FOFC Nextel Cup Season 12

cmp · 02-29-2004, 01:57 PM

Daytona, FL - Once again we find ourselves starting yet another season of FOFC Nextel Cup Racing. Now a year after 5-time series champion Chris Snow retired, 3-time series champion Nick Phillips has decided to call it quits and go behind the scenes at Phillips Racing. Now his son, Nick Phillips Jr., will try to make a name for himself in the series. Phillips Jr. will take over Kevin Anderson's former #5 car. His dad's sponsor, Mello Yello, will sponsor the 5 car for the majority of the season. Hooters, who sponsored Anderson last season, will sponsor the car for a few races during the season.

Defending series champ Jeeber D Mack will once again be driving the #22 Baja Fresh car this season. His 4 wins in Season 11 tied Nick Phillips' Season 9 Total for most wins in a season for the past 6 seasons. In his third season in the FOFC Nextel Cup Billy Bushinhimer is starting to make a name for himself. After a 26th place finish in points his rookie season, Bushinhimer finished 3rd two seasons ago and 2nd last season. Is this the year he jumps one more spot to 1st? Sterling Silvers had a big late season charge to put himself in 4th place in the final standings even with 5 DNF's on the season. Last year he never found victory lane, this year he should. 6th and 7th place finishers last season Telle Snow and Rewbie Newsday are always found running near the front of the field. Newsday picked up one victory last season but Telle surprisingly never found her way to victory lane. I wouldn't expect that drought to last much longer. Travis Elkin found victory lane twice last season an finished 8th in the final standings. A few more top-5 finishes this season should put him in the top-5 in the points. Once again John Condor quietly put himself in the Top Ten in the final points. He continues to be a very steady driver who rarely finds himself in trouble. Ren Snow didn't finish Season 11 the way he would of liked too as he fell from the Top Five to 10th late in the season. In his second season driving Chris Snow's former #40 he should fare much better.

We have another solid rookie class this season. Casey Brow will drive the #09 Red Rhino car. Of course there is Nick Phillips Jr. driving the #5 Mello Yello Chevy. Ardent Enthusiast will be driving the #28 Vodafone car. Jared Book will be driving the #56 Sonic car. And Gold Golden will drive the #81 Drakkar Chevy.

Season 12 Points Prediction

1. Billy Bushinhimer - The kid is always near the front. Two Top Three Points finishes the past two season is no fluke. This is the year he takes the title.

2. Jeeber D Mack - He will be near the front again this season. Back-to-back championships isn't the easiest thing to accomplish though. Jeeber D will certainly try to accomplish the feat.

3. Ren Snow - Ren always has one of the top cars on the circuit. This season he will battle the entire year for the title. There will be no late season collapse this year.

4. Travis Elkin - Last season Elkin picked up two wins. This year if he can find his way to victory lane a few times again and pick up the Top Five finishes he will be a championship factor.

5. Rewbie Newsday - Newsday didn't quite live up to the preseason championship hype but he still had a very good season. 1 Pole, 1 Win and 6 Top Five finishes is a great season for anyone.

6. Telle Snow - Somehow Telle never managed to find herself in victory lane last season. And she only picked up 7 Top Ten finishes. Those number should improve this year.

7. Sterling Silvers - Can Silvers keep the momentum for last seasons late season charge? We'll find out very soon. If Sterling can get out of the gate quick he'll be a factor.

8. Mustafa Henderson - In his rookie season Mustafa finished 2nd in the Season Standings. He has never duplicated the success of that season yet. Maybe this season he'll be on the top at the end of the year.

9. Mike Tokunaga - Season 11 isn't one Mike Tokunaga wants to remember. He finished a disapointing 17th in the final standings. Well, thats not as bad as the 42nd place finish he was used to early on in his career, but his standards are much higher now. Tokunaga should bounce back.

10. John Condor - Condor is one of the best at avoiding trouble. That's why he always finds himself in the top ten in the final standings. This year should be no different.

Coming out of the final turn, It's Craptacular was desperately trying to make a move to pass Sonny Daze. But Daze was able to hold him off and take the victory in the Budweiser Shootout. He also won the event last season.

Here are the Daytona 500 predictions from our esteemed panel of racing
experts.

- MICHAEL PERSINGER - CHARLOTTE OBSERVER

Sonny Daze - Daze is always one of the top drivers at the superspeedways. His win in the Bud Shootout should help propel him to a victory in the race that actually counts, the 500.

- TIGER WOODS - PRO GOLFER

Maximus Meridus - Maximus has won the last two Daytona 500's. Somehow he always finds himself near the front at the end of this race and should do so again tonight.

- LEBRON JAMES - PRO BASKETBALL PLAYER

Rob Neilsen - In last year's 500 Neilsen had one of the strongest cars. But a late race crash ruined any chance he had at victory. This year he will find himself in victory lane.

- RUPEN FOFARIA - RPM.ESPN.COM

It's Craptacular - Craptacular is another driver who always seems to have a solid car at superspeedways. He ran well in the Bud Shootout and his car for the 500 should be just as good.

- GEORGE W. BUSH - PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

Telle Snow - Telle Snow will end her winless drought with a win in the Nextel Cup's biggest race.

cmp · 02-29-2004, 04:39 PM

Sonny Daze backed up his terrific performance in the Bud Shootout by picking up the pole for the Daytona 500. Travis Elkin will start 2nd. Daze's teammate Al Kaholic will start on the inside of the 2nd row. The highest starting rookie is Casey Brow in 15th.

Sonny Daze's weekend of dominance continued in the Daytona 500. After starting on the pole and winning the Budweiser Shootout, he picked up the pole for the Daytona 500. He then made sure no one had any doubt who the best driver at Daytona this weekend was by leading 26 laps to win the Daytona 500. David Gonzalez led more laps, 33, but finished 3rd.

Daze put himself in the perfect position starting the final lap. He was third right behind Gonzalez and Rewbie Bluesday. Heading into the 3rd turn he made his move to the inside and with the help of lapped car Mike Ritschel he blew by Gonzalez to take the win. Rookie Ardent Enthusiast ended up 2nd. Gonzalez was 3rd, Bluesday 4th and Jeeber D Mack was 5th.

Other than Ardent, the rookies didn't fare too well. Jared Book came home in 21st. Casey Brow was 24th. Gold Golden finished in 26th. And Nick Phillips Jr. ended a disappointing weekend with a 31st place finish after starting dead last.

114 lead changes took place throughout the race, a typically number for an FOFC Daytona race. But unlike other races at Daytona the number of drivers leading the laps wasn't in 30's. 21 drivers took turns leading the race. 1 caution flag flew during the race. It was for a spin involving Mike Ritschel with about 25 laps remaining.

love the way the standings look..... good work

msuballa · 02-29-2004, 05:22 PM

Not a good start at all for Phillips Racing, but I dont remember ever running real well at Daytona anyway..

sterlingice · 02-29-2004, 05:34 PM

Love how the new standings look! Didn't start with a bang, but a pair of teen finishes so not too bad. I'm worried about how the new cars will do.

SI

Sublime · 02-29-2004, 05:42 PM

And the 2 Race win streak at Daytona comes to an end for Maximus Meridius.

JeeberD · 02-29-2004, 06:19 PM

After starting in the #33 slot, I'm pretty happy with my fifth place finish...

JeffNights · 02-29-2004, 07:42 PM

Off to a good start on Hudson's battle for last place.

Booj · 02-29-2004, 08:34 PM

Not a bad first start... the car was great in Testing... kind of upset with Qualifying and the Race but finishing 21st isn't anything to complain about. A good foundation for the season.

JAG · 02-29-2004, 08:40 PM

Good job with the new table format, much easier to read.

Alas, similar type results from last year...

kingfc22 · 02-29-2004, 08:43 PM

Last season's Rookie of the Year, David Gonzalez, came to Daytona with high hopes for his second season on the circuit. However, during testing it seemed like the crew and driver just could not get it together. Gonzalez qualified 30th for the Super Bowl of racing. Once race day came around, something clicked and Gonzalez had it working. He led the most laps, but could not get around a lapped car on the final turns and was passed before he could take the checkered flag. This second year driver is looking to make this the year he puts himself on the map and he wants to prove the critics wrong for predicting him to finish 21st in the series.

kingfc22 · 02-29-2004, 08:44 PM

Love the new standings and how was there no big crash?

tucker342 · 02-29-2004, 08:45 PM

YAY! What a start for Tucker racing!

Top Ten finish here I come

Blade · 02-29-2004, 10:05 PM

Doh...not a great start to the season...

Travis · 02-29-2004, 10:18 PM

Wow, start 2nd, finish 39th? Uh guys, we need to relay the message that the races last more than 5 laps, somebody get that memo to all concerned parties ASAP, thanks.

Sheesh.

General Mike · 03-01-2004, 01:36 AM

I suck at Daytona

Breeze · 03-01-2004, 05:37 AM

Quick - someone take a snap shot of the standings. I want to save it to show my kids someday.

Peshtigo, WI - In a surprising announcement, veteran racer Rewbie Newsday announced this will be his last season. The veteran racer, who has participated in the league since its inception, has decided to make one last run at the title.

Newsday has twice finished the season second in points, and has been in the top 10 several times. His accomplishments may stand second to only the great team of Snow racing sports.

Nonetheless, Newsday will be making his final farewell tour.

Teammate Rewbie Bluesday was asked about it, and his response was cryptic: "The captain will be retiring. As for the first mate, I will sail on." Does this mean he will continue? Or he too will finish? We shall see.

SirFozzie · 03-01-2004, 04:56 PM

Ooo.. Outside Row 1.. this could be a good un!

cmp · 03-01-2004, 04:57 PM

The 5 caution flags during the race took out many cars who were running near the front. It's Craptacular, Ren Snow, Jeeber D Mack, David Yellope, Mustafa Henderson, David Gonzalez, and Billy Bushinhimer all had Top 15 finishes ruined by crashes. Tom Glaser, started from the pole and led 136 laps, but when a caution flag flew after he pitted and before a few others did he was put a lap down. Daniel Schoonover took advantage to lead 86 laps and take the victory. Rookie Nick Phillips Jr. came in second.

Not a bad race at all... A top-20 start after starting in 25th.. plus I gained 12 points on Ardent for ROY... Not a bad start to the season for me.

JAG · 03-01-2004, 05:07 PM

Wow, what a race. Qualifying first overall was good to see. A damn shame I had to lose after leading so many laps, but I will be very content with a fine 8th place finish.

I love this new look more and more. Nice job with it! My racers, despite having very different personalities (but very similar cars) are very very close.

And the slide for Sonny Daze begins. There is NO truth to "Sunny Days are here again."

Highest standing in the points ever! Yahoo!

Congrats on your first place (for now) Breeze.

Nothing like a good ol crash to send you plummeting down the standings.

This season is not looking good already!

Breeze - rushes into the medical facility, "Hey Doc, I need some help. I think I'm seeing things."

Doc -"That's not good when your a driver. Tell me, is it spots?"

Breeze, "Naw."

Doc - "Animals?"

Breeze, "Well I did see a bird on the way in here, but no."

Doc - "Naked women?"

Breeze looking around frantically, "Where?"

Doc - "Son,what is it your seeing?"

Breeze, "Type."

Doc, "Type?"

Breeze - showing the doctor the standings, "Yeah look, my name it at the top, I must be seeing things."

Doc, scratching his head, "I guess it could be a typo"

Just then Nextel Commisioner Gold walks in

Gold, "I overheard your conversation, it's not a typo."
"Breeze you've done well in both races so far right?"

Breeze, "Yup, two top 10s."

Gold, "Well that's all it takes to be number 1 after just 2 races."

Breeze, "Oh...ok. So what your saying is there is plenty of time for me to screw up."

Gold, shaking his head, 'Yes son, you can still screw it all up, don't worry."

cmp Pro Rookie Join Date: Mar 2001 Location: Grand Rapids, MI	Here are the Daytona 500 predictions from our esteemed panel of racing experts. - MICHAEL PERSINGER - CHARLOTTE OBSERVER Sonny Daze - Daze is always one of the top drivers at the superspeedways. His win in the Bud Shootout should help propel him to a victory in the race that actually counts, the 500. - TIGER WOODS - PRO GOLFER Maximus Meridus - Maximus has won the last two Daytona 500's. Somehow he always finds himself near the front at the end of this race and should do so again tonight. - LEBRON JAMES - PRO BASKETBALL PLAYER Rob Neilsen - In last year's 500 Neilsen had one of the strongest cars. But a late race crash ruined any chance he had at victory. This year he will find himself in victory lane. - RUPEN FOFARIA - RPM.ESPN.COM It's Craptacular - Craptacular is another driver who always seems to have a solid car at superspeedways. He ran well in the Bud Shootout and his car for the 500 should be just as good. - GEORGE W. BUSH - PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES Telle Snow - Telle Snow will end her winless drought with a win in the Nextel Cup's biggest race. Last edited by cmp : 02-29-2004 at 03:35 PM.

cmp Pro Rookie Join Date: Mar 2001 Location: Grand Rapids, MI	Sonny Daze's weekend of dominance continued in the Daytona 500. After starting on the pole and winning the Budweiser Shootout, he picked up the pole for the Daytona 500. He then made sure no one had any doubt who the best driver at Daytona this weekend was by leading 26 laps to win the Daytona 500. David Gonzalez led more laps, 33, but finished 3rd. Daze put himself in the perfect position starting the final lap. He was third right behind Gonzalez and Rewbie Bluesday. Heading into the 3rd turn he made his move to the inside and with the help of lapped car Mike Ritschel he blew by Gonzalez to take the win. Rookie Ardent Enthusiast ended up 2nd. Gonzalez was 3rd, Bluesday 4th and Jeeber D Mack was 5th. Other than Ardent, the rookies didn't fare too well. Jared Book came home in 21st. Casey Brow was 24th. Gold Golden finished in 26th. And Nick Phillips Jr. ended a disappointing weekend with a 31st place finish after starting dead last. 114 lead changes took place throughout the race, a typically number for an FOFC Daytona race. But unlike other races at Daytona the number of drivers leading the laps wasn't in 30's. 21 drivers took turns leading the race. 1 caution flag flew during the race. It was for a spin involving Mike Ritschel with about 25 laps remaining.

I'm worried about how the new cars will do. SI __________________ Houston Hippopotami, III.3: 20th Anniversary Thread - All former HT players are encouraged to check it out!

kingfc22 Head Coach Join Date: Nov 2003 Location: Morgan Hill, CA	Last season's Rookie of the Year, David Gonzalez, came to Daytona with high hopes for his second season on the circuit. However, during testing it seemed like the crew and driver just could not get it together. Gonzalez qualified 30th for the Super Bowl of racing. Once race day came around, something clicked and Gonzalez had it working. He led the most laps, but could not get around a lapped car on the final turns and was passed before he could take the checkered flag. This second year driver is looking to make this the year he puts himself on the map and he wants to prove the critics wrong for predicting him to finish 21st in the series. __________________ Fan of SF Giants, 49ers, Sharks, Arsenal

revrew Team Chaplain Join Date: Jun 2001 Location: Just outside Des Moines, IA	Peshtigo, WI - In a surprising announcement, veteran racer Rewbie Newsday announced this will be his last season. The veteran racer, who has participated in the league since its inception, has decided to make one last run at the title. Newsday has twice finished the season second in points, and has been in the top 10 several times. His accomplishments may stand second to only the great team of Snow racing sports. Nonetheless, Newsday will be making his final farewell tour. Teammate Rewbie Bluesday was asked about it, and his response was cryptic: "The captain will be retiring. As for the first mate, I will sail on." Does this mean he will continue? Or he too will finish? We shall see. __________________ Winner of 6 FOFC Scribe Awards, including 3 Gold Scribes Founder of the ZFL, 2004 Golden Scribe Dynasty of the Year Now bringing The Des Moines Dragons back to life, and the joke's on YOU, NFL!

It's Craptacular, Ren Snow, Jeeber D Mack, David Yellope, Mustafa Henderson, David Gonzalez, and Billy Bushinhimer all had Top 15 finishes ruined by crashes. Tom Glaser, started from the pole and led 136 laps, but when a caution flag flew after he pitted and before a few others did he was put a lap down. Daniel Schoonover took advantage to lead 86 laps and take the victory. Rookie Nick Phillips Jr. came in second.
