Was an awesome race overall. Still, I feel horrible for the little teams that would have scored great finishes if not for wrecks.

Darlington? Gibbs 1 2 3 4 in qualifying and 1 2 3 5 in race? Kyle Busch had the win guaranteed from the start of the green flag.


The series is such a joke right now, and the stands show it. None of the fans for Cup are staying for the Nationwide race because they know either Kyle, Brad, Joey or whatever hack in a Joe Gibbs car is going to win it on tracks more than 1 mile without plates. TV Ratings down as well this year.

There was a time when the Nationwide (Busch Series) had Hendrick, Gibbs, DEI with their development drivers in the car and teams like Nemco, Herzog, Pollex's Nestle car, Braun and Rensi could compete with appearances by cup drivers, plenty of standalone races as well.


Now, it's Joe Gibbs and Penske, surprise surprise, the two cup teams with two cup drivers running nearly every race. There's about 10-12 other cars that are somewhat on pace but still off Gibbs/Penske, some start and parks and then everybody else is off the place.

Not to mention the lack of standalones, Iowa which is great, two road courses and the useless Kentucky and Chicago races. These idiots removed ORP for the borefest that was IMS last year and where are Rockingham, Gresham, Irwindale ect? The schedule makes it so easy for cup drivers to dominate this and it's destroying the series.

What in the ****? Mike Harmon is a thief? This is just low.

Quote:
Cobb's transporter stolen from race shop UPDATE: On Saturday, May 11, 2013, at around 3:00 AM, the Jennifer Jo Cobb Racing team transporter was stolen from the team's race shop in Mooresville, N.C. The value with the contents included is well over $250,000. Rowan County Sheriff's Department and Detective Carl Dangerfield is pursuing leads and has issued arrest warrants in connection with this case. "It is my sole concern to get the transporter back so that we can make Friday night's Camping World Truck Series race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway," said Cobb. "We are working with other teams right now to borrow the necessary items in the event our hauler and its contents are not returned. We are pleased with the diligent work that the Rowan County Sheriff's Department has shown in solving this crime." Any information on the whereabouts of the stolen property can be directed to the lead investigator, Detective Carl Dangerfield 704-216-8711. (Jennifer Jo Cobb Racing PR)(5-15-2013)
UPDATE: The Rowan County Sheriff's Office said it has issued warrants for the arrest of Mike Joseph Harmon and Sheila Rae Rice for felony larceny and breaking and entering in connection with the case. It values the hauler and contents at $279,000. Harmon, a NASCAR driver and team owner primarily in the Nationwide Series, has worked with Cobb in the past. Harmon used to be the team manager for Cobb's Nationwide team.(Sporting News)(5-15-2013)
UPDATE 2: Mike Harmon tweeted twice Wednesday evening, "I want it known that I have never stolen so much as a piece of bubble gum in my life. I did not take JJC hauler, there is no video of me anywhere near her shop. Today she was the windshield & I was the bug, but when we get in FEDERAL court in a couple wks there's a boulder coming".(5-15-2012)
UPDATE 3: A NASCAR driver is out on bond after deputies in Cleveland County arrested him and charged him with stealing a competitor's trailer from a Rowan County business park. He says he didn't do it. According to the Cleveland County Sheriff's Office, Mike Harmon was arrested on Wednesday afternoon and charged with breaking and entering a motor vehicle and felony larceny. He was later released from the jail on a $10,000 bond. Harmon told WBTV that he has a strong alibi, he wasn't even in the state. He says he was in Darlington, SC for the race over the weekend, watching a friend drive his car in the Darlington 500. Investigators told WBTV on Thursday morning that they are still working to recover the stolen trailer. Harmon has attempted to get the trailer back in the past, through the court system, but the ruling went against him, investigators say. The Rowan County Sheriff's Office want the public to know that if someone is hiding the trailer until the situation gets sorted out, they could be charged with receiving stolen goods - a felony charge.(WBTV)(5-16-2013)

Guess there is some bad blood between Cobb & Harmon - seems someone owes the other one some cha-ching perhaps?

Harmon stole the equipment from Jo Cobb. No way he can lie out of it.

Poor Travis Pastrana, he keeps getting involved in several incidents not of his own making. Gotta feel sorry for Max Papis in this particular wreck as well, he had no way of avoiding getting sideslammed by Pastrana. He's lucky he didn't flip (which I think would've been a first for a Nationwide car at Iowa?).

Edit - And now rain is pounding the track.

Johnny O will be driving the #5 JR Motorsports car this week. It's hard for me to believe but this is Johnny's first time in a stock car. Hope he does well.

Still think it mindless for them to run RA and Sonoma on the same weekend, and LM week to boot. Are they trying to keep as many fir-n-ers out as possible???

Anyone doing the double? I don't think it's possible but didn't Carl do it last year?

GO JOHNNY O! His first start? That is a little hard to believe. Guess he's been a little busy, but so has Ron.

I tried to watch the end of that race but the last 15 laps took an hour. Johnny O was up to 7th before the cautions/gwc and finished 12th. Solid showing for his first stock car race. Hope he gets some more rides... hes a good guy.

Disaster of a finish, as always. Why can't they use the short cut under full course yellows?

Great win for the Dinger. Ride the snake!
