Ray Evernham on Sirius Nascar

Ray told Dave Moody on Nascar radio today that the new Dodge motors are far behind schedule. The new motors slated for real time testing in cars not in the chase were scheduled to be ran before the sesaon ends. Ray commented that the new motors will not be ready before seasons end, and there is a chance they will not be ready by Daytona!!! As for the reason, he hinted at reasons further up the food chain.

Thought this was funny...sound familiar?

Bleecher Report- Jeff Gordon having a hard time with COT

If there is one word to sum up Gordon’s problems, it is handling. The No. 24 team can bring a fast car to qualifying, yet they can make it drivable for the race.

The lack of handling was clear early on when Gordon dropped to eleventh by Lap 65. From then on, we would see the cycling of Gordon trying to hold track position then pitting for major adjustment, a routine which unfortunately has become the No. 24 team's style for the last part of this season.

Many people’s analysis of Gordon's falling in the standing has focused on him as a driver. Gordon's record is one of the best out there, thus the bar is set high for him. The theory that Gordon should be able to drive through it despite the car is flawed. Could the star quarterback make the winning pass with a deflated ball?

The astonishing thing about Gordon is that even with the “deflated ball” he gets out there goes side by side with Ragan in Lap 177 for 18th.Gordon races no matter what you give him.
