The crew has done an outstanding job with him this season! If Junior progresses to the point where he can pass cars on the track he may break the winless skid. Go 88!

As of today:

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- NASCAR has penalized the No. 18 team in the Sprint Cup Series as a result of rule infractions discovered during post-race inspection Sunday at Pocono Raceway.
The No. 18 car was found to be in violation of Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing); 12-4-J (any determination by NASCAR officials that race equipment used in the event does not conform to NASCAR rules); and 20-12.8.1B (body height requirements -- car failed to meet the minimum front car heights) of the 2011 NASCAR rule book.
As a result, crew chief Dave Rogers has been fined $25,000, while owner Joe Gibbs and driver Kyle Busch have been penalized with the loss of six championship owner and six championship driver points, respectively.
Joe Gibbs Racing released a statement Monday afternoon: "We brought the No. 18 car back to our race shop and have identified the problem which caused us to measure low during the post-race inspection process in Pocono [Sunday] afternoon. We have made NASCAR aware of our findings and we accept the penalty they have issued today."

Didnt hurt his standings any, tho, he is still in 5th.

No Childress?

coyotes22;803058 wrote:No Childress?

Nah, I think you gotta put Hendrick in before Childress.

Hendrick has 14 Drivers' championships (10 Sprint Cup Series, 1 Nationwide Series, and three Camping World Truck Series), 243 race wins and 230 pole positions in 27 years.

Childress has 12 Driver's Championships (6 Sprint Cup Series, 5 Nationwide Series, and 1 Camping World Truck Series), 193 race wins, and 95 pole positions in 30 years.

All Childress's Cup Championships came under 1 driver, while Hendricks has had 3 different Cup Champions driving for him.

When did Sr win a championship, not being with Childress?

His first one?

Yes, 1980. Rod Osterlund was the car owner.

Thank You.

I wasnt exactly watching Nascar yet, in 1980. In fact, I wasnt really watching anything.

How many drivers have won the championship of both the Nationwide/Busch/Grand National etc Series, and the Winston Cup/Nextall/Sprint Series? You know what I'm talkin' about.
