July 13, 200619 yr Looks like Jon Wood made a test run at the Brickyard this morning in the Nextel Cup test session this morning. Two cars for the Wood Brothers is a very good thing. Jon didn't run too well, but Kenny did so I am hoping Jon can use whatever Kenny figured out and that Kenny doesn't forget what he figured out before the race lol.
July 14, 200619 yr Is this two cars for the Wood Brothers a one race deal for the Brickyard or do they have plans for next season as well? Even Yates is going to struggle to find 2 drivers for next year.
July 14, 200619 yr They are looking at 2 for a few more races this year and eventually for it to be a full time thing.
July 14, 200619 yr The Woods will have no problem getting drivers they can just resign Schrader and bring up Jon Wood. They have some other drivers in their organization but they arent ready to move up untill Schrader is done id imagine. Yates is also going to run his younger driver Stephen Leicht at Indy so he can move into the 88 next year if needed. If Sadler goes id say they will get a Ward Burton type guy and set themselves back a year or two.
July 14, 200619 yr I heard it was almost a done deal getting Ward the 38 ride with Citifinancial as his sponsor - who knows though with how things change so quickly in Nascar Silly Season.
July 17, 200619 yr Author Kyle Busch wins at New Hampshire, JR blows an engine finishes 43rd and Stewart was wrecked by Newman while leading and finishes 37 puts him 11th in the points.
July 17, 200619 yr I hope he stays on fire! It is nerve-wracking that there is only about 130-150 points separating 3rd and 10th in the points standing.
July 17, 200619 yr QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 17, 2006 -> 12:41 AM) Burton is on fire. well put him out... sorry, couldn't help myself... glad to see burton tearing it up. bad day for jr though...
July 19, 200619 yr Word has it Fatback is back as the crew chief for the 21. The guy who was crew chief for the 21 will be crew chief for Jon Wood's cup ride the rest of this year. WOOHOO! Edited July 27, 200619 yr by Queen Prawn
July 27, 200619 yr Author Benny Parsons has lung cancer just reported today. He will broadcast the Brickyard on August 6th.

Prayers are out for him. word. not my favorite, but don't mind him and certainly would never wish cancer on anyone. prayers go out to him and his family for the tough road they have ahead and that he beats it...

August 14, 200619 yr QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Aug 14, 2006 -> 08:11 AM) Skirt Busch needs to learn to pay attention in wrecks. What a jerk. what exactly happened there at the end? i kinda missed what went on near the middle of the pack on the last lap
August 14, 200619 yr I didn't see it myself, but from what I have read on several sites, Boris Said spun Ryan Newman and when Burton and someone else checked up to avoid the wreck, Skirt didn't and spun Burton.
August 18, 200619 yr Hell hath froze over - Jeff B's fourth pole of the year came today!!! It's killing me to not be able to hoot and holler in my cube right now!!!

August 20, 200619 yr If it isn't one thing, it is a freaking 'nother. I am beginning to hate seeing him on pole. Also, Harvick is the world's worst teammate.
August 29, 200619 yr I still consider Kenseth and Martin to be Jeff Burton's true teammates. They always work well together. Matt and Jeff were running 1 and 2 for the 2nd straight year at the Bristol night race. Dang tires or something dropped the #31 back to 9th.
