It'll always be a mixed emotion track for me as it was the first track I went to to attend a race. I never did get to see the race as it was rained out for two days and I had to fly home that Monday. Fortunately the Dream Cruise the day before had spectacular weather, so the trip was a good one as far as I was concerned. It's a big place with a wide area to actually race, so I'll give it a thumbs up. I'd like to return one day for an actual race.
Go, go, go...anyone but JJ!!!

Almost always alot of green flag racing. Boring for watching on tv. I went to the Michigan race back in 2000. Was near the top in turn 3. Great seats. Could see the whole track without ever having to stand up. They ran 199 laps and a monster downpour canceled the last lap.

Typical COT race today. Car out front leads by 3+ seconds to the checkered. Zzzzzzzzzzzz....

The truck race at Darlington was good. That's a place that couldn't be more different than Michigan. A 27 foot groove compared to 5 wide racing.

Well it was boring just like I thought. Too wide, too smooth. Bristol next week ain't gonna be boring though I assure you! Lol. They're also gonna have that new grabber blue '11 5.0 pace car that someone posted on here they saw on the street in front of the sign shop after getting it's decals.

Yeah it will. 2 wide at Bristol is proof that Brian France is the Anti-Christ!

The last good Bristol race was August of 2003 before the Chase was implemented and EVERY driver was racing for the win and not trying to protect their points. And I was there.

I was talking to my dad afew days ago and he said he's going to the Bristol race. Tickets are no problem to find now, but it's not the same track it use to be. Worth going to say you've been there.

it looked like there was alot of empty seats at michigan yesterday. my sleeper pick for the week was david reagan pulled a 11th not bad.

There certainly WAS alot of hitting tonite! Lol. Set a record for most cautions!

Speaking of records, let's talk about the winner of tonights race Mr. KB! Most consecutive wins at Bristol, being 3 now. Also first person to start behind 12th position and win (he started in 35th ) There was even another record he broke tonight but I can't remember now. Too many to remember he sets so many. Go Rowdy!!!!!!!

Well in Cup it's DW with 7 consecutive wins. SEVEN

The truck race yesterday was pretty good. I really enjoyed the race prior to that, Ryan Newman won. Modifieds at Bristol must be an awesome ride. Some of the best cars in the country were going laps down from the pace the leaders kept up.

Newman in the 7

that's amazing. I really respect dw and his little bro. Even if dw got caught with a bottle in his car back in the mid 80's

Kyle's still a young gun. He's already set so many records. it's truly unreal for someone who just turned 25. Even ex-drivers who commentate will testify to how much talent the kid has, dw being one of them.

Tomorrow evening is nationwide. Time to go back racing!

Kyle can make things interesting, that's for sure. I think I would FAINT if a Roush car won though. Especially Edwards.

ford teams have taken a step in the right direction with the FR9 engine, but they still arent on the same level as chebby or toiletta. sadly.

Hope Carl wins tonight in NW

[G]

KB sucks. What a low class way to drive. He sure helped Carl in the standings but not as much as he helped himself. Those guys are gonna do the same thing for Brad that Rusty Wallace did for DW years ago. DW was jaws until Rusty wrecked him, then Rusty became the Azzclown for awhile.

Nice job by Sadler on some OLD tires. Jr did some nice driving tonight also, it would be great to see him have a few good runs.

[Thunderbolt]

It looked to me like Bush once again cut it too close when he passed someone and got turned into the wall. Both of them are aggressive drivers so it's a moot point. Bush keeps it interesting and makes me laugh.

[311-420]

Couple things:

1: Kyle was going to pass keselowski. It was inevitable even if keselowski didn't sign his own death wish. Lap times DONT LIE. one lap prior to that ordeal, Kyle was running an entire second faster lap times. Keselowski, if he really believed he had something for Kyle, should have lifted for a microsecond and taken the next 30+ laps to prove he could win. But he didn't have the car to win. He knew he didn't have a better car so he did the last thing he could to win which was put Kyle in he wall. Well Kyle put express delivery on that payback.

2: Keselowski did a good interview. Took it like a man and I respect the heck out of that. Props to Keselowski.

3: 10 wins in 20 NW starts this season. Incredible. 1 more for another all-time record!

[falcongtho3]

Unfortunately...he's still Kyle Busch. IF he could get past that, he might be someone respected and apreciated by more real fans. I'm sure Kurt is glad he's there racing, since it makes most people forget how much he wasn't liked when he was running for Jack.
