Good effort by Marcos, battling brake problems for much of the race.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

It was about 15 cars Stewart wiped out.

Kurt Busch could be facing a fine.

Kurt Busch has been suspended for the Pocono race for his comments to a reporter after the Dover Nationwide race



James Finch sounds like he might sack KuBu

Reutimann will drive the #51 and Blaney will drive the #10 this week

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

His probarion is now until Dec 31st.

Reutimann should replace Busch full time, he's quite clearly not up to it at the moment mentally. He has also wrecked 14 cars in 14 rounds this season over all races, practice and qualifying sessions so not only is he being an idiot off the track he is also being an idiot on it as well.

I heard that stat of 14 cars and wondered if it also included the Nationwide KBM cars.If not then that's a staggering amount of wrecks in just 14 rounds.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

I would sack him if he was driving for my team.

 

[JUBJUB]

Another race,another wrecked car for KuBu.
KuBu wrecked his late model car in the heat race for Prelude To The Dream and didn't even get to start the main race.

What a surprise i did not see that coming

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

The Busch brothers are a disgrace. I see that drivers like JJ and Jeff Gordon are hated, either because they are not good ol' boys in Gordon's case or because of past and present success in the case of both. This is because of something like a third of NASCAR fans are Dale Jr fans so they hate anybody that prevents Jr from winning. I also know that fans hold grudges over racing incidents so that hated list is flexible.

However, the Busch boys are the most ungrateful spoilt brats I have seen (although Biffle also annoys me in this regard). I guess Kyle has pulled his head in this year, only to tag team in Kurt who is almost certifiable right now. Plenty of drivers looking for a chance to show their stuff and represent the big money companies that have grown the sport, why keep dicks around?

On another note, Ambrose is going up against history driving for Richard Petty. 5 wins in 28 years? No top 10s last year, Ambrose's 9th the first of the year in Dover.

Having said that, Ambrose has been brilliant replaced so often only to get involved in an accident, run out of fuel on the last lap or suffer mechanical problems. Should have at least 4 top 10 finishes this year. Almirola is an up and comer too so maybe if both cars can get up the front, they could have better results by supporting each other.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

I might be a bit harsh on Aric Almirola because i thought he would have had better results since he all most won Rookie of the Year all them years ago.

He has been around awhile now so i would not call him a up and comer.

He is a lot more competitive of late and it seems the NASCAR forums think he will make it.

What do you mean no top 10's last year ?
He had 2 at Dover and he won the Watkins Glen race.I think there were other top 10's as well.

Was supposed to read 'this' year.

Was supposed to read 'this' year.

Ah that makes sense
Ambrose has had a top 10 this year prior to Dover - 9th at Darlington

All round fail. I watched that race but was reading a news article about RPM and their lack of success so quoted from it without noticing the 15th May date.

I think the frustration of not being in a top flight team is getting to him. He only has himself to blame though after his antics at Penske. Looking back at his record, he has quite a number of incidents throughout his career, he's lucky to have not been moved on more times than what he actually has.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

He will never be in a top flight team.

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

Marcos Ambrose will start in 9th place for the NSCS Pocono 400.

 

[JUBJUB]

Cletus the Slacked Jawed Yokel won the Pocono race.Ambrose finished 13th and moves up 2 spots to 17th in the points.
KyBu's engine crapped out again.Such a shame

 

[DREAM TEAM BUFF]

He lost a bit of oil around the track

 

[NSWCROW]

Marcos reeeeeally needed to beat Burton and Almirola
Marcos reeeeeeally DIDN'T need Joey Logano to win

 

[Ljp86]

Yep, four drivers in front of him now outside the top 10 who have a win, Marcos has to win at least once and also start pushing himself further up the standings. He'll be hoping (as do a few others) that Tony Stewart and Brad Keselowski stay inside the top ten as they have two wins each.

Marcos is on a knife edge at the moment, he's slowly gaining ground but the four drivers behind him are within 12 points or less. One bad race and he'll fall back.
