Kasey Kahne used some late race Tony Stewart bad luck to win on back to back weekends at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.

After the last batch of gas and go stops for the leaders it looked for all the world like Stewart would get his first win of the season. Kahne’s pit crew took seven more seconds on pit lane to get the last bit of fuel into the Budweiser Charger than Stewart’s crew did and it looked as if that may end up being the margin of victory.

Stewart’s luck didn’t hold up as he blew a tire with three to go; allowing Kahne to seize his second victory in as many weeks and his first points paying win in fifty-three tries. Dale Earnhardt Jr. led for much of the middle of the race but he also had tire problems on lap 297; blowing a right rear, hitting the wall and being punted by JJ Yelley, forcing him to work his way back to the front.

“I was thinking second, and then I saw Tony slow up, I thought he was out of gas, and I couldn’t believe it. He went into Turn 1 and he was high (in the corner), and when I came off Turn 2 he was low and slow.”

Kahne is only the sixth driver to win the All-Star race and the 600 in the same year, joining Jimmy Johnson, who was the last to do it in 2003.

This all leads us to this week’s BUZZ ON PIT ROW:

Will Junior’s and Tony’s luck change before the end of the season?

Please let us know what you think and we may usee your comments on this weeks ON PIT ROW. To listen live click here at 5pm ET on Tuesday 5-27-08. Scheduled to appear is Speed’s Wendy Venturini.

 Do you think that “the incident” at Richmond International Raceway Saturday night was evidence of the “vengeance of the Shrub”?  After-all, Dale Earnhardt Jr did spin out of the lead because of contact with the guy who used to have his seat at Hendrick Motorsports. 

Just about everybody that we have talked to in the last week - from Larry McReynolds to Joey Logano say that they think this was a racing deal.  Plain fact.  I just can’t find the stones to argue that.

I may not agree with Tim Zaegel or Bruce Simmons though, as we each give our opinions on three separate, NASCAR related topics in this week’s Loose In Turn 3 go-round.  Here’s my question of the week.

Should NASCAR drop the “ruse” of team owners being allowed only four Cup teams?

Charlie:  First, you have to believe that the present rule is a false one. The rule was written with a real intent to limit the size and power of the super-team organizations.  The advent of satellite teams for the Hendrick, Gibbs and Roush’s of the NASCAR world has effectively circumvented the spirit, if not the actual law, of the original ruling.  That said, there is still a limiting effect on the big teams which gives an impression that teams like Hall of Fame Racing and Yates Racing are maintaining independence.  I say let the ruse continue.

Bruce:  I think it’s ridiculous that they pretend to have a team limit.  First, owners, their wives, their kids, heck, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone’s dog shows up as an owner some day.  Now that we have satellite teams forming with partnerships, it’s getting even more complicated.  (I’ll avoid the ridiculous term here for the moment)  So if a team has a limit, is there a limit to how many satellite teams a team can have a team under with a team? (Look out Dr Seuss)

TZ:  I think that between the both of you, you two hit the nail on the head on this topic.  There is one thing Charlie said though, about Yates Racing maintaining independence, because they would actually be involved in the basis of my argument on this.  Yates is the beneficiary of Roush-Fenway in so many ways, it’s not even funny.  Roush plays a huge role in their engines, they’ve been trying to help them lock on some sponsorship deals, and in 2010, they’ll probably be handing them a driver.  To answer the question though, not only should they “continue the ruse” as Charlie put it, but I would actually like to see them limit it to three teams - that’ll never happen though.

There you have it.  That’s what we think.  What do you think?

Continue the discussion with Tim’s post:

Do you think that the Nationwide Series will ever truly develop its own identity and if so, what will it be?

Bruce’s post asks for comment on this:

Denny Hamlin is having the worst luck in the world.

The pressure is off for NASCAR fantasy players this week.  If you participate in a Sprint Cup Series fantasy game, you get an extra week to figure out your best picks to win your NASCAR fantasy league since the Cup Series is on Easter break. 

Perhaps now is the time to plot your ultimate winning strategy.  Or line up your latest wild ass guesses, which is what I’m planning to do.  For me, putting too much thought into this whole thing hurts my head.  But that doesn’t stop me.  In fact it got me to thinking about why certain drivers - having all of the requisite tools and pedigree - just can’t close the deal.  At least not as often as it seems they should.

Of the current crop of Cup competitors, Casey Mears and Jamie McMurray are the two that jump out at me.  Both drivers are approaching 200 starts in Cup rides ranging from pretty good to top-shelf.

McMurray won in his second start ever after taking over for an injured Sterling Marlin- who could very well make this list too  - and then went win-less, through the rest of his Ganassi career and high profile drives for Roush Racing, until 2007’s summer Daytona race. 

Mears broke the ice last year with his first win, but had nothing to show for his Ganassi seat time and, I’m betting, not enough to keep the Hendrick franchise happy much longer.

Those are winning percentages along the lines of .5 to 1%.  If that criteria is followed, I hate it but I have to put Kyle Petty in here too.  Eight wins in 819 starts makes winning a rare enough occurrence for someone who, at times has been in top equipment.  Sorry Kyle, it just seems like you should have been first more than this.

Picking four was tougher that I thought it would be.  I keep wanting to go back to New Zealander and 60’s-70’s F1 driver Chris Amon.  Amon drove for the best teams and was acknowledged by peers and journalist’s alike as  one of the best for more than a decade.  But he never won a race.   If I pick him, I’ll never hear the end of it from Steve - who thinks I live totally in the past - or Marc, who actually does.

No, unfortunately I’ll have to call recent ON PIT ROW guest and genuine good guy, Jeremy Mayfield out as my fourth enigma.  Big contracts with top teams (allegedly at least) Penske Racing and Evernham Motorsports produced just 5 wins in 425 Cup starts.  Mayfield did qualify for the Chase a couple times though, which ought to count for something.

Luke has an interesting take at the Thunder Lounge on the current crop of Rookie of the Year candidates, and how NASCAR’s goofy qualifying rules can screw with that race.  I just wonder if any of the four ROY favorites will make a list like mine in five or ten years.

Robby Gordon’s winter of discontent continues.

NASCAR came down on Robby Gordon Motorsports hard this week. Robby’s team installed and tried to practice with an unapproved nose on his new Dodge at Daytona. Officials found it to not be in compliance and once the penalties were handed down, Robby’s top ten finish at the 500 won’t carry top ten points.

The, now standard, 100 team and driver points deduction and $100,000 fines were enacted. NASCAR’s unwavering penalty for CoT violations seems a bit harsh considering some of the other violations from last year that received this same penalty. I have been a big supporter of NASCAR consistency and the concept of a standard for penalty calculations. But; somehow, NASCAR has to find a way to differentiate penalties in regards to intent and severity.

“This was an innocent mistake made by someone not even on my team. They accidentally supplied us the new Dodge noses that NASCAR hasn’t yet approved because of what amounted to a clerical error. It was discovered during technical inspection and corrected before the race. It was not even close to being an intent to create some competitive advantage, and the mistake was not even made by my team.”

Reading that quote from Robby, makes you feel sorry for the GEM employee squished by the bus that just rolled over them. Does this violation equal those from 2007 at Michael Waltrip Racing and their fuel violations? Not in my mind. but can fans or NASCAR be certain that what Robby says is the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

“To penalize my team the same amount when we didn’t even make the mistake”, Robby continued, “and the mistake was nothing more than inadvertent human error by someone else is just not fair. Other teams who have had similar issues to what happened with the nose on my car were only penalized 25 points.”

I have been a Robby supporter from the first time I met him. His determination and drive to succeed are unmatched. He carries the #7 proudly. He reminds race fans of the late Alan Kulwicki with his work ethic and single minded goals. I applaud that in him and felt bad for him when the Dakar Rally was canceled earlier this winter. That is a race he poured a lot of money, time and effort into with no results; a race he could win.

While the fines and penalties may not fit the crime in this instance, I will stand by NASCAR’s quest to standardize penalties. They may just need to add a couple of levels. Not every violation in the NFL results in “15 yard penalty”. Robby is appealing his fines and suspensions with NASCAR. It will allow him to continue with business as usual for a couple of weeks. But, just like Dakar, it’s a battle he can’t win–at least not this year.

I want to write about the racing - really I do. But business news keeps getting in the way. It’s time to Shut up and Drive already!

While scanning the NASCAR feeds for something to light me up - something other than testing speeds or how wonderful the the Car of Today has become - I found this headline.

Gillette Evernham Motorsports names team CEO

Tom Reddin is the new head honcho at GEM. I wonder how much longer there will be an “E” in the name. Ray Evernham may take some comfort in the fact that the acronym “GM” is already taken. I don’t think I would.

I’m not writing about Ray though. This is about handwriting. As in handwriting on the wall. Here’s a quote, lifted from Scene Daily’s article, from Brian France Tom Reddin.

“NASCAR is changing,” he said in a news release. “These race teams now are top-flight businesses that have to be as good off the track in the business community as they are on the track. I have grown and built businesses my entire career. To succeed in this sport in the coming years, you are going to have to have a business plan that provides a major win for your business partners, your drivers and your employees. Success will center on people, process and technology. You have to excel in all three dimensions.”

Does that give anyone else a chill? It’s not that I disagree with Reddin because I don’t. I do have a hard time imagining a conversation at Petty Enterprises or the Wood Brothers that features the words “people, process and technology”, prominently. NASCAR’s tradition continues on its slippery slope.

But maybe Reddin brings hope, along with pie-charts. He was involved with LendingTree in it’s early years and responsible for that company’s very successful - “When Banks Compete, You Win” - ad campaign. If he believes that customers win through competition maybe he will be a force in ending the Top Thirty Five qualifying rule. We can only hope.

It has been well reported that Robby Gordon has dumped his Ford stuff in favor of Dodges and a working agreement with Gillett/Evernham.

Much of what has been written about this change has been about how this will affect Robby and his team. But; what impact will this have on GEM and why was it in their best interest to bring the Robby’s team under the GEM umbrella?

Most importantly this gives GEM another guaranteed car in the field every week at the start of the season. More cars in the field equals more information gained for all involved. 2007 was a nightmare season for GEM. They were behind on the development of the CoT and their old car program went up in smoke with over reliance on some less than competent engineers. 2008 needs to be a turn-around year for GEM and having Robby in the fold, even as a satellite team, makes them stronger.

Just as building and supplying engines to Petty Enterprises and BAM makes Gillette-Evernham’s engine program better, having more cars on the track every weekend will strengthen a team surely needing to make a rebound.

This week The Fast Lap asks:

1) Who will benefit most from the new alliance; Robby Gordon or GEM?

2) With The Wood Brothers being the only full-time  independant Ford team left, is Ford interested in anyone other than Roush carrying the Blue Oval banner?

3) Everyone is well aware of the lack of a rivalry between Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon. Is there anything currently close to the Petty/Allison or Waltrip/Yarbrough rivalries of the past?

4) Twin 150s or the 500?

Lets have your opinions on these. Remember; if we like your comments, whether we agree or disagree, we could use them on this week’s broadcast of ON PIT ROW. ON PIT ROW can be heard live via streaming audio every week, Tuesdays at 5pm ET. Just click on LISTEN LIVE on the home page.

So Robby Gordon is switching from Ford to Dodge - who cares you say?

Ford fans ought to. At the end of the 2007 Nextel Cup season, the Blue Oval brigade looked to be a solid number two in the manufacturer’s championship race going into 2008’s inaugural Sprint Cup Series season. The thinking was Roush-Fenway Racing had slipped up and fallen behind the CoT and general testing programs of the big Chevy outfits. The Ford faithful assumed that Jack Roush would straighten out the problems and restore Ford to at least competitive equality with the dominant Hendrick-Gibbs-Childress troika.

Observers of preseason testing are telling us otherwise. The Joe Gibbs Racing move to Toyota has boosted that brand’s prospects. Many experts think that Toyota may well jump to number two status. Boris Said told us on last week’s ON PIT ROW that the speed and sheer numbers of the Toyotas will make it very tough for his Ford team to qualify for non-road course races.

Ford vs Dodge

The real question is; can Ford keep from falling to fourth, behind Dodge in the Cup Series? Look at the rosters of the two makes and compare.

Ford teams will field eight full time teams in 2008, led by Roush-Fenway’s fivesome. Dodge enters 2008 with a lucky thirteen. Seven of Ford’s eight have top 35 owner’s points while Dodge gets twelve of it’s thirteen in each of the first five races. So far it looks like, advantage Dodge, if quantity counts. If you’re one of those quality folks - here’s my personal Power Ranking of the Ford vs Dodge NASCAR battle.

1. #17 Ford -Matt Kenseth - past champ, two time 2007 race winner and Chaser
2. #2 Dodge - Kurt Busch - see above
3. #99 Ford - Carl Edwards - three time race winner in 2007 and Chaser
4. #12 Dodge - Ryan Newman - 12 career wins, no Chase but a solid 2007
5. #9 Dodge - Kasey Kahne - Bad 2007 but won 6 in 2006 - just a hunch
6. #16 Ford - Greg Biffle - Missed the Chase but got a win
7. #26 Ford - Jamie McMurray - see Biffle
8. #42 Dodge - Juan Pablo Montoya - 2007 Rookie of the Year won a race too
9. #43 Dodge - Bobby Labonte - past champ finished ahead of Kahne and Montoya
10. #41 Dodge - Reed Sorenson - his 2007 points put him here
11. #6 Ford - David Ragan - ditto
12. #19 Dodge - Elliott Sadler - very tempted to rate higher
13. #7 Dodge - Robby Gordon - ditto
14. #38 Ford - David Gilliland - The Yates team is Ford’s wild card, they hope
15. #40 Dodge - Dario Franchitti - I think the 2008 ROY will drive a Dodge
16. #28 Ford - Travis Kvapil - see Gilliland
17. #21 Ford - Bill Elliott et al - Awesome Bill’s provisionals will payoff later with starts
18. #45 Dodge - Kyle Petty - Must stay in the top 35
19. #77 Dodge - Sam Hornish Jr - My pick for ROY, but I’m hedging that bet
20. #10 Dodge - Patrick Carpentier - Going to have a tough time qualifying to race

I give the nod to Dodge. Kurt Busch and Kenseth are a push. Maybe the Ford boys get a slight edge in slots 3 through 8 but Newman and Kahne have championship capability in them - it’s close. The Dodge advantage is in depth and the fact that it’s major teams are all aggressive and growing. I like the look of Gillette-Evernham, Penske, Ganassi-Sabates and even Petty Enterprises over Roush-Fenway and the struggling Yates and Wood Brothers.

The Super Bowl of NASCAR’s Sprint Cup Series kicks off in just over two weeks and Robby Gordon is switching teams.

Were you surprised by today’s announcement that Robby will end his association with Ford Racing and - as a consequence - leave the outer web of Jack Roush’s Ford Super Team?

NASCAR’s last real owner-driver will now fight the good fight with assistance - both technical and reportedly marketing - from Gillette-Evernham Motorsports. That’s GEM as in Dodge.

I speculated late last season that Robby Gordon Motorsports might join the Wood Brothers and form a Ford team more able to survive the new NASCAR. But others think that Gordon and Ford Racing just didn’t match up.

Well it’s over now and Ford Racing is the worse for it too. The Cat in the Hat’s web is down to the four Roush rides, the two Fusions of Doug Yates’ struggling satellite and the venerable Wood Brother’s one or two cars. There’s a real possibility of Chevy, Dodge and Toyota all having more qualifiers for the Daytona 500 than Ford.

Gillette-Evernham pick up a top thirty five qualified, satellite fourth car and one of the most talented drivers in the series.

RGM gets one more chance to prove that they can thrive in a competitive environment so hostile to single car operations that long term survival is a bad bet. I heard speculation as recently as last December that RGM might field a second car - maybe for Brendan Gaughan. That will probably have to wait now. There’s a race in a couple weeks. There are Dodges to build.

Even after an admittedly short, semi-off-season without NASCAR’s Chargers and Impalas, it’s tough to guard against putting too much stock in the daily results of the Preseason Thunder testing going on this week in Florida.

The NASCAR news for the last couple days has been full of reports of how Kyle the Younger Busch has been faster than anyone in Daytona.  Kyle’s switch from his Hendrick ride to a Gibbs Toyota would have been the big story most years in the France Republic. But 2007 saw his story barely make the top five, behind the loss of the late Bill France, a couple of Earnhardt related sagas and the Gibbs to Toyota switch.

One of our Fast Lap questions ON PIT ROW this week asked who has the most to prove at testing this month.  It might be Kyle, and if it is, he is showing some pretty good stuff so far.

Busch’s Joe Gibbs Racing team and even his manufacturer of choice, Toyota, have plenty to prove to sizable numbers of NASCAR watchers too.  Staunch Tony Stewart/Chevrolet followers are going to take plenty of convincing that Smoke’s kidnapping by them evil fereners was, in the long run, a good thing.  Tony being fast out of the 2008 box would help with that.

I’m sure that Earnhardt Jr feels some pressure to start well and he probably will.   How about Michael Waltrip, who may be feeling heat from sponsors and his manufacturer?  Do you think that J J Yeley might have a little extra motivation to put that Hall of Fame Racing Camry in front of a Gibbs car or two?

Yates Racing is looking for sponsorship.  Gillette-Everham Motorsports sucked last year and has all new sponsors - and partners - to please.  On and on and on, throughout the garage the pressure -  if it ever let up at all during the shortest winter in sports - is back on in full.  Thank you NASCAR.

ON PIT ROW’s OPeR awards were held on Tuesday, December 11, 2007.

Some surprise winners received their first OPeR while others, including SPEED-TV, continued on a win streak.  Jeff Gordon was shut out of an OPeR for the first time in memory. Here are the results as voted on by the ON PIT ROW staff:

Best and worst driver:

Best driver award goes to Jimmy Johnson for his late season drive to the championship.
Worst driver award goes to the transport driver that got caught trying to sneak his girlfriend into the race track and being snagged by NASCAR and his bride.

Best and worst crew chief:

Best crew chief is awarded to Chad Knaus for making all the right decisions when it counted most.
Worst crew chief is David Hyder for his ill fated attempt to add rocket power to the Michael Waltrip stable.

Best and worst owner:

Best owner OPeR goes to Rick Hendrick for not only providing the best equipment to the best teams but also bringing in the biggest name in the sport for 2008.
Worst owner goes to, hands down, Bobby Ginn for promises not kept and his ability to "big time" a major sport.

Best and worst team:

Best team is a given.  I said the #24 and #48 garage as a combo.  Charlie lobbied for just the #48 team for obvious reasons. I finally succumbed.
Worst team was the #10 team with Scott Riggs at the helm most of the year.  This was a team with high hopes on a team that was on a roll in 2006.  Expectations were not met.

Best and worst post race interview:

Best interview goes to Matt Kenseth as he was able to talk to reporters while teammate Carl Edwards was trying to clean his clock.
Worst post race interview was actually no interview at all.  Kyle Busch wins for his "walk away" as Junior was getting into Kyle’s wrecked car.   Foreshadowing at its finest.

Worst attempt at "adjusting the the rules":

NASCAR’s insistence on not doing anything about the ridiculous Top 35 rule gets the OPeR for sheer stupidity.

Best Jr. High School-like Drama:

The entire Dale Earnhardt Jr. saga played out like the best he said-she said drama of all time.  The parties that be, played the public for all they were worth with the multiple press conferences and the never ending speculation in regards to numbers and sponsors.  The whole thing played out like an episode of Hanna Montana.

Best and worst Radio/TV personality:

The best TV personality for 2007 was the newcomer–Kyle Petty.  Kyle was glib, refreshing and willing to give true insight into what drivers are thinking.  We can’t wait to hear more from Kyle in 2008.
Bill Weber wins the worst Media Personality award for his lack of personality.

Best and worst Nascar Network:

SPEED-TV wins again.  They consistently put on a great show.  Their pre and post race shows are the best.  Combine those shows with the qualifying and race coverage of the Craftsman Truck Series and ARCA and you have a winner.
ABC/ESPN was the big loser.  Again great expectations from fans and NASCAR were not met on any level.  They need to step up and get it done in 2008.

Best guest to appear ON PIT ROW:

This was the hardest award to give because of all the great people who have made ON PIT ROW so much fun to do.  Charlie took Lloyd Moore; the oldest living NASCAR and ARCA winner.  I took Jeff Hammond from the sheer number of times that Jeff made time for us.  Not only is he always entertaining, but there were several times that Jeff went above and beyond to get to a phone to be on the show.  Special honorable mentions go to Lee Spencer from Fox Sports and to David Poole from Sirius and the Charlotte Observer.
