Tony Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 by the way.. if it matters.. Michael Schumacher won that race at indy.. and Barachello was 2nd, so it was a Ferarri 1-2 finish, They were not exactly thrilled about it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted June 24, 2005 Author Share Posted June 24, 2005 oops.... Correction... the Cup race Sunday is at 2:30 ET , hope you get this in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 Jeff Gordon was the last car to qualify, and beat out his teammate Jimmie Johnson for the pole. the "ringers" didn't run it too hard, as they were "go or go home", but Boris Said stil was able to grab 4th, so he will be right up there Sunday. was surpised to see Jose Louis Ramirez spin out, guess he was trying to hard, now he's not in the race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 26, 2005 Author Share Posted June 26, 2005 from the "mIlwalkee Mile".. Dennis Setzer won the truck race, Johnny Sauter won a reain shortened Busch race. Martin Truex Jr.'s 2nd place was enough to grab him the points lead. I took in some racing at the local track, the Lorain County Speedway Saturday night, had a lot of fun. Saw late models, Modifides, Grand Nationals, Street Stoks... and School Busses race haha. I took a scanner there for the 1st time. They don't allow pit crews to talk to their drivers during the race, but I heard the flag man, race officials and stuff, so that was pretty cool Tomorrow from Infineon Raceway Park in Sanoma, CA.. its at 2:30 ET, not 6 lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 "Smoke" gets his 1st win of the season top 5 from Infineon Raceway: 1. #20 Tony Stewart 2. #21 Ricky Rudd 3. #97 Kurt Busch 4 # 2 Rusty Wallace 5. #88 Dale Jarrett I didn't realise Rudd was such the road ace there tons of guys had transmission problems.. all 4 hendrick cars, Dale Earnhardt Jr, Robby Gordon , and 1 or 2 others Boris Said was doing well but tried to take advantage of the complicated " being in the pits when the yellow comes out is good" deal at road courses.. but the yellow came right before he came into the pits, hence closing them and giving him a penalty. He finished 17th. Scott Pruett was up there too, but kinda got blackballed with how the pit sequences worked, and finished 31st the best road ringer of the day was Ron Fellows with an 8th place finish, after getitng a 2nd place in his class at the 24 hours of Le Mans last week. Brian Simo did well too with a 10th place finish (can you guys tell I like the road ringer guys? lol) Doesn't look good for Jr, he finished 42nd this week, and has a lot to make up to make the Chase for the Cup. Jeff Gordon would not be in either if it started today. Next week, its back to Daytona, I beleive its a saturday night race.. You will see Boris Said have a go at that one too, along with 5 or 6 other road races this year. Fox/FX coverage is indeed over for the year, so it goes to NBC/TNT now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 Busch Series: Martin Truex Junior win the Winn-Dixie 250 from Daytona Saturday Truck- Kansas, 3PM on Speed Cup- Daytona, 7PM on NBC (Not Fox anymore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 3, 2005 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 well after a looong wait.. as there was no Green Flag racing until ALmost 11 ET because of rain.. Smoke went on to lead a ton of laps, and win his 2nd race in a row. 1. #20 Tony Stewart 2. #42 Jamie McMurray 3. # 8 Dale Earnhardt Jr. 4 . # 2 Rusty Wallace 5. #88 Dale Jarrett Jimmie Johnson is the new points leader Todd Bodine won the Truck race in Kansas Ferndo Alanzo won the French Grand Prix... was a rather dull race actually, too much distance between 1st, 2nd (Räikkönen), 3rd (M. Schumacher) Michelin has taken it upon themselves to refund the money of the ones who went to see the US GP.. and plans on giving away 20,000 seats next year. Quite the gesture. There is also talks of a non- Championship race with the F1 drivers after the season ends in October Next week: NASCAR is in Chicago, F1 has the Brittish Grand Prix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share Posted July 10, 2005 Truck race winner from Kentucky was Dennis Setzer, Busch Series winner from Chicago was Kevin Harvick .. the Cup race coverage on NBC starts around 3ET.ofcourse the actual race will start a good half hour atleast after that English Grand Prix winner was Pablo Montoya the FIA had found the 7 teams that pulled out of the USGP guilty of failing to provide suitable tires and "wrongfully"refusing to allow their cars to start in the race..any punishments and apeals will be heard in September .

Tony Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share Posted July 10, 2005 big red car... with a Number Eight on it... .. who the heck is that guy?... yep he finally won one 1. # 8 Dale Earnhardt Jr. 2. # 17 Matt Kenseth 3. # 48 Jimmie Johnson 4. # 25 Brian Vickers 5. # 20 Tony Stewart Smoke came back from a bad wreck during practice, and having to start the race in dead last, to take 5th. Scott Wimmer had the lead with around 10 laps to gom, but finished 17th David Stremme had his 1st ever NEXTEL cup start, and ran in the top 10 for quite a while, finished 16th Formula one isnt the only one with tire problems.. Stewart during that Practice, Gordon, Edwards, Kahne, Waltrip.. Johnson worked his way up back to 4th after he had to head to the pits becaause of a tire being down.. 8 races left until the "Chase"... Edwards and Jarrett are now on the outside looking in Next week.. Loudon, New Hampshire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
