NASCAR with Terry Blount
Terry Blount
Not a bit. She smiling all the way to the bank.Yemi (Texas)
Last week, Ed hinton said he could see Danica as a top 10-15 driver in nascar within the next 4 years. This comes after Michael Waltrip gave her an A+ for finishing 31st and 6 laps down at Darlington. Is Ed getting senile? Why are journalist going overboard to convince people that she can drive in Nascar? She's a stiff.Terry Blount
She's no stiff Yemi. I don't understand the hatred for her. Danica isn't the best driver out there, but she's far from the worst. She has the ablility to race well, but I admit I've been disappointed overall this year.Ted (Conway Ma)
Helio didn't win Indy the third time, Paul Tracy didTerry Blount
Ahh, some controversy today. I like it. That point always will be up for debate.Marc (Florida)
With McDowell's history of overly aggressive driving do you expect NASCAR to penalize him for dumping Kurt on the last lap at Iowa?Terry Blount
No. Even Kurt said it was no big deal.Vinnie (ATL)
Is Jimmy Spencer still available? He needs to come back and teach Kurt Busch some manners. Terry Blount
I thought Kurt showed great manners in how he handled the situation with McDowell Sunday.Marc (Florida)
Who's been the bigger disappointment? Danica, Cole Whitt or the entire JRM team?Terry Blount
Whitt is no disappoinment. That kid is impressive. He has a bright future. But you make a good point in the fact that JR Motorsports equipment may be a notch behind right now.Sam (UT)
i think on sunday was kurt busch trying to smooth over what happened at darlington way to beTerry Blount
No doubt, but at least he did it.Chris (Iowa)
With the possibility of the US Military pulling all sponsorships from all motor sports would Hendrick have an easy time finding another partial sponsor for Junior? Are there sponsors not yet in the sport who will line up to sponsor him or will one switch teams possibly leaving another team sponsor-less? Big competition for the few companies willing to dish out the money, right?Terry Blount
No problem finding sponsors for Jr, but it might be tough to find one willing to spend as much as the National Guard is spending, about $25 million a year.Cory (Geneva, IL )
Why do they practice and qualify Thursday this week, then take Friday off?Terry Blount
It's nice not to conflict with what's going on at Indy.Ron (Smithville)
Isn't JRM the official Hendrick Motorsports NW team?Terry Blount
Sort of. They have a affiliation, but it's still Junior's operation.Mark B (ohio)
Would you like to see a couple of the last place drivers on each segment dropped from the All Star race? It would completely stop sandbagging and likely create some intense racing.Terry Blount
The easy fix is have the segment winners sit out until the final segment.Sam (UT)
You mean a kelly Earnhardt operation?Terry Blount
You're right about that Sam. Kelley runs the show there. She told me a story once about how she was mad at Junior and was cussing him out in her office. Jr. walked out and came back a few minutes later with a yellow slip of paper. She said, 'What's this?" Jr. said. "I went to HR and had you written up for abusive langauage to your boss." She cussed again and told him to get out.bowtie51 (md)
since Kenseth didnt blow up during the allstar race is it a safe assumption that he akes better care of his stuff?Terry Blount
No, just luckier than the other two guys. But it didn't hurt that he was able to coast in the back for a while after winning a segment.Jim (Bayala)
With Rowdy earning 4th and Kurt 8th in the All-Star race are The Busch Brothers favorites to win the 600?Terry Blount
I don't see Kurt as the favorite to win any race on the team he drives for now. That doesn't mean he can't win it, but he's not the favorite.laura (manhattan beach)
Hi TB - Love the Turn 4 and Dan Wheldon article! Yes, I'm a gearhead, sports nut and also watch girly shows ie The BacheloretteNASCAR folks on Twitter have been unusually quiet about this..is there an unspoken cone of silence of some sort about not bringing more attention to the attention getter Bachelorette? Terry Blount
Laura, I don't watch that show so don't know much about it, but NASCAR loves all the attention it can get.Dan (Virginia) [via mobile]
After coming up short at Richmond the past 2 races will Carl Edwards break through this fall?Terry Blount
He'll win a couple of races, but I don't think Richmond will be one of them.
