Hot Topic According to SOZ |
Montoya mixes it up again It's been a long time since I've seen Mark Martin upset but after the race in Chicago he seemed pretty hacked at Juan Pablo Montoya. "He didn't like the way I passed him there on the last lap," said Martin. Martin continued to tell the media that Montoya called his driving "borderline stupid driving" and he "suggested I take some smart driving lessons from him," according to Martin. Both drivers, who were running in the Chase last season are struggling to make this season's Top 12. I do think this is a rivary to watch because Martin continues to finish in front of Montoya and it must be getting on JPM's nerves. I like it. |

SOZ's Mom: We all miss you. Shirleen Harper June 29, 1943 - August 27, 2009 |
Sprint Cup Everyone wants to win at the Brickyard so look for the big guns to show up in full force. Tony Stewart said this week that if he can't win this race as a driver he wants to win as an owner - so look for Ryan Newman to have a good race. Also, don't count out Juan Pablo Montoya who was the strongest car last season before getting caught speeding on pit road. Nationwide No, these guys are not allowed to race on the big track at Indy - but the small track down the street is all theirs. This could be the most exciting race of the year but since NASCAR put both Keselowski and Edwards on probation - don't look for any fireworks between these two teams. Camping World Trucks ORP on Friday night. This will be a good one and the question is will GOAT (Ricky Carmichael) pay back Mike Skinner for last week? ARCA Off week before Pocono. |
Fuzzy Earnhardt Memories, Justifications and NASCAR’s Wish Came True by Dennis Michelsen (July 20, 2010 RaceTalkRadio.com) Listening to the babble online from Carl Edwards’ fans and apologists defending their guy this week has been laughable. Maybe I am indeed missing that “Fan Gene” because I don’t understand such fanaticism. Saturday night at Gateway Raceway Carl Edwards was wrong…end of statement. The excuses thrown out there have included the age old “Keselowski had it coming” and the fan favorite “Earnhardt did it too.” The fans justifications are bad enough but NASCAR’s wish has come true. |

Poor, poor Ford: It's been a down year for Ford Racing. After 19 events in the Cup Series this season they've not found Victory Lane. They sit third in the manufacturer standings only three points in front of Dodge and 50 points behind Chevrolet, who leads the standings. Carl Edwards almost pulled out a win last weekend, but for the most part Ford teams, including Roush Fenway and Richard Petty Motorsports are struggling to win races. Do you TAKE IT or LEAVE IT that Ford will NOT win a race this season in the Cup Series? |
