Sad to say, I'm still anticipating that she'll be doing some Cup racing in the near future despite the fact she clearly lacks the talent to even approach racing at that level. Some low budget team will probably see the money she brings in and won't be able to resist hiring her.. 8.

Boat took over the #17, so the car never technically withdrew, nor is it listed as having withdrawn.

Ty Dillon's in the top-10 as well. Even if his hope of Rookie of the Year was C/chased away, he's still my 2nd favorite Nationwide driver and 5th on my overall list. He may be 3rd in points in his rookie year, like Austin. He'd be a bit like his brother. 3rd in points, so his spot in the standings matches his car number, just like Austin. I may hate the idea of a rookie champ, but I know a few things. 51.

BMan0213 posted: 09.27.2014 - 5:46 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) "Kwasniewski rookie season has been a complete bust" 100% agree. I wasn't expecting a season out of him like the one say Chase is having, but i expected Kwasniewski to at least to be competing for top 10's. As the season has gone on its become painfully obvious that he was rushed into the series. As much as people rag on them i wish more team owners would do what Richard did with the Dillon's and let these kids develop in the trucks before throwing them in the nationwide cars. 83. cjs3872 posted: 09.27.2014 - 5:47 pm Rate this comment: (1) (1) Well, I think the engraver needs to get ready, because I believe Chase Elliott has this championship wrapped up, lock, stock, and barrel. He added five more points to his lead on Regan Smith (from 20 to 25), seven on Ty Dillon (from 38 to 45), and nobody else really matters any more. But what I thought might end up being a battle for third may end up being a battle for second, because Regan Smith is now actually closer to Ty Dillon than he is to Chase Elliott. Unless Elliott chokes in the final few races, this championship belongs to him. (Given how she dislikes the thought of a rookie winning the title, imagine the horror for racefangurl if rookies finish both first AND second in points, something I think has a realistic chance of happening.) 84. 23andJoe posted: 09.27.2014 - 5:57 pm Rate this comment: (2) (0) >The thing is 23andJoe. #87 had no backup. It was harmon car with a number change. No RWR Logos or nothing lol. IM Said the original team WD the #87 and Harmon took over the #87. Hard thing to explain i guess That doesn't matter. Teams have been doing deals like this for as long as NASCAR's been around. If the #87 had withdrawn, /they would not have their starting spot for Harmon to buy/. They would have been out of the race, entirely, and the #74 would have been bumped into the field as the next qualified car - and as the #74. Harmon bought the spot, Harmon renumbered his car as the #87, but it is still the RWR #87 as far as NASCAR is concerned, just being sent to the rear of the field due to using a backup car and having a driver change. If Harmon had ENTERED his car as the #87 - as Ware and JD Motorsports have done most of the year for what is, nominally, still NEMCO's number - then listing it as Mike Harmon, Team Owner would be appropriate. But that's not what happened, and therefore the #87 of Josh Reaume did NOT withdraw. 85. KS posted: 09.27.2014 - 5:58 pm Rate this comment: (2) (0) The 87 did not withdraw. If they withdrew, there would not have been a #87 car in the race. There was a "driver change" and Mike Harmon drove the 87 "backup car" in the race. Same thing that happened with Berryhill and Boat earlier in the season. Qualifying crash destroyed car, no backup so renumber one of the DNQ's as the backup car and let that driver run. Thus the owner of the 87 was Mike Harmon. 86. Birddog posted: 09.27.2014 - 6:01 pm Rate this comment: (1) (0) Per nascar- To the rear:No. 87 Mike Harmon (backup car, driver change 87.

I'm convinced it's not the fact that Chase is a rookie is what bothers her so much about the idea of him winning the championship, but that rather it's because she has some strange, completely irrational hatred for Elliott himself. Seriously, every time I see a post from her on here, I have to resist the urge to facepalm myself. I understand that she has Asperger's (I am an Aspie myself), but being an Aspie doesn't give you an excuse to act so utterly irrational. 89.

Between Logano and the #22 dominating the entire first half and Kyle dominating the second half...it sounds like a dream race for ESPN-who, like several others here, I can't wait to see go after the end of this year. 90.

And teams have even withdrawn already qualified cars for the biggest race on the circuit, the Daytona 500. Two examples that come to my mind are the situation with car owner John Gwinn in the 1977 Daytona 500, as he qualified two cars, both of which used the #32. One was qualified by veteran owner/driver Henley Gray, who also had a car in that race as an owner that bob Burcham drove to ninth place, and the other one was qualified by Bobby Wawak. Gwinn withdrew the car qualified by Gray, which put two-time and reigning Indianapolis 500 champion Johnny Rutherford into that race (J.R. had failed to qualify, but the withdrawal of the car qualified by Gray put Rutherford into the race in John Ray's car a year after Ray's terrible crash in the '76 Daytona 500), and Wawak fatefully started the race in the other car, which burst into flames four laps into the race. Another case was the withdrawal of Jack Ingram from the 1984 Daytona 500 after he had successfully made the race in a third Junior Johnson car. What happened here was that in the Sportsman race the day before the Daytona 500, Doug Richert, Neil Bonnett's crew chief, broke his leg in a pit road accident, and with no crew chief for the third car, Johnson withdrew it, creating an incorrect starting grid from rows 15 on back, as everyone should have been moved up, but the inside rows were moved up a row instead. And there are too many examples of teams switching car numbers to even mention. One of the most bizarre cases of this came in the 1976 Daytona 500. For many years, Bill Champion's team ran car #10 and John Ray was, at that time, running car #77. But for that race, the two decided on a switch of car numbers, and Ray ran the #10 in the Daytona 500 for Champion, and Champion attempted to qualify the #77 for Ray, but failed to do so. Of course, lost in the hoopla of what happened at the end of that race was the terrible crash Ray was involved in when pole sitter Ramo Stott's engine blew on the 117th lap, and he spun in the oil, with Ray spinning right behind him and getting t-boned by Skip Manning, who himself was a substitute driver that day, having replaced Ferrell Harris in car #82 when Manning failed to qualify Billy Hagan's #92 car for that race. Ray was lucky to even survive that crash, as he suffered multiple serious to severe injuries, but did survive the crash. But Ray and Champion did a car number swap for that race, and that kind of thing was happening even before that. 96. epzik8 posted: 09.27.2014 - 9:02 pm Rate this comment: (0) (2) I thought I was going to miss the second half of this race because I went out to eat, but it was on a TV at the restaurant I went to.

She said that the idea of a rookie being champion was...well, you know by now. But when confronted with multiple instances of rookies winning titles in the past, she immediately dismissed it because they weren't 18 years old. 99.

I'm ok with rookies in 2nd, even. And Ty Dillon's one of my secondary drivers. Truex wasn't 18 when he was a rookie champ. I've tried to let people know it's that Chase is 18, in addition to being a rookie that's the problem. Ever since I found out about Trevor Bayne's MS diagnosis, I've been unable to allow a new driver climb beyond 7th on my all-time favorite driver list. Here's my list 1. Trevor Bayne 2. Joey Logano (a very close 2nd since he made the Chase last year and would've been solidly in without the 25-point penalty) After Joey, it's all my lesser drivers 3. Martin Truex, Jr. (a distant 3rd these days) 4. Landon Cassill, Austin Dillon (Dillon was 5th, but moved to 4th when he became a Cup driver) 5. Cole Whitt, Ryan Truex, Ty Dillon and Jeffrey Earnhardt The next group I'm neutral on this group, but only because of something about them 6. Justin Allgaier (don't know much about him, but he used a song I like as a Bristol intro song this year), Michael McDowell (kind of a nobody, but associated with K-Love, a radio station I like and used one of their songs as a Bristol intro song this year), Steve Park (old and seems to be done with NASCAR now) Dale Earnhardt, Jr. (seems like a good guy in certain ways, but I don't like his swearing) and Danica Patrick (she's a female but not that good a driver and like Jr., I don't like her swearing)Sometimes, some driver will temporarily need to join them, but now's not like that. 7. All other drivers, unless I'm mad at someone, which isn't the case, at least for now. 8. None now, but if I get mad at someone, this is where they go. 101.

Pretty much it means you're sense of emotions and ability to read body language is below average. Likewise, it can cause people to be irrationally emotional about things... or in racefangurl's case cloud their ability to use even an ounce of logic in a discussion. 103.

Was when they limited the amount of Provisionals one could use. (The DW Rule as some called it :)) He kept the #85 for the race, and would have been Carl Long's first WC race I believe. DW ran the full race, finished 14 laps down. Fast Forward... 2006 Coca Cola 600 - Michael took over the #74 from Derrike Cope after missing the race. This was the year he drove Dodges for Bill Davis with no factory support. This was due to him announcing early that he would be switching to Toyotas in 2007. Unlike Darrell, they renumbered this to #55, mainly due to the NAPA Sponsorship. He went out early, due to brake issues. 104.

I feel he's worth it, though. I'm only 15 months older than him, he raced at Adirondack International Speedway (as I've said, I live within 20 miles of the track), believe in his talent, he's got a good personality and is a Christian. Some of the music he likes is music I like, K-Love music, that is. That list I mentioned has added only Cole Whitt and Danica Patrick since spring 2011. Cole Whitt was added when he made his Cup debut and Danica Patrick was added after she came to the Cup. Maybe I'm irrationally emotional and I let my emotions keep from using logic in regard to the Nationwide championship. My heart wants an experienced driver, like Regan Smith to win because I have low expectations of rookies. I've followed the Nationwide since 2011 and the earliest in their Nationwide stint a driver was champion was the next year from Rookie of the Year. Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. was Rookie of the Year in '10, they said and was '11's champ. Austin Dillon was ROTY in '12 and won the championship last year. I guess I want Chase to be like that. 107. racefangurl posted: 09.28.2014 - 3:13 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) @105, either you don't have a user name or you made a post without it. If you asked about Asperger's the rest of this post is for you. Asperger's means you have trouble communicating nonverbally, have social and behavioral oddities, sensory issues (for example,I have sensitive ears, so I'd need ear plugs for a live race), restricted interests (focusing on one thing or very few things), perhaps poor coordination (often present but not required for diagnosis) and possibly emotional problems(I've been easily frustrated in my life, but some have anxiety and depression or anger problems) and don't have a low IQ. It's like high functioning autism without a speech delay, basically. Sometimes people on the autism spectrum, which Asperger's is part of are drawn to bright objects and certain noises (other noises can be disliked), as well repetitive motion, like something spinning around and around. Many intelligent autistic people are fascinated with letters and numbers, hyperlexia it's called. Many autistic NASCAR fans, I think, are drawn to the color, the sound of the race on TV or the movement and I read the fascination with letters and numbers can be a factor as well. Many people that are autistic prefer to be called that as opposed to with autism. Dover's June race has benefitted Autism Speaks, btw. 108.

Chase's numbers are 3 wins, 14 top-5's, 22 top-10 and 1 pole. If Chase has 2 more top-5's and 5 more top-10's in the next 5 races, his numbers will be 1 more win with the same number of top-5's and top-10's as Austin. If he got 2 more poles, his numbers would really almost match Austin's. It's the principle that bothers me as far as an 18 year old rookie champ. I have low expectations regarding rookies. Maybe if they're really good, at least at some type of track, they can win at a track of that type, but anything beyond that, I feel is too good. So Chase's result will seem too good to be true if he was to be champ and to me, that means there was a script. They made circumstances that overcame his being an 18 year old rookie. I think he's good enough to be a race winning Rookie of the Year on his own merits. But outside dumbed down, rigged, fixed or scripted racing, I don't feel more than 2nd or 3rd with a win or few is possible from rookies. 116.

At least if there's truth in that comment on the Cup page. I'd say "The Nationwide has its own version of Gordo this year." 118.

This is not the top level of auto racing. A rookie winning a Nationwide title means that it's a serious talent who deserves a Cup ride. The Cup Series is waaaaaaay more difficult. Please try to understand that. Rookies win championships in lower divisions in any sport you can possibly imagine, and that includes motorsports. They don't usually win titles their first year in the top series though. You have to think about the variables beyond "a rookie can only do what Austin Dillon did". Austin Dillon is NOT a top tier Cup talent, and he came close to winning the Nationwide title. You can pretend that the series is a joke if a rookie wins, but in all reality, it's a statement for how good that rookie is. Remember, these guys aren't racing Jeff Gordon or Brad Keselowski for the championship. The competition is nothing when compared to Cup. So yes, it is a "dumbed down" series in a way. Don't watch the minor leagues if you're going to have issues with a young new driver standing out. This is how scouting works in sports. Future top level stars STAND OUT. 119.

I got Ricky's numbers from that year off his page. 6 wins 19 top-5's 26 top-10's and 4 poles. These were Ricky's 2011 numbers, since he was champ that year. 2 wins 16 top-5's 26 top-10's and 3 poles. Not a real big Ricky fan, but I just thought I'd show his numbers from when he was champ. Austin in 2013 and Ricky in 2011 were a year removed from being Rookie of the Year when they won their first and in Austin's case, only Nationwide championship, so they were in somewhat similar situations. I guess I think if Chase can do what, say Austin couldn't, it makes Austin look bad. I kinda like Austin. Maybe I'm a NASCAR fangirl to think like that. And I've said, if Chase is Nationwide champ, I won't watch the series after this year, at least as I have this year. I may check results to see how any secondary driver of mine did, but that's it. With my Nationwide driver moving on up, I have that option. However, if circumstances allow say, Regan Smith to overtake Chase for the championship, I'll watch the series as I have since 2011. 121. racefangurl posted: 10.02.2014 - 11:05 pm Rate this comment: (0) (0) The difference in Austin and Ricky is Austin moved up after his first championship and Ricky had one more year and another championship before he moved on.

That literally makes no sense. If you don't have a driver to cheer for in the series and rather not watch the series, that's cool. But to stop watching because someone who you feel is too young and too inexperienced to win the title actually wins the title? That's not logical. 123.

If you've seen my favorites list, I have two secondary Nationwide drivers now. My Nationwide driver's number in the series is 6 and it's planned he'll bring it to the Cup next year. I hope he can and even show he deserves it. For him next year, I believe anything is possible, at least within what race circumstance permit. As long as he can race. I hope he has many years in the Cup, whether it's in the 6 all his Cup career or he moves to some other team that's willing to take him. I hope Roush can fix the aerodynamic issues Biffle said they had this year and Mark Martin can help the younger Roush drivers. Even Ricky's under 30, so he could perhaps benefit from a mentor. 125.
