Looks like Na$car doesn't want Ragan to mess with one of their prescious chase races. This seems to be pretty blatant by Na$car.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- David Ragan failed to gain clearance from NASCAR to race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, and Roush Racing withdrew its entry for him on Tuesday.
Ragan, recently tabbed to replace Mark Martin in Roush's flagship No. 6 Ford next season, had been scheduled to run in both the truck series and Nextel Cup events this weekend in Atlanta. But he first had to be approved to race on superspeedways, and NASCAR declined to give him the go-ahead.
"The committee met and decided his level would remain at tracks one mile in length or less," NASCAR spokesman Kerry Tharp said. "We look at things like experience and qualifications, and his status will continue to be reviewed."
NASCAR did, however, approve A.J. Allmendinger to run the Cup race at Atlanta, even though Allmendinger has only two Truck Series starts on his résumé.
Ragan, on the other hand, has 26 Truck Series starts, seven Busch Series races and two Cup events. But he's wrecked in both of his Cup races, including a three-car accident Sunday at Martinsville Speedway that infuriated Ken Schrader and other veterans.
"We had a rookie out there that was kind of a dart with no feathers out there, but other than him everything was pretty much sane," Tony Stewart complained.
Schrader picked up a piece of his car following the accident and angrily threw it down before walking to his pit stall.
Ragan, the 20-year-old son of former Cup racer Ken Ragan, was remorseful after the accident.
"[My dad] is probably going to tell me, 'Man, you have got to call Schrader and talk to him,' " Ragan said after the race. " 'You don't want to make any enemies.' "
Ragan finished 25th and was on the lead lap at Martinsville. In his first start, in Dover, Del., last month, he completed just 46 laps and finished 42nd.

No, what's sad is they allow a Felon to be an owner You guessed it, Hendrick.

I heard Hasbro is interested in sponsoring the 06 next year.
They are going to release a Regan version of the Sit 'N Spin.


Guess Roush has one of them already.

I call him "The Felon," but only partly because he is a convicted felon (I still have a ton of heartbuirn over how he got his pardon, but that's another stroy for another forum). Top be fair Rick isn't the first. Junior Johnson was a convicted felon (he sat out most of the 1955 season because he was in jail, doing nine months for running shine) but he went on to be a NASCAR chamion driver AND car owner.

MY trouble with Hendrick isn't that when he was convicted of bribery and mail fraud, he was given a $250K fine and was to be sentenced to a Club Fed somewhere. My beef is that he immediately came up with a form a cancer and got the court to mitigate his jail time to 12 months house confinement. Then, almost immediately after the alteration of sentencing, his cancer went into remission, never to be seen again? Maybe a jail sentence can be a cure for cancer?

No, my problem with Rick is not being a convicted criminal. My basic thought is that IF you decide to do the crime, then, damn it, if you get caught, do the time. Crime isn't for wimps, and that is what I feel Rick Hendrick proved himself to be. I have zero tolerance for wimps.
