Was sort of in a rush at work - should have written that the points from last year applies when it comes to the 35 guaranteed spots in the field.

As for TV coverage I only know about Scandinavia, where it will be aired live on Viasat Sport 3 at 9pm CET on Sunday, February 25th.

Dudley has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
More accurately, with the champions provisonal still available to all champions, there's 17-18 cars shooting for 7 spots.

Also, it's probably worth asking. What the hell benefit do Michael Waltrip racing (amoungst others) get from filing 3 seperate owners for their 3 cars?

Maybe because is MWR gets banned for running jet fuel in the carbs they can't take out all the other two cars....

Then why doesn't EVERY team pull this trick.

If you look down the entry list it's about half and half whether they list different owners or just one.

And in Everham's case, there's 2 of the 3 "owned" by Ray and Riggs' car isn't.

Well, beacuse the other teams all have established owner points, and therefore don't want to forfeit their entry.

But MWR doesn't have any owner points...

So all "new" teams should be doing this.

Still doesn't quite follow, Bobby Ginn is listed for the 01 and 13, the 13 being outside the 35.

Ditto, all 3 DEI cars are "Theresa", when the #15 isn't top 35.

I'm not saying you're wrong on the reason, but it's certainly not a constant.

the #35 didn't run last year, so it doesn't matter who owns the car, but it provides flexibility next year when Junior leaves they can hire a new guy and not risk kicking Paul out of his ride.

Alot of the car numbers, 'teams' have different owners, often different to the owner of the whole organisation, why this is I'm not sure, one interesting one is Jeff Gordon is owner of #48, while he doesn't own #24

http://www.jayski.com/stats/2007/sta...2007owners.htm

I'll try to do some more research into it.... could possibly be so they can enter many cars in one race, I think the full time limit is 4, Roush had 6 cars in a race last year (Kenseth, Edwards, Biffle, Martin, Ragan and Kleuver)


oh and to answer you question about how those cars with so much power accelerate so slowly at Daytona, it's all because of the restrictor plate, it basically halfs the power available.

You're only allowed 4 full time teams but that's a very new rule so Rousch is allowed to run 5 full time for a while.

I didn't mention the #35, I'm presuming by context you meant to try and type #15 there.

Qualifying results: http://www.motorsport.com/news/artic...&FS=NASCAR-CUP
(there is a mistake, Dale Jarrett is meant to be 43rd)

Mikey misses out
Mayfield, Ward, AJ, Kenny Wallace and Bliss miss out again...

Vickers, Menard and John Andretti got in

I remember Fontana being a bit of a snooze-fest last time round, but it shuold be interesting anyway

Use a proper source:

http://www.nascar.com/races/cup/2007/2/data/lineup.html



Busch series should be good later.

Hazza: All event coverage should be in 1 thread. It mkaes it much easier to find stuff. If people in the modernm age can afford internet and not view FREE LIVE Timing from nascar.com then they shouldn't moan about people discussing the race!

I agree. The new Nascar site is lousy and hard to find things.

Jeff Gordon got the pole and Montoya qualified 9th.

This race may be a little different than others at Fontana. This will be the first race using unleaded fuel and it may prove interesting. lets see if they have any difficulty with the valves. I am not a big fan of Fontana but on the other hand it does give the drivers a different challenge as the track is quite flat and doesn't have the high banking. It may turn out to be a good race this year.

Well, I'm moderator, and most of the time I have to catch the Busch race on replay

Seperate threads will remain.

Sorry Hazza, but multiple threads isn't the way to go. People who are on tae delay are LESS likely ot see what happens with 1 thread then that are with seperate ones.

Truck race had some controversy I hear. Not downloaded the race myself yet.

Busch qual order: http://www.nascar.com/races/bg/2007/...ual_order.html

Shame there is only 41 Busch cars

Sorry? I'm not sure I agree with you, and my experiance backs me up here. The last thing I want is when i'm talking about the qualifying in the Cup race is Knowlsey blurting out the Busch result. Seperate threads makes sure that that doesn't happen.

Yes, two threads is the way to go. They are after all seperate races.

Makes things easier to follow.
