QUALIFING UPDATE

Outside pole qualifier Jerry Neadue in the #25 Budwieser Chevy has been DQ'd because
in the post qualifing inspection his car was
to low. Lower is better--lower is faster but
the chevy was still slower than the DODGE
even when they (accidently?) cheat.
4 out of the top 10 were DODGES.

Whoops! A Dodge on the pole and three more in the top ten the first time out. ? Gotta be something illegal or maybe the stop watch was rigged? How about a rules change to give the Chevy and Ford A better shake? Can we get a recount, this is Florida isn't it? I can't wait! bg

Great!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just hope the mechanics and engeneers have put some longlevity into the engine!!?? I am sure if the Dodge is too sucessful you will see the same results as the 426 HEMI. If you cant beat them BAN them. I realise NASCAR is a much differnt orginizsation than it was in the sixties. But I would assume that if the Dodge guys run too good there will be adjustments so the other cars will be competitive. I wouldnt go so far as to say they are like WWF big time rasslin but sometimes the racing is two controlled?? #ad
Just my opinion

I guess you all haven't noticed that the front row is all Dodge, Bill Elliot and Stacey Compton. I imagine Phord And Chivvy are throwing a Sh*t fit to nascar as we speak lol. I don't think the reliability is much of an issue due the fact they have a strong truck series motor.

What i find funny is a few weeks ago in practice the Dodges were off the pace. And kinda far from it. Either they fixed the problem or they were bluffing #ad
This is sweet. . and to think... 500 Everham had nothing.

With the disqualification of Jerry Nadeau, the 2001 Daytona 500 will have an all DODGE front row. Bill Elliot on the inside and Stacy Compton on the outside. GO DODGE!!!!

Good Post Robert. I wrote mine before I read yours. We are both thinking the same way. #ad


Not a big NASCAR fan myself, but happy to see Mopar back competing.

In the 60's MOPAR dominated the high banked oval tracks. Their 426 HEMI® Powered Dodge's & Plymouth's were Unbeatable . They would finish 1,2,3,4 every weekend.

With the Dodge Boys kicking BUTT in qualifying with just winter tuning & testing says alot. The cars are dialed in already. This is unbelievable. Dodge might be on the same track is in the '60's & '70's.

I must ask myself, How long will it last until the constant whining by both Ford and General Motors team looking for breaks for their make of car will drive Mopar out of NASCAR once Again?.

Mopar was too successful in NASCAR once for its own good. It made a mockery of the competition. NASCAR had to re-write the rule book, to make it a level playing field for Ford & GM. It started when NASCAR told MOPAR it had to run a Carburetor restrictor plate on its HEMI® powered cars. Ford & GM was exempt from this rule. Finally and ultimately the 426 HEMI® was banned completely from competing in NASCAR.

To this day, the 426 Chrysler HEMI® is the most successful racing engine EVER built. To list the races it has won would be an impossible task. #ad



Lets see how long NASCAR lets Mopar race without adding some sort of restriction on their cars, and ONLY their cars. #ad

Evernham is no dummy. Sandbagging it in early practice sessions is time honored tradition, never show all your cards. If one car dominates too much, Nascar will alter the spoilers to bring eveyone back together in one pack. One thing Nascar is considering is going to a single body shape and each mfg. would put their own name on it.
This way all cars would be equal and the winners would be the ones with the best drivers and who makes the most horsepower.

Also, yesterday's qualifying is only for the top two spots. The rest of the positions( 3 thru 43) are determined by two qualifying races that are run next Thursday. So it will be an all Dodge front row but the others will have to work for it.

GO DODGE

Hey guys, I think a big part of the equation is Evernham. Anybody remember a few years ago everybody thought a driver named Jeff Gordon was unbeatable, but when his crew chief left (Evernham), he didn't do so well?

The Number @ qualifier Stacey Compton is not on the Everham Team.
But the man does know what he is doing #ad
