that win may just earn paul menard a spot in the chase. not a menard fan, but he's been running well enough this year to be in the top 20 - props

I will never complain about a first time winner. Awesome to see Menard win. He's been making strides the past years and proving himself worthy of the position he's in.

Alot of our favorite racers did not exactly come from nothing to go racing. Racing is an exspensive sport.

exactly. I used to race parts, won my fair share, parents divorced, no money, now work for a bank... I'd take daddys millions on a heart beat thanks.

I think the logical strategy is that any rich people who have the desire to go racing should take a vow of racing poverty through their early careers until a few angry people on the internet deem they're entitled to top notch equipment.

Check out Paul Menards resume before jumping into the deep end of the NASCAR pool anyways,
The 2002 season saw Menard compete in ReMax Challenge (two poles, seventh in points), SCCA Trans-Am (one front-row start, four top-10 finishes), Grand Am Cup (victories at Fontana and Phoenix) and the NASCAR Southwest Tour. He capped his season in the latter series with a last-lap pass of veteran Ken Schrader for the Phoenix victory.

In 2003 he joined up with Andy Petree and until he went to RCR he was pretty much in so so equipment.

With that win, Clint Bowyer and David Ragan are on the outside looking in for the Chase. If Keselowski can get 16 more points to 20th and a second win (and it seems possible with the way they're running and the way they roll the dice), things might get crazy.

To be honest that statement is directed at a lot of people. The topic was already pretty fresh in my mind because of all the complaining about the Dillon brothers as well.

Should these few angry people have no racing experience whatsoever except for what they know in NR2003?

Sorry Tony, only Jimmie Johnson and Denny Hamlin get to win based on adversity/emotional factors nowadays.

I wonder how likely it will be to have our 5th first-time winner this year. I suppose Ambrose has a chance at Watkins Glen?

Let's all take a deep breath... Jimmie, Kyle or Carl didn't win

That'd be real cool if Marcos won at Watkins Glen. Or maybe even Pocono.

I'm waiting for Ambrose to sneak out a win on an oval, watch.

Menard's now eligible for that Sprint bonus money provided he wins at Atlanta.

Fair enough, It's just hat I was the only one bitching about Menard, so you can see my confusion. Sorry for the snippiness then.

Ambrose has finished in the top three every year for the last three seasons at Watkins Glen. I'd be willing to put money on him this year.

Rubbins Racin, the semi-official home of the Paul Menard Empire is going crazy.
