Indy!

Indy Nationwide!

I'm sure they didn't want to put whatever Sadler had to say about the restart on TV, btu I'm sure they had to keep him away from Austin Dillon.

Missed it, now I have to watch it later tonight.

Too busy today picking up my wife's new car.

I can't wait for the redesigned cars next year, keeps getting more and more boring, same 3-4 drivers win week in, week out. We REALLY need Penske with Ford, I have no idea what is going on in Roush, but they have REALLY sucked a** all year, Daytona aside.

Such a sad story. Imagine going to a race and then getting killed after it's done. RIP to the deceased and hope for a full recovery for the other 9.

I just heard the news as well. Terrible, just terrible.
A sad day.

Very bad news. My wife and son were with me today at Talladega. It was a fun day there and at Barber Motorsports Park for the evening. We really didn't get the news until we started our drive to Huntsville this evening. I've had some lightning encounters while flying and I didn't like it much. I can't imagine a strike on the ground out in the open. Prayers for those involved.

And out of the door goes Dodge...no real surprise, but disappointing none the less.

It's sad if you ask me. Dodge had the only ACTUAL V8 powered rear wheel drive car in the Spring series. I read an article where they want to get VW into the Sprint series.

Nascar is about to go on the respirator. If they bring in another foreign brand, that'll be the final nail in the coffin. The crowds will look like the IRL/CART series.

[falcongtho3]

I'm almost hoping that when Australian Touring Car series gets here to support the F1 race in Austin that they will see a series of 'stock' cars that should be replicated here.

[Thunderbolt]

That was the most exciting last lap of a road course I've ever seen. Of course you can't talk to Kyle Busch after the race is over. Hopefully someday he'll get over himself.

[falcongtho3]

Great for Marcos, great for Ford, and really the kind of ending that all NASCAR races should strive for.

[Rice_slayer]

Best race of the year by far, and it REALLY upped my respect for Keselowski, showed good class for once after an amazing battle to the finish. I wish more races were liked that, then you got cry baby gordon whining about cautions when he won last week due to a caution that LITERALLY waited for the rain to come. Still pulling for edwards, some tracks coming up that he is really good at.


Looking forward to seeing the blue deuce as a Ford again, Brad gained a lot of respect back thats for sure, considering how he used to race ala edwards into the fence, he's come along ways!

[Thunderbolt]

I noticed they got rid of 3 of 4 grandstands in turn 3/4 at Michigan. The huge grandstand I was in they got rid of. Wicked Mark Martin crash. If that car had got inside of that retaining wall it would have mowed down alot of pit crews.

[falcongtho3]

He was lucky that it hit where it did. Otherwise he could have been really serious.
Too bad about Johnson's engine...not!

[Thunderbolt]

I did'nt really want to see Johnson win again, and BOOM! That was great. I have'nt kept up with the points (not that it matters right now), but it's nice that Ford is 1,2.

[Thunderbolt]

Bristol baby!! Nice helmet to the windshield Tony! That was funny. It was Stewart's fault anyway I thought.

[falcongtho3]

It did look like Stewrat was at fault. He was being the Stewrat of old. Hated that Carls car fell of as badly as it did, and then ran out of gas. D'Oh!
Nice 5th place run by Ambrose.

[Rice_slayer]

That missed pit cue cost edwards sadly. 2 more races, if stewart keeps sucking the big one, edwards might make it on points! Hopefully he can win again at Atlanta next sunday night. Despite not having a Ford win, that was still an entertaining race last night that's for sure!

[blown03Mach1]

No surprises for me in this race.

1. Pole Smoke Stewart re-confirmed he is a D-bag and way to act Mr. Sprint Champion. I would like to see a fine and I hope this race is the way all your remaining races go.

2. Danica failed to finish yet again. Who else thought that might happen....EVERYONE! I don't care who's fault it was, she crashed YET AGAIN!!! I was quietly hoping she would throw her helmet just so I could see her throw like a girl LOL

I do like her because she is racking up those repair bills for Tony.... LOVE IT!!!

[Rice_slayer]

Guessing you hate stewart as much as me blown03? I was shocked Danika made it THAT far, me and my brother were placing bets on her being out by lap 50 lol. Stewart won't get a fine, he's nascar's fat love child.

I dont care for Pole Smoke or Pee Wee Busch..

Funny thing is everyone gave/gives Gordon crap saying he is gay, but can anyone show me a picture of Pole Smoke hans and hand or kissing a female other than his mom?

Like you I kind of play a game similar to Pass Time and guess how long Danica will last... I usual guess very low, but never in the first two laps..I may need to change my thoughts on this....

[Thunderbolt]

I was screaming at the tv for Danica to throw her helmet. I was gonna die laughing if she would have. I missed whatever pit screw up Edward's had. Man, did he drop like a rock at the end. Thanks to Sonoco E15 for him running out of gas. The last 100 or so laps of that race were the most entertaining I've seen at Bristol in quite awhile.

[falcongtho3]

Glad I wasn't the only one who was disappointed that Danica didn't giver her helmet a toss. (At least she could have used a different finger when she was pointing at the offending driver!)
Smokes actions may have made the highlight reel, but I hope he gets tagged with some kind of fine for acting out like he did.
