Decided to compile a list of Start and Park cars during this NASCAR Season so far. I'll update it to include Cup and Trucks soon.


Good work there, you could even go a little bit more in depth and add a couple more that parked:

#03
Vegas - Lewandoski 6 Laps
Fontana - Kennedy 21 Laps

#05
Nashville - Allen 3 Laps

#52
Vegas - Harr 8 Laps
Nashville - Schendel 32 Laps
*Lepage only went 54 laps at Richmond but had legit engine problems.

#97
Vegas - Conway 2 Laps (actually parked #87 after JN wrecked it, but was entered to park #97)
Fontana - Nemecheck 31 Laps

Morgan Shepherd was out early at Texas but I think it was a legit problem.

Also, it's interesting how the JRR #49 becomes the #70 when ML isn't entered. To help ML stay in the top 30 Setzer will actually go pretty far. At California he ran over half the race and at Talladega he ran 100 of the 120 laps. However, when that team carries the #49 Setzer wheels that thing to the garage as quickly as possible.

Good luck with the Cup list, it should be way easier........LOL

Trucks are really simple, NO Start & Parks in the first 4 races !!!!!
However, at Nashville you had:
#07 Johnny Chapman 18 Laps
#38 Mike Garvey 4 Laps

I'm only including people who start and parked reguarly and dropped out before 25% distance. I.E the worst offenders.

Anyway here is the Cup list:
#46 Dusty Whitney Chevrolet
At Daytona with J.J Yeley driving it dropped out on lap 10 with engine issues. Dropped out in every other event also before 25% distance except at Talledega where Bill Elliot was driving.
#60 Germain Racing Toyota
DNQ'd at Daytona with Todd Bodine. Made it to 25% distance exactly at Fontana. Start and parked races 2-4 with Cassill driving. Start and parked races 6-7 and 9 with Skinner driving. Didn't even qualify at Talladega.
#66 Phil Parsons Toyota
Start and parked races 2-5 and 7. DNQ'd at race 1 and 8. Only just made it past 25% distance at Richmond.
#87 Joe Nemecheck Chevrolet
Crashed at Daytona. Dropped out everywhere else before 25% distance.

Rumors have ranged from multiple sclerosis to Lyme's disease, but nothing has been made official as far as a named illness is concerned.

Meanwhile, Bruton Smith's gigantic waste of money is finally complete:

Better yet, show Days of Thunder.

Or even better yet, Stroker Ace.

I saw it clear from the road outside turns 1 and 2. Bet you could just setup shop there and watch without paying lol

Done watching Nationwide for the forseeable future. Such a shame that money dominates all in NASCAR

I gave away all my effort to watch Nationwide races since a few races in the beginning of the year. Fuck that series (or NASCAR as a whole).

I don't get it. What changed within the past 7 years to take the Busch series from the best racing week in week out to the absolute wash it is now? Why can't NASCAR simply come out and say, "we dont care about sponsors, cup guys run 5 races max per year"?

To be fair, JJ Yeley's DNF at Daytona was legit. The engine erupted with a big plume of smoke which brought out a caution.

It's no secret that I hate starting and parking with a passion. The fans paid to see 43 cars race and not to see cars trying to get to the garage area first.

Jeffrey Earnhardt must be coming down with some form of "Brett Favre Syndrome".

Fired by Rick Ware Racing from his truck ride, somehow kiss & make up in a day, rehired, wrecks at Martinsville, fired again, and now he's been rehired by Ware to drive (or park) their Nationwide #41 car at Charlotte.
