Len and Eddie Wood may be looking at signing Canadian Patrick Carpentier as their Cup driver next year. Carpentier is apparently out at Ray Evernham's, and he's looking for a new ride. "I haven't talked to anyone and I don't plan on talking to anyone until I get my cars working better," Eddie Wood insisted. "But I do like Patrick."

Nice dude....I hpe he does well in the ride. The only open-wheeler I can get behind....he is a great interview and much like Boris said, he is in it just to race.

Yeah, I like Carpentier too. I think Bristol is the only time he didn't qualify when they have actually had qualifying. But it's unlikely he'll have a lot of success at the Wood's. Who has lately?

True rick, but at least it is a step up. If he can perform there he can get another step up the ladder on his next contract right? He should nab the 3rd slot in Red Bull racing.

Now tell me, are you Night Prowler or Float?

September 6, 2008  11:43 AM ET

Jay or Float what is the matter with you ?
Now you have 2 new ones ?
You had to grow up talking to Ken dolls
whew .

Flat, I am me. I call float "fake" because that is exactly what he is. I will never let him live down his dishonest behavior until he appologizes unconditionaly. He reworded and posted Private messages and flatout made some up too. Dude has some serious problems, and thats not saying I don't but he has gotten over on all of the folks here and I know it. Problem is he painted me out to be the bad guy before I could out him. My profile is open to show i am genuine...his is open to lure people in and evetually roll them over too.

September 6, 2008  12:23 PM ET

Yes, and that's why you were posting last night copying his avatar and profile.
As I said before, knock it off and grow up.

September 6, 2008  12:48 PM ET

EXACTLY, I told you he is my object of attention until he admits to all the people he has duped how he is the one that started the crap then pinned it on me. Like I said, think of me what you will, it matters not. I hold no grudge against you Flat.

...and even if he continues to be a jerk I will NEVER post private messages and stoop to his level. That is just low.

PC is a decent guy and runs fairly well...he qualified his team for a good stretch of races when they weren't in the top 35 this year. Always good to see different drivers making the headlines.

Today's beauty is Ms Tiffany Fallon...enjoy

Hey, where did you get that picture Scott....I just took it this morning!!!

September 6, 2008  02:01 PM ET

Patrick Carpentier got a pole this year and was guaranteed a spot at the pole shootout.
unfortunately for him NASCAR changed the rules and now he does not have this spot. this and the fact that he is out of the top 35 probably led to the decision by Ray Evernham to let him go.
too bad, I liked the little canadian.

September 6, 2008  02:11 PM ET

No doubt Shaver...you really can't dislike him. He is a GREAT interview and just happy to be racing.

September 6, 2008  05:55 PM ET

Everham is always to busy with me Eric "betty" crocker to worry about his cup teams.. NO wonder no one says with him team very long

What happened to Ambrose getting that ride?

September 7, 2008  09:44 AM ET

Ambrose isn't worth the chance Red Zone....he proved that in the few races he ran this season. Carpentier isn't that much better, but at least he has more experience at the top level. Ambrose is a name only because he is a Kiwi. If he wasn't he wouldn't be a spot on the radar.

The Woods brothers need a quality driver. PC might be good. Ol Million $ Bill is done. I havent seen him do anything with the car other than get it into the race (which I know is the point..but come on..be competitive for crying out loud..you're a past champion!!) Heck..try "Jaws' for a race or 2...he isn't working the booth until the beginning of the year!
