With the 9 car winning yesterday I got to thinking.(I know it's about time)Will there every be a driver that comes thought the ranks and turns Nascar into his game. I guess what I mean is you have the rookie drivers that come up and make a splash and then the next year or two they are just there. It seemed like Kasey was going to make a hugh dent in the points with a great rookie year and then dissappeared.

Last year Carl Edwards had a great run as a rookie.Will his year be as good this year.

Why do you guy's think this happens, is it a rookie that has some great driving talent and drive's extra hard to leave a impression and get's a win. Then the next year they settle in for the long haul with experince and the learning that comes with it.

Will Nascar pretty soon have two drivers that are at the top of the cake and then have 41 other drivers that are out there turning laps. Is there a driver that anyone knows of coming thought that is suppose to be the next king?

Sifty--I think when their rookies and have that yellow bumper, that most drivers give them room and stay away from them. Then the next year its welcome to the real world. Some get pretty cocky, and the older guys will let it known on the track. Looking back the only guys I remember having good sophmore years are the 20 & 48. Theirs just to many big teams and money for one guy to dominate all the time, plus somethings you can't control-- crashes, tires & motors

just my thoughts

I agree with wally20,plus the fact that there are so many good teams,that for one driver to dominate in a few straight years is probably impossible.The days of a Earnhardt,Petty,Gordon and Johnson racing the way they did I believe are over.

You also have to factor in changes in the crew,including crew chief and drivers leaving for another team.

Every Sunday there are 10 different drivers that could possible win.Hard to find success two or three years in a row.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
