Feel sorry for Suarez though. Furniture Row's accomplishment that will be looked at like Kulwicki's by future NASCAR historians (if the sport has a future but that's another post). I know they got a lot of technical support from Gibbs and TRD but you rarely see satellite teams competing for top 5s much less the championship. Racing is a tough business even when you're winning. Suarez will have a ride as long as he has Arris money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know where the extra 2 weeks came from. They had mid-week programs at short tracks with guys risking their necks for peanuts. Bobby Isaac won $1000 for winning the 1969 Pickens 200 in Greenville, SC. The purse is listed down to 10th place (Ervin Pruitt finished 19 laps down and received $260). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it was a nuts schedule - but I think Pearson was a lot more selective with his races than Petty was - ah here we go from Wikipedia: "he won three championships (1966, 1968, and 1969) every year he ran the full schedule in NASCAR's Grand National Series (now Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series).[1] NASCAR described his 1974 season as an indication of his "consistent greatness"; that season he finished third in the season points having competed in only 19 of 30 races.[" 105 wins in 574 stars. 366 top tens. For comparison's sake - Petty had 200 wins (yeah it was really 199 - that firecracker win he had like a Jet Engine in the car (slight exaggeration)) in 1072 races (for these purposes I lopped off the last 4 years of Petty's career where he didn't have a single top-5 finish. If you include those he ran 1184 races. I mean in 1973 he entered only 18 of the 28 races...and won 11 of them! (He finished 13th in points). Petty was next with 6 wins (he ran all 28 races)...and finished 5th in points. Benny Parsons won the title with 1 win (and only leading 374 laps all year) - anyway when people complain about the current NASCAR championship and want to go back to "The Good Old Days" this is exhibit A in why they are all wet. (exhibit B is the fact that many years were runaways and even in the competitive years all but like 4 cars were out of it for the championship by the last third of the season). Ultimately an underrated legend IMO. -QG 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They never ran a full season together, but when they did race, they frequently did quite well. From 1972 through the first part of the 1979 season, until they split due to an argument, they ran 143 races together and won 43 of them (30%).

Eephus Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) I had fun watching Kyle Larson this year, even though the points weren't there. Hamlin had a very similar season but wasn't half as much fun at the #42. William Byron had a totally forgettable rookie year. He finished 23rd in points, in between the JTG entries. The #24 ought to get more than four top 10s. The rule of the free agent slot needs to go back to the shop for some tuning.

I’m in a group on www.drivergroupgame.com Driver Group Game website It’s similar to how Yahoo ran their fantasy NASCAR. 3 pools of drivers, start 1 A, 2 B and 1 C driver each week with a max of 7 starts per driver. You earn points based on the drivers performance, including stagepoints. I believe it’s free. We could have more than 10 teams since we wouldn’t be drafting drivers.
