The only thing that I found weird is that fox sports showed highlights of races in December but there weren't any in January.

JV may do (But Very Unlikley) Bush Races with a Rousch Suppoeted
team.

The truck series was shown in Australia on ESPN during the year that the last Aussie to race NASCAR, Adam Clarke, was driving.

Prior to 2001 not all Winston Cup races were shown on Fox Sports - only a selection. Races broadcast by ESPN in the United States have been shown on Fox Sports in Australia. The overseas braodcaster buys the rights to show the NASCAR series and does not necessarliy follow that ESPN races in the US will be shown on ESPN in Australia.

Johnson and others have had some runs in NASCAR but none in a reasonably competitive team(although Wood Bros is about WPS level in V8Supercar)

D.R.T,the key word I used is "Compete",yes there has been a couple of others but never a full blown supported attempt by one of our best! As for Roberts comment about Wood Brothers being on par with WPS I will assume that is a compliment as Wood Brothers are probably the oldest most established Ford Team in America with a very long proud history...

They maynot be Rousch or Hendricks but they are well funded, experienced serious racers who believe in Marcos. I cant wait for the season to start!

D.R.T. · 10 Jan 2007, 10:47 (Ref:1811178)

Well to me Grice and Johnson did "compete". We are talking between 3 and 10 Nextel events arent we in 2007 along with the former Busch series campaign

No Grice had one outing , Johnson was limited to 6 races. Ambrose will be doing 35 Busch and upto 10 Nextel Cup races. As Bazil states they Wood Bros are well funded but not up to the Level of the Rousch's etc.

D.R.T. · 10 Jan 2007, 10:54 (Ref:1811192)

I was more arguing the word "compete". As I'd like to think all that line up are there to compete, regardless of how many times they intend of doing it again.

Yes 35 "former Busch" races and up to 10 Nextel Cups (if he qualifies)

Dick had 7 starts in Winston Cup for a best finish of 22nd and Gricey didnot have any better time from memory but I am happy to check for you. Niether had full campaigns funded with a major team which is what I call competeing...

D.R.T. · 10 Jan 2007, 11:10 (Ref:1811213)

I understand that bazil, I never implied that either man raced than those few appearances. As stated I use the word competing in a difference context than you.

So with the possibility of 0 actual starts for Ambrose but only the maximum possiblity of 10, in your use of the word he isnt "competing" in Nextel in 07

Min 2 Max 10 plus 35 Baush with a fully funded team!!!

OMG...

He still has to qualify which isn't going to be a walk in the park.

Also I wouldnt refer to the "former Busch" series as the highest level of American Nascar, when describing Ambrose's tilt

So at the moment under your description, if Grice and Johnson weren't competing nor is Ambrose

OMG...

He will be competing in a mininum of TWO roadraces in NEXTEL CUP...with a possibilty of 10 NASCAR races.
He has already Competed in NASCAR doing the full Truck series.

DRT by your definition he already has..Truck series now he is trying a higher level.

He will be attempting to run in those races. There are not guarantees.

In Bazils words we are talking about Nascars highest level. Also in this instance we are talking about bazils definition of the word compete.

DRT you are being very ignorant and pedantic here. Look up the NASCAR rulebook and show me why Marcos WILL be racing.

Yes I am being very pedantic. The reason for this is the very vague terms used by bazil when describing the topic.

Robert, when talking about Nascars highest level which bazil stipulated we are talking Nextel Cup only, does he not have qualify to start a race. In 07 we are going to have 50 - 55 cars wanting 43 spots.

No...if you read NASCAR's rules you will find out why. Outside of the fact that Marcos will have little trouble qualifying the car anyway.

D.R.T. · 11 Jan 2007, 02:40 (Ref:1811973)

To save us both the time, you could just tell me. Unless your saying the Wood Bros car has automatic entry ? Out of interest is this an additional car or is he taking over a car for these races ?

Why are you so sure that Ambrose would have "little"trouble qualifying the car ?

Read the NASCAR rules and become more acquainted with its pecularities. Yes you are on the right track and no there will be not another car as far as I know.

So the car due to the team status has the entry. I respect you being equally pedantic.

"Very little" I think is being a bit harsh there Robert

If the truth hurts

D.R.T. · 11 Jan 2007, 03:18 (Ref:1811984)

Using your expert knowledge of the Nascar rule book, Robert the guaranteed entry would be for the #21 car driven in 2006 by Kenny Schrader, would it not ? Kenny Schrader and Johnny Wood are sharing this #21 ride I believe in 2007.

The #47 car of Ambrose wouldnt get automatic entry based on owners points as its a new car team entry.

Hope you can help me out here ?

Overall Team Points for Nextel Cup for the Wood Brothers.
