Thank you, Bill, for having the Ignore List option available.

Re: Silly Season Rumors....
 

Levi reiterated again tonight that he's excited about next year with TSR and wanted to stop the endless rumor mill. Do people want to cause trouble within that team or what?

Tracy is Levi's teammate. Stenhouse has signed with Roush-Fenway and will race ARCA, but you'll still see him quite a bit.

Darland is staying with both his teams, and Bubby Jones has moved into the crew chief role at Pace Brothers Racing.

Any other questions?

Who won the basketball game?

Did Biby hurt anyone ?

Was Ricky's team Colors to his liking ?

Did Jeff sign anyone to a Basketball development program ?

Thats it from here ........

Pace and what? Lewis or Fox SC?

Re: Silly Season Rumors....
 

Darland is running for Pace and Lewis.

Tim,
The big story from Mooresville High was the destruction of David's chin. He had to go get stitches after his face-dive. David's high-intensity play finally got the best of him.

Bryan and Ricky were on the same team, and seemed to do well after dropping their first two games. My team (and David's) was playing theirs when the early end came. Bryan was the closest Ricky would have had to a problem, if you know what I mean! :)

Biby was very physical, as always, and proved to be my team's eraser on the inside. He does not play clean, but he does play hard!! Clem seemed to be a target of his antics.

Oh yeah, Jeff came out to play, and he manned the point for my team. He also got a little chippy with Clem, but his leadership was key and I appreciated the fact that he didn't shoot much. Pretty good assists numbers tonight for ole JD!

These are all facts. Rumor has it, though, that Levi Jones is planning a trip down to show the boys how a Southern Illinois boy can ball!!

Re: Silly Season Rumors....
 

Hopefully better than the Southern Illinois basketball team...

Bub is going to DD's Pace team or Damion? Sorry Im a little confused

Re: Silly Season Rumors....
 

1. For the record, spreading false rumors is not good for the sport. It's not good for those teams or drivers involved, either. Believe me, this has been a big problem lately
2. Levi is staying at TSR. Let's stop that talk now.........Kirk Spridgeon

man, kirk. you take yourself way too seriously!! and, you give this little message board WAY too much importance. you're telling us that 8 or 10 guys speculating on who is going to be where next season is harming the sport and the teams? that's like saying that it's almost impossible to find someone in Indiana who can excel on both pavement and dirt! the high schools and colleges are full of them! the problem is not being unable to find someone with the talent, it's finding someone who can afford it.

To my defense, it was a quick game--first one to seven points wins. It was a fastbreak going the other way and I figured I had to stop them from scoring or the game would have been over in short order. So, basically, I fouled the crap out of the guy, lost my footing, and landed chin-first on the hardwood.

After five hours in the emergency room, I have a newfound scar, ten stitches long. Oh, and I'll be back for next week's game. I'm not scared.

And for the record, I thought Levi was going to replace Fernando Alonso at McLaren. You're telling me that's not true? What a disheartening 24 hours this has been!

Re: Silly Season Rumors....
 

Does a mod have an interest in TSR and Levi? Is that why that post went poof?? Rumors are just that and if TSR is so thinned skinned maybe they need TS to come to the shop and thicken their skin up. TS seems to bounce with rumors pretty good. I heard WAlker say that Levi was talking about after Fla making a move. But what has walker done except cash everybodys check?? Why would a champion go there, unless he is tired of winning, cause Jeff's win ratio has dropped a bit.
Speaking of people leaving and USAC what's up there. Heard Owen posse was out too?
Jimmy Jones is done with Ballou? Jones is looking for a job.
Rumors are just that and it's something to talk about. Hell it might even stir up a good cat fight at times those are fun to watch on line.
Thanks Bill for giving us race fans the tools to stay up with racing and the freemdom to talk about it.

Mr. Happy ? 2nd pole over at Brad's Gold club !

Re: Silly Season Rumors....
 

If Jimmy Jones is looking for work, he won't be looking long.JJ's sh1t was good ,his set-ups were "money", and nothing fell off his racecars!
Looking at the Owen thing, it seems the "posse" is safe, but the tribe leader is history.
Love when people take shots at guys like Walker, when those taking the shots could'nt find the jack in there little queer cars.

Re: Silly Season Rumors....
 

"But what has walker done except cash everybodys check?? Why would a champion go there, unless he is tired of winning, cause Jeff's win ratio has dropped a bit"

I guess 3 USAC owners championships, a pair of runner ups, and a pair of 3rds and a few top 5/10s in national points isn't anything to be proud of, 7 wins in the last 3 years including the top paying race twice just sucks. God forbid he rented out a ride for one season... no other owner would ever do such a thing. Bad thing is the kid did a pretty decent job most of the time and had some real strong runs. Oh yeah not to mention he fielded two cars most of the year with a mix of veterans and young guys behind the wheel and had some great runs with that car as well (Ricky Stenhouse, Brad Sweet, Daron Clayton). Jeff's program is just as top notch as any and if you disagree you don't have a clue. Maybe you can field a car and do a better job?

Don't underestimate 8 or 10 guys. That is about the amount that complained on here about Lawrenceburg being too wet. That is why we had to watch overpacked slick tracks. The best tracks were at the first and the last races. I hope nice guy promoter Dave R. quits listening to people on here. So obviously people on here can make a bad difference.

Re: Silly Season Rumors....
 

Jeff's stuff is history, anybody can go fast with a Claxton engine like he has, look at who else Claxton put into V/L in 2007. Probally more times than the Walker moblie. 7 wins in the last 3 years???? Hell Billy Butterballs got 9 wins himself in 2007 alone. Racing is what did you win last , not 10 years ago.

Well bud I was referring to USAC wins, I'm not sure on the official count of total wins, but I know Darland won quite a few the two years he drove for Jeff. One USAC win is more USAC wins than Billy won the last 10 years especially the two 30K wins in Cali, but nothing against him he is a quality driver. Hell, Petty won at least 5 or 6 shows with limited time (and a Bullet chassis) with Jeff in 2006....:darland:

Brent, I seriously doubt that this message board is what tipped the scales regarding Lawrenceburg's track prep. All it takes is a set of eyes and a little common sense to know things weren't right for the double USAC show. Mel pulled me aside before the first heat race was run and said, "Cecil, I f----- up!!" Dave and Mel knew they needed to change how they were doing things for track prep. I honestly think they were a little gun-shy after flipping 12 race cars in the opening night USAC show (my car included!!!!!) and just held back on the water a bit too much for the ISW shows. Just my opinion, however.

Re: Silly Season Rumors....
 

Cecil, hope you didn't think I thought you were one complaining about the early tracks, but I did see alot of people who did. Also in no way was that meant as a slam at their staff. I felt they could have arguably been promoters of the year.

Anyone who takes rumors seriously needs to back away from the computer for awhile and get outside a bit.

Brent, In no way did I take your post for anything other than how you intended it. I'm just questioning how much impact this message board affected their track prep. You can disagree with or question anything I say on here. I can take it because I dish it out also!:emote20: I enjoy your posts and respect your opinions. We're good!

I think what Kirk was trying to say in that post was that sometimes your guys rumors really get old...and im talking about the serious ones..that you seem to say every year that never are true...jmo:clauson:

Who would want to drive for someone stupid enough to read and believe rumors on an obscure web-site? He's better off if the owner is that much of a dumb-@$$ (that is, unless the driver actually did leak information prematurely. Then he deserved to be fired).
