tony stewart has a minimal fracture in his right  scapula. will he miss any races?

I don't know much about racing but I know a little about broken bones.  Fracturing your scapula is hard to do and requires a very forceful collision.  Unfortunately much shoulder movement will be painful.  It is a stable fracture.  Driving a race car requires a lot of shoulder movement.  They may be able to brace him, but if I were a betting man I would think he will be out for six to eight weeks.

Dale Jr. is a true southern gentleman.  Do you see getting mouthy with the press or being nasty toward anyone?  He was brought up with a great respect for racing and for those who participate in the same.  I think after his father's death and his corvette fire incident he is a more spiritual person and that is helping him focus better this year.  Also, you don't see him with fancy models hanging off his arm do you?  He's a honest, hard working, fun guy.

i agree with you.  He needs to control his temper.  The tony fans say he has matured nicely.  That is so funny.  He has been wrecking rookies and drivers all year because he thinks they done something wrong.  Tony is an expert and he never does anything wrong.  Right.

They issued an indefinite suspension and a $10K fine to the crewmember. Evernham says they will not appeal. Full story below. As to what they SHOULD do...tricky here. The whole deal started on the track with a little "tit-for-tat" payback between Riggs and Harvick, which ended when Harvick pulled up tight on Riggs bumper and pulled the air off him making him loose and causing him to crash hard into the wall. The real issue is that the on-track disagreement spilled over into a full scale ruckus in the pits and a NASCAR official and Harvick's wife got caught up in it. NASCAR has a long history of post-race incidents but they normally are driver to driver or involve just the crew. With an official and a wife being involved the fines/punishment have to be more severe. We wouldn't tolerate this on a football field or a basketball court, if NASCAR is serious about being a premiere sporting event, they can't tolerate it at the track either.

Numbers don't like.  Jimmie Johnson is stellar at Lowe's Motor Speedway.  He has won the last 4 points races there, and added the All-Star race to his resume Saturday night.  This is his track, and he is the man to beat.  If he doesn't get caught up in a wreck or have some mechanical issue with his car, he will win the race.  I do think that the new surface will cause problems for many of the teams, as was evident in the Nextel Open and the All-star race Saturday night.  I don't think their will be as many cautions as there was last year.  Goodyear has brought a tire to the race that is harder than anything the drivers have ever run before, and it seems to have alleviated most of the problems the cars might have on the new surface.  And on a side note, to the person who tells us to turn to Superbike or F1 for "real" racing, please don't make unfounded unintelligent comments on something you know nothing about.  Last time I checked, F1 was dominated by only those teams willing to put hundreds of millions of dollars into their cars and programs.  You can have a guy with all the talent in the world who simply can't compete b/c he isn't backed sufficiently in regard to his finances.  There is so much more competitiveness involved in NASCAR when you factor in the finite mechanical aspects of the car.  And if F1 is so superior to NASCAR, then why can't a road course specialist (F1 or Indy car drivers) outrun NASCAR regulars on road courses such as Infineon or Watkins Glenn and win those races as a handful of such drivers attempt to do on both tracks each time NASCAR runs there?

A definate toss up. Johnson has the experience and what it takes, but the tires and re-surfaced track, combined with the huge change in starting during the day at ending later at night--sun, tire temp, track temp, car handling, air temp---these are all factors to consider. I love Jr. and I think Stewart is also a contender, but I have a feeling it will be an underdog or somebody that comes from out of the blue the last 50 laps or so. I have a bad feeling that we are going to see a bunch of wrecks that ruin cars or completely take out the best drivers, because other drivers are acting stupid. Happy Hour tonight will be a good way to see how tomorrow will play out!!! It will be great to watch---the beer is chilling and the food will be cooked---I just wish it was tonight and not tomorrow!!! Boogity Boogity Boogity boys, LET'S GO RACIN'!!!!!

I think Tony Stewart or Dale Jr. will win.

Funny, good question. I guess they don't eat or drink for a while before the race. If it were me, I'd loose for sure.

mark martin is supposed to step out of the nextel cup, but is not retiring..\nricky rudd might not be back in a car, but will not be retiring..\nthere will probably be a few drivers who will not be getting in cars (not really many that are actively racing, but who have in the past and might in the future) but there haven't been any official retirement announcements..not even mark yet.

My favorite is Ken Schrader.. But I know your favorite is Tony Stewart. How do I know? Give me the ten points and I'll tell you!

#20 Tony Stewart  \nHe is a very talented driver.  Even starting at the back he normally has a top ten finish.  He is also a hothead and doesn't take any crap.  I respect that in a person.

I'd have to say Ryan Newman with Tony Stewart a real close second.  I wouldn't even put Jeff Gordon in the same league as the other two.  \n\nRyan has had some really bad luck this year.  If he's not in the wrong place at the wrong time and ending up in a crash that was started by someone else, then there's been some mechanical issues that need to be addressed.  Seems like Penske just isn't hitting on much this year.  Ryan "Rocketman" Newman won't go down without a fight.  I still think he'll come out of this year in fine shape.\n\nAs for Tony, I like him too, especially since he's calmed down his bad boy image of a few years back.  I think he's a great driver.  Even though his luck isn't running extremely well right now with his injuries.   He'll rally and be back at the top before too long.
