Danica Patrick will drive for Turner Motorsports in the Nationwide series this season (10 races)

**Optional** · 01-02-13, 01:27 PM

Wonder how that connection came about. And if it might mean Turner's Cup team will be linked with SHR.

Should be a money maker for them however she goes at least.

The new NASCAR.com website launches Thursday hopefully it's better than the last one

Can we please get back the original website without all of the bells and whistles??? Circa 2004

**shaunovery** · 01-03-13, 06:58 AM

Don't know why they couldn't have a live timing section on the website something similar to the formula 1 live timing screen

Tell em what you think here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/NASCAR_DIGITAL

Looks like amateur hour website development, or a high school class joint project with too many helpers.

Plus it's so slow it hardly works at all for me. Videos won load blah blah.

Whatever they do it will have to be better than the tripe Turner has been producing for us.

I don't know why they don't supply all the raw loop data for every session and race, so third parties could create all sorts of apps and websites using it. Free of charge to NASCAR....

I just noticed on the Jayski silly season page that EGR are switching from their own ECR engines to Hendrick engines.

**5mike5** · 01-07-13, 04:36 PM

i thought that had been a planned move announced late last season?

**Optional** · 01-07-13, 04:37 PM

I hadn't heard. or forgotten.

What was their reasoning?

honestly i cant remember, but for some reason when i read ur post i though i remembered that being mentioned during a race toward end of the season....dont see any way it would be spur of the moment change/decision for that important of a change...but just dont know 4 sure

**Optional** · 01-07-13, 05:12 PM

Wonders if it means RCR are running 2nd rate engines...

**shaunovery** · 01-08-13, 08:23 AM

Start those engines folks

2 days till testing starts at Daytona and only 4 weeks till f1 testing

**5mike5** · 01-08-13, 08:33 AM

cant get excitied about testing, but i can be about only 6 weeks til the sprint shoot-out practices start up!

**Optional** · 01-08-13, 10:27 AM

It will be good to see and hear the new cars on track. Need a taste of fuel and rubber.

**Vegas39** · 01-08-13, 03:22 PM

First time I looked at futures was today on 5dimes. They have a feeling I guess that a bad year for Harvick since he is leaving RCR at end of years as he is +2600
