Making the best of a situation......that sums up Greenville, for us.
We had a really good race car for about 50 laps and then the rear tires just decided to just stop working.
The problem with Greenville is that it is absolutly a "one groove" racetrack, that being said, when your running in 5th and you lose all rear grip.....you become a sitting duck.
You can protect the bottom pretty easily at Greenville, as long as you have forward bite......we didn't
Matt did an incredible job to bring it home in 8th and in one piece. He just gets better every week and thats scary considering what we were able to do last year.
On the flip side, Ickler had the most incredible race car I have ever seen. With that body, the thing just looks fast even when its in the garage....and then they threw the green flag, and sadly for everyone else, his car was even faster on the track.
Other quick notes:
Good to see fellow Auburn, Mainer, Troy Crane back on the officiating staff for 2009.
The spotters area was very busy pre-race, Ken Schrader was spotting for Josh Richards and the Greenville faithful just couldn't beleieve he was in their midst. Sean Caisse also was pretty popular, he was tutoring ASM's Brett Moffit.....Sean will be running the ARCA race at The Rock this weekend, he will be stout. Also, in spotting attendance was the father of the 3-time Cup Champion, Jimmie Johnson. Gary was absolutly nothing like you would expect, he could have just been a fan in the stands and no one would have known any different.
Gibbs' new driver, Matt D. (im not gonna try) is definatly someone to watch in the future. The kid is super smooth and more importantly a very bright kid.
ASM is incredable at Greenville, Ickler had already put his first pole award of 2009 on his wall when young Brett ripped off an incredable lap....he went on to run a very good race.
29 cars, I was pretty impressed....I hope Tri-County brings the same pleasent suprises.

Greenville Inspection Day
TORNADO WARNING:
Please evacuate all high areas and non-secure places, as well as, stay away from all windows or glass.......
Thats what the lady in the lobby told us as the tornado warnings were going off all over the tv at 7:00pm tonight.
So what do we do?
Get in the van....and run!
Yes, it was a calculated move and maybe the calculations were off but a move none-the-less.
I firmly believe that we actually drove INTO the tornado zone as the winds nearly tossed the van onto its side but......we got to a hospital and waited....the ridiculously strong winds and rain passed and we drove back to the hotel, where......
Everyone is having a good ole time in the lobby, completely not knowing that a storm even existed....
life on the road...gotta love it.
As far as the track goes, it rained and rained hard all day..
We had some inspection and it all went well, the car count looked good but I can't say that I actually counted any cars....my guess would be somewhere around 25
We'll be turning laps tomorrow under sunny skies and warm temps...I can't wait

CWES Silly Season
The Traveling Circus has learned that Ryan Truex is officially running full-time in the Camping World East Series in 2009.
Not much of a surprise, right?
Well you may be surprised to hear that Ryan will be driving Michael Waltrip Racing Toyota’s, for his 2009 CWES campaign.
That’s funny, I’m pretty sure that Michael was talking retirement at this year’s Daytona 500, and handing over the reins to a younger driver for 2010.
What also is interesting is that Martin’s DEI deal is up at the end of the year.
Maybe Martin Sr. just saw a good deal at MWR for Ryan……or are the plans MUCH bigger for the Truex family?
All just speculation on my part, but the pieces do seem to align.

Post race
Some Showdown post race notes……
Ickler- had another stout piece but he pissed off the wrong guy I guess. Brian was bringing the field to the green very slow, very, very slow and he was doing brake checks. About 60 laps before Hornaday wrecked him, he drove up to him under yellow and rubbed his rear quarter for his restart games. Apperently, Hornaday felt he would police Ickler himself….
Trevor- got screwed bad. Nascar called him a lap down even though he never went down a lap. Nascar even admitted with 20 to go that Trevor was wronged but there was nothing they could do at that point. I can’t say it enough, the kid is the future of this sport and I hope everything works out for him.
Mayhew- it’s cool dude, we know you didn’t mean to almost destroy our 2nd car.
Hornaday- a complete weapon, nothing like I expected from a “Big 3” Champion. Hopefully, he was just having a bad night and that’s not a sign of things to come for Truck drivers this season.
Peyton- another great effort without the result to show for it. He can be “super” aggressive on the track at times but I don’t think Saturday was one of those nights. Yes, he bounced off us a couple times and fenced Joey on the last restart but he defiantly deserved to be treated with more respect. Peyton and his guys are good friends of ours and we wish them the best of luck in 2009
Joey- what can you say? He owed us one from Adirondack in ’07. Joe is a great kid and a good friend, we spent a lot of time with him over the rainy weekend and he’s a genuinely good person. That being said, what he did to Peyton was uncalled for and it was so obvious that it was coming that I told Matt to let Joey go get him and we’ll win this thing with 3 to go. His interview was unapologetic and that was not the way to go, he is young and will learn to take the blame for his mistakes, I guess he’s just not ready yet.

Showdown Champions
Nascar Toyota All Star Showdown Champions…….again
No we didn’t have the fastest car and no we didn’t cross the line first.
What we did was work as championship team, turned a backup car into a winner with ZERO practice laps and a had a driver who raced every one of the 250 laps like they were the last.
For those who don’t know, we blew a right front tire at 11 pm pst on Friday night and stuffed our race car in the fence causing us to go to a back up car.
By the time were able to leave Friday night it was Midnight and to get the car ready for Saturday we need to be at the track at 5:45 am.
We opened the track at 5:45 am on Saturday and closed it after post-race tech at 3:30 am Sunday morning, we had to take the motor apart for them………we passed with flying colors.
And the race itself............I don't even have enough time right now to get into it

All Star Showdown Friday Part 1
Rain.
Pretty much sums up whats going here.....the radar is a bit more hopeful for later today and definatly for tomorrows race
Logano came by and watched the replay of the '07 Showdown in our lounge. Joey has always been a friend to us and the Home Depot orange hasn't changed any of that.

All Star Showdown Thursday
Tech.....
Rain.....
More Tech....
The shaft!......Our left front fender and the front fenders of most of the fast East cars came into question. But the real question was.....what is the rule? Well there is in fact no template or rule regarding the area in question of these cars. It didn't, in their opinion, "look right"......ahhh the old judgment call......We fixed it in record time and will be a half a second slower tomorrow because of it..........probably not
More Tech....
Finally, I got to dry the track for Late Model practice in Penny Aicardi's Mustang.......The bottom groove was really working for my Ford and picked off a bunch of cars with the good grip I had down there.....I didn't recieve a trophy though.
It's off to dinner at Outback and to bed.....gotta be at the track for 7am.

All Star Showdown Wednesday Day 1
After a 5 hour flight to Vegas then a quick flight to LA, we are in finally in Irwindale and ready to get after it at the track...........but
As we arrive at the track to get our bags out of the haulier, I get some breaking news.......
Our truck driver had to bring a show car, which is our race car for this weekend, to Camp Pendelton for a Nascar event, no big deal right?
Wrong.
As he unloaded the car, he caught the left front fender on the truck and wrecked our race car before we even get on the track.
Here we go again.....More unexpected problems.
Well we are off to the track for inspection day and apperently "fix the damage day"
Stay tuned

Adirondack July, 28th 2007
Adirondack July, 28th 2007
The day of the most corrupt race in history.
It’s a day that most of us on the team still can’t even talk about. A day, in which hard work and perseverance paid off, only to be ripped away by one man and his dying regime.
The race weekend started just like they all seem to do; a long ride to a hotel, catch a few hours sleep and be ready to be at the track before the sun comes up, another day in the life of the traveling circus.
When we go to Adirondack it’s almost a “home game” feeling for our team, we know that we are going to be one of the ones to beat because of our past success there.
Any pre race swagger that we might have had was eliminated before we even practiced. An oil tank fire, a separate broken fuel pump incident and off and on rain showers allowed us to have very little practice time and we ended up fourth in final practice.
Luckily qualifying was rained out and we’d be able to start second because of the point standings. With qualifying rained out that put the 2 fastest cars, Bryon Chew and Sean Caisse behind us and Logano on the pole. Joey was really struggling to get a hold of the track and we knew that we’d be able to take advantage of that right off the bat.
After all the pre-race stuff, it was time to get the green flag.
When we went green, we got the lead from Joey by turn 2 of the first lap and took off to a good 5 car length lead by lap 5. Right about then, I told Matt that Mike Olsen was coming hard, Olsen started 3rd but got held up by Joey for a the first few laps. Our game plan was to be very easy in the early going and Olsen was just going a lot harder than we were ready to go at that point. On lap 7, we gave Mike the room he needed to take the lead and we were just content on following for awhile.
Mike got by us and took off to a strong 10 car lead and still pulling away. I actually was thinking at this point that we were all in trouble and that Olsen was gonna run away with this race……..but…….just like that, Olsen’s car got super tight off of turn four and we began to run him down like he had an anchor attached. We caught him and got by, to get the lead back on lap 20, and then it was on.
As we drove to a comfortable lead and lapping cars, I’m also keeping my eyes on whos running fast and how Joey doing, because he is the guy we are chasing for the championship. During the green flag run, Sean Caisse had secured the 2nd spot but still wasn’t catching us, and Joey was really struggling to even stay in the top 10, we were feeling pretty good about our chances of having a good day.
Over the next 50 to 70 laps, we would dominate, leading by as much a half track over 2nd place and lapping all but the top 13 cars. Also during this time we encountered had a handful of cautions, in turn also had a handful of restarts as the leader of the race.
East series restarts in 2007 had become an absolute crapshoot to this point. The series uses a cone as a restart line and the rule is “all restarts must begin in the VISINITY on the orange cone.” The week before, at Thompson, Caisse beat us on a couple late race restarts the he jumped by 15-20 car lengths before the cone.
So is that the vicinity rule? No one ever knew, because the ruling regime never had anyconstancy on their calls and it was in their words always “a judgment call.”
On every restart we had from lap 20 to lap 142, we took off within 3-5 car lengths of the cone. Restarts that were so good in fact, that the race director said over the radio “OK 40 and 44 lets have another good restart like we had before” as we came to the green.
Then on lap 142, the tower decided that they needed to decide who wins the race, rather than have a legitimate competitive finish.
Bryon Chew had gotten by Cassie and was now restarting to our outside for the lap 142 restart. It was the first time Chew was to our outside and we really had no problem with it because we had the dominant car and didn’t feel any threat from anyone.
As a spotter, I’m more of a cheerleader than a help on restarting. The driver knows when its time to go and I’m just there saying “go,go,go, green, green” until I can clear him.
As we came to the cone on lap 142, Matt took off 4 car lengths before the cone, as was shown on TV, but this time Chew was really lagging and we had him clear by the start finish line with Caisse still on our ass.
Then the most absurd thing I had ever heard in my life was being said to me.
The race director said over the radio “40 car, give it back”………..
Now at this point my spotter official, is pulling on my shoulder saying the same thing to me that I already heard on the radio, as I’m still trying to spot us from Caisse’s charge into turn 2.
“Give it back”!?!?!?
Give what back? ……We are the LEADER….how do WE give the LEAD back to the SECOND place car?!?!?!?
It doesn’t even make sense.
But despite all that, and all the confusion…..we did what they asked and allowed Chew to come up the outside under green and he lead lap 143, check the record books and video, Chew lead the next lap.
So we went back to the lead by turn 2 of lap 143 after “giving it back”….when I heard the 2nd most absurd thing I had ever heard in my life.
“40 car….. stop and go, jumping the start….didn’t give it back in time”
Didn’t give it back in time?!?!?!
We are doing 16 second laps and you think we didn’t give back in time?!?!?!
Not to mention, WE NEVER EVEN JUMPED THE START!!!
At that point we knew that we would never have a chance to win against these two in the tower, who had decided somewhere that day that we werent allowed to win.
We had our stop and go under green, finsished the remaining 8 laps. We passed a bunch of cars and crossed the line in 11th.
After the checkard flag fell, I was numb and felt like I had just been attacked or something to that effect.The walk down from the spotters stand is usually just that, but after the race, I was running. All along the way I had to have had atleast 10 fans stop me and say things like “that was bullshit” or “you guys got robbed”.
As I’m running to get to the garage area, I had no idea that Matt had pulled into victory lane in protest. I couldn’t see it going on all I could hear is what sounded like a riot about to happen, these fans were pissed and rightfully so. The anger that was in me after that race was a feeling I have never felt before and it was only compounded by the smile on the series directors face when he walked by our trailer.
At least one member from EVERY team came to our trailer and said that they were sorry for the injustice we had been served. And even quote from Andy Santerre to the media following the race, “One of our full time teams jumped the restart supposedly. He dominated the race. He had the car to beat. You just don’t do that. If he had done it two or three times and they had warned him I could see it. But to do it once and get blackflagged is the worst deal I’ve seen in a long time.”
As we loaded up Dan Pardus, the commentator from SPEED, came to our trailer and told us that immediately after the race the the ruling regime asked for a video replay of the lap 142 restart. He said that both of the officials turned to him, Pardus, and asked him what he thought because they weren’t really sure if they had made the right call. Pardus said that it wasn’t a jump, to which the series director replyed, “Oh well, there is nothing we can do now”
The following week at Lime Rock, we had the driver/crew chief/spotter meeting. After the meeting, the race director pulled Matt aside with myself still standing there and told him point blank that he wasn’t proud the call and that it was out of his hands. “Whats done is done”, he said.
So it was that simple to them....... what’s done, is done.
A year later, we won at Adirondack. Our 3rd win of 2008, at the time, and no win had been any sweeter. I’m not sure if it closed the book on what happened that July night back in 2007, but it definatly helped in taking the sting of that injustice away.
