My question is, who are these women that still want to be with him?

Free PR for the hemi...

Darlington paint scheme.

[JB400]

I'm surprised Ford didn't make them go with 429, or go with actual displacement.

[TruckDriver]

Yeah, you're right

Maybe the guy put the "6" on upside down ?

I bet it says 358CI by the time it hits the track on Friday...

Like this:

NBC is also showing Almorola's car with the 428 decals on the hood.  Have to wait and see what is actually on the hood.

They had 426 call outs in the video of them prepping the car.   Go to the 1:20 minute mark on the link below.

8 pm, Friday night - Nascar will stream the 1970 Southern 500.

Good opportunity to see that the car that won the race, #6 Owens Daytona, is not the one in existence today!   

[Aero426]

Link to the 70 Southern 500.     Most of it is ABC broadcast footage.   Certainly, the commentary has not been heard since 1970.

Great race tonight.  I, for one, enjoyed it.   It was great seeing the old paint schemes back on track.  I also enjoyed the 3 way battle for the lead with 20 to go.  I don't think the best car won, but can't complain about who did.  I want more races like this one.

The last caution was total BS.    Sorry to see the Brand X cars finish 1-2. 

[JB400]

BK got 2nd, not Hamlin.

Drivers want new rules package for Chase, NASCAR says no 

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/drivers-want-rules-package-chase-nascar-says-no-202841424--nascar.html

''It separates the racecar drivers from the pretenders, and that's the way it should be,'' said Darlington runner-up Brad Keselowski.

[el dub]

Don't you have to get in bad wrecks to change the rules?     https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=-eHrV_x0_lo#t=514

yep... 

and in other news the mwr #15 got caught cheating again...
The #15 team has been penalized for an infraction that occurred on opening day inspection Sept.18. This is a P4 level penalty (Section 12.1, 20. 14.c, 20.14.2.1.k, 12.5.3.4.d, 12.5.3.4.1.d & f, 12.5.3.4.2 of the NASCAR rule book). Crew chief Billy W. Scott has been fined $75,000, suspended for the next three NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship events and placed on NASCAR probation for six months following the issue of suspension. Driver Clint Bowyer has been penalized 25 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship Driver points. Car owner Rob Kauffman has been penalized 25 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Championship Owner points. NASCAR has requested to the Appeals Administrator of the National Motorsports Appeals Panel that the appeals process described in the rule book be expedited.
AND NASCAR issued the penalty -- P4 on its P1-to-P6 scale with P6 being the most severe -- for violation of the rule that forbids washers or other components that allow movement of certain track bar joints or mounting bolts. Permitting those rear-end suspension components to move would allow the car to handle better in the corners (ESPN).
