I would've liekd to see Sorenson win the title but well....... maybe next year. 4.

Jesus Christ almighty I get sick of people whining about guys running both schedules. They wanna race, they're gonna race. 8.

Steve posted: 08.01.2006 - 1:10 am Rate this comment: (1) (0) Harvick (or as you say, "Hardick" [how immature]) doesn't suck in Cup; right now he's 5th in the Nextel Cup standings with a win at Phoenix, and he has 6 Top 10s in the last 8 races. Out of all the Nextel Cup guys running all the Busch races, he's the only one who should be doing it because he's the only one who would have a shot at the Busch title. And I thought this BEFORE the 2006 season started. A great way to eliminate this issue was suggested by Harvick himself! Readjust the Busch Series schedule so that there are about 15 to 20 Cup-Busch conjunction events, and only a few more Busch races that are run on an off-weekend for Cup. About 10 years ago, we had 16 Busch races that were run in conjuction with a Cup race. Now we have 26, and 3 more on Cup off-weekends. It is now much easier to run both series than it was. 10.

He just needs to run the Busch Series full time to make him feel better cuz he rarely wins in cup. 11.

OH, MAN... 12. biffle16 posted: 01.02.2007 - 5:54 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Actually, "Hardick" is an appropriate nickname. 13.

I don't think you'd have the guts to say it to his face! 14. #26 Oreo Double Stuf Ford posted: 02.18.2008 - 7:10 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) It is appropriate because he thinks everything is always somebody else's fault. He complains about other drivers running over him, yet he's such a hypocrite. If you want to know about his dirty driving, just ask Juan Pablo Montoya, Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Joe Nemechek, Kasey Kahne, or just about anyone who's driven for Jack Roush. 15.

Moore looked to be a driver in the same mold as Martin Truex Jr. - the son of a highly successful Busch North veteran getting a shot to drive for Dale Earnhardt Jr. - but he all but torpedoed his career thanks to a run-in with the equally mercurial Sean Caisse in a Busch North race at Lime Rock. Moore was disciplined by NASCAR with an unusual one-month suspension, precluding him from running the Busch North season finale or any other NASCAR-sanctioned race in that timespan. The suspension would be over in time for Moore to make his scheduled start in this race, and Chance 2 said they intended to honor the contract that they and Moore had signed that included this event on his schedule. This was by far the strongest run Moore had for the team, but he did not have any further contract tended to him thanks to his prior antics. Moore has not returned to a NASCAR touring series following a one-off run at Loudon in 2007. 30.

Marc Mitchell, Jerry Robertson, and Chris Wimmer also hit the wall, dooming their chances to make the show. 31.
