Crowd is smallest at Talladega for Sprint Cup race (excluding postponements) since #nascar began including estimates in box scores in 2003.

Don't commit to going with someone next time then.

So he was forced to bail? That's messed up actually.

Apparently he admitted he was told to leave the 24 and draft with a Ford.

Hard to blame him for being upset. Working with a Chevy (Gordon) throughout Speedweeks was a huge help for Bayne and we all know what that experience did for him.

Ford's failure to accept the absurdity of their own stinginess did their teams no favors today. All three non-Ford manufacturers were represented in the top five. Edwards was the best Ford in 11th and there were only two others in the top 15.

Man, that's suck for Bayne-Robby and Jeff Gordon. it's really shit.

However, Very good race (them if it's not so crazy than i expected), the tandem are not so disgusting, but i prefer a lot better good old pack racing. Great victory by Clint. I'm sure that Childress and Burton will secretly mad.

Blaney 3rd \o/

And i really think Talladega choose our new contenders for championship this year. and Gordon, Johnson, and the Busch brothers are not in this.

All of this proves that DEGA-FEVER are not died. :flag:

This.. I'd really like to see what all went down there at the end.

Bayne's not guaranteed a drive for next season, grow some balls help Gordon, tell Ford to sod off and drive for Chevy instead.

A gas can explosion from a spark ignited the hauler fire

Just another day in Talladega.

Didn't think they were running aside from the occasional Austin Dillon start?

Richard Childress mentioned they had a possible fulltime sponsorship deal, it was just Bowyer's pay demands. He also mentioned having offers to drive the car and he'd only do it if it was the right person. Had Bayne had the balls to ignore Ford, I'd say he'd have been the right person.

But he didn't, so he's not the right person.

I never knew of them having offers for sponsorship besides for the 5 hour energy deal that fell through. I really don't follow as much as I use too. I just think it would of been way to big of a risk for for Trevor to just say fuck it and hope someone gives him a ride next year. Hell, if it was me, I would of done what they wanted me to do. Hard to get good rides without money behind you in the economic climate, even if you did win the 2011 Daytona 500. Hell maybe he should of just did it and took his chances. You never know if they (Wood Brothers/Roush) want to take a chance with Ricky Stenhouse (or David Ragen even though he is rumored to the #71 if the 6 can't get sponsorship) in the 21 next year since he has done decent in the Nationwide series. Way to big a risk to me.

But we will never know.

GO COLTS.....
