Four Ford Drivers Discuss Tonight’s Shootout

How does Boris fit all of that inside a helmet?

Courtesy of the Ford Media folks, we have this interview of four of the Ford drivers leading up to tonight’s Bud Shootout. My personal take on the season is that somewhere along the line Boris’ skill and professionalism is going to shine and the good old boys are going to start giving way to Sasquatch!

There will be four Ford teams competing in Saturday night’s Budweiser Shootout. David Gilliland, Boris Said, Ken Schrader and Greg Biffle all spoke about the start to the 2007 season during yesterday’s NASCAR media day.

GREG BIFFLE – No. 16 Ameriquest Ford Fusion — DOES THE BUD SHOOTOUT MEAN MORE TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM SINCE EVERYTHING IS PRETTY MUCH NEW? HOW IMPORTANT IS IT FOR YOU GUYS? “I think it’s really important for us. We have a pretty decent race car, but not our best race car for the Bud Shootout. We wish it was our best race car, but we’re saving what we feel is our best car for the 500, but I think we’re definitely gonna see how the track handles with this tire that we’re gonna be on. I’m not saying it’s a lot different, but year-to-year we’ll see how this tire acts and get a pit stop and get a little bit of a run on it, see how far we can go on fuel even though it will be different engines, different carburetor, we’ll still get a basic idea. So this is important for us.”

Canadian International Autoshow Here We Come

While all the guys down south are in the windy city doing their best auto show reporting, we’re gearing up for the Canadian International Autoshow here in Toronto next week. We’re feeling all warm and fuzzy, because the media passes have arrived and our day is all planned out. We’re not sure exactly what the car is (though we have our suspicions) there will be a world premier on Wednesday. You can be sure that we’ll have a gallery full of pics up within minutes from the show floor.

With 850,000 square feet of floor space, it’s going to be a busy day!

Caution: Extreme junvenile post ahead!

Naugatuck Connecticut.

A 24 year old female who had failed her driver’s test several times was asked to remove her clothes by the 48 year old examiner. On the off chance that she might actually pass, she did partly disrobe before reporting the perv. Apparently she rated well enough that she passed. The perv, Kevin Shag-non, is on a paid leave while the investigation continues.

Pontiac Solstice Racer

A while back, The Garage showed you a shot of the Solstice Club racer concept that Pontiac showed at SEMA last fall. Now, it seems like the boys & girls at Pontiac have gotten serious about going racing.

A member at the Solstice forum was at a Pontiac event at Indy last weekend and snapped some shots of this SCCA SSB prepped Solstice. He noted that the car had a full cage, Sparco racing seat and was devoid of street stuff like air bags. Interestingly, ten minutes later, the car was gone and everyone in the area had developed amnesia.
Race car? What race car?
Great find, I can’t wait to see the Solstice vs. Miata wars that are sure to erupt all over North America.
