Yes the president is not making those decisions. But don't you think nascar always has that in the back of their mind. The race sponsor has put up millions of dollars for this race, lets help make sure they get their money's worth so they will sponsor again. Its all about the might dollar, just like every sport has become. I do love racing, and have attended a couple of nascar races. They are a very exciting event to attend, but for them it comes down to who will give us money.

If you say this is true then how come Biffle didn't win the subway500, a dodge didn't win the dodge charger 500, kenseth didn't win the usg sheetrock400, I can name so many it is not even worth it. Yes there are times when the winner and the race is sponsored by the same company but how often does that really happen? Biffle won the ford 400, Harvick won the chevy rocknroll 400, are you saying that Nascar "cheated" for them also? Why can't you think that the company did a good job at picking a race to sponsor, one that the race team they are affiliated with runs good at? How come the team doesn't get a pat on the back for running a good race and being there at the end? I just don't see where you guys are getting your information. Don't get me wrong I am by no means a johnson fan, heck I can't stand the guy (if you have ever heard his radio show on XM you know what I mean) but the guy is a fantastic racecar driver and chad knaus is a awesome crew chief, you put those two together you get one very strong race team. Why can't people admit that?

Now if Ward Burton wins the race today I will take back what I just said smirk.gif

Not to start this discussion over for the billionth time, but if I recall from previous posts the logic presented at that time was that Gordon's championships meant more due to the claim that the competition is tougher now than it was in the past. With that said, applying the same logic one can conclude that since Sr's seven championships came after Petty's seven championships, Sr's are qualified as more significant, and thus Sr. is better than Petty.


Did any see the race on ESPN hsolist last evening? 1991 Martinsville Dale won the race and in second place KYLE PETTY!!!!!!!!! Yeah, ol' Sr. sure had some tough competition back then crazy.gif.

The field was soooo terribly poor back in the day, it's truely amazing Dale didn't win every race. I mean, cmon, look at the competition. In his career he raced against such slugs/hacks/wanna bes as Sterling Marlin, Richard Petty, Cale Yarbarough, Rusty Wallace, Mark Martin, The Allisons, Neil Bonnet, Swirvin Irvin, etc, etc, etc.

Yup, there was pretty much no competition 10 years ago. Please. Even Gordon (Whom I'm no fan of but the dude can drive) said when he's trying to get through traffic he just wants to be welded to the back bumper of the #3 car.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • 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.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • 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.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
