seriously considering the 9 car if i can find out if he is driving the car that he won homestead, pocono, and indy with. that car seems to be built the way he likes it.

Love the 9 this week. But that's a great point about his car. If you find out, would you mind posting? Thanks! I haven't had much time to look yet this week, hopefully soon!

The air dam extension given to the Chevy Monte Carlo and Pontiac Grand Prix for the Aug. 18th race at Michigan will be used again at Darlington Raceway.
Pontiacs have an additional 1/2 inch of air dam, pushing them to 1 1/2 inch kickout and Chevys have an additional inch to reach 3 1/2 inches forward of the bumper.

looks like the rain will delay or end the race for today. you know i have always had a lot of luck on rainouts that were run on monday.

Scooter · 09-01-2002, 05:15 PM

Cat (and anyone else) - Any feeling about a buyback on T. Stewart over J. Gordon? In these matchups, a friend said he's seen as much as +130 on T. Stewart (vs. J. Gordon).

Scooter · 09-01-2002, 05:26 PM

Mayfield starting from the rear, due to an engine change.

Total Square · 09-01-2002, 05:43 PM

stewart +127 / gordon still up at pinnacle +125 at 5 dimes

caterpillar22 · 09-01-2002, 05:44 PM

i dont know, i left that mup alone mainly because i think either one of the 2 can win the race today. if i had of bet that one i think i would have flipped a coin. probably would take stewart with that value but i just stay away from mups like that where either can win the race.

caterpillar22 · 09-01-2002, 05:48 PM

also dont worry about that starting from the rear. spring race marlin started in the back and stormed his way through the field for the easy victory. if u have a good car the only thing about starting in the back is worrying about the other idiots back there with u. but these races are so long there is always plenty of time. the 88 car spun out at michigan and came back to win the race. i screwed up a couple times earlier this year in mups by going against a car starting in the back, one of them was marlin in the spring race here.
