I thought the BGN Champ got a shot at the Shootout as well.

How in the Sam Hill did Geoff(rey) Bodine get in. Was I on a "crack binge" when he got a pole?!?!

I thought Ryan newman was in the #19 and Casey Atwood in the #7!

Is NASCAR doing this to just mess me up or did I miss a major decision change? HELP!!

I'M NASCARILLY IMPAIRED!!

Okay, I just need to get my breathing under control(paper bag), and I need answers!

Geez Friz! One too many martinis tonight? :D

 

 

No BGN champ.

 

Geoffrey Bodine got the pole @ Homestead (I think).

 

Casey Atwood is in the #7, but Ray Evernham still Technically "Owns" the car he drives, and since Jeremy Mayfield (Not Ryan Newman, he's with Penske) did not get a pole last year, I guess Ray thought it would be better to put Atwood in the 19 car. (OR my "scource", That'sracin.com, doesn't have their facts straight. :( )

19) #20-Tony Stewart (won in 2001)

20) #2-Rusty Wallace (won in 1998)

21) #09-Geoffrey Bodine (won in 1992) - looks like he will NOT be in, see story below.

22) #36-Ken Schrader (won in 1989,1990)

23) #5-Terry Labonte (won in 1985)

Yes, I did have a little touch of the grain last night. I was so frazzled by the fact that Harvick wasn't in it, I mixed up Ryan and Jeremy.

A few years ago at least, the BGN Champ was in the Busch Clash. It was David Green in a Busch sponsored Chevy.

Well I would like to know why he is practicing for the shootout if he's not going to be in it.  ???

 

From Jayski's:

 

Budweiser Shootout Practice Friday: #09-Geoffrey Bodine was fastest with a speed of 186.513mph with #19-Casey Atwood 2nd fastest at 186.451. Slowest was #24-Jeff Gordon at 182.996. See NASCAR.com for the Budweiser Shootout Practice Speeds. Most of the top speeds were accomplished in the draft. #8-Dale Earnhardt Jr ran the most laps, 51.(2-9-2002)

He is suppose to be in it.  That was an older article.  I seen where they said why he wasn't, but now I can't find it.  He is a past winner of the Bud Shootout, Busch Clash when he won it in '92.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.
