He passed away on Sat. Sept 27, 2008. He was not only an avid fan, but a racecar driver. He raced modified racecars from 1953 to 1964, and participated at Daytona in 1961 and 1962. He was inducted into the Jennerstown Hall Of Fame in 2006 and is in the Easton Motorsports Hall of Fame in Pittsburg, PA. <BR/>Mr. Rubritz resided in Dover, DE and frequently traveled to many other races during the year.<BR/>He was truly a Nascar GREAT!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-30344138472366304032008-05-03T23:52:00.000-04:002008-05-03T23:52:00.000-04:00I think Kyle busch is the worst driver there is in...I think Kyle busch is the worst driver there is in nascar.

(I think I saw two brief comments on it last week, none today.)<BR/><BR/>Something tells me the show is dead in the water. Interesting concept (clips from weekend practice and qualifying, plus Trackside, Trading Paint, and NASCAR Performance), but putting it on early Sunday morning is a HUGE mistake. Maybe Sundays at 6:30 before SPEED Report, or immediately after Wind Tunnel might improve its chances. Adam Alexander does a good job hosting.<BR/><BR/>As I am looking forward to "NASCAR Confidential" much more that NIAH, I hope that show doesn't suffer the same fate of no interest from fans. Otherwise, original NASCAR programming on SPEED will become even more rare - and all the complaining in the world about the lack of it won't help that situation. We'll end up with PINKS and Wreckers all the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-43986012066779971162008-03-16T13:29:00.000-04:002008-03-16T13:29:00.000-04:00I've been to a flyers game you are right the stand...I've been to a flyers game you are right the stands were emptyNewracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-50166516202163944672008-03-16T13:27:00.001-04:002008-03-16T13:27:00.001-04:00Richmond Philly don't get it, Dover or Pocono mayb...Richmond Philly don't get it, Dover or Pocono maybeNewracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-29110030085373786032008-03-16T13:27:00.000-04:002008-03-16T13:27:00.000-04:00newracefan: yeah, it was a real stretch to make th...newracefan: yeah, it was a real stretch to make that try & work at the flyers game. truex, yeah: big fan of all things philly. harvick? impression i got was that even happy was a tad bemused by the whole thing.<BR/>knowing flyers fans the way we do, i can pretty much guarantee that not too many people were even paying attention during the period break! i'm guessing the beer stands & bathrooms saw more action than that nascar/flyer promo!<BR/><BR/>(and why is wrangler using the brett favre commercials during pre-race show instead of their nascar spokesman? did i miss something about favre's next career?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-18196821747266358912008-03-16T13:25:00.000-04:002008-03-16T13:25:00.000-04:00I have a feeling that the Philly Flyer / Harvick p...I have a feeling that the Philly Flyer / Harvick piece had something to with Richmond Intl Raceway's promotion of their upcoming race.<BR/><BR/>Harvick was probably the driver designated to "promote" the Richmond race and part of that days worth of promotion included a Flyers game.... the pace car was also probably from RIR.<BR/><BR/>just a guess.Ken-Michiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00465393385510929010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-42841161632915772272008-03-16T13:24:00.000-04:002008-03-16T13:24:00.000-04:00Elliot in the dryer LOLElliot in the dryer LOLNewracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-47449341604025090622008-03-16T13:22:00.000-04:002008-03-16T13:22:00.000-04:00ken,How does it feel to be a powerful TV exec?
