I never knew they had famous hotdogs. The best thing I liked about Martinsville was camping a stones throw from the track.

I hear so much about those. If that is your 6th one, I guess they are as good as they say they are.

[WalkrTexasRngr]

They tasted pretty good with beer plus at 2 bucks a dog, they're the cheapest thing there.

Truex was doomed whether that caution came out or not. Busch was catching him anyway. Then you go up against Busch on a re-start and forget it. You've already lost the race before the checkered flag flies.

Was that the NRA 500, as in National Rifle Association 500?

[Larry Warcup]

Yup, that NRA!

Good to see Kyle get that one...he deserved it! And you're correct, Truex was doomed before the yellow - the yellow just secured the race for Rowdy

[falcongtho3]

Kyle was killer on the restarts. He was leaving Gordon behind like nobodys business. It was at least good to see some of the Ford push towards the front for some respectable finishes, but they we never really a threat. What gives?

[gvervoren]

Kyle is always real good restarts.

Another epic weekend in motorsports

I hope KB makes a run at the chase this year!

For some reason, I just knew you'd come in dancing with a broom!

I was pleased to see the Interstate Batteries paint scheme.

I didn't watch the entire race, but everytime I checked in they were having commercials . Just glad that the #24 didn't win.

Sad to hear some guy shot himself in the head in the infield towards the end of the race over an argument.

That's just so ironic that it happened at the NRA 500. When you camp in the infield, your vehicle, camper or RV is'nt searched at all. You just hand the guy your infield tickets and they wave you through. I've never seen any kind of violence or known anyone that ever got ripped off when they've camped at a Nascar race. It's just a huge party and everyone seems to get along.

I live 1 mile from the martinsville speedway. Was that your DG Mach at the Suntrust Bank last weekend?

I say He had more issues besides an "argument" if he shot himself.

I parked cars for probably 15 yrs and have been in Martinsville my whole life. I also worked at a Pool Hall right behind the track and it had more than its share of race fan drunks. Especially, since the pool hall didnt close "UNTIL". Sometimes that was 3 am, sometimes that was 8 am the next morning. And as long as your 'favorite beverage' was in dixie cup or a drink can, you were ok. Bc we didnt know what you had. For the most part, everyone was there to have a good time and thats what they did.

With that many people, yes there was/are some incidents but nothing major. Most people like you said just want to have a good time. And are like one big family.

Of course he had more issues than that. Were talking Texas here. He lost his wife, his best hound dog, his favorite truck, and Toyota winning that race put him over the edge.

[not a gt]

So what happens to Truex's second place finish for not passing post tech inspection? I always thought it sucks in Nascar you can have a violation like that, but they take some points and you keep your place, think you should be dead last, shock rebounding or not, my humble opinion!

Get out the broom------to clean up what's left of Kyle's car.

[311-420]

You am funnay !!

[not a gt]

Freakin Matt Kenseth leaves Ford and wins at Kansas, I don't want to see him get crap, instead of a trophy, he can come get the hundreds of dollars worth of #17 stuff I have, at least when it came to a high dollar jacket, went genric with Ford Racing just in case.

[Thunderbolt]

That's what sucks about a driver, or say a player in the NFL. You never know where they'll be from year to year. All I have is a Dale Jarrett #88 UPS clock I got for free, and for an NFL jersey I just got a #66 Steelers jersey because no one famous is that number. It's just the year I was born.

[Thunderbolt]

Kenseth team gets absolutely slammed by Nascar for 1 connecting rod that was lighter than the others. You'll never see Hendrick's get nailed like that.

[falcongtho3]

Tough break for Matt &Co.

[311-420]

Not to take away from the connecting rod controversy, but does anyone remember when KB intentionally wrecked Ron Hornaday under caution? Nascar fined him, docked points and suspended him for the rest of the year. Last weekend Ron Hornaday did the exact same thing to Wallace Jr under caution. No suspension. Wtf is that about?

[Thunderbolt]

I heard about that from a guy at work, but I never watch a Nationwide or truck race unless I'm actually at the race. Just like always, it depends on who you are.
