Long term predictions, here's mine.

-going by the fact that Darrell Waltrip Retired one year after his first season in a Ford, the first time in his career not racing a chevy for a while. Bill Elliott will probably retire soon. (I'm not saying this just to tick off Friz)

-Seeing as how some thought Mike Skinner will be fired and Kevin Harvick would take his place, Kevin Harvick anounced last week he'll drive the no. 30 AOL chevy next year. I do believe Skinner will be fired, I think Childress will put his son in law, (Mike Dillon?) in the car.

 

-Terry Labonte will probably Retire within the next 4 seasons. Hendrick will probably put Jack Sprague in the No. 5 car.

-Rusty Wallace will probably retire within 5 seasons. Don't know who will go in no. 2 after him.

Yo're not gonna tick me off.

Big Bill probably will retire in a couple of years. He's definitely past his prime, but I think he's got a few wins left in him yet.

If Skinner doesn't show something soon, he will be looking for a new job. I didn't hear about Harvick. His best bet would be to stay with RCR.

Labonte? I agree, he just doesn't seem like he's enjoying himself anymore.

Rusty? He's here for a while yet. I don't see him slowing down for 10 years.

One thing that I really hate to see is the fact that Dave Marcis is getting pushed out. He refuses to get into the big money, high profile deal and just can't afford to keep up. Did you know that he only has three full-time employees? He does a lot of testing for RCR, DEI and IROC, and that is really what keeps him afloat. He is the last of the independents and I hate to see that end.

Sorry, I got to rambling...

My biggest wish is that Ron Hornaday does well and makes it to the top.

I don't really see Wallace or Labonte retiring real soon, but you never know.  As far as Skinner, I really don't like him, but I don't have a good reason why.  

How about some future stars that will be big names like Earnhardt, Gordon, Elliott, Jarrett etc.

Here's what I think:

Earnhardt Jr.  (You pretty much know he will have a ride available for as long as he wants, with some of the best equipment)

Kenseth,

B. Labonte (Maybe he already is),

J. Burton (Same as above),

T. Stewert (Hate to say it),

C. Atwood,

K. Harvick.

I can't think of anymore off the top of my head.

Friz,  do you know Hornaday or did you work for him or the team or something?

MountaineerTom,

I used to Crew Chief for a couple of local dirt cars in So Cal years ago. We had our end of the season race and Ron Hornaday was there with a Street Stock and a Limited Sportsman(Late Model in some venues). He tore up the L.S. pretty bad and since my team was camping at the track with him, I spent about half the night drinking beer with him and trying to straighten out his car. It turned out to be terminal, though. At the time Ron was the Southwest Tour Champ and was moving up to Winston West. This was around 1987, long before the Truck series began. Anyway, He was just a real nice, down to Earth guy and made quite an impression on me. I've been a loyal fan ever since.

Kenseth,

B. Labonte (Maybe he already is), Drives for Richard Petty

J. Burton (Same as above), Drives for Richard Chidress

T. Stewert (Hate to say it), Has formed his own team with Gene Hass

C. Atwood, I believe he drives in the now Nationwide Series

K. Harvick. Drives for Richard Childress

 

I can't think of anymore off the top of my head.

 

Friz, do you know Hornaday or did you work for him or the team or something?

How did these predictions turn out?

 

(not a Nascar fan, so I have no idea).

Jr. drives for Rick Hendrick, Rusty Wallace did retire, but owns a Nationwide team, Bill Elliott still drives on occasion, Dale Jarrett retired.

 

The best I can do for now Jeff. I know you don't give a sh*t any how. :thumbs:

We got owners, favorite drivers,

Boy, that Tony Stewart's a whiner.

And we got rookies, advertisers,

Like uhhh let's say: Havoline, Target, Sharpie, Caterpillar, Nextel,

Mountain Dew, Dupont, Lowe's, Home Depot, Kodak, M&Ms, UPS, Tide, Alltel, Gillette, Kelloggs, Viagra, Dewalt, and uhhh Budweiser.

But the trophy girls still have my favorite parts.

Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, I love NASCAR.

 

We got cautions, we got pitstops,

You can't hear a dang thing once the flag drops.

And poor Kyle Petty, an' Swervin' Marlin, ha ha,

Are gonna find it tough to beat Mark Martin.

'Cause that Viagra car is always driven hard.

Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, I love NASCAR.

 

I love NASCAR, it's my kind of race.

Just watchin' jeff gordon plow up a wall,

Puts a smile on dale jr.'s face.

No caviar, it's beer and Mopar.

Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, I love NASCAR.

 

I like short tracks, you'll see more wrecks,

And about a million screamin' rednecks.

And ol' Jeff Burton, ha, an' poor Mike Skinner,

Well, they've done forgot what it's like to be a winner.

And Ken Schrader still ain't sure who his sponsors are.

Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, I love NASCAR.

 

"Hey, that was a close one up there fellas I about got into one there.

I might pull over right up here next pitstop, I want you to get two right front tires.

I need a wedge on the left side, get this windsheild cleaned, get on the gas.

And if you don't care, hand me a pair of underwear, I have messed all in my drawers."

 

I like football. (I like football.)

I like my wrestlin'.

I like a good game of air hockey,

I like some ping-pong now an' then.

How about you, Toby?

 

(Toby)

I love NASCAR, it's my kind of race.

Just to see Big E back on the track,

Would put a smile on every face.

No one drove a car quite like Earnhardt.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
