Nah, you're right, it wasn't his fault. I think they should be more concerned about the steam that was pouring out of the 88 car more than the fact that they have to start at the back. It's Daytona. Starting position isn't exactly important.voewoody;681080 wrote:Probably sounds like I have my Jr glasses on but that was not his fault...

Elliott, the son of 1988 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion Bill Elliott, will continue to compete for his family-owned team until he begins competing in NASCAR's development series. Bill Elliott Racing, based in Dawsonville, Ga., will field Chevrolets with support from Hendrick Motorsports.
“The apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree with Chase,” said Rick Hendrick, owner of Hendrick Motorsports in a release. “I’ve always admired Bill’s ability in a race car and how he handled himself with the fans. I see those same traits in Chase, with his natural driving talent and an awareness of what he needs to do away from the track to be successful. He comes from a great racing family, and it shows."

GoChiefs;681984 wrote:They don't target 'country' anymore. The whole redneck perception is a thing of the past. Of course you have your redneck fans, drivers, but you have that in any other sport too. Jeff Gordon, Carl Edwards, Kasey Kahne, Jamie McMurray, Jimmie Johnson, and many others just don't fit the country/redneck perception everyone has of NASCAR. That's why I laugh when they call it a 'redneck' sport nowadays. Cause it's just simply not true anymore. It's more corporate than any other sport out there.
