| Re: Fantasy NASCAR - Week #5 NASCAR can do it to control cheating but the teams in no way can use computers to track data or use computers in any way (in the car) to help gain an advantage (at the track). About the only thing the teams can do is put one of those little arrows on the RPM gauge that shows the highest RPM reached during the day. Or get the Trackpass on NASCAR.com so they can see the telemetry.

| Re: Fantasy NASCAR - Week #5 It's not looking good for toyota.... BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) - Dale Jarrett blasted 2003 champion Matt Kenseth after contact between the two ended Jarrett's day just 45 laps into the race Sunday at Bristol Motor Speedway. Jarrett, the 1999 series champion, was bumped from behind by Kenseth and the touch spent him spinning into the wall. The rear wing of his Car of Tomorrow shattered, forcing Jarrett out of the race and to a 42nd-place finish. "This is not the first time that (Kenseth's) done something like this," Jarrett said. "Everybody has this great vision that Matt Kenseth is this nice guy on the race track. He is a nice guy away from the track. But he's a rough driver on the race track when he doesn't have to be. "We'll have a discussion." The accident put Michael Waltrip Racing into an even deeper hole as Jarrett dropped to 39th in owner points. That's a precarious position to be in next week, when NASCAR begins guaranteeing a spot in the field to the top 35 current drivers. Jarrett has just two past champion provisionals left to use this season, and once those are gone, he'll have to qualify on speed each week until he cracks the top 35. It's the same boat all the Toyota teams are in, with all seven Camrys outside the top 35 in points. Dave Blaney is 37th, Brian Vickers is 38th, David Reutimann is 45th, Jeremy Mayfield is 47th, A.J. Allmendinger is 49th and Waltrip is 50th.

| Re: Fantasy NASCAR - Week #5 Darrell Waltrip / AllWaltrip.com Folks, that's a question I've been asking myself ever since Sunday's race in Bristol. What if the Car of Tomorrow had never come? Would anything have changed? Would Kyle Busch have still won the race? Well, he probably would have. Would Jeff Burton have run second? He probably would have. Would Tony Stewart's fuel pump cable have broken? There's no doubt it would have. Would the finish have been any different? I don't really think so. Kyle Busch has been knocking on the door every week — ever since the season started — so seeing him win the race was no big surprise. Crashes? Hey, it's Bristol. Pit strategy? Track position? They win races week in and week out. Busch stayed on the racetrack, held his track position and won the race. Was that any different from past races? Not that I'm aware of and certainly not as far as Bristol or most races go. Track position is the key. What would have changed if the Car of Tomorrow had never come? I don't really think anything would have changed. I think the results would have been the same whether teams were driving the Car of Tomorrow, the Car of Yesterday or the Car of the Future. I just don't see that the car itself had any effect on the outcome of the race. I drove the Car of Tomorrow at Bristol, and what I loved about the car is what I've hated about the current car. I love the Car of Yesterday, and that's what the COT is. It's heavy. It's high. It has a whole different feel when you drive it, but for an old guy like me, it drives like the cars that I was used to racing. I've had a really tough time adapting to the current car, not that I've raced the current car much in the configuration that they're racing today. In 2000 — the last year I drove in Cup — we were slowly heading toward really soft front springs, great big front swaybars and stiff rear springs. That was just beginning to be the fad. We hadn't done it to the extent they're doing it now. I never liked to feel the car sitting down on those solid front springs with the back end stuck up in the air. It just didn't appeal to me. I like a car that I can work on and make it do what I want. This Car of Tomorrow allows teams to work on their cars. Teams say, "Well, we're in a box. There are things that we can't do." Minimum height off the ground and maximum height of the car will locks you into a pretty tight box. But it's just springs, shocks, swaybars and setup. You can forget coilbinding, aero and all of the things that these teams have learned to take advantage of. Quite honestly, those are things that I've always hated. It makes no sense to spend $1,000 on a coil spring that you run one time and throw away because it's no good anymore. NASCAR talks about how the COT will save teams money. The car itself won't, but the techniques for setting them up and the parts and pieces that you're going to use over the long haul will make the car simpler and more economical. Teams will spend some money on development, but they're not going to have to spend all of that time in the wind tunnel, trying to figure out if a car is good or bad aerodynamically. They're all bad aerodynamically. That's what you want. I hate that Kyle Busch got out of his car and didn't enjoy his winning moment at Bristol because it's a huge accomplishment. He's a young guy, and like so many young, energetic drivers are guilty of doing, he'll probably realize that he said some things that he shouldn't have. But I like raw emotion. You find out what a guy is thinking when he gets out of his car. The Cup teams are going to Martinsville this weekend with the Car of Tomorrow. The more they run the car, the better they will like it, and the better it will get. I'm still concerned about the splitter cutting down tires, particularly at Martinsville where racing is even closer than it is at Bristol. NASCAR has some work to do with the car, but for the first race ever with a car that just came off of a clean sheet of paper, I've got to give NASCAR an attaboy. I like some of the things that they've done. There are some things that I would change, and that's always going to be the case. They'll listen to what people have to say, and they'll make some adjustments as we go forward. We've got at least 15 more races to run before we actually put it out there all the time. In a very short period of time — maybe by this coming Sunday — people will start to warm up and really like the car. That's what NASCAR was hoping for. I'm so impressed with the NASCAR staff, including director of cost research, Brett Bodine, vice president of competition Robin Pemberton, technical director Steve Peterson and former competition director Gary Nelson. From where that car was a couple of years ago in early testing, they have come a long way, baby. They've got a little ways to go, but they have come a long way. I tip my hat to Sunday's race. Some people have said it wasn't the most exciting race. The last couple of years, Bristol hasn't been very exciting because of the surface. You'd better hold onto your helmets when you go back to Bristol in August. Racing is fun when it comes down to driver, pit strategy and setup, not who has the biggest bag of tricks. Racing shouldn't come down to trick right rear springs, trick right rear shocks or something that makes the car aerodynamically superior over everybody else. Most drivers were very unhappy with the way the cars drove at Bristol, but that's why they're going to repave that rough track. It's like running across a cornfield. The cars bounce and jump around. The track has been patched, and it's got tight and loose spots. You can't get any forward bite and grip. In this case, it's not the car's fault as much as it's the track's fault. When they redo the track, trust me, they're not going to mess up Bristol. They know better than that. They're just going to make it smoother, and we're hopefully going to have two grooves that we haven't had at Bristol in years. Drivers need to be able to run high and low, which will create better racing. At the end of Sunday's race, Jeff Burton had fresh tires. He could jump to the outside and make a pass. Track officials want to make Bristol that way for the entire race, not just when you've got good tires. Resurfacing the track will help everything. Oh, by the way Congratulations to Jeff Green and the No. 66 team for providing the perfect example of how good pit strategy and getting good track position at the end of the race can give you a great finish. When we looked at the rundown after that green-white-checkered finish, and Green was sitting in sixth, I said, "Holy cow! How could that have happened?" Jeff, crew chief Harold Holly and the Haas team took advantage of the last little go-around and got a great finish.

| Re: Fantasy NASCAR - Week #5 The Pentagon announced TODAY the formation of a new 500-man elite fighting unit called the United States Redneck Special Forces (USRSF). These Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, West Virginia, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas boys will be dropped off into Iraq and have been given only the following facts about terrorists: 1. The season opened today. 2. There is no limit. 3. They taste just like chicken. 4. They don’t like beer, pickups, country music or Jesus. 5. They are directly responsible for the death of Dale Earnhardt. The Pentagon expects the problem in Iraq to be over by Friday.
