Harvick takes out Johnson and a bunch of others! Wallace, Martin, Nemacheck

Wallace in the air on the backstretch
Johnson wants him fired
Nemachecks pissed
Martin looked like he was going to cry :(


Someone chucked a water bottle at Harvick when he came out of the care center :lol:

Sure would like to know what caused that uh...."loss of signal" :eek:

Yikes, not good. I may have to go back to my SCC picks and look 'em over again. :freak:

How do you know the NASCAR season has started?

Harvick is pissing people off!!!

Im not a fan of either, nor am i a hater of either, but i think people are being overcritical here. I dont think it was intentional, he just got a really good run on him goind into the corner and he wanted to keep the momentum to drop below johnson coming out of the corner but i think he had too much momentum. He could have let off the gas yes...but with yet another change that has dramatically hurt the pickup it probably would have caused a bunch up behind him and another wreck. I dont see that as intentional, its just one of those "deals of racing" as Rusty put it in a interview with a local station this evening. Of course i feel bad for everyone involved.

Feel really bad for Mark, but man hes gotta be more positive about his back up car!

edit:>>> i have the race TIVO'd and harvick did let out fo the gas a bit, is it possible Johnson let up a bit to bunch up the field behind him like he did in the Shootout?

I just find it hard to believe Harvick would intentionally do this is a qualifying race he is gauranteed a spot in (wiht a great car to boot). After watching it a few times i dont see what else he could do...lift more and cause a wreck that way?

This all goes back to last season and Harvicks comment about Johnson being lucky by winning all of those races. You've got me, but for some reason Kevin has a deep dislike for JJ. Heck, he tried to cut down JJ's tire on the green flag of the race. Well, hes been warned by NASCAR and you can bet your butt there will be a major ass eating by the old timers at the drivers meeting sunday mourning. Reminds me of the old Ernie Irvan days. ;) :)

*Shakes head*

This is what happens when you let a network with the tagline "We know drama" carry some of the races. Winst...er, Nextel Cup racing is turning into a soap opera.

Will Happy Harvick ever find happiness... and his lost collection of Care Bear stuffed animals?

Will Rusty, Johnson, and Mark get some cheese to go with their whine?

And will Joe Nemechek ever recover that water bottle... without having to pay a fortune on e-Bay?

Will Jimmy Spencer finally meet that brat Kurt Busch in a dark alley?

Will Joe Ruttman's '79 Dodge Magnum qualify at Rockingham?

Will Bill Elliott's fan club be in an uproar once they find out he isn't naturally a redhead?

Will Darrell Waltrip finally realize his dream and become an international pop star, or will "You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me, Loose Wheel" fail to crack the Billboard Hot 100?

Will Dick Trickle ever change his name?

And whatever happened to Lake Speed, Phil Parsons, Ernie Irvan, Delma Cowart, James Hylton, and Phil Barkdoll?

Tune in to "As The Wheel Turns" next week to find out!

Next week's episode, from Rockingham, North Caro....er, Fontana, California.

Joe Ruttman: I'm at the wrong track!
Michael Waltrip: Deja Vu all over again!

Dale Earnhardt Jr.: So I put all of Harvick's Care Bears on e-Bay and managed to get $.38 for the lot.
Jeff Gordon: Wow, you got a great price right there!

Bill Elliott: My blonde roots are showing and I'm out of hair dye!

...and the winner for the Grammy for Best New Artist is... Darrell Waltrip for his album entitled "You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me Loose Wheel". From the title track to the cover of ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All" this gem is a masterpiece from start to finish.
Darrell Waltrip: I'd like to thank my pit crew, Tide, K-Mart...uh, sorry, wrong speech, y'all. I'd just like to say "Nyah nyah!" to Benny Parsons, since his album, "Benny And The Pits" wasn't even nominated. I especially want to thank Lake Speed, on backup vocals, Phil Barkdoll on bagpipes, Ernie Irvan on harmonica, James Hylton on drums, Delma Cowart's amazing electric guitar work, and keyboard mastery of Phil Parsons.

Dick Trickle: I'd like to have a name change form, please. Yes, I'd like to be known as Richard Cranium.

Kurt Busch: It sure is dark here. I wonder why Jack Roush wanted me to come here so late at night. It's past my bedtime, and he knows it.
Jimmy Spencer: Here, bratty, bratty, bratty.
Kurt Busch: $#!+!!!!!!
Jimmy Spencer: Don't you know you can't say that on TV, boy. I'm gonna have to pound you now... Then I'll have to smooth things over with those FCC people...

Mark Martin: You know, this provolone is actually quite tasty.
Rusty Wallace: I'm partial to this Swiss, myself.
Jimmie Johnson: I don't know. This cheddar cheese seems a little off. I bet Harvick ran into it.

Kevin Harvick: I can't believe I just snagged a mint collection of Care Bears off of e-Bay for $.38! All the ones I had up until three weeks ago. It's like some weird coincidence!
Joe Nemechek: Yeah, so you got a great deal. I had to pay $3.8 million to get my freaking water bottle back!

This all goes back to last season and Harvicks comment about Johnson being lucky by winning all of those races. You've got me, but for some reason Kevin has a deep dislike for JJ. Heck, he tried to cut down JJ's tire on the green flag of the race.

And because of what may have happened last season everyone prematurely jumps to conclusions. "They dont like each other so it must have been intentional. Hang him high!" I try to gather facts before i make an opinion, and the facts overwhelmingly support a "racing incident". For once in a long time i agree with NASCAR. Feels strange saying that.

:jest: at swifty's script

Dan4HW,


We know where you stand, we will all bow before the DEI and RCR drivers. If one leaves then we can say whatever we wish.

Guess we'll see how Harvick handles things Sunday huh?

Dan4HW,

Whats that supposed to mean?

Sorry for offering my valid opinion that wasn't influenced by the drama created by the media for the sheer reason of ratings. I won't let it happen again.

Week 3 of "As The Wheel Turns"

Last time on "As The Wheel Turns" Darrell Waltrip won a Grammy Award, Jimmy Spencer finally got to have that heart to heart "talk" with Kurt Busch, Bill Elliott ran out of red hair dye, Dale Earnhardt Jr. sold Kevin Harvick's stuffed Care Bears on e-Bay, Kevin Harvick bought those same Care Bears from Junior without knowing who the seller was, Michael Waltrip and Joe Ruttman were at the wrong track (the now vacant Rockingham), and Rusty, Mark, and Jimmie finally had that cheese tasting party.

Jack Roush: I can't believe no one's seen Kurt Busch in almost a week. I need a driver, and fast!
Joe Ruttman: Remember me? I used to drive your Craftsman Truck series truck, until you replaced me with Greg Biffle and Kurt Busch.
Jack Roush: How'd you like to drive a championship caliber Winst...Nextel Cup car?
Joe Ruttman: I'd love to. But you better not make me park it after three laps like James Finch always made me do.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. *sending email to the winner of the auction*: You can send your payment of $.38 plus $28.50 for shipping and handling to:
Dale Earnhardt Jr.
c/o Dale Earnhardt Jr. Fan Club
8 Fictional Rd
Fictional City Near Kannapolis, NC 01239

Kevin Harvick *replying to Junior's email*: You're THE Dale Earnhardt Jr.? What a coincidence, I'm going to be at the track this weekend. Would you mind if we met up instead of letting the postal service rob us blind?
Junior: *replying*: Sure. Meet me at Duffy's Tavern on Fourth and Duke St.

Ray Evernham: Uh, Bill, why are you wearing your helmet? You're not racing this weekend...
Bill Elliott: Bad hair day.

Announcer: ...and next to qualify is a new driver by the name Richard Cranium. Cranium comes from the short tracks of the Midwest, but that's all the info he's provided. Let's see what he can do with an unsponsored Chevrolet stock car.

Kurt Busch: Where am I? Who am I? *Looks around* I'm surrounded by Care Bears. Maybe I'm a Care Bear! Yes, I think I am...

Jimmy Spencer: No one will ever think to look for Kurt Busch in Junior's house. Though I'm starting to wonder what Earnhardt Sr. taught Junior. I mean... Care Bears? I'd expect that from Kasey Kahne or Casey Mears, not Junior!

Michael Waltrip: Help! I'm still in Rockingham! Where'd Joe Ruttman go?

Boris Said: Joe, why didn't you just buy a new water bottle from Wal*Mart for a few bucks?
Joe Nemechek: Uh... when I think of an intelligent answer to that question, I'll let you know.

Darrell Waltrip: I wonder if anyone has ever tried turning Barry Manilow's "Mandy" into a song about NASCAR racing?

Mark Martin: Well, I best be going, guys. Good talking with you.
Jimmie Johnson: Yeah, I'd better run too.
Rusty Wallace: See you guys at the track tomorrow!
Waiter: Your bill, sir.
Rusty Wallace: $3,812?!?!? Mark, Jimmie, come back here! Drat. Hold on, I've got the money, but, uh, I was kinda saving it to pay a NASCAR fine, so it's all in nickels and pennies.

What will happen when Harvick and Junior meet? And will Kurt Busch ever remember he's a NASCAR driver? Will Joe Ruttman actually get to race more than three laps in the #97? Will Darrell Waltrip really mangle "Mandy"? Will his brother, Mikey, ever get to the right track? Will Trickle turned Cranium qualify for the race? Will Rusty ever finish counting the nickels and pennies to pay his wine and cheese tab? And what's this large brown truck doing on the track?

And now for the thrilling series finale of "As The Wheel Turns"!

...That's good enough for the pole! Ruttman's done it, he's nabbed the top spot, edging out the newcomer Richard Cranium.
Jack Roush: *Chuckling* Well, since he did such a good job in qualifying, I guess I'll let him drive five laps before parking it...

Rusty Wallace: That's $1,398.35...$1,398.40...1,398.45...

Dale Earnhardt Jr.: Uh, hi Kevin. What are you doing here?
Kevin Harvick: I'm here to pay you $.38. Now give me my CARE BEARS, $^&%!
Junior: $#!+!
*Harvick rips open the box of bears and discovers... Kurt Busch*
Kurt Busch: I'm a Care Bear! Helping people is what I do! You look like you need a hug!
Kevin Harvick: Hug him- he's really sad. His dad died a few years ago...
Junior: You didn't... $#!+! You did!!!! *Runs*
*Busch chases Junior around, trying to hug him, while Harvick plays with the stuffed animals*

Ray Evernham: Bill, what happened to your hair?
Bill Elliott: They discontinued my normal hair dye, and this was the closest I could find, okay?
Jeremy Mayfield: Hey Ray, hey, who's the chick with the pink hair? Oh, hi Bill!

Darrell Waltrip (to the tune of Barry Manilow's "Mandy"):..and everyone's wreckin', oh ma-an! Smoke's everywhere and oil is leakin'...

Tony Stewart's anger management psychologist: Yes, it's good to see you all here today. So, you think you're a Care Bear?
Kurt Busch: Yes! And you're just so huggable!

Tony Stewart's anger management psychologist: And you, you say you have an intense fear of Care Bears? When did this happen?
Junior: About three days ago...

Tony Stewart's anger management psychologist: And you, you say you love Care Bears?
Kevin Harvick: Yes. Even when all the other drivers, and all the fans hate me, at least the Care Bears love me!

Tony Stewart's anger management psychologist: And you, you say you make bad financial decisions? I'm afraid I will have to ask for payment up front, and in cash.
Joe Nemechek: *hands him a wad of fifties and hundreds*: Yeah, I spent $3.8 million to buy a water bottle off of e-Bay and when my teammate Boris asked me why, I couldn't give him a decent answer...

Tony Stewart's anger management psychologist: And you, you obviously have a gender confusion problem.
Bill Elliott: I ran out of hair dye. I am not confused. I'd like to go home now.

Tony Stewart's anger management psychologist: And you seem to think you're an international pop star?
Darrell Waltrip: Ooops, I did it again! Another Grammy!
Lake Speed, Ernie Irvan, Delma Cowart, Phil Parsons, Phil Barkdoll, and James Hylton: Oh ma-an! Oh ma-an!

Tony Stewart's anger management psychologist: And you, you say you whine too much? And anger easily? I might add I expect payment up front from you too, and not in small change...
Rusty Wallace: $#!+!
Tony Stewart's anger management psychologist: Have you considered getting a checkbook or major credit card? They say it pays to Discover, you know.

Tony Stewart's anger management psychologist: And you, you seem to think you're 25 again.
Joe Ruttman: I finally have a decent caliber NASCAR ride! You're not prying this steering wheel away from me! MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Tony Stewart's anger management psychologist: And you say you have this intense urge to drive a UPS truck for a living?
Dale Jarrett: I can't help it! People keep bugging me to drive that damn truck! SO Y'ALL WIN! I'M DRIVING THE TRUCK! Y'ALL HAPPY NOW?!?!

Tony Stewart's anger management psychologist: And you have a real problem with directions?
Michael Waltrip: Yeah, my team tells me the race is at one track when it's really at another one across the country.

Tony Stewart's anger management psychologist: And who are you?
Hut Stricklin: I'm nobody.
Tony Stewart's anger management psychologist: Obviously.

Tony Stewart's anger management psychologist: Well, I think we will be working on all these issues for years to come. I expect to see you here again tomorrow, same time, same place.
*They all leave*
Tony Stewart: Thanks, doc. I owe you one.
Tony Stewart's anger management psychologist: You just go out there and win the championship. Leave these guys to me. In a few weeks they'll all think they're Dick Trickle...

And this concludes "As The Wheel Turns". If you'd like to purchase the episode you've just seen, please go to the Fox Motorsports homepage...

Swifty, I bow down to you!!! That was freakin hillarious!!! I was actually laughing out loud! It was more entertaining then the whole season of NASCAR can ever hope to be! I hope as the season continues and more "issues" crop up maybe there will be a sequel?

But you did forget the ups & downs of Kerry Earnhardt, please dont ignore my favorite he deserves some picking on too!

I agree. That was hillarious.:lol: I too was laughing out loud. Nice one
swifty.:dude:

I think all of the above can be arranged. Remember, I'm only watching the races Bill's in, so I'm counting on everyone in this forum to keep up to speed on what's going on in the world of NASCAR.

The humorous part is I didn't even watch the Duel 150s where this wreck took place- I read the info here and checked NASCAR.com for a video of the crash and the post crash interviews. And I went from there...
