But it sucked to see Cup drivers dominate a stand alone Nationwide event. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Nemechek's flip was the first Nationwide flip since Shrub during the 2007 Talladega race. 3.

In the 17 Busch/Nationwide races held at Talladega, someone has either caught decent air or straight-up flipped in 11 of those races. 2 cars caught major air and another flipped in '93, 2 flipped in '95, and 1 caught huge air while another flipped (not simultaneously) in '96. 4.

He drove away from the crash scene and all the way back to pit road despite the heavy damage. 5.

Great runs for Brad Keselowski,Kelly Bires,Leffler,Mike Bliss,Steve Wallace(who spun out but didn't hit anything)and Scott Lagasse.If only one of 'em could of passed Logano and Shrub. 6.

Three Cup guys lead almost all of the laps in a "stand-alone" race, and the Gibbs cars battle for the win. What a shock. I skipped this one to go to Caraway and watch the modifieds race. I'm glad I did even though I froze my ass off. 9. Anonymous posted: 04.12.2009 - 8:08 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Wow, Kit. Talkin trash about Steve Wallace on a results sheet that he finished 9th. Let's see. Aside from the two races that he's gotten wrecked by other drivers, he has finished 7th, 9th, 10th, and 14th. Wow, he needs to learn how to drive! Steve Wallace keeps getting better, and if you don't like it, you'll just have to deal with it. 10.

IOW, it's easier to calm down a fast and agressive driver than to make a slower driver go faster. It's early in the season, but Steven is 8th among series regulars in the standings. 13.

Kit you really need to stop badmouthing drivers. Fact is, Steve has shown a lot of improvement from 2007 to 2008, and right now he's shown a lot of improvement over last year. Without the Daytona crash he's be in the top 10 in points and averaging a 14th place finish. But I guess if you want to ignore, that's your choice. As far as moving up to Cup is concerned, I guess he can't do any worse than Scott Slow and Moldy Bread. 14. jp posted: 04.13.2009 - 8:53 am Rate this comment: (0) (1) I was really hoping that they would allow Nemechek to go back out on track.

With the watered down competition this year, he has still shown me NOTHING!! He is driving cars with RCR engines and chassis and still finishing behind drivers on much less funded teams. It is like Kit said once: When did we set the bar so low? The fact is he has been a wrecking machine like nothing I have ever seen for the last three years. In the half season he ran in 2006, and the entire 2007 and 2008 seasons he wrecked and wrecked and wrecked and wrecked. And now, only SIX races into a season with only 5 Cup teams running full time, and he has a best finish of 7th. Oh by the way, at Las Vegas he spun out UNDER CAUTION. And THAT means he is good now? What a joke! 17.

Wow, he needs to learn how to drive!" THAT is impressive? While driving cars with RCR engines? Finishing one spot ahead of a car owned by Bryan Mullet. I don't even know who that is!! "Steve Wallace keeps getting better, and if you don't like it, you'll just have to deal with it." Oh no, I'm gonna have to deal with mediocrity, I'm shaking in my boots. Besides, we aren't going to have to deal with it, the Cup guys getting caught up in his crashes are the ones who are going to have to deal with it. Seriously, he is crashing this often in races 200-300 miles long in cars with a lot of downforce and very limited horsepower while driving against 5 or 6 really good teams. What will happen when he is driving in 4 hour races in cars with much less downforce and much more powerful engines against 1,000 times the competition? It will be a disaster. 18.

IOW, it's easier to calm down a fast and agressive driver than to make a slower driver go faster." But there is one problem with that, HE ISN'T FAST!!! He has led 45 laps in 93 starts. Take away the 32 laps he led at Bristol from the pole before he *gasp* crashed, and he's led 13 laps. And he has a grand total of TEN Top 10 finishes and TWO Top 5 finishes. IN NINETY THREE STARTS!!! That's fast????He has the double whammy of being a crashing machine AND a slow driver. "Fact is, Steve has shown a lot of improvement from 2007 to 2008, and right now he's shown a lot of improvement over last year.

It's amazing how low the bar has been set for this loser of a race car driver. He better thank God that his father owns the team, because anyone else would have fired him a LONG time ago. Rusty even fired Billy Parker after EIGHT races when RWI was a start up operation. Rusty is just totally delusional in even beginning to think his son is ready for Cup. He'll be even worse than Moldy Bread and Scott Slow cause he'll wreck more often. At least he'll have the ESPN commentators covering his ass. 19. Bronco posted: 04.13.2009 - 2:02 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) Allow me to break it down for you. 2007 No top 5s or top 10s 8 DNFs Avg. finish of 27.5 2008 2 top 5s, 7 top 10s 5 DNFs (1 caused by that idiot Kevin Lepage) Avg. finish of 20.1 2009 0 top 5s, 3 top 10s 1 DNF (caused by Leffler) Avg. finish of 18.7 So how is that not an improvement?? What more do you expect out of him, is he supposed to be battling for the win each week? Even Gaughan isn't doing that, and Stremme never close either. You keep bringing up Billy Parker, however if you look at his results its easy why he was canned. 4 DNFs in 8 races, wow. If you want to beat on a driver, beat on David Ragan. He's driven two full seasons in Nationwide for Roush, has never sniffed a win, and has led only two more laps than Steve. You guys need to stop wetting your pants over the whole Cup thing. Rusty said its just a possibility, just like Harvick and Dale Jr said about their teams. You guys really think Rusty will get sponsorship anyway? Ha. 20.

Because it still sucks. Having $2 to your name is an improvement over having 50 cents, but you are still broke. "Even Gaughan isn't doing that" I'm not sold on him either. Besides, this is his first year of Nationwide racing. "You keep bringing up Billy Parker, however if you look at his results its easy why he was canned. 4 DNFs in 8 races, wow." That is the same rate Rusty's Son has crashed for 3 years. If he is going to can Billy, he should can his son. "You guys really think Rusty will get sponsorship anyway? Ha." Oh I'm sure it won't happen. I'm just saying that for Rusty to even think for ONE SECOND that his boy is ready for the Cup Series shows how delusional he really is. 22. Bronco posted: 04.13.2009 - 10:14 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) "Because it still sucks." Really? So what does he have to do to prove he doesn't suck? Is he supposed to be running up front each week battling with Edwards and Shrub for wins? Because I can assure you that no Nationwide driver with the exception of Keselowski is going to able to do that. "Besides, this is his first year of Nationwide racing." Maybe, but Gaughan has run a full Cup season as well as several years in the Truck series so he has plenty of racing experience. The fact that Steve is getting similar results shows that he has closed the gap with others results. "I'm just saying that for Rusty to even think for ONE SECOND that his boy is ready for the Cup Series shows how delusional he really is." No more delusional than the morons who gave Cup rides to Moldy Bread and Sideways Sam after a grand total of 21 Nationwide starts combined. 23. Anonymous posted: 04.13.2009 - 10:42 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) DaleSrFanForever: Your naivity and bias is showing. Since when is RWI a cup team? Cause they have RCR engines? RWI doesn't run RCR chassis, and they do their own bodies. You realize that 90% of the Nationwide fields gets their engines from COMPETITIVE cup teams? Scott Wimmer finished 28th in the 40, which has a Gibbs Chevrolet engine, so should they be beating all of the Cup guys? It doesn't work like that. John Wes Townley drives old Roush cars. That doesn't mean he races for a team that should be demolishing Roush. Anyway, this race at Nashville, Wallace beat the only RCR car in the field. All Steve Wallace has from RCR is ENGINES. The 11 car is a Gibbs car. That team has a huge alliance with Gibbs right now. If Jason Keller was in it, they'd be battling for wins. DaleSrFanForever, none of what you say holds any water whatsoever. You don't even have the 3 "facts" you pulled out right. 24.

Someone tells someone else to stop badmouthing driver(S***** Wallace) then that poster turns around and badmouthed two drivers in the same post(Logano and Speed)." Exactly. It is a double standard. At least Logano and Speed have WON in the lower divisions. Rusty's Son hasn't done jack. As far as "facts" I don't know how many more facts you apologists need. He has finished on the lead lap in barely 1/3 of his races, has finished in the top 10 less than once every nine races, and can never go more than 3 races without wrecking, turning sideways, or wrecking somebody else. And besides, I never said Logano, Speed, or Ragan were good. I have praised Ragan for not wrecking as much. He went from being in the most wrecks in 2007 to almost making the cha$e in 2008 while completing the most laps of anyone. Is he fast? No, and I never said he was. But he is the true model of "showing improvement and maturity", at least when it comes to wrecking. Rusty's Son? He wrecks and is slow. 27. Bronco posted: 04.14.2009 - 8:36 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) "Rusty's Son? He wrecks and is slow." Haha. Steve has 3 top 10s this season and 4 lead lap finishes out of a possible 6 races run this year, yet for some reason he's "slow". I'm sorry, but in case you haven't noticed, this is 2009 and not 2007 and Steve's performance has improved a lot, like it or not. It probably doesn't meet your astronomically high standards, but to the rest of us improving your average finish by roughly 9 spots over two seasons is an improvement. I'm not a fan of Steve by any means, but I believe in giving credit where it is due. True, I bash Moldy Bread and Scott Slow a lot, but if they started running in the top 20 or 25 I'd have no problem acknowledging their improvement. 28. Baker posted: 04.14.2009 - 9:04 pm Rate this comment: (0) (1) Bronco, Wallace has improved, but he's still horrible and it doens't get you off the hook for telling others not to badmouth him then rip Speed and Logano. When you're as good as Logano there is no room for improvement. He's missed the Top 10 only like 6-7 times his entire career in Nationwide. As far as Cup goes give me a flipping break you over critical nut its been 7 races with no testing for the first time ever to boot. He's going to struggle...get over it. You're not even giving time for improvement. You can't even begin to judge improvement until his 2nd visit to a track, and even then I say his 2nd season. This season is in no way ever going to determine Joey's talent. 29.

Actually,Steve did better in ARCA than he has in Nationwide.If Rusty had keep him there till at least '06 or '07 THAN moved him up to Nationwide(or even better to the Turck series)he'll probably be doing better. "As far as Cup goes give me a flipping break you over critical nut its been 7 races with no testing for the first time ever to boot." On the Atlanta Cup race page Baker you complained about Logano not getting enough testing even after some one pointed out he'd tested for more than a year at Gibbs in a cot.You've also seem to have forgotten how much he was hyped after his 'great win' last year,everyone pretty much procliamed he could walk on water."Moldy Bread" does have the talent to compete in Cup but he's been thrown to wolves by Gibbs putting him in Stewart's ride for this year. And another thing,it's funny you should rip the other posters for badmouthing and praising certain drivers in the same sentance,than do the exact same thing in your post.Who's the hypocrite now? 31.

Yeah they can't run in the Top 20 or 25, IN THE CUP SERIES!!!! Scott has actually done quite well in his Nationwide starts, running with the leaders and battling for the lead in his first start at Vegas, something Rusty's Son has never done, while in an MWR car that is on par with RWI. What do you think S**** would be doing in Cup? Scott and Joey have shown me WAY more on the lower levels than Rusty's Boy. Should they be in Cup right now? Absolutely not. But they are way better than Sir Wrecksalot. "wow, DaleSrFanForever. pretty sad when you have to say he can't go 3 races without 3 options. Getting sideways? Are you retarded? In case you haven't noticed, people get loose in EVERY SINGLE NASCAR RACE EVER." By sideways I mean totally sideways, as in spun out. I don't mean he just got a little loose. Who is the moronic twit now? 32. Bronco posted: 04.15.2009 - 2:22 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) "Who is the moronic twit now?" You're still the moronic twit. So far this year alone Steve has been involved in only cautions. The first was the Daytona wreck which was in no way his fault, then the multi car wreck at Vegas, and then he got loose and spun out in this race (which makes his top 10 all the more impressive.) So really, you have no basis you have for calling him Sir Wrecksalot. I'm sure you're going to bring up the fact that he has caused wrecks and stuff in the past which is true. But we're debating whether Steve has improved or not and the bottom line is he has. You're probably not going to admit that, but it's not going change the facts. 33.

JGR11Fan posted: 04.15.2009 - 7:09 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) The only reason Scott Speed was up front at Vegas was because he won the pole. He went to the back in a hurry after leading the first two laps. To say that Steve Wallace hasn't done that isn't actually factual. The kid has won 2 poles and led laps before. MWR is actually better stuff than RWI, for the extremely obvious reasons. BTW, at Vegas, Scott Speed drove straight up the track into the wreck rather than let off and drive below it. Wow, impressive. In both of Scott Speed's Nationwide starts, Steve Wallace has outfinished him. How can you say he's shown you more? Cause Steve Wallace didn't make any truck starts with the best team in trucks? 35. JGR11Fan posted: 04.15.2009 - 8:02 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) Baker... He has tested on many cup tracks. When people say it's the first time he's been to a variety of tracks, they mean in competition. He saw loads of tracks testing for Gibbs' COT program the last two years. A buddy of mine works for Gibbs, so I heard about it constantly about how he adjusts to cars faster than Denny did at first. 36.

Where did we state he doesn't have talent,he proved Saturday that he knows how to run with the big boys.The point is that Logano,Speed,and Wallace were moved into their respective rides too soon.They'd probably tell you that themselves if you asked them.The media and "racing experts" hyped up Logano like he was the next Kyle Busch or Matt Kenseth,and now that his cup results have failed to match their grand expectations they wanna stick a fork in him without ever adknowladging that he was put in Tony's seat too soon. Now that I think about it,some us are doing the same thing with the Son of Rusty. 37.

Kenseth has won races and a championship without the unnecessary drama. All Busch has done so far is have a similar season that Ryan Newman had back in '03. Baker, you probably need to go get your prescription refilled again. 38. DaleSrFanForever posted: 04.17.2009 - 12:35 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) "You're still the moronic twit.

So really, you have no basis you have for calling him Sir Wrecksalot." The Daytona wreck started when Rusty's Son squeezed Jason Leffler which made Jason mad so he wrecked him. Yes, Jason was totally out of line to do that, and he is a wrecking machine himself, but Rusty's Son put himself in a bad position by doing that. The Vegas wreck, he got involved in that because he was in the back because he spun out under caution. And Nashville, Sir Wrecksalot spun out, and went to the back again. That is what I am talking about. You apologists talk about "improvement". He is nowhere close to where he should be in his third full season, with an additional half season in '06. He is WAY behind the curve. He is still putting himself in bad positions constantly which he should have quit doing a long time ago. Anyone else would have been fired and forgotten. Sir Wrecksalot doesn't deserve his full time ride. Look at Steven Leicht. He WON a race for for pre-Roush Yates Racing, and can't get a full time ride. Put him in the #66 car and I guarantee the results will be better. S**** is only still in NASCAR cause his Daddy owns the team and is delusional. 39.

Steve saw a hole in the draft, put his car in it, and Leffler took him out. I don't see how passing a car can be considered to be putting yourself in a bad position. "He is nowhere close to where he should be in his third full season" So where exactly do you think he should be? He's 10th in the points (among Nationwide drivers) with with three top 10s. I'm not sure what else you expect. "Look at Steven Leicht." The only reason he isn't running the full Nationwide schedule is because he has a car owner who insists on letting his Cup drivers dip their greedy fingers into the Nationwide series. I hope you're not trying to blame Steve for that. 40. New14&88 Fan posted: 04.17.2009 - 10:10 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) "You can't possibly put Kyle Busch in the same league as Matt Kenseth.

That's not what I was doing Kit.I was making a point that Joey Logano aka Moldy Bread was hyped by the media and moved up to Cup because everyone expected him to be a superstar right out of the box.I could also argue the same for Scott Speed and Steve Wallace but that's a discussion for another day. 41.

I don't see how passing a car can be considered to be putting yourself in a bad position." The hole wasn't big enough. He swiped Jason's nose. He is lucky that isn't what started the crash. Then to have the nerve to throw a water bottle at him after all the wrecks he has caused was ridiculous. "So where exactly do you think he should be? He's 10th in the points (among Nationwide drivers) with with three top 10s. I'm not sure what else you expect." I expect him to not continuously put himself in bad situations almost every week. At Phoenix he wrecked in qualifying trashing yet another car. And he should have at least scared a win by now. "The only reason he isn't running the full Nationwide schedule is because he has a car owner who insists on letting his Cup drivers dip their greedy fingers into the Nationwide series. I hope you're not trying to blame Steve for that." No, I'm blaming Rusty for not demoting Sir Wrecksalot and putting somebody more deserving in there. "Okay, how about this fun little fact. At Nashville, Wallace outran Leicht all day and out finished." It was Leicht's first race of the year and only his 6th Nationwide race in the last two seasons. Sir Wrecksalot SHOULD have finished ahead of him. "Why do you waste so much time talking down on drivers that you don't like?" Because people like Rusty's Son are ruining my favorite sport. If this were any other sport he would have been canned a LONG time ago. Hell, he never would have made it to this level in the first place. When people like Michael Waltrip and Sir Wrecksalot get full time sponsorship and are allowed to race full time on the upper levels despite obviously being out of their league, it makes NASCAR look ridiculous. "It's not like you even have your facts straight." What more facts do you need? 3 and a half years on the watered down Nationwide circuit and he has never gone more than 4 races without wrecking himself or somebody else in practice, qualifying, or the race itself. 94 starts, 2 Top 5s, 10 Top 10s, 45 laps led, 34 lead lap finishes. That is pathetic.
