I thought they said there were two other's that were voted in by the fans that won in the past. Might have heard that wrong though....

-edit: I found where he was the third driver to transfer from the heat race and win. That is what I must have heard last night.

All I know is that the 60 miles the Rat made it is a long ways away from 600 that they'll be running next weekend, so those TuRD's better find their problem. Maybe the whole "testing" excuse is a cover-up for something bigger.....

I agree. I think they simply used the all-star race to test a design / way to get even more horsepower out of their motors, and it didn't hold up under race conditions. All 3 Gibb's cars had motor problems throughout the course of the weekend.

I'm quite certain he will.

Why post comments for the sole purpose of trying to pi$$ other's off? Posters like yourself almost ruined this forum a couple of years ago. We now have a good following of regular's here who often disagree with each other, but do so in an appropriate fashion. It has been a fun forum again...until you started posting. However, what you are attempting to do here is getting real old, real quick. I'm quite certain you could care less, but I am done engaging in your childlike posts.

If they weren't TuRD engines where did they get them? K-Mart?

Why would they be testing engines at this race? They can do it any time they want to on a chassis dyno or when testing at other times. A million reasons why they wouldn't try testing a new design at a race that has such a different format than an actual race. Not buying that one. They may have been testing different chassis set-ups, but I don't see them allegedly testing an engine for a 600 mile race during the All-Star event.

I think they tweaked the TuRD engines to go for broke and win the money Saturday night. They weren't testing for future races. This was a one time deal where they rolled the dice and lost, big time.

I dont think my posts are even close to as childish and malicious as the posts directed toward Kyle Busch.

The other teams should be the ones testing, cause their engines are so far behind

All-star test

Joe Gibbs Racing used its engines in the all-star race as opposed to the engines it receives from Toyota Racing Development.

The team plans to go back to TRD motors for the Coca-Cola 600.

Since the all-star race is a non-points race, it provides teams a chance to test equipment without fear that a failure will hurt them in the points.

What happened to your car?

"TRD, Mark (Cronquist, JGR engine builder) and everyone back at the shop did such an awesome job for us. This was a new piece and it was pretty stout and it was pretty right but just didn’t make the whole longevity here."

Was this a special package you ran for the All-Star Race tonight?

"It was going to be our standard package for the 600 next weekend. It’s a new package that we’ve come out with in the recent weeks but for some reason it has broken rocker arms. We’ll fix it and get it ready for if not this upcoming week but the next couple weeks."

Despite the team's success, Cronquist says that the Toyotas have been down on power compared to other teams.

Cronquist described the engines being used this week (All-Star Race) as those from Toyota Racing Development " with Joe Gibbs fixes and other things that we know work on them.''
