I went to thr ROC last year. Great fun and no-one takes it seriously. Being racing drivers, once the visors are down they all want to win, but I don't think anyone is going to claim that Mattias Ekstrom is the greatest driver walking the planet at the moment!

Woo Hoo! Patrick Carpentier on the Pole At New Hampshire !! A Canadian from Quebec. A First, to my knowledge that a Canadian has sat on a Cup pole.
This guy can flat out qualify, no doubt about it. Even without a rain delay he would have been in the top 10.
Honourable mention to Bobby Labonte, but a 'Northern Boy' did him out of what was looking like a pole for the Petty Organization (or whatever it is called now).

It ISN'T where a driver starts that is important ...
it is where the driver FINISHES that counts
IMO Patrick Carpentier will steadily progress to the back ... mokin:
Carpentier will go from the penthouse to the outhouse in only a few laps.2008 ESPN Stockcar Challenge MSF Champion :D

the way Harvicks car looks, I give his lead maybe 5 laps at most
Brian France is a violation of Section 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing)

The fact is that the great open wheelers can make it in NASCAR, Tony S is a perfect example/ So, if a newcomer to NASCAR does not make it, we will know that they were not that good to begin with!

Great speeds. Did you miss WRC machinery on these roads?
