Always chuckle at Yunick's half mile of coiled up half inch fuel line. Held more'n the tank did 'n it weren't against the rules. That leads me to..............
Looks like what they’re hintin’ at now is addin’ a thirteenth car, Gordon. Still don’t think they’re got the nads ta toss Logano. Front Row might suffer later but for now I think they’ll be under the Penske umbrella.
Just makes me wonder why NASCAR thinks the thief ‘n his court is so freakin’ important to their cause. All this is over Gordon ‘n Newman, one directly ‘n the other indirectly, drive for ‘im ‘n didn’t get in. What was done to keep ‘im out by MWR ‘n Penske has been done before. They know it ‘n they know the fans know it.
What looks like is bein’ lost in the shuffle is the Bowyer spin ain’t what NASCAR landed on MWR for. It was the radio chatter leadin’ to Vickers takin’ team orders. Same as Gilliland ‘n Front Row.
Bein’ old gives one the advantage of memories that ain’t quite faded. Waltrip had won two straight championships but ‘e wasn’t real popular. Allison, none but he had a followin’ ‘n more importantly he had the forerunner of Knaus in Gary Nelson.
With Waltrip pickin’ up where he left off the season before it was lookin’ like three straight was a possibility. ‘Bout half season, Allison started gettin’ extraordinary fuel mileage. Petty said it best, that kinda mileage comes from more gas than everyone else has. Yet, NASCAR couldn’t find it. Allison went on to win the championship.
I’ve always thought, 'n I ain't alone, NASCAR went thru the motions of lookin’ and/or ignored what they found. That gave them what they wanted. Waltrip didn’t win three straight in a cake-walk. Shortly thereafter they hired Nelson. Now, unless Nelson writes a tell-all book, we’ll never know how or where the few extra gallons were hidden. NASCAR manipulation 'robbin',' in the thief's words, Waltrip of three straight.
