the track, so not too bad.
Both men are Denny Hamlin and Kyle Busch, one of whom has made in the last two years to get to race in the ladies. In fact, Denny made the last two races of spring, making it the best choice if you want to see the race of imagination.
As mentioned earlier, Kurt Busch has returned to the 51 (R) in the case of James Finch and Phoenix Racing car. Remember last week when David Reutimann and agrees with the ease of a step in that seat, even if Dave Blaney drove his car to go to 10? Tony Raines was then stroll Blaney. Nobody now is definitely fishy. Raines is a car this weekend 10, while Reutimann name will not appear on the flag of the list. Dave Blaney is to make your workflow back to 36. So if you do, let the Reut? The Tommy Baldwin Racing was back this week with the expected 51 cars so drivers are asked to fill the seats of other agreements Reutimann. Looks like he will be back in Kentucky, 10 Reutimann.
Note to contest the Cup 33 Austin Dillon Richard Childress Racing is Sunday in the car and his car on Saturday in the national race 3 on a regular basis. It's fun as a driver in the same way that his younger brother, Ty, watching the road. Richard Childress has grandchildren in the future of the plant and so far it seems to me very well.
So what do you mean? We expect once again, the Victoria Denny? Kyle Busch? Or maybe he can finally win., Jr., Jeff Gordon seasonw could take too ill to face, and he held his friend. Please share your thoughts and you can see here some of the choices and have to compete.
