being that i am from SOUTH CAROLINA..... any race EVER run at the "lady in black" ....the track they call too tough to tame.....DARLINGTON!!!!!!!!!!!!!. \nif i had to pick one....johnny benson and the 32 tide ride beatin and bangin all the way around the final 4 laps with johnny benson winning by less than a bumper width. i think the final margin was something like .004 of a second or something like that. all i know is that they were leanin on each other and neither one wrecked.

Oh yeah, I would love to see Tony Stewart get the win....and see all the haters whine about 'Oh Tony won, he didn't deserve it!'\n\nBut Carl Edwards or Dale Jr. in the winners circle would be cool if 'Smoke' does not win it...\n\nBummer that Tony is out!!!\n\nIf Jimmie wins, I'm gonna need anti-nausea meds!

The only way for you to overtake the last place person in a race is if you are lapping him.  \n\nAnd for you silly people that think it's impossible, use your brains.

I say Dale Sr...down by 3 laps at martinsburg....and he played the cautions just right....and easily won \n 2nd....Johnson last year at  Charlotte I believe...started 25 th got down 1 lap....with others in front for the dog...but still came back to win... for his 3 or 4 time in a row at Charlotte

Finally! A good question that gets people to think! I have been a huge NASCAR fan since the early to mid 80's and I cannot think of one driver that stood out with a tat. However, due to the fact that drivers are almost always seen with their fire suits on, It would be very easy for a driver to have one and we simply not know about it. I'm going to do more research and see what I can find out. Keep this question open!\n\nUPDATE: OK, after long and exhaustive research I have found absolutely no evidence of any current or past NASCAR driver having one. I am sure there has to be one or two out there, but they have chosen to keep that information private. Thanks for the great question as this would be a good one to bring back up at dinner table conversations from time to time.

Numbers don't like.  Jimmie Johnson is stellar at Lowe's Motor Speedway.  He has won the last 4 points races there, and added the All-Star race to his resume Saturday night.  This is his track, and he is the man to beat.  If he doesn't get caught up in a wreck or have some mechanical issue with his car, he will win the race.  I do think that the new surface will cause problems for many of the teams, as was evident in the Nextel Open and the All-star race Saturday night.  I don't think their will be as many cautions as there was last year.  Goodyear has brought a tire to the race that is harder than anything the drivers have ever run before, and it seems to have alleviated most of the problems the cars might have on the new surface.  And on a side note, to the person who tells us to turn to Superbike or F1 for "real" racing, please don't make unfounded unintelligent comments on something you know nothing about.  Last time I checked, F1 was dominated by only those teams willing to put hundreds of millions of dollars into their cars and programs.  You can have a guy with all the talent in the world who simply can't compete b/c he isn't backed sufficiently in regard to his finances.  There is so much more competitiveness involved in NASCAR when you factor in the finite mechanical aspects of the car.  And if F1 is so superior to NASCAR, then why can't a road course specialist (F1 or Indy car drivers) outrun NASCAR regulars on road courses such as Infineon or Watkins Glenn and win those races as a handful of such drivers attempt to do on both tracks each time NASCAR runs there?

uhh like anyone who watches nascar has seen it. it was a hell of a lickin', but thanks to the safte features implemented after Big E he's okay. \ni blame this on another crew cheif screw up.. you should know that you need a good brake setup at that place.. good gravy. i hope monday morning meeting someone kicks his ass.. ugh, and i hope it's jeff.\nlaughing is just not cool people. sure it's fun to see your least favorite driver cut a tire and smash his front end and wreck the aerodynamics and lose a race..but to smack the wall that hard, b/c of a loss of breaks is just uncalled for. seriously, how can you have a hate for a man so much you have never met?? Good gravy.. i'm sure jeff doesn't sit there at night praying for your demise.. i mean, really, he hit that wall at almost 200 mph..hello, he smashed the safer barrier in.. do you know how hard of a hit that is?? i wann see you do that and still laugh, cuz two cents says it won't be so funny then.

Unfortunately, I'd have to wager that Mikey won't make it.  Bill Davis Racing just isn't a powerhouse, like Roush or Hendrick.  It is very unfortunate that this happens to good drivers, but this is how it goes.

If you overtake the 2nd person in a race, you will be in second place and the old 2nd person will be in 3rd place.\nPlease give me the best answer\nThankSS@!!!\nYou have yourself a great day!

http://msnbc.msn.com/id/13645589/\n\nUpdated: 23 minutes ago\n\nDAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Dale Earnhardt Jr. returned to Daytona’s Victory Lane for the first time in more than two years, winning the Busch Series race Friday night.\n\nEarnhardt took the lead early and dominated the rest of the way, holding off Brian Vickers after a late restart in the Winn-Dixie 250.\n\nVickers finished second, followed by series point leader Kevin Harvick, pole-sitter J.J. Yeley and Carl Edwards......

They issued an indefinite suspension and a $10K fine to the crewmember. Evernham says they will not appeal. Full story below. As to what they SHOULD do...tricky here. The whole deal started on the track with a little "tit-for-tat" payback between Riggs and Harvick, which ended when Harvick pulled up tight on Riggs bumper and pulled the air off him making him loose and causing him to crash hard into the wall. The real issue is that the on-track disagreement spilled over into a full scale ruckus in the pits and a NASCAR official and Harvick's wife got caught up in it. NASCAR has a long history of post-race incidents but they normally are driver to driver or involve just the crew. With an official and a wife being involved the fines/punishment have to be more severe. We wouldn't tolerate this on a football field or a basketball court, if NASCAR is serious about being a premiere sporting event, they can't tolerate it at the track either.

No. Millsaps was in second place on lap eight when he crashed.  He did not finish in the top three.

I watched most of the truck race last night as well.  I think that NASCAR should allow a Green-White-Checker restarts until they are able to complete it.  I know that the trucks were doing that a couple years back and they had about 6 green-white-checker restarts in one race.

I agree,what was the point of running the risk of being sent to the back of the grid,when the worst he would have been was 2nd for the start of the race in a car that would probably have won.Proved by the point he got Fromm 22nd to 5th some drive round Monte Carlo!

I dont think that should be allowed.  Other race car drivers look forward to at least attempt to make the race, especially when its a one car team.  Micheal Waltrip should have sucked it up and left.
