Dale Earnhardt told his son, after winning a Busch race that if he damaged
the motor doing a celebration burnout, he'd have to pay for the motor.
Didn't you understand my post?

They are going to rebuild it but if the part was damaged and maybe
about to fail, the team would have no way of knowing of whether or not
it was about to fail on track and cost them a race later, or if it was
done during the abuse of the post race burn outs. If you want burn
outs, go to the drag races. They never have had a place in Nascar.
Old schoolers don't do burn outs. Jeff Burton is old school.

Track time is also valuable R+D time.

But...
New schoolers are what's racin'.
And new schoolers are what's spendin'.
Old farts like us die off, and take our thoughts with us.
Life, and sport, is nothing but a cycle.
Few things remain unchanged.
The only thing that remains the same,
is the opinion of older people that
'things ain't what they used to be'..
My grandfather said it,
my dad said it,
and I tell it to my boys...
that's life.
and death.

probably Junior would all be willing to pay for a motor after a
burnout.

That may be true, but the "burn out" can't serve any useful purpose, and may affect any part of that winning car they want to salvage. Besides it's childish and shows a very immature attitude to want to trash what brought you there. |

the years they won the cup so I guess that doesn't matter too much.

Besides it's childish and shows a very immature attitude to want to trash what brought you there. Throwing beer, soda, champagne, etc. all over each other in Victory Lane serves no useful purpose either. They're all just ways of celebrating a victory. Not everything has to serve a useful purpose. Sure - there is a small risk of blowing a tire and damaging some sheet metal, but these teams don't seem to care too much about that, so why should the fans get so up in arms about it? Do you really think they "want to trash" anything? Of course not. Some folks like burnouts, and some don't. Isn't it possible to simply not like them, without coming up with reasons why it is such a bad thing? After all, just what is so mature about the whole idea of racing cars? -- -Mike- mmarlowREM...

Who the hell gave you permission to insert some logic into one of
these "discussions??" LOL.

representative of most owners in that issue. So - what's it matter what he
told Junior years ago? That statement from Senior came at a time when
Junior and Senior were struggling with power between each other. It's easy
to assume that Senior was exerting his authority over Junior, rather than
talking about the risk of engine damage. But - that is just an assumption -
means nothing really. Senior was clearly not a fan of burnouts himself, so
it may have just been him insisting on his way or the highway with Junior.
