Mike Ford Hired as Almirola's New Crew Chief
Nine races in, Silly Season 2012 in NASCAR is officially underway. After a tepid start to the season, Richard Petty Motorsports has hired Mike Ford, former crew chief for Denny Hamlin and Joe Gibbs Racing, to serve in the same role for Aric Almirola and the No. 43 team.
Ford replaces Greg Erwin, formerly a winning head wrench with Greg Biffle who joined the organization last July when A.J. Allmendinger was piloting the No. 43. While Erwin's inclusion at Richard Petty Motorsports helped Allmendinger surge to a 15th-place finish in points by year's end, he was unable to continue the magic with Almirola, who has one top-10 finish after nine races.
The move brings Ford, a veteran of the garage, back into the sport. Overall, Ford notched 17 victories, 66 top-5 finishes and 111 top 10s during his tenure at Joe Gibbs Racing, and made the Chase each of the six full seasons he was the crew chief on Hamlin's No. 11.
"Mike Ford is an elite crew chief who knows what it takes to be a winner at this level," said team owner Richard Petty in a press release announcing the move. "We're fortunate that he was available and that we could reach a deal to bring him over to our place. We've taken a lot of big steps at Richard Petty Motorsports in the past year and I think this might be that one piece of the puzzle we were missing."
Perhaps the move can rejuvenate Richard Petty Motorsports as a whole. Though Almirola has only scored one top 10 in 2012, it is one better than teammate Marcos Ambrose. Ambrose and Almirola currently sit 22nd and 23rd in the point standings, respectively.
Mayfield Ending Lawsuit Against NASCAR
Jeremy Mayfield said Monday that he will likely end his lawsuit against NASCAR over the 2009 drug test in which he tested positive for methamphetamine by not pursuing any additional appeals. The driver's next move would have had to be appealing up to the U.S. Supreme Court.
"We're probably going to move on," Mayfield said after an unrelated court appearance in North Carolina Superior Court in Caldwell County. "They won on a technicality, a paper I had to sign to participate."
The news came as Mayfield's property in Catawba County was being foreclosed and auctioned off later Monday afternoon. The driver now has ten days to move out of the property before it is reclaimed. But that's also the least of the driver's problems; Mayfield also currently faces four larceny charges from a February 27th indictment stating that he was in possession of stolen goods. That case has been continued until September.
The former NASCAR driver originally sued the sanctioning body less than a month after the failed drug test, claiming that the failure was a false positive for Adderall and Claritin D. A U.S. District Court judge ruled in favor of NASCAR in January 2010, and the U.S. Court of Appeals upheld that ruling in March.
Mayfield has until June 25th to file an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and continue the case. It's unknown whether he will make an attempt to follow NASCAR's reinstatement procedures to try and reenter the sport.
Race Hauler Catches Fire at JD Motorsports
JD Motorsports, a longtime competitor in the NASCAR Nationwide Series with the No. 01 driven by Mike Wallace, sustained a total loss to their hauler after it caught fire at their race shop Sunday evening. Fortunately for the team, both the primary and backup cars for this weekend's race at Talladega were not on the hauler when the fire broke out. However, the team suffered tens of thousands of dollars in damages, as the equipment that remained in the hauler is a total loss. The long list of burned and melted sheet metal includes engines, backup parts, shocks, springs and other equipment along with team uniforms.
No injuries were reported in the incident, and the tractor that would pull the hauler was pulled away before it could sustain any damage. The race shop itself escaped fire damage as well.
"The fire department told me the fire started near the refrigerator on the hauler," said team owner Johnny Davis. "That's powered by propane, like everyone else's is on these haulers. It started around 7 PM and we were able to detach the tractor before anything happened to it and get that out of the way. The hauler itself is a total loss; almost everything on there is burnt beyond use."
RBR Motorsports (No. 92, Camping World Truck Series) has stepped up to offer a hauler for the team to use en route to Talladega Superspeedway this weekend, and Davis said that Black's Tire will also provide additional assistance to the organization. The No. 01 car has a best finish of 17th this season while its driver, Wallace, sits 13th in points heading to the restrictor plate track.

Travis Pastrana: Getting to Know the New Guy... The Wrong Way
Sitting In The Stands: A Fan's View
by S.D. Grady
Jamie Little opened the post-race interview with Travis Pastrana and asked him what was the highlight and lowlight of his first Nationwide race.
"The lowlight was gettin' beat by both the girls."
In less than 140 characters, Travis Pastrana managed to raise my eyebrows with the second utterance of this sentiment on Friday night. The first happened at about Lap 140 where he thanked his crew on the radio for getting him in front of the girls. For all I knew, the new guy seemed more concerned about beating the fairer sex than the condition of his actual race car. But that's because that's all I heard.
I'm admittedly new to the Travis Pastrana show, as the X Games are something I gawk at for a few minutes when channel surfing. I may have actually watched his 2006 double-flip and my movie theatre has hosted a couple special features on the charismatic young man, but when all is said and done I know very little about the latest face the cameras can't seem to stay away from. I'm a NASCAR fan, and Pastrana had never graced a Nationwide race with his presence until Friday night.
So, here I am sort of staring at the TV and suddenly ESPN decides to air Travis' midrace comment on his ability to pass two particular drivers in the competition. Several things fly through my mind -- he's a bit insecure, ain't he? All worried about being thumped by the little girls with his masculinity is on the line? Is this fact really all his brain can summon to think about as his car slides in the corners? Wouldn't you think the rookie might want to actually finish a race before he decides that finishing in front of anybody should become a consideration?
His remarks just turned me off, being a member of the aforementioned sex. I like to think we live in an enlightened age where each person on the planet is permitted to achieve what their individual talents allow. And here, the major sports presenter in the world decides to choose to air this one sentence as an introduction to who they hope will become the next major racing personality. In less than twenty words, I now perceived Pastrana as some caveman only capable of thinking with his nether regions.
And that's not fair.
Before I settled down to pen my column tonight, I spent a bit of time reading and watching what I could find regarding Travis. To be honest, he's fun to watch. He can't stay still for a single moment, so the cameramen seem to have to move about to keep him in shot as his hands wave around. Tall, constantly smiling and self-aware, he makes a great interview. There's no question he owns the larger-than-life personality often seen as the hallmark of a superstar.
I watched his post-race interview a couple times, and really listened. I didn't hear any malice or discontent in the discovery he had indeed been whooped by the girls. The comment came off as more self-deprecating than anything. But those words...
Not every child who lives with a Travis Pastrana hat hanging on their bedpost and a Red Bull T-Shirt full of holes earned on the playground will stop and consider the intended meaning behind those words. The message that ESPN and Pastrana repeated -- just so I beat the girls -- isn't one that bears repeating when you hope to market the next major sports figure. A bigot is not something anybody aspires to be, and I'm sure giving that impression of Pastrana was not ESPN's intent. Unfortunately, children will repeat what they hear, as they lack the maturity to decipher the true meaning behind flippant utterances.
Often I grumble about the editing done to "live" radio transmissions during races. Snippets of dissatisfied drivers are whitewashed to more closely resemble pleasant complaints. Disjointed collections of static and swears are compiled into something akin to conversations. Aware of the sensitive ears of their viewing audience, time and attention is taken to ensure the message ESPN wants to get across is heard, without any backlash to the NASCAR heroes they are highlighting. So, if the network is capable of self-control all those other times, what compelled them to weave together such an inane bunch of quotes from the No. 99 team that made Pastrana sound like a schoolyard dufus?
Or did the team in the production truck think it was funny? "Dude, he got beat by a girl."
Did Pastrana decide to repeat the concept during his post-race interview because he knew it had already been broadcast and elicited an awkward chuckle from the broadcast booth? Hey! What gets one laugh will surely get two. Perhaps I'm the one living with rose-colored glasses and the world around me is nothing more than a bunch of intellectually stunted idiots incapable of thinking beyond who won during recess in third grade... but I don't think so.
I chose to believe Travis Pastrana is less of a chauvinist than his words indicated. When taken out of context, anything can be twisted into something reeking of a squashed peanut butter and jelly sandwich. But as a major journalism outlet, it's the responsibility of ESPN to provide clear, unbiased and hopefully mature coverage of the sport aired on their channels at any particular moment. On Friday night, they failed spectacularly. And for that reason, I shall always be second guessing just how much I should like the next greatest driver.
Editor's Note: Pastrana's reference to "beating the girls" was not in any way designed to be malicious. Rather, it was a friendly bet. According to ESPN's David Newton, Pastrana had bet a friend of his that he would beat Patrick and Long in his first race. If he failed to do so, he would donate to an unspecified charity. Obviously, one lucky charity is the recipient of a monetary donation after Pastrana failed to "beat the girls."

Numbers Game: Capital City 400 Presented by Virginia Is For Lovers Edition
by Garrett Horton
2
Joe Gibbs Racing has won the last two races – Kyle Busch this past Saturday and Denny Hamlin last week at Kansas. That gives JGR three victories for the year, putting them in a tie with Stewart-Haas Racing for the most so far.
3
After a horrid start to the 2012 season, Kasey Kahne now has three straight finishes of eighth or better. He has moved up from 31st to 23rd in the standings during that stretch.
4
Kyle Busch has won the last four spring races at Richmond, and that has put him into sole possession of most wins there by any active driver.
4.7
Busch's success at RIR hasn't been limited to just the spring. In 15 career races, he has posted an astonishing 4.7 average finish at the short track, the highest all-time for drivers who have run at least ten events there.
5
We have now gone five straight races with no driver wrecking out. The last DNF due to a wreck was at Bristol in March when David Stremme retired with crash damage after 334 laps.
7
There have been seven races in 2012 where the race winner did not lead the most laps. The only two times it didn't happen came in back-to-back races at Las Vegas and Bristol, when Tony Stewart and Brad Keselowski earned the maximum amount of points thanks to the lap leader bonus.
15th
This represents Dale Earnhardt, Jr.'s worst finish all year, which came at Bristol. He is the only driver to finish in the top 15 in every race so far.
16
When it comes to racing at Richmond, you can bet the best will be towards the front. The top-6 finishers Saturday night have combined to win a total of 16 races at the three-quarter mile short track. On the flip side, the rest of the field has totaled only 11 victories at RIR.
19th
Richmond pole sitter Mark Martin currently sits 19th in the point standings despite missing two races. He has scored just three fewer points than four-time champion Jeff Gordon.
20th
Landon Cassill drove the No. 83 BK Racing Toyota to a 20th-place result at Richmond, the team's best effort so far in its first season in the series.
24
Kyle Busch has 24 victories in the Sprint Cup series, tying his brother Kurt for 26th-most all-time.
27
Jimmie Johnson, who averages one win about every 6.76 races despite having only two victories in the last year and a half, would need to race a little more than 27 years with this win ratio to match Richard Petty's record total of 200. Even if he were to maintain that ratio, age would start to factor in as he would be 63 years old by the end of this timeframe.
99
With his runner-up result at Richmond, Dale Earnhardt, Jr. is now just one top 5 short of 100 for his career with 99.
206
Carl Edwards led 206 in Saturday night's race at Richmond. Prior to that event, he had led a total of one lap all season.
270
By finishing third Saturday night, Tony Stewart recorded his 270th career top 10.

FRONTSTRETCH TRIVIA:
Q: In 1990, Dale Earnhardt won the DieHard 500 at Talladega to claim a season sweep on the high banks. However, there was a rarely-seen big wreck on the last lap. What happened?
Check back Wednesday for the answer, here in the Frontstretch Newsletter!
Monday's Answer:
Q: The 1987 Winston 500 is best known for the high speeds and Bobby Allison's scary crash into the catchfence on Lap 21. However, Darrell Waltrip's day was effectively ruined despite not even being involved in the crash. What happened?
A: When Bobby Allison had his engine failure, tire blowout and crash, he was running in the fifth position, having just been passed by Buddy Baker. When Allison went into the fence, a piece of debris flew off either Allison's car or the catchfence and hit Waltrip's car on the corner of the windshield nearest to Waltrip. The result was that one-third of the windshield was shattered and fell partly into Waltrip's lap. In a very rare move, NASCAR, in the interest of safety, allowed Waltrip's crew to replace that section of windshield while the red flag was still out. Once the yellow came back out, the team had to replace the whole windshield anyway. When this procedure was done, they discovered that there was damage to the sheetmetal next to the windshield, thus destroying the car's aerodynamics. Despite the less than ideal condition of the Tide Chevrolet, Waltrip still managed to bring it home in 11th, one lap down.
