The wording of the four-car team rule prevents this. If a driver races for one team and has an ownership stake in another, both teams count towards the limit.

Sell his stake for a day then, easy.

Guthrie's average finish is probably higher than Danica's at this point, she was a solid top 20 IIRC

Guthrie-33 races, 5 top 10s, 19.3 average finish
Danica-119 races, 6 top 10s, 24.8 average finish

"This is not a corporate position", followed by "However". At least try to be subtle about telling people who they should vote for lest they be fired?

It's even better.

Kyle was saving, and Jones was catching him. As soon as Jones got to him, he ran out. Kyle takes the white immediately after, and promptly blows a tire. As he's limping it along, Suarez catches him, passes him, and runs out. Kyle takes the lead back. Coming off four, Dillon, who was 4th and like 10 seconds back in the same place the prior lap, tries on the high side as Kyle drifts up. They get together a bit, Dillon squeezes through and wins.

It was a top 20 all time finish IMO

e- what race was it a few years ago where everyone ran out? It was that times ten

e2- here's the vid, Jones has run out prior to this

Pocono last year, just start at like 10 to go https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKv4hwM7BDo

Also, how the hell did that tire not come apart?

Man people bitched about Mark Martin doing it all the time.

Martin and the other Cup level drivers only ever raced half the schedule at least individually. Busch usually runs 3/4 of the NXS schedule and had been running the same amount for trucks until a few years ago. Now it's just half for trucks.

It's not really anything much special compared to most races. If you want a race with some "excitement" and a bit of life around festivities, Dega or Daytona are where to go.

Start the clock until we get either a NASCAR DRS, or they go full NASCAR and it's a DES (enlargement) which activates for the person in the lead when gap to 2nd is under 2 seconds.
