NASCAR Sprint Cup Series 2012 Season

Joe Gibbs Racing Signs Matthew Anderson To Drive #00 Car!

Joe Gibbs Racing announced they will introduce a new car, the #00, sponsored by NAPA, for the Sprint Cup Series. They also announced the driver, being Matthew Anderson, who will drive for the complete 2012 Sprint Cup Schedule. Matthew Anderson has four victories in the World of Outlaws, fifteen late model victories, and a K&N Pro Series Championship, racing all over the south.

“I’m honored to drive for Joe Gibbs Racing,” Anderson said. “The team has won numerous races and championships, and I hope I can add to that, and I think I will. With teammates like Kyle Busch, Denny Hamlin, and Joey Logano, I have a great team behind me. I’ve know Kyle for awhile now, and we get along great, and I think we both will be big contenders in the 2012 season.”

We wish JGR and Anderson the bust of luck in his inaugural Sprint Cup Season!

I am English so i have never really watched Nascar but this looks alright and I will read through.

Christopher and Anderson Test At Nashville Superspeedway

Both Michael Christopher and Matthew Anderson logged in some test laps today, as Christopher’s hometown track in Lebanon, Tennessee, at the Nashville Superspeedway.

- Christopher and RCR teammate from Nationwide, Elliott Sadler, hit the track during the afternoon. Both men focused on attempting their best track time for about an hour, before the two started a friendly race with each other for several laps, with Sadler edging out Christopher to “win” the exchange. Sadler joked, celebrating his win, as Christopher laughed, telling him he’s lucky he’s in the Nationwide Series, so he wouldn’t have to lose to him at an actual race.

Christopher tacked his fastest lap at 29.672, a little less than a second off of the track record set in 2007.

“Today was a lot of fun. It was great to get in a Cup car and do some laps, especially at my hometown track,” Christopher said, before joking, “That douche over there Sadler beat me in our little race. He’s fortunate I don’t go to the Nationwide Series and beat him every race.”

“You wish!” Sadler exclaimed, as the two laughed.

- Anderson and JGR teammate Joey Logano hit the track later in the day, as they focused on their own times for the majority of the time, with a small shoot out at the end of the session, where Anderson finished about two car lengths ahead of Logano. The joking was absent from this test, as Anderson lacked any smiles after the test.

Anderson beat out Christopher’s fastest time, posting a 29.152 lap time.

“I still have some ground to cover,” Anderson said. “I was nowhere close to the record. There is a lot of room for the improvement I need to win the championship I’m wanting to win this season.”

Anderson Tweets Christopher's Release; Sadler Responds.

- In the wake of Michael Christopher's sudden release from RCR, his old rival, Matthew Anderson talked about the release on his Twitter account:



To add insult to injury, Anderson tweeted this soon after:



Christopher has seemingly ignored the situation and the many people tweeting him about it, but his former RCR teammate Elliott Sadler went to his defense, responding harshly to Anderson:



Anderson responded with more harsh words, which Sadler quickly responded to:





It's obvious Anderson has no interest in making friends, as he has stirred up much controversy before the first race has happened.

Christopher Signs With Phoenix Racing!

- Announced today during NASCAR Race Hub, recently released RCR Driver Michael Christopher has signed with Phoenix Racing, and will drive the #09 Chevrolet Impala, sponsored by Phoenix Racing themselves.

"I'm so thankful to Phoenix Racing for signing me on last minute," Christopher said. "I really hope I can make these people happy and do great for them this season, it's the least I can do for them," Christopher smiled.

Christopher's new teammate, driver of the #51, Landon Cassill also talked about his new teammate.

"I'm excited to be teammates with Michael," Cassill said. "He's a really good racer, and I think we'll make a great team."

Really? Another nascar diary? This really shouldn't be allowed here.

I was against that Pokemon sims thing, but if that's not allowed, then this shouldn't be either, so if this is allowed to stay, I may as well go invite the pokemon people back
