Carmichael moving up NASCAR ranks

He will certainly be as good or better than Danica. It must be quite a difference to cars from motorcycles. At least he's been running truck races for a few years unlike the girl wonder.

Give me a break. he has not shown anything to me, its a change of ownership that moved him up.Turner sold, right? I think there is this thing called "the chase" or something like that going on? not sure, its never mentioned HERE. What drivel.

you want to watch an up and comer? Watch the #7 this weekend. NO DANICA! and the car ran at the top of the practice charts. Anxious to see what Josh Wise does today. His year to date stats aren't great, but better than the other much-ballyhood driver in the #7

His ascent was slowed. Remember when Mark Martin agreed to drive the 01 car for Ginn Racing and mentor the young Carmichael? That never really worked out as I believe Ginn backed out on several deals and wasn't the person everyone thought he was.

I am so hung over this morning I actually think I see a new post on the T&R racing page. I have to stop drinking that cheap lighter fluid.

Didn;t mark also think Logano was sliced bread?

only one answer to the problem Rick, keep the buzz going and come down slowly. You do not see a new article here, it is merely a bunch of words somebody at T&R posted.

The talent pool in the Nationwide series ain't what it use to be.. hope the guys in the Cup series stay around awhile cause there really ain't any talent coming up to replace them

Wise had a decent finish , Carmichael wasn't that far behind him though.

Stokley would be proud

Looks like we have peace in the valley.

I don't know what carmichael will amount to, but hes already way better than danica. But really who isn't? lol It cracks me up when people say danica can drive a racecar good. please

So true, I think a few folks are realizing that now.

LOL @ Rickapolis...you always have the perfect wisecrack.

Maybe Carmichael will surprise us all....and Lord knows we need some surprises in racing LOL

Carmichael was a beast on bikes.....he's got the instinct...see if it can translate into NASCAR wins........

That is my feelings as well. JJ came from motocross. There are other motocross racers that have moved to 4 wheels that have done pretty good as well. Ricky Johnson in off road, Jeff ward in open wheel. Without change, gaining new caliber drivers for the series will only be known if when the popularity of nascar returns.

I thought Johnson was offroad..but 4wheels, not 2? I used to run with Bob 'Hurricane' Hannah..(Ok...ONCE..but it was SOOo cool). Still probably the best rider I've ever seen. Larry Rosseler too...He's running 4wheel Desert/Baja races now. Used to run with him out in the Mojave.....good times. Been around all sorts of racing..raced Desert Cross Country Motorcycles, pit crew'd a Blown Alcohol Hydro boat, hung out with Larry Dixon when he was with Prudohmme in Top Fuel. Only attend NASCAR..but it would have been a blast to be involved more...closest I get is bracket racing at Pomona when track was still available...fun, but grassroots. Guess I feel the need for speed :)
