That's still better than it used to be. They would take the week off after Daytona and then go to Rockingham two weeks later.

They pushed the 500 back a week which got rid of the week off
Next scheduled week off is Easter

Thats right, I forgot about that.
Btw, why should they have Easter off and Mothers day for that matter ...
They RACE on Fathers day, the one day they SHOULD take off.
A few years ago when Darlington lost the Labor Day race they wanted Mothers Day weekend so its a Saturday night race. A couple years ago it got rained out so they DID run on Mothers day
After a Speeding penalty.
The stupid things that he does or has happen to him is incredible.
A top 10 would have been much better and keep the momentum going.
He's still up there in the standing though ...
what a joke
CONCORD, N.C. -- NASCAR chief appellate officer John Middlebrook overturned on Tuesday an earlier ruling by the governing body that had threatened to cripple the No. 48 team of driver Jimmie Johnson for the 2012 season.
In doing so, Middlebrook rescinded the loss of 25 Sprint Cup championship driver and car owner points assessed, and also rescinded six-week suspensions levied against crew chief Chad Knaus and car chief Ron Malec. The only penalty that remained in place was a $100,000 fine for Knaus -- while both he and Malec will remain on probation until May 9.

I highly doubt the 25 points was going to cripple Johnson for the season.
The 100,000 is pocket change for Rick, afterall, he's the one that will pay it.

since the max points per race is 48 (43 to win, 3 for winning, 2 for leading most laps) yes those 25 can hinder a team
He's already on his way to making them up.
He's went from mid 20's to 11th after this ruling.
correct but a 25 point difference can make a difference. The advantage for them (well other than they got it overturned) was it was the 1st race. So they had 25 races to make it up.
Now had it happened say at the July race then it would have been more difficult

The "master appeal" judge use to work with Chevy and apparently is "an old buddy of Rick Hendrick"
I dont get why the appeal board is 3 people and the "master appeal" board is one dude. It should be more than just one guy.

Jr did another good stop then the rain hit and he got lucky that others mad pit stops if the race ends now...
Rain delay. Will they get back to racing, call it or try again tomorrow? I know what Smoke being in front would like!
