Yes, I believe he will be. Although I'm certainly not a fan of that practice, with the cost of brake packages for The Ville running $30-$40,000 I guess I can understand why everyone can't afford to run. Add to that the cost of tires at $___.00??? plus the wages for an entire pit crew, spare parts, tools and equipment --- Takes a heck of a lot of moolah.
So what can they do to make the sport more realistic for the wanna-be racers? Guess I would start by cutting the driver's wages ACROSS THE BOARD. Have to bring them all down to a rational level.
Why do sports heros get paid so much anyway? Granted I couldn't do what they do but then they can't do what I do for a living either!

2-3 laps before he came in TK mentioned on the radio his brakes were failing fast, especially since he was running competitively passing Biffle and Burton. I hate Start and Park as much as anyone else, but the car just wasn't equiped to run the whole race.

Turned the race on for 25 minutes, TK was out, I turned back on NFL. I don't know whether to be happy for TK or dissapointed he took this ride (I understand his itch to get back in the seat). But sometimes bad publicity is better then no publicity at all I guess.

question--- how can you get bad publicity when tv never even mentions your name during the race broadcast?

Not being a jerk...but maybe you didnt notice that ticker going across the top of the tv. 40. Gilliland 41. Blaney 42. Cope 43. KVAPIL....not good publicity.

I agree I don't think he should have took this ride, when people look at these two results a DNQ and dead last, it would make some people look else where first. |
