triple decker burnout
A bike, a 'ute and a truck drive into a parking lot... Click above to watch video after the jump

We may be a bit late in posting this clip, but it's new to us... and it's excellent. We present to you a triple-decker burnout that puts most other tire-shredding attempts to shame. On top is a motorcycle, resting in the bed of a 'ute, sitting on the back of a truck. You see where this is going, but rather than rattle on, just click past the jump and see it for yourself. Thanks for the tip, gian!

Bouffier closes on Monte Carlo win

Bryan Bouffier remains on course for Monte Carlo Rally victory with two stages to go, as new second-place man Freddy Loix was only able to trim a few seconds from his lead on tonight's first loop. Conditions have remained dry and relatively ice-free for tonight's deciding stages, and sixth and fourth-fastest times on the first two tests saw Peugeot's Bouffier maintain a 47.7-second lead over Skoda driver Loix, who eased past Francois Delecour for second on SS10. "I'm having lots of fun, the car is good and I hope it stays like this, it's perfect," said Bouffier

2010 Team Reviews: Roush Fenway Racing Charts Upward Trend

Filed under: , , , , , , ,

Roush Fenway Racing, coming off a 2009 season that started with a bang after Matt Kenseth's Daytona 500 win and ended with the thud of being largely uncompetitive, moved in the right direction again in 2010.

Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and Matt Kenseth all raced their way into the Chase for the Sprint Cup field this time around, a nice turnaround after the former champ Kenseth failed to secure a spot in last year's championship battle. David Ragan, however, continued down the same path of his dismal 2009 season.

The team reeled off three wins in the 2010 campaign, but most notably finished it on quite a high note with Edwards' end-of-the-season dominance as Jimmie Johnson strutted to the Sprint Cup title.

Outside of the stats, Edwards also made it an interesting year for the Roush-Fenway public relations department with his on-track actions, particularly with Brad Keselowski.

But no one was involved in more dramatics than team co-owner Jack Roush himself, who survived his second plane crash when he crash-landed his jet while trying to touch down at Oshkosh, Wis., in July. The crash cost Roush the sight in his left eye, among other non-permanent injuries.

4th - Carl Edwards [2 wins, 9 Top-5s, 19 Top-10s, 2 DNFs, 11.8 Avg. Finish]

The Carl Edwards roller coaster -- a ride that featured a loop around the 2007 Chase and a near-miss at dethroning Jimmie Johnson and then a steep drop into a mediocre 2009 season -- started back up the next hill in 2010, complete with some jaw-dropping bumps along the way.

The most obvious reflection on 2010 for Edwards was his late-season performance that netted him wins in the season's final two races. They were the culmination of the steady progress Edwards started to most noticeably show in mid-summer races. After his long drought, winning 2010's final two races had to leave Edwards and No. 99 team feeling good headed to Daytona Beach in February.
