Well, so far, todays race is very interesting. At least Johnson won't win now 

Sucks for Jr. and Harveck though

someone that lives in my house hasnt found the channel yet to start recording it.  never depend on the female persuasion. 

  what did i miss? im stuck at work and she is ..,...... oh well.

Jr, misjudged the second part of the dogleg around lap 15, got into the muddy dirt, and it folded the front of his car under the engine, and he shot straight across the track into the wall in turn 1, and caught fire. Johnson was behind him, and got all kinds of car parts in the windshield caving it in a bit. Plus something hit the lower left of Johnson's car tearing that up. Right now, J.J is 3 laps down, but Gorden is leading at 157 laps. Harvek blew his engine a few laps later.

Logano won... 

[A383Wing]

yea....better than Gordon or JJ though..but not by much in my book

[nvrbdn]

i agree.

[JB400]

At least Ferds are winning.  Much better than the Chevy and Toyota dominance like last year

[nvrbdn]

what a fun finish for the nationwide race. chase elliot in the napa car for the win. sadler did a heck of a job to hold onto that car.

[A383Wing]

yea...that was a fun race to watch

[TruckDriver]

I agree, good race. 

[thedodgeboys]

That Apple didn't fall far from the tree..

Awesome to see a new fave in the NNS but if he keeps this up people will want to rush him to cup.

[JB400]

Congrats to Harvick   Best car definitely won tonight.  Too bad for Kurt though.

[TruckDriver]

I'm just happy J.J. didn't win. 

[A383Wing]

[djcarguy]

Racing on both Wednesday and Sunday in one week

[Ponch ®]

I like the idea of an occasional mid-week race, but i think logistics would be a nightmare the way they are laid out in that schedule (back to back to back to back). I mean, some of them make sense (Loudon/Dover), but Dover and Texas?

And even at those that are near each other...think the drivers and crew would last if they had to race on Sunday, show up at the next track on Monday, qualify on Tuesday, race on Wednesday, and then be ready to qualify at the next one on Friday...and then start the process over for 4 straight weeks?

[JB400]

For the Wednesday race, they could run it like they do Nationwide.  Run practice on Tues, and qualifying in the morning, race in the afternoon or at night.

[JB400]

Pretty good race tonight, at least the last 50 laps were good.   Logano scored another one.

Looks like Ambrose scored a hit on Mears.  Penalty maybe?

Next wreck is at Talledega.

[TruckDriver]

Oh, there will be a few fines I bet 

And yeah, lot of good racing the last 30 laps. It was fun to watch, although I hate Logano 

[nvrbdn]

cant stand the whiner lagano. wish he would have been involved in the bumper car episode as well.
