Unofficial “OFFICIAL” Race Thread Author Award

2009-11-20T19:03:32-05:00

... goes to seattlesix - my neighbour across the border and down the road a bit.

25 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series races
35 NASCAR NationWide Series races
36 NASCAR SprintCup Series races

96 race threads in total - each and every one of them posted on Thursday. Posted accurately, highly organized and updated continuously right up until race time and all of them full of the author's wit and charm.

I never went anywhere else to look for stuff all season and had a great time when I was able to participate during races. When I couldn't, I went back and looked through them as soon as I could. What a great job! Thank you so much for all the effort you put into the season. I hope you do it all again next year.

Jimmy Johnson. The greatest ever?

Um No. I love to watch writers get caught up in the moment and get carried away. JJ is good, no doubt. The greatest? Funny stuff.

Juan Pablo Montoya

Finished 14th and didn't even have to spin Clint Bowyer to get there.

Needed a thread not about Dale Jr or rain so one about JPM seemed like it would fit the bill. Come to think of it wasn't Juan nicknamed Fire when he was at McLaren? So we've got Fire and Rain there...

Here's some James Taylor to calm everyone down.

RWR to Teyoter

What they couldn't make Chevy pieces fast enough to replace the damaged ones and now they want to clear Teyoter out of pieces.

Better watch his back……

Keselowski isn't making any friends, especially after the little Nationwide race incident with Denny, which he isn't thrilled about.....

Love how Denny says "I'll take care of it".
Is Keselowski being too agressive? I think he may be trying a bit too hard to pay back some of these guys. These rivalries are good for Nascar, though. Wonder if this will carry over to the Cup side?

Brian France fights to keep case quiet

2009-11-14T10:48:08-05:00

"NASCAR chairman Brian France is trying to keep his legal troubles secret – and Mecklenburg courts have so far granted him an extraordinary level of privacy.

France filed a civil complaint against his ex-wife. Lawyers persuaded Mecklenburg Judge Todd Owens to seal the court file from public inspection, an unusual move in a court system that typically allows widespread access to courtrooms and documents.

On Friday, France's attorneys petitioned a Mecklenburg judge to bar the public from the courtroom as arguments in the case unfold. It's unclear exactly what the dispute involves, but the matter is being heard in family court and apparently involves domestic issues."

This is how John Edwards got so much traction a few years ago with his "two Americas" speech (a bit hypocritical on his part, since he was part of that "other" America, but that's another forum ). Good luck to anyone else trying to get all the details of a civil suit like this sealed.

"It's not unusual for judges to seal some documents, such as sensitive records involving mental health and financial holdings. But court experts say it's extremely rare that an entire file, including a judge's order sealing it, is kept from the public."
