If you recall, the #7 Nationwide series car WON the pole for the seaon opening race at Daytona.  If she had the bigger plate (or, tapered spacer, and I believe she did) the only result was that the trip into the wall was at a higher rate of speed.  She is my pick at Talledega for the big spacer, if, in fact, she is entered.

If Danica's tapered spacer gets any bigger wouldn't her husband be curious about how this is happening?

Bingo , I think we have a winner  8) and if she's not in the race then it goes to junior.

The absolute best time I ever had [at a race track  :P] was at WGIS talking to Brock Yates for about an hour at the old media center under the big tent. Never did make it to his barn chock-full-of old cars in Perry or to the house in Wyoming as invited. Was just good talking to an old Wyoming county guy that my Grandpa used to sell sweet corn to!

Anywho... you guys are way off base. Jimmy J always get the big plates... cheater Chad will make sure of that!  :o

Sadly, although Brock Yates still lives in Wyoming, he is in the throes of dementia  :-[

3X sorry to hear that, another really great car guy to talk with. Loved that little Hot Rod road racing roadster.

Brock should have won an Oscar for his role in Cannonball Run.

Brock was the dean of racing conspiracies, ESPECIALLY towards NASCAR and several other racing sanctioning bodies...

Since Kenseth has a fork stuck in him, look for him to move over to the #20, Logano to the #22, and Stenhouse in the #17..........soon

Sad to hear of his declining health. Man could he tell a story. Looks like a car tried to drive thru the Canon Ball Inn in Wyoming... what's up with that?
