RT @BSargentOKC @SummerDreyer Jeff Burton, Jeff Gordon, Bobby Labonte, Mark Martin --- good stuff, nailed them #NASCAR

Only four drivers have competed in all 17 NSCS race at Texas Motor Speedway... any guesses who they are? #NASCAR

And the seat of the No. 1 Phoenix Racing car in Nwide next year goes to....James Buescher. Sorry @landoncassill fans. #nascar

RT - @NASCARHomeTrack awards will be Nov. 13-14 @ Concord (N.C.) Convention Center. Fans can watch live on www.nascarhometracks.com #NASCAR

@SunnyD56 Sports Illustrated decided to write about JJ, not other drivers. Do people complain when they dont write abt all 32 football tms?

@silverdsl people have some unfounded belief that he was handed everything and hasnt earned anything on his own

RT @BlackJacknPepsi: isn't it illegal to open someone else's mail? -- Uh oh. First I got in trouble w/Twitter police...now the mail police?

@Whit17_6 thats what he grew up on - dirt bikes

@WNY24 because he is polite, humble and well-spoken?

"How could people see him as vanilla? He grew up in a trailer park, drove trucks and hot rods and buggies" S.I. article on JJ #NASCAR

There is a great story on Jimmie Johnson in this week's SI... highly recommended reading (excerpt in next tweet...) #NASCAR

Just opened an envelope from a #NASCAR track with my credentials...it was addressed to "Joe Gluck."

RT @mw55: I chipped a tooth on shell fish once -- Michael, it's supposed to be peel, THEN eat!

#Nascar Danica is a temporary gimmick fix. I wish her luck, but I don't think she's qualified. Yet.

#Nascar That means letting drivers use their talent to race. Whither it's bump n run, drafting or pushing. That will bring back fans.

#Nascar Ryan didnt walk away from Dega crash because of rule changes, but because of car innovation and safety. Fans want competition racing

Did you see where Ryan Newman says he actually chipped some teeth in the 'Dega wreck? ---> http://bit.ly/1052if #NASCAR

@ronfrankl How about putting the real competition of racing and driver talent back into the races? Bump n Run made this sport. #Danica

@SkirtsandScuffs I don't think you can use property on an unauthorized site. Just guessing, it would be a violation of copyrights. #nascar

@ronfrankl Im an old lady. I'd love to see a woman in #NASCAR. I'd prefer it be someone who earned it. Let her win a few more indy races 1st

RT @ronfrankl: @SpringWolf Danica - make a lot of $ for everyone, at least in short run.#NASCAR I'll give credit to JRM for showmanship.

RT @KSUpurple: Everybody loves a winner....so the saying goes.....but have you ever met a Jimmie Johnson fan? #nascar -- Not on purpose.

RT @ronfrankl: ..if #Danica fails...IF? Even Montoya says #Nascar is a lot tougher than Indy. Danica has won 1 race in her Indy car career.

LOL...funniest #NASCAR guy on Twitter. RT @Canadian_Speed: If @ACSUpdates offers an "All the Clean Air You Can Breathe" Package I'm in!

RT @BettyNguyenCNN: Thanks everyone! I'm trying not to talk - but the phone keeps ringing. -- Betty...go home and rest.

#Nascar Danica askng $300k per NNS race - Ridiculous!. The average cup driver makes $50k per race for 37 races. http://bit.ly/6zyS8z

RT @jim_utter: Danica may do some #NASCAR Nationwide races next season. -- Yuck..she is SO over rated. She needs to stay in Indy.

RT @andersoncooper: Palin gives details on book tour http://bit.ly/1n4le4 -- Isn't her 15 minutes up yet?

@MartySmithESPN Is decling interest in #Nascar a result of the economy? Or changng rules that are limiting historical Bump'nRun competition?

@BettyNguyenCNN My Grandmas remedy - 1 shot of Tennessee Whiskey with a tea spoon of warm honey.

Among other things, they're offering a Cup race ticket for $35 plus anchovies, cupcakes or pastrami thru various promotions. Really! #NASCAR

Gotten really interesting press releases from @ACSUpdates recently. They're trying everything they can to sell tix, that's for sure! #NASCAR

Everyone wants to #BlameDiddy (No. 1 trending topic on Twitter). Maybe #NASCAR fans can blame him too now that #BlameStremme is out.

RT @DISupdates: Two-Day #Goodyear Tire Test For The 2010 #Daytona500 Wraps Up http://bit.ly/3fXpWH #NASCAR

There are some people who would stand in a burning building and tell you it's not on fire instead of trying to fix the problem.

For those fans who criticize the Chase: Did you know Jimmie is now leading the "old" point standings too (by 7 over Tony)? #NASCAR

The best thing about #nascar fans is you all can't be BS'd. You have your opinions and know what you see. Take that however you want.

Post-race engine inspection from the AMP Energy 500 #NASCAR Sprint Cup event Nov. 1 at Talladega Superspeedway is concluded & all is clear.

#NASCAR Johnson: Chad's decision to pit for fuel at Talladega put us in position to have a good finish.

#NASCAR Johnson: 2008, comeback in a different way because at the start of the season we were out to lunch.

#NASCAR Johnson: 2007. Managing two cars because the cars were so different. That was something I was impressed with.

#NASCAR Johnson: 2006 was stressful. I think about getting the monkey off our backs. And I think comeback because we were so far down in pts

#NASCAR Johnson: We're showing up to win races. Finishing 10th isn't as easy as it sounds. It's a tough field and we need to be on our game

#NASCAR Johnson: Treating these races like any other races. It sounds corny, but it's the truth. We need to do more of the same.

#NASCAR Johnson: I had manufacturer support and they were looking for it. We went from off-road to ASA to Nationwide, developing me

#NASCAR Johnson: The Herzogs are largely responsible for where I am today. Off-road truck racing went under with start of @NASCAR_Trucks.

#NASCAR Johnson: Rick (Hendrick) is a big part of keeping our chemistry alive.

#NASCAR Johnson on Knaus: The face that we're so different really helps. If we had similar personalities, we really would kill each other.

#NASCAR J. Johnson: I didn't think (winning four consecutive titles) was possible. I've only been in a stock car for 10-11 years.

#NASCAR Jimmie Johnson: for me it's a great track, but it's also a great track for for Jeff (Gordon) and Mark (Martin) won there in spring

#NASCAR Jimmie Johnson: The best track remaining for us would be (Phoenix). In our opinion, we had the strongest car (in the spring)

#NASCAR Jimmie Johnson: It's an exciting time. There's still a lot of racing left. Things could go wrong. I'm trying to keep my head down.

I have laundry to do. Have a good day all.

@tenzanojiron people who throw cans aren't fans. they're drunk idiots.

@nascarinsider Best - Jamie won; nice to see that. Worst rule changes to end driver competition and make for a boring race. #nascar

@hogfan1980 Biffle is a mediocre driver. He's in the chase because he has a good crew and equipment. If Jammie was w/ that team would he win

@jeff_gluck Here's my problem. Bumpin' is racin'. Take it out of the competition and you kill the competition all together.

@jeff_gluck #NASCAR needs to focus on safety of cars & drivers; but stop there. Rule changes like yesterday for safety will kill the sport

#NASCAR Fan Council has 12K members that give feedback on sport. It has helped spawn double file restarts and earlier/consistent tv times

#Nascar Shock collars for drivers - It's probably kill Kyle Busch. @mw55 @dennyhamlin

#NASCAR rec'd 2 awards for the NASCAR Fan Council: Forrester Groundswell Award for Business-Consumer Listening + Vision Critical Panel of Yr

@jeff_gluck I really like McMurray. Maybe he would have more success if he had better equipment or more mentoring? #NASCAR

@tenzanojiron yes they do. makng cars safer everyone expects. makng the race safe w/ rules takes away competition. And THATs what fans want

@dennyhamlin: RT @mw55: How bout shock collars? some ones aggressive zap em. - Problem is, someone might like it & get more aggresve #Nascar

@tenzanojiron I think its close to the melting point. It's a dangerous sport. It'll never be totaly safe. Rule changs are killing it #NASCAR

Raise your hand if you thought McMurray would have more wins this yr (1) than Roush teammates Edwards, Biffle and Ragan (0) combined #NASCAR

We want to see the big 3- and 4-wide packs we're used to at 'Dega, followed by a great side-by-side finish. How does #NASCAR get that back?

RT @88angel: That would make the race boring as crap if they can't bump and pass -- Hmm. So what are the solutions? What can #NASCAR do?

This might work -- RT @mw55: take all the bracing and bumpers out of the front. U bump someone you break your nose. people would think twice

@DaveTheStalker Thank you for the clarification.

@OfficeDepot14TS We've double-checked the records and 75 is correct. Thanks.

@eungervt In light of the postrace inspection following Dover, we felt they should continue to be on the same page as NASCAR.

@eungervt NASCAR takes random cars back to the R&D to check each week.

@OfficeDepot14TS It was 74, not 75, in 1984. And 28 in this race last season.

@NextTimeBy The records are 28 leaders and 74 lead changes

#NASCAR Post-race inspection at the track is done and all is clear. The 26, 9, 83 engines plus the 26, 83, 48 cars are going back to R&D

@cher9 Thanks for your feedback. Yes.

#NASCAR The 25 different leaders is tied for fourth most all time. The 58 lead changes is tied for 11th most.

#Nascar Ok time to go snuggle on the couch with the husband dude and watch football. Night all. see you next week. Go Tony & Ryan.

@WNY24 I didn't say this was the only bad change. ;-) But things do change.

#Nascar Hey Robin Pemberton - it doesn't matter what you think. Fans support the sport. It matters what we think. Or don't you get that?

#Nascar I'm old enough to remember when Nascar was true stock car. Drivers drove their race cars home. Things change. This was a bad change.

#Nascar Makes me thing that the loudest complainers are people who don't really understand Nascar or it's history. New fair weather fans.

#NASCAR There were 58 lead changes among 25 leaders in Sunday's Amp Energy 500 at Talladega Superspeedway

@bobpockrass Most 500 mile races aren't restrictor place races either. #NASCAR #nascar #sprintracing

RT @SummerDreyer: @SpringWolf Actually they can write #NASCAR right here on Twitter. - Twitter is emotional; email has more effect.

#Nascar Drivers may or maynot be able to make a difference. But I bet you fans can and will. Write them.

#NASCAR Watch the winner's news conference with Jamie McMurray, Donnie Wingo and Jack Roush: http://bit.ly/6J

#Nascar If you are SO upset about the rules change - why are you telling Twitter? Do something about and write to Nascar and complain.

@AngelaMarie26 We bring in the NASCAR Sprint Cup points leader if he isn't in the top 3.

@SummerDreyer @jeff_gluck I hated the fair weather fan whining much more than the race. Makes me wonder if those people really know racing?

@KellyBires I'm at the game and your Packers peeps are not too thrilled at halftime.

@jeff_gluck I must be too old school. I like racing; even when others say it's boring; I'm enjoying it. But I don't like all the new rules.

#Nascar Ryan's Dad is his spotter. Can you imagine Dad seeing that and trying to find out if his son is OK? - Wow.

@MartySmithESPN ..Newman..NASCAR must not think much of drivers these days with these rules. #Nascar - Or it's fans!

RT @ricksanchezcnn: they want more protection for private sector?..don't you have to be brain dead to support that? or blind? -- or a crook

#Nascar Sadly I don't think the opinions of the drivers is going to matter to the bean counters who make the rules.

@dmh9fan ... yup ... hands down #nascar

Followed the race on Twitter. You all sound extremely pissed at the entire race and the ending. Guess I'll have to see why later. #nascar

Jeff just had an uncharacteristic funny, "I'm glad we ran out of gas when we did so we could get out there just in time to destroy our car"

still no official results ... we'll hold on until we see something from #nascar

#NASCAR It's Jamie McMurray's third career win. 2nd place is Kasey Kahne and 3rd place is Joey Logano.

Quote of the day from Ryan Newman ... "I guess they (NASCAR) doesn't respect us any more" #nascar

#Nascar Back under caution. We still have our Dale Jr and Joey in the race. And it would be good to see McMurray win too. But GO Dale Jr.

lots of cars pitted with one to go to make sure they had enough fuel #nascar

coming back to green ... 24 car will lead the low-line ... 09 the high #nascar
