I don't mind when JJ wins, being a Hendricks guy !
I have been falling asleep and waking up in time to see the last few laps, at least last night i did.
good question. The Kansas race starts at 1 and Chicago is a night race. Those are the only Central time zone races. I didnt even think they had lights there to start that late. Might also have to do with the heat and starting the race at 12:45 instead of 2:45
But knowing the real reason......Eddie Gossage (president) probably wanted to be different than the other tracks

I thought NASCAR proclaimed to have SET times this year ?
They do
1:00 for day races on East Coast
3:00 for day races on West Coast
7:30 for night races
That is the approz start time...its usually within 15 minutes of that time
The exception is the 600 on Memorial Day which starts at 5:45 I think
so all races fall under this except Texas, Kansas & Chicago which are Central time zone. Chicago is a night race so its at 7:30. Kansas doesnt have lights so they get the 1:00 start
Texas has lights (last I checked...edit: checked their website and they do) so I guess they can pick either 1 or 3:00. I guess they'd prefer a 2:00 local start than a noon start

How can someone do this while still driving for another owner? If I was Petty I would kick him to the curb now!
His contract is up at years end I believe, so he has every right to look elsewhere, that said Petty could make the rest of the year miserable, but I highly doubt that he will, Petty's a classy guy.
they do it all the time. Jr's press conference that he was going to Hendrick in the middle of the year is the same thing.
The key thing for the King is to keep the 9 car in the top 35 in points so next year the 1st 5 races are guaranteed. Pissing off Kahne with bad equipment only hurts Petty.
If you dont remember, the 1st 5 races for the Top 35 (guaranteed spots) are whoever finished in the top 35 the previous year. After the first 5 races then its the current year.
actually he didnt as Kahne has gone through 3 team owners (he's been there since 04)
Evernham
then they sold to Gilette
Now they merged with Petty
Well that means that Mark Martin has decided to call it quits after next year then. WithKahne moving to Hendricks in '12
Mark's contract is up next year
