NASCAR Now, is reporting that the 48 and 24 pit crew teams, are going to switch for the final 2 races... Ugh
I saw that coming. lol


Makes sense. The 24 crew is killing it on pit road with 12 sec pit stops. Why wouldn't you want to make the switch?

Like they said yesterday on the race. Richard Childress swapped crews too. Did not hear anyone making a fuzz about that.

Personally I think 33 points is not gonna be easy to be made up, even for Jimmie. With how Denny is running Jimmie is gonna have to win 1 of 2 races and be third or better and have Denny finish somewhere in the top 10 or wrecked.



My issue with this.. is that they did it mid race. If they were to do it after the race.. fine.. but the fact that you did it mid race, it was like a slap in the face to those guy's. That's what I have a problem with.
Could be worse Jenny.

They could have been fired on the spot and to be honest they should have.

They have been doing a shitty job all season long. They lucky they still got a job. I would have given them the boot. Would have even thrown in that useless Steve Letarte with them too. lol

I agree with you.. but why take the team that could give Jeff a win, when he hasn't won since lord knows when, and give them to Jimmie?! Just because he's going for a cup, that he's won 4 staright times.. He's WON cups 4 times in a row with those guys.. There has to be something that they arn't doing, like practicing or hell maybe Chad isn't coaching them right.. Point is.. something has changed.. You don't just go and win 4 cups in a row to go to sucking on Sunday.

Why try to win one race when you can try to win another title?

Also if they don't win this year Chad and the "24" crew should go to the 88 car. Time for a new era to begin. :shifty:

You need a fast and consistent car........the entire race.

Steve cant seem to do that so having a mediocre pit crew is not gonna cost you a win.

I'm pretty sure ESPN lobotomizes all of their analysts. I say this because I used to like DJ as a commentator, but I can't even tell the difference in he and Rusty anymore, they both are so clueless in addition to sounding alike.

I agree with that. I have no problem with cup drivers racing in the Nationwide series but they should not be allowed to run both series full time.

I agree with him to a point. If it's a guys rookie season in Cup, or possibly even his second, if he doesn't have a top Sprint Cup ride I can see it. But some of these guys that have been out for 5 or 6 years still doing it is ridiculous.

Cuppers is what makes the NW race watchable.

The problem is Kyle. He's too good to run either in NW or Trucks.

He wins 90% of the time when he runs either.

In reality they all have the same equipment to run with. Obviously some cars will be faster then others but its not like the Cup guys are bringing thier Cup cars or setup to a NW race.

Its all relative.

I never have understood that logic really, maybe it's because nobody I ever cared about was driving in it, but why do the Cup guys make the Nationwide races better? They are generally the same guys that run up front in the Cup series so it's not like it's new or exciting seeing them there. It seems to me that it would be more "exciting" to see new names and new drivers rather than the same 8 or 10 guys in every race 2 or 3 times a week.

Well if the movie is bad enough that they would hire Screech for version 2 I would likely not watch either. Which explains Nascar at the current moment, but I would hardly call those 5 or 6 guys that run all 3 series Bruce Willis since none of them is likely to make anyone line up to see them. Stewart, Shrub, BK, Edwards, Harvick, Dale Jr., etc. don't exactly make the Nationwide series anymore watchable since you know that if they are in the race they are likely to finish in that order. In fact the only reason I can think of to watch it is because there is even less competition your boy may get a win he isn't necessarily likely to get the next day.

Speaking of Die Hard:

Quote:
 
On May 5, 2010 it was announced that X-Men Origins: Wolverine and The A-Team writer, Skip Woods was in negotiations to script a fifth Die Hard movie and the film will be produced by Alex Young. Bruce Willis will again return as John McClane and Willis said that he would like to see Live Free or Die Hard director, Len Wiseman return and would also like to see the story take place outside of the United States with a tentative title of Die Hard 24/7. On October 5, 2010 Willis announced during a MTV interview that a first draft of the script was finished and that the shooting should begin in 2011. Regarding a possible Die Hard 6, Bruce Willis told ShowbizSpy, "for me, I want to do Die Hard 5, then one final Die Hard movie — Die Hard 6 — before finally hanging that white vest up for good".

A better analogy would probably be the Batman movies. Michael Keaton was great as Batman, Val Kilmer was pretty good for the story they gave him, George Clooney was awful, and Christian Bale may be even better than Keaton. Now my question is how do you get Bale to do the story if you keep bringing Keaton back?
