What are these guys running for this year??? Will the outlaws give them anything worth wild..

Its always been $25,000 in previous years, so don't see any reason to change it.

Adding $6 trillion of debt in his 1st term and now if 
elected again he wouldn't have to worry about an 
electorate in 2016 so the sky is the limit.And his EPA 
would continue to put the screws to oil drilling and 
mining for coal.Can you say bankruptcy.

The rookie race is very interesting now b/ Toni Lutar and Ben Gregg. The driver that can consistently make A mains, will take this one. Both of them missed the A main both nights in Floirda.

TK will blow Gregg and Lutar away.

TK staying on tour? thought he alreday had a Rookie WoO year? with Stewart's rookie year? (05?)looks like Darah is out for a bit, is his replacement eligble?

I doubt his replacement will be a true rookie to the tour.

what is the criteria for being a "rookie"

I think $25k would double the winnings for Gregg & Lutar unless a lot of shows have 19 cars.

Darrah could miss a month and pass them in pts. Hopefully pts position is what determines RoY in the WoO.

Sorry... I sound cold but it will be fact soon enough.

surely tk isn't a contender. i think he has had a run at it already too.

You have to run a certain percentage of race and TK is under that percentage. If you remember he was pulled from the road the last time he went for ROTY and according to the rules he is eligable.

Too bad Cody will be out longer than a month. Fractured tibia means about 9 months, if not longer.

Thanks hooka...I sort of thought that but not "medically talented" if you know what I mean.

I will be VERY surprised if he races this year!

TSA...It's not a GROPE...it's a Freedom Pat!

Tk will be lucky if he can get into the top seven and stay there for the first 20 races. If they do they will stay out the whole year. Ben gregg will win the roy award if they can do the whole year. Toni lutar ran 19 races last year and had a couple of 9 places finishes so it will be interesting to watch these two go at it.

A fractured tibia is not as serious as a femur. The femur is the bone in the upper leg, it is the largest bone in the body. It takes a long time to heal and rehabilitate.

TIB is the stongest bone though because it supports the weight of the human, but in a car the weight is on the rear end, was told the doctor will have him fitted with a special cast to race with but will have trouble walking with it, may have to hobble for a while

Stupid. Rest and let it heel with time, then come back and race. Could end up making it even worse yet if he wrecks while it's broke, cast or no cast.

agreed , just the thought of a wreck while healing just floors me , unless he wants a perminant limp, I would stay cool for a while, the doctor should reconsider the accomidation , sorry but true, everybody on here will attest to bones just dont feel the same after a trauma ,cold weather,standing for periods of time ect, will eventually show up in older years ,regardless, seems about 80% bone complications cause trouble or discomfort in years to come ,, for the real future of a racer its proubly time to sideline driving and hit it hard when 100%.
