at least it is over,

well i really didnt expect ryan having engine problems, if there is a plus, at least he didnt crash, maybe someone knows better than, but did ryan have any dnf's last year?

I believe he had a dnf at Charlotte last year


Just double checked Racing Reference and it says no dnf's in 2011

thanks rochelle, with old age creeping in on me i tend to forget many things

My pleasure MJ, the Racing Reference website has pretty much everything race related.

Now that is what I call a polite exchange.

I hated it for Ryan. Is it true Gibson stayed up on the box thinking Ryan was still in the race and he was trying to make changes to Jamie's car? Dumb idea having the same paint scheme

There is one constant being a Ryan Newman fan is that his race team is always inconsistent. I guess I had better get use to that!

I so wish he would just have ONE darn race year with some rewarded effort and good racing luck of consistency......just one like 2003! (11 poles 8 wins) I guess those kind of years are gone forever! I remember my best friend who was a Jimmie Johnson fan coming over to watch the races and his disgust in seeing "Newman Fever" at it's highest peak in 2003. Little did either of us know just how amazingly successful Jimmie Johnson would later on become! Now, since 2007 my best friend has enjoyed unlimited joy in giving me #### thanks to all of Jimmie Johnson's success. He could of chosen a driver like Robby Gordon but as my luck would have it.........

The way Ryan feels about Dega,he was probly happy he didn't have to deal with being wrecked by the dinger!
