The RaceScene

Hear me now and believe me later... Suckers. This is how 2012 is going to shakedown because I Ben7strodomus see the future.

Cup: I don't like the guy but Carl wins it all in 2012. Jimmy, Brad & Kasey are the only guys I see that can take the title from him. Kyle wins a bunch leading up to the chase but then implodes again as does Harvick with there great team building skills. Tony is still parting from his 2011 tittle and is a non factor. TV Rating and attendance are flat. Brain France come up with a new gimmick (3 wide restarts for the chase) while doing ecstasy with strippers. They call it a 3-way. Scott Speed legally changes his name to World Champ to help his career. It fails. RedBull sells for 10 cent on the dollar and is turned into a start and park 4 car super team for rental rides.

Daytona: Jr wins the 500 but doesn't make chase.

Nationwide: This is going to be interesting. Austin wins title. Kyle and Kurt implode and Kurt gets fired by his own brother for being Kurt and screaming at Kyle about how crappy the team and car is telling Mommy. Danica is in the way again but keeps her ride after a sex tape surfaces right about the time she is going to be fired. NASCAR loves the pub and Trojan signs on with GoDaady and she gets a few more years. Rating and attendance are down but NASCAR says there the best every. TV cameras tell the real story. Nationwide sets record for most yellows and totaled cars in a season as all the buy a ride drivers can't figure out that Daddy's checkbook doesn't equal skills. Scrape metal price will be at an all time low

Trucks: Sauter wins it by a lot after giving it away in 2011. Hornaday 2nd with a bunch of wins and proves age means nothing and young guns are all NASCAR PR and daddy's checkbook hype. Record for yellow in trucks too, same reason as nationwide NASCAR starts testing a spec motor in the trucks similar to the K & N motor but improved to be more reliable but still has yard sale of parts out the oil pan and oil down the track. Haraka team folds after 4 or 5 races then his Dad has a complete meltdown at the speedway and runs onto the track naked in protest. NASCAR imposes a lifetime restraining order and he is never heard from again. Most likely spending his retirement days at John Hopkins mental health ward selling light weight super trick double throw down low drag cup style walkers with Penske & Hendrick stickers on them. The Onion is finally out of a full time ride because nobody can afford all the wrecked trucks he destroy's... Same for Steven Wallace

West: Thorn... Of Course. Pursely, Mayhew & Holmes give him a run as the tour alumni get it done. The rest are in the way and creating job security for the fiberglass industry. 6 or 7 full time teams compete at every race as the schedule hurts the small teams. I see some inter-teams issues at GPM & BMR. Chemisty is off. One of the west hacks will roll a west car battling for 20th and then get out and blame his spotter, Obama & the economy. In his interview he will claim that he was on his way to a sure win as his set-up and talent was just coming in. Yep it will happen

SRL: Petit.... again even thought his know it all online groupies give him a bad rap. Pursely Kanke & Gomes run great and win but not as consistent as master P. JRC closes as race shop and opens as a greenhouse for ?? because Joiner left town and it's not the same without him. A bunch of newbees get a wake up call getting sent home with tore up cars in b-mains. SRL's keeps growing as the series is the real deal without the NASCAR BS.

Irwindale: Announce part time schedule in mid February. Opening night is a disaster with very low car count and no fans as the speedway never told anybody when and what time they were racing claiming they posted it on the website and Facebook the day before.. If it hasn't happened yet it will after opening night... Boob Descrewbio finally gets the axe and a bunch of all night party's at raceshop all around LA go viral on facebook. The song na na na na hey hey goodbye is playing in a continues loop as race teams get busy building cars again. New guy will bring SRL and some stability back and the speedway along with a 2012 banquet will start to rebound and be successful again. Track will have new ownership or new management by May. New management will add go-cart, off road, speedway bikes and 1/4 midgets to the racing activities at the track

New Mesa: Finally gets some good news and work begins to have it open in 2012. I see it having a race by October Classic time if all goes well. After all the hype the first few races are amazing with full pits and grandstands but then it's anybody's guess how it will do. All depends on management and if they learned from Irwindale's mistakes. Lester gets hired as the back gate monitor and golf cart maintenance guy. Look for Harvick and Hornaday to make a race in the first year.

Lucas Oil starts a Late Model or Super Late Model series to go along with there mod series when Irwindale drops the ball... again

Election Year: Not a fan... but Yobama wins because the other side tears each other apart trying to get the GOP nominations. The world keeps spinning and the sun still rises on 12-12-12 and not much changes for the next few years regardless what a bunch of internet clowns claim.

Giants win Sunday as do the Miami heat in June.

ROFLMAO!!!! Best post so far this Year and I PREDICT will be best post of the Year!

Sometimes when you watch NASCAR you feel you're part of the grandstand crowd in Tom Slick, the only sound over the PA is elevator tunes and the only thing they serve at the concession stand is rice cakes. God I miss Joe Volkhomer.

Thanks BEN7STRODOMUS! I dont have rule changes or a schedule, nor have I renewed my NASCAR license since Irwindale hasn't renewed theirs... I'm actually in the beginning stages of depression since my local race track appears to be more interested in hollywood than racing.

But one things for sure... I had a huge smile on my face after reading your post!

Thank You!

Junior would be to HIGH to find a Foot Stool and pack a lunch for such an impossible mission!

well, whatever your opinion is, it just sucks to see people talk shit about the guy and his business when they have no idea how much that kid has done for racing in the west.

Love him, or hate him, the kid has put some people in the winners circle, and is usually willing to help anyone that asks.

Just didn't think he, or his team deserved the petty ass comment.

ben7- you da man!

Dude, Relax It's 99% a joke and you're the only one not laughing. There's a big difference between smack talk and a joke. Dumbass!

God I miss Joe Volkhomer. DavReno Amen to that brother and everything that came with that guy in the big thick glasses! God rest his soul!

Post #1 scores a 10!
This post is not far behind.
Thanks for the laugh...... Now off to Vegas with my inside information

It appears my Giants prediction was spot on. 1 for 1 so far

Everyday Irwindale doesn't release a schedule or news only means one thing. I bet their Facebook site goes down next and then you know. It's over! Let's just hope it gets reopened with new owners or managers that work with the team and not belittle them.

You mean the way you don't belittle teams?

You got a point there Greenie. I'm guilty

But I don't belittle everybody, I give props to those that are deserving, earn it, worked hard and have real racing accomplishments. Of course I belittle those that buy, fake and BS their way in racing. Which one are you?

2 for 2... Irwindale website down and Facebook moved.
