I was watching the highlight show today well sort of. But I couldn't watch it all. The Jist was that Dewalt is pulling out of NASCAR. Does any one know why? I never caught the end.

Your rating: None

bad economy probably, nobody buys tools because nobody does construction work because nobody can afford it because theres no buisness, so Dewalt is making less money than in say 2004 when the housing market was awesome

I suppose that would be a good reason. Yet junkfood sales have dropped hugely because of the sudden need of nutrician yet M&M's have threaten to pull. As well as Chevy being still in the big 3. All just speculation at this point.

haha, the road course ones are always fun to watch, mostly cuz I like Tony Stewart and he rocks it, haha, but yeah, turning both ways is a nice change of pace.

Yeah, Kyle Busch has spent alot of time eating the wall this year, not that I'm complainin.  As far as Dewalt, I would imagine Mr. Mini's guess would be correct.  I'm not sure beyond that though.

Oh, by the way...  Go Clint Bowyer!

haha, it was just a guess, my step dad builds houses for a living, and I know we're poor as !@#$ right now so I made that conclusion. and Bowyer is doing alright, but I think it was a mistake putting him in the new 4th team, hes a good driver and the team hasent had time to develop. if they kept him in the 07 he would probably have a race or 2 so far

If they have a red flag, just run on out to his car and ask him. I'm sure the guy that tried that a couple of years ago didn't get into to much trouble. I'd like to see Fellows win also. I'm predicting buy Sunday night I will be getting sick of hereing the name Boris Said. Sucks in a Stock Car, but the TV people can't get enough of him.

I agree, he is terrible in a stock car, they say so much about him because he rocks in other road course cars though which gets irritating

Boris is also one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.  I got to meet him a few years ago at the York Fairgrounds duing their NASCAR invasion thing they put on.  100s of fans lined up, and he took the time to chat, and joke with everyone.

I agree that hes an awesome guy, he just needs to figure the stock car thing out, haha, hes got everything down and hes a great guy. and thats awesome that you got to meet him, Id like to meet a big name racer some day. perhaps in the future bullrun......

Boris Said is just the tip of the iceberg bud.  I spent alot of time around NASCAR up until about 16 years old.  Met Junior Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Richard Petty, Kyle Petty, Dale Sr, and on, and on.
