From Tues
March 18. Lewis
Hamilton of the McLaren-Mercedes team wins the Australian Formula 1 Grand
Prix! The Australian Formula 1 race was fantastic viewing!
What a great race it was on Sunday afternoon
Australian time, Saturday night North American time. This was one of the
most enjoyable Formula 1 races I have ever watched. The race and also a
pre race show was shown here in Canada on TSN. Some Formula 1 races can
be relatively unexciting after about the 1/2 half mark but I thoroughly
enjoyed the whole race that was held in hot 37+ degree weather in
Melbourne Australia. Aussie Mark Webber was on of several drivers that
were out on the 1st corner of the race. The new rules and car
modifications so that the driver has full control of the car I think is
excellent. It is rumored that
Australia
may loose the race due to bad viewing times for the massive European audience. This
weekend race 2 of the season is in Malaysia.

On the Speed channel last week Tony Stewart who feels he is being singled out
for 'special' penalties intimated he MAY just retire after this season. Calling
Jeff (pretty-boy) Gordan the P. Manning of NASCAR, Stewart has said he is being
persecuted in crucial stints of the races he feels are within his reach to win.
Several years ago, Stewart, long one of the sports 'bad boys', pulled a Kenny
Rogers and went after two reporters and one camera man who he said had something
against him.
He hinted Jeff Gordon fans in the sports reporting and photo areas are targeting
him as Jeff Gordon, who just tied the late, great North Carolina racer Dale
Earnhardt, Sr. with 77 wins (Richard Petty still is the all-time NASCAR leader
with 200 wins) hadn't been doing as well until lately. Time will tell if
'Terrible Tony' continues or not. He does have some valid "points" about Media

NASCAR Track report!" Myk Aussie
From
Scotty a sports champ "Thinking
about different NASCAR Tracks, I will break them down for you:
Road
Courses (2) - Watkins Glen (NY) and Sonoma (CA)
Flat
Tracks (4)- All hard to pass - cars tend to slide on exit. - 2 categories
1 mile - Phoenix and New Hampshire [Death raceway!] are both similar.
2 - 2.5 mile - Pocono (PA) and Indianapolis are both similar. Homestead
was like those two but has since reconfigured. So similar that Bill Elliott's
3 victories with the red Dodge car were all from the same car. All three wins were
from those tracks (Pocono, Indy & Homestead).
Cookie
cutters - 1.5 -2 mile D shaped ovals. The older tracks are good because
they have been around, most are boring:
1.5
mi. - Charlotte, Atlanta, Texas, Kansas City, Chicagoland (of those, the first
two are more exciting)
2
mi. - Michigan, Fontana (CA), & Homestead (FL) - Boring, boring tracks.
Lot of green flag runs.
Restrictor
Plate tracks (2) - Daytona (FL) and Talladega (Alabama)
Short
tracks (less than a mile) - Richmond, Martinsville, Bristol (TN)
Other
tracks I can't quite pigenhole - Dover (Delaware) (1mi., heavily
banked) and Darlington (SC) (last of the old style tracks like
Rockingham and N. Wilkesboro)" Scotty

Racing debacle? & Update By: Scott Baxter!" Myk
"Michael
Schumacher won the US Grand Prix in Indianapolis...technically. It's easy to
win when 14 out of the 20 cars refuse to race. Michelin, one of two
competing tire companies in the circuit, told their respective teams that the
main banking turn, was unsafe to race on their tires. No compromised was
reached between FIA and Michelin, so the 14 teams that use Michelin tires, did
not race on Sunday.
Schumi
and the 5 other teams that raced on Sunday use Bridgestone tires, so they
participated. The race ended up being a total sham. Schumi, who's
Ferrari team has been struggling all year, was the best car in a 6 car field.
The
100,000 fans that attended the race either booed, whistled, hissed, threw bottles,
or just left after the first lap. 100,000 fans is nice, but Indy
seats 300,000, and it is filled for the Indy 500, and the Brickyard 400 (NASCAR's
race in August). F1 is struggling to get some notarity in the US, but F1's
credibility was severely damaged because of this. It could be that there
will not be a race back in Indy next year.

BUSCH MAKES IT 3 STRAIGHT AT
BRISTOL
Kurt Busch overcame an
ill-handling car, a total mistake, and a racer who had not won in almost 3
years. This victory is now his ninth overall in NASCAR, but 4 of them have
come from the tough, 1/2 mile track, including 3 straight. Busch swept both
races last year.
Busch's permanent marker Ford
suffered a tight condition all day. His car would not stay on the bottom early
on in the race. However, as the day progressed, his car became better as the
track temperature cooled off more and steadily climbed the positions until he
took over the lead at lap 382. He led the final 118 laps for the win.
The major gaffe happened after
the caution that came out at lap 381. Busch did not pit, and thought that the
leaders did not pit. It was not the case. The cars that stayed out were lapped
cars who could not pit with the cars on the lead lap. Busch took the lead on
lap 382, but had older tires. Busch even admitted that it was a mistake, and
his crew chief, veteran Jimmy Fennig was angry at the young racer. However at
Bristol, it is about the only track that a racer can get away with older tires
for the track is concrete instead of asphalt. Busch held off a hard charging
Rusty Wallace, a former Cup champion, a nine time winner at Bristol, and a
racer who had not won at all in 3 years. Wallace tried but could not pass the
Las Vegas racer.
Bristol had its usual anger
management problems. Around lap 200, Scott Wimmer and Tony Stewart bumped on
turn 2, causing Robby Gordon to spin. During the caution laps, Stewart
gestured to Wimmer that he was number one in his own way. Both bumped during
the caution laps, and both received a one-lap penalty for the incident. Both
drivers were never a factor in the race. At the end, Matt Kenseth and Jamie
McMurray were fighting for position, and Kenseth bumped McMurray out of the
way. McMurray was not happy with that, and at the end of the race, McMurray
took his front bumper and spun Kenseth around. That incident for the normally
calm McMurray cost him $10K and put on probation until the end of August. Only
Bristol will bring out the true colors of a racer. Corporate big-wigs do not
like this, but fans like me DO.
1. Kurt Busch (my pick to win)
2. Rusty Wallace (has not won in
103 races)
3. Kevin Harvick (top 5 for The
Impersonator)
4. Sterling Marlin (a top 5 at
his home state)
5. Matt Kenseth (ho-hum, another
top 5)
6. Ken Schrader (Where did he
come from?)
8. Jamie McMurray (top 5 until
Kenseth bumped him away)
10. Michael Waltrip (easily his
best finish of the year)
This week is Texas. The 500 mile
race is going to be fast, but since it is a realitivly new track, the bottom
line is the prefered line. Perhaps later on in the race, a second line will
develop, but not likely. The track is shaped much like Charlotte, and it is
one of the new cookie cutter tracks that has developed over the past 5 years
(Texas, Kansas, and Chicago). 1.5 mile, D shaped oval. These new tracks have
become like the cookie cutter stadiums were in baseball during the 70's and
80's. Texas has also become a hot topic for the fact it wants a second date
and it might get it. Squabbles between Bruton Smith, the Texas track owner (as
well as Charlotte, Atlanta, Bristol and Las Vegas) and NASCAR (ISC Corp.) have
cooled a bit, and both sides are willing to compromise. Texas might get a
second date, sacrificing traditional tracks in Darlington, SC and/or
Rockingham, NC. This is sad because NASCAR is thumbing its nose on the fans
who have built this racing sport to its height, and let greed dominate over
common sense.
Anyway, the drivers who can do
well at this track are: Tony Stewart, Ryan Newman (last year's winner), Dale
Jr., Bobby Labonte, and possibly the rookie Kasey Kahne.
I am going out on a limb this
week and picking Kasey Kahne to win his first cup race. He has been impressive
in his first season, and so far has justified his owner, Ray Evernham, to
outbid Ford for Kahne's services, much like Jeff Gordon over 10 years ago."

JOHNSON WINS AT THE
LADY IN BLACK
Jimmie Johnson won the 5th race
of the 2004 season at venerable Darlington International Speedway. Clever pit
strategy by his Crew Chief Chad Knaus helped get him the lead on the final
round of pit stops, and find victory circle for Johnson's first win of this
year.
Johnson, 2nd in points last
year, used the last pit stall as his strategy. By doing this, he is the first
into pit lane, plus he would have a better chance leaving the pit because the
cars that are a lap down or more do not pit with the lead cars. The strategy
worked in the end as he passed Bobby Labonte out of the pit stalls and led the
last 20 laps on the way to victory.
Pole sitter Kasey Kahne finished
14th after spinning on 2 different occasions.
Last week's winner, Dale
Earnhardt, Jr. led about 40 laps, but his car became really tight, but
salvaged a 10th place finish.
The 2 big items that happened in
the race was the new SAFER barrier walls and field fillers. The new walls cut
the track 30 inches, which is important because the preferred racing line is
right near the wall. However, it did not present a major problem for the
drivers. Those who knew the track adjusted to the new barriers. The second has
stirred up some controversy. Around lap 63, Tony Stewart was passing the
slower Andy Hillenburg, a field-filler. Hillenburg, the extremely slower car,
was in the way, and Stewart tapped him away. Hillenburg wrecked and got in the
way of Jeff Gordon. Gordon could not slow down at all and sustained a head on
crash. Gordon in a post crash interview, criticized NASCAR for having these
field fillers who cannot keep up to competitive speed. It is an issue that
NASCAR is supposedly looking into, but with TV mandanting a 43 car field (why,
I do not know), I expect autocratic NASCAR to sweep this under a rug.
1 - Jimmie Johnson (no, not the
former coach of the Cowboys)
2 - Bobby Labonte (Gibbs car does well)
3 - Ryan Newman (overcame missing the pit to get a top 5 finish)
4 - Robby Gordon (best Gordon of the race, 1st top 10 since August)
5 - Elliott Sadler (solid finish for the Emporia, VA native)
6 - Kurt Busch (my pick to win - led the most laps)
7 - Mark Martin
8 - Kevin Harvick (The Impersonator grabs a top 10)
9 - Jeremy Mayfield (really solid at this track)
10 - Dale Earnhardt, Jr.
Moose - Ricky Rudd finished 33rd
This week is Bristol, Tennessee
(first of 2 this year). Bristol is the first short track of the year (short
track being less than a mile). Nicknamed "Thunder Valley", the 1/2 mile
track is shaped much like a 185,000 seat football stadium. IT is the hardest
ticket in NASCAR because there is a lot of excitement. Lots of banging and
tapping of cars. It is one of the favorites because the drivers most of the
time lose their cool. A wreck in the front stretch sometimes causes wrecks on
the backstretch. Expect about 15-20 cautions, and perhaps about 2 or 3 heated
arguments between drivers. It is pass or be passed on this track with its
really high banks and there is one groove. It is one of the most
demanding tracks mentally and physically on the circut. For the casual fan,
this is the one track I really recommend watching.
My pick to win is Kurt Busch. He
swept both races in Bristol, and has won 3 out of 4 at this demanding track.
Other drivers who do well at this track: Rusty Wallace, Matt Kenseth, Greg
Biffle, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Enjoy Bristol" Scott
Wed,
Mar 17 "Dale Jr Bounces Back with win in Atlanta, Scotty's Sensational Nascar report!" Myk Aussie
DALE JR. BOUNCES BACK WITH WIN IN
ATLANTA
Dale Earnhardt won a gut check moment race at the 500 mile race after enduring
one of the most embarrassing races last week in Las Vegas.
Earnhardt finished 35th at Las Vegas, and the car he "raced" was
almost parked by NASCAR for not being up to competitive speed. The DEI crew
rebounded quite nicely by working on his car throughout the day, and at the end
of the day, the right adjustments by his pit crew and crew chief, Tony Eury, Sr.
helped Earnhardt notch his second victory of the year. If Earnhardt happens to
win the championship, look for this race as the pivotal moment of the season.
The #8 car sponsored by a famous brewery in St. Louis, was about a top ten to
fifteen car for the first part of the race because the car was pretty loose. As
the day wore on, his car tightened up along with the track and it responded as
he passed Jeremy Mayfield with 19 laps to go and cruised to victory lane. The
victory is the first for Earnhardt in Atlanta.
Tony Stewart dominated the first half of the race, but about halfway through the
race, he bumped into Earnhardt in the frontstretch. It messed up his front
fender and it caused the car to become way too tight. He went from a favorite to
a top ten car.
Bad luck for the Ganassi team: Both Jamie McMurray and Casey Mears, who both had
contending cars, lost the engines near the end. Ganassi's team stressed extra
for horsepower their engine team, and Atlanta is known for blowing engines for
the speeds reach close to 200 mph around the frontstretch. The track can weed
out who can take care of an engine and who can't. For McMurray and Mears, the
ladder happened.
The top ten:
1. Dale Earnhardt (moves to 3rd in points)
2. Jeremy Mayfield
3. Kasey Kahne (3rd top 5 in a row for the rookie)
4. JImmie Johnson (Back in the top 10 in points)
5. Ryan Newman
6. Matt Kenseth (Mr. Consistency w/another top 10)
7. Tony Stewart (stays second behind Kenseth in points)

10. Jeff Gordon
Moose -- Ricky Rudd finished 31st
My pick to win: Bobby Labonte - finished 18th
Next week is my favorite speedway track, Darlington (South Carolina). It has two
nicknames, "The Lady In Black" and "The Track Too Tough To
Tame". This old track eats tires because the racing surface is like the
roughest sandpaper (there are seashells and sand grounded into the surface over
the years), so after about 10 laps the tires are worn out. A driver has to
actually race the track instead of other racers. The best line is right near the
wall, however if the car gets too close, it will earn the famous (or infamous)
"Darlington Stripe". Last year brought the best (and closest) finish
ever in NASCAR history as Ricky Craven edged out Kurt Busch by .006 seconds.
Both were beating and banging at the last turn and Craven won by the front nose
of his car. The victory was also historic for it was the last victory by a
Pontiac. The GM product left NASCAR after last year.
Look for these drivers to do well in Darlington:
Jeremy Mayfield, Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, Jamie McMurray, and Kurt Busch
My winner for the race this coming week is Kurt Busch.
Enjoy Darlington," Scott

Kenseth rolls another winner in Vegas
Matt Kenseth won only one race in his 2003 championship winning season, out of
36 races. This year, after 3 races, he has already surpassed his win total from
last year.
In a dominating performance (his car for that race was by far the class of the
field), Kenseth overtook Kevin Harvick (who I call The Impersonator, since his
taken over for the late, great Dale Earnhardt) with 37 laps to go, and won by
about 3 and a half seconds over rookie Kasey Kahne. It is the second straight
race that Kenseth and Kahne finished 1-2, though not nearly as close as the .01
victory the Wisconsin native achieved over Kahne in Rockingham, NC two weeks
ago.
To use a racing term, Kenseth's car was on a rail. The car kept up with the
slight changes in the track, and very rarely had to make any adjustments in the
pits. If the car is running right, it is running like a train on a rail. Kenseth
led the most laps, and now has regained the points lead from Dale Earnhardt,
Jr., who had an awful day (more about this later). This is not suprising for
owner Jack Roush. His cars have won 5 of the 7 races held in Vegas (Mark Martin,
Jeff Burton, and Matt Kenseth)
Kahne, who is now the driver of the #9 Dodge, has so far been impressive since
he took over for the semi-retired, former champion Bill Elliott. Kahne was the
pole sitter for this race, and early on he was strong. However, from lap 75 to
about 40 laps to go, his car became extemely loose and fell to about 19th to
20th. Near the end, his car all of a sudden became right again and picked off
drivers one by one, but could not catch Kenseth.
Most of the cautions happened for some reason around the lead cars pit window.
Not many green flag pit stops in the race. Only one bad wreck of note. On lap
163, 2-time Daytona 500 champ Michael Waltrip was tapped by Bill Elliott around
Turn 4 and the back of the car was crushed by the retaining wall real bad.
Waltrip was ok.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr. had at best a rough day. The chassis setup did not work at
all. His car lost a second per lap to the leader. Very unusual in this time of
multiple testing on tracks. To best describe the car would be JUNK. The car was
so undrivable, he had to go to the garage to fix it about a half dozen times. He
had to settle for a 35th place finish, 71 laps behind the winner. He fell from
1st in the points to 7th.
The top ten for the race:
1 - Matt Kenseth
2 - Kasey Kahne (doesn't that name sound like a porn star or stripper?)
3 - Tony Stewart
4 - Jamie McMurray
5 - Mark Martin (Mr. Viagra got it working for this race)
6 - Elliott Sadler (from Emporia, VA - the speed trap capital of Hell, Moose
would know)
7 - Casey Mears (Nephew of Rick Mears notched his 1st top 10 EVER)
8 - Bobby Labonte (Looking forward to Atlanta next week)
9 - Kurt Busch (Vegas native was strong only on short runs)
10 - Rusty Wallace
Moose - Ricky Rudd finished 28th, 3 laps down
My pick to win, Ryan Newman finished 27th, 2 laps down.
For the rest of the results, go to jayski/thatsracin.com, the BEST NASCAR site.
Next week is the fastest track in NASCAR, Atlanta, where taking care of the
engine is a big priority. Look for the Gibbs cars to dominate this race, most
notably, Bobby Labonte. Later" Scott, MYKwebWORLD reporter

"Great Car Racing MYKwebTV coming as I race across the AB, BC mountains
in me Ford Probe to Kelowna!
I left Calgary Saturday 2pm drove to
Kelowna. Web Sports Cast the Ski 2 Sea 95 km race then raced back to Calgary today. Unreal drive.
Saturday was bit scary 1st 100 km from Calgary West as Calgary has
"Feet of Snow". Seriously it was a Massive Dump on the city &
surrounding area. About Canmore the weather cleared up.
15 cars in the ditch, 1 bus & a truck rolled over food everywhere. I had to do the Kelowna event! Had to dig me car out of the 30 cm of snow.
Mates you
will feel as though you've been to this magnificent part of the world after
watching this upcoming show.

"Mark
Webber the Aussie was right up Schumachers clacker on Sundee in his Jag early in
the 1st race of the 2003
season! Pommy
David Coulthard wins in the awesome McLaren! The battle for 2 & 3rd
places was enthralling right untill the very end as reigning World Champ Mike
Schumacher settles for 4th in his "Flapping Fire red Ferrari".
Montoya
in a Williams came in 2nd while Raikkonen also in a
McLaren held off Mike Schumacher to take 3rd place
Mike’s Red machine was made to have its wings clipped
after Flapping around the Melbourne track while the Ferrari team also had
a bad pit stop.
Canadian
Jacques Villeneuve finished 9th after he & Button in the BAR's crazily
decided to have a pit stop together. Jacque won the prized championship in 1997
in a Williams Renault.
Great
to an Aussie back in Formula 1. Mark Webber was driving great until his Jag
stuffed up! The famous Aussie drivers in Formula 1 in past years are Allan
Jones & Sir Jack Brabham.
The
very popular Jack who
won 3 world championships is the only Formula One driver to have won a world
title in a car of his own construction – the BT19 – which he drove to
victory in 1966.
Alan Jones won the
championship in a Williams in 1980. Once Alan stopped driving he became a star
on Aussie car racing TV.
My fav Formula 1
drivers were the late Ayton Senna, his arch rival Alain Prost, Gerhard Berger
& Eddie Irvine. Me & many on me mates enjoyed 10 great years when the
Aussie Formula 1 was in my home city of Adelaide. The race was them moved to
Melbourne after a few politicians sucked up bigtime of the right people involved
in moving the prized race!!!!!!.
I
talked Formula 1 with Gabriel
Morency on SportsRage last Friidee night. I then enjoyed a brilliant direct
telecast on Jimmy’s Shaw’s cable TSN TV Saturdee night here in Western
Canuckland. " Myk Aussie.com
"Moose
