стюарт и буш получили условку

наскар объявил испытательный срок тони стюарту и курту бушу за практический инцидент в пятницу в дайтоне.

оба некогда чемпиона кубка оказались втянуты в инцидент на последних минутах практики перед "бадвайзер шутаут", где буш пару раз ударил по машине стюарта за то, что тот до этого пару раз ударил по машине буша.

после этого стюарт пытался заблокировать буша по пути с пит-роуд к гаражам. в результате обоих наскар вызвал на "поговорить".

"окей, несчастный случай был гоночным инцидентом", сказал спортивный вице-президент наскар робин пембертон. "ну а после они оба повели себя совершенно не хорошо, мы на них одинаковые штрафы накладываем".

официальные лица почему-то не рассказывают что произошло на этом "поговорить", мотивируя это фразой о том, что "встреча была за закрытыми дверями, почему бы и результатам ее за ними не остаться".

No black driver doesn't mean progress isn't made (February 04, 2008)
http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/opin...ess/index.html
"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." -- Martin Luther King Jr.

Photo-finish jump started Great American tradition (February 04, 2008)
http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/head...nts/index.html
Since the field of 59 cars took the green flag for the first Daytona 500 in 1959, the prestige and power of starring on stock-car racing's biggest stage has remained the same.

31 drivers, from Petty to Harvick, have won the 500 (February 04, 2008)
LEE PETTY (1959)

Memories of a special 500 in '79 (February 04, 2008)
http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/head...979/index.html
It's considered to be the most pivotal race in NASCAR history, and the events that took place on Feb. 18, 1979 still resonate through the sport today.

Predicting the Cup champ? Gordon will take the fifth (February 07, 2008)
http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/head...ons/index.html
NASCAR seems to change with every blink of the eye, but its 2008 Chase will remain remarkably unchanged -- except, of course, for its name (it's now the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup).

For JGR's engine builder, it's been really early to rise (February 07, 2008)
http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/head...bbs/index.html
It may have seemed difficult to get in touch with head engine builder Mark Cronquist of Joe Gibbs Racing during the recent offseason, but that was only if you didn't know what time to attempt contacting him.

Yarborough wouldn't mind sharing mark with Johnson (February 08, 2008)
http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/head...les/index.html
He was old enough to begin displaying the talent that would one day make him a champion in NASCAR's top division, but still young enough to be gulled by the power of advertising. Jimmie Johnson was just a kid when he saw his first Hardee's, somewhere on a trip cross-country to race dirt bikes. The tyke burst excitedly into the fast-food restaurant, expecting to see his idol Cale Yarborough tinkering with the No. 28 Hardee's Chevrolet he drove each weekend on television.

This year's Daytona 500 looks like an Indy 500 grid (February 09, 2008)
http://www.nascar.com/2008/news/opin...eel/index.html
At first glance, the upcoming Daytona 500 is a tad reminiscent of an Indianapolis 500 grid.

LVMS race fans pinning hopes on a Junior title run (February 09, 2008)

What would a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series championship by Dale Earnhardt Jr. mean to race fans?

CALIFORNIA - Week 2 of 36 - By: Mark Aumann

Who's UpBiggest Gain this week: Ryan Newman: 0 to 4th
New This Week: Ryan Newman + Reed Sorenson + Kasey Kahne + Elliott Sadler

Who's DownBiggest Drop this week: Clint Bowyer: 8th to 15th
Dropped Out : Carl Edwards + Denny Hamlin + Martin Truex Jr. + Casey Mears

Rank 1 PREVIOUS : 5 CHANGE : +4 Kurt Busch
Quote of the week: "I'm not bitter at all for finishing second." Especially when that's one spot better than the guy who punched Kurt in the nose earlier in the month.

Rank 2 PREVIOUS : 4 CHANGE : +2 Tony Stewart
The three most dangerous jobs in sports: 1. Bullfighting - 2. Downhill skiing -
3. Interviewing Tony Stewart after the Daytona 500

Rank 3 PREVIOUS : 6 CHANGE : +3 Kyle Busch
What if he hadn't overshot the pits on that last caution?
What if he had a better run on that final restart?
What if he had tied his brother's shoelaces together before the race?

Rank 4 PREVIOUS : NR Ryan Newman
Ryan's win in the 500 wasn't even the biggest sports story in West Lafayette, where the Boilermakers were on an 11-game winning streak and getting set to play arch-rival IU.

Rank 5 PREVIOUS : 7 CHANGE : +2 Kevin Harvick
Kevin was going along just fine until a black CAT crossed his path.

Rank 6 PREVIOUS : 1 CHANGE : -5 Jimmie Johnson
Anti-Hendrick fans, don't start celebrating prematurely. Jimmie finished 39th at Daytona last season, and promptly went out and won three of the next five races.

Rank 7 PREVIOUS : 3 CHANGE : -4 Matt Kenseth
That'll learn ya: Matt got an unexpected lesson in Raganomics on President's Day weekend.

Rank 8 PREVIOUS : 2 CHANGE : -6 Jeff Gordon
That's the first time Jeff watched the finish from the motorhome since that wild wreck at Lowe's back last May.

Rank 9 PREVIOUS : 10 CHANGE : +1 Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Junior's missed opportunity to get four fresh tires there at the end brought to mind a Toby Keith song: "Little Less Talk and a Lot More Action."

Rank 10 PREVIOUS : 11 CHANGE : +1 Greg Biffle
Greg's 10th-place finish can be summed up in four words: Fastest Ford, few friends.

Rank 11 PREVIOUS : 14 CHANGE : +3 Jeff Burton
Was there a sadder moment than realizing that Jeff was a sitting duck on that restart there near the end?

Rank 12 PREVIOUS : NR Reed Sorenson
Reed's top-five finish was the best for a Georgia-born driver in the 500 since Bill Elliott ran fifth in the 2001 race.

Rank 13 PREVIOUS : NR Kasey Kahne
A change will do you good: Kasey spent all but seven laps in the top 15 on Sunday, which looked a lot more like his 2006 season than last year's disappointment.

Rank 14 PREVIOUS : NR Elliott Sadler
Second time around: Elliott finished sixth in the 500 last year, too, and then posted only more top-10 finish all season.

Rank 15 PREVIOUS : 8 CHANGE : -7 Clint Bowyer
We'll have to see at Fontana if Clint believes in the adage: "Juan good turn deserves another."
