    Chiefs, my ppv sched shows it until midnight. I'm thinking 3 or 4 heats and a main event with lots of interviews. I think it will wrap up at 10 or 11:00
    My dad was at this a few years ago, Tony announced toward the end of the night he was donating ALL gate money and paying his expenses from the concession stands. Earl Baltes always said 'If I could just sell one more hot dog, I might break even.'

    Will be watching..might just have to DVR and watch tomorrow though. Gotta get up early for work! :p Yeah, your dad is braver than me! I won't EVER go to one of these. Just jam packed full of NASCAR fans. Not there to watch the real racing..just there to see the drivers..great for charity..bad if you are just a fan of the racing and not the drivers!

    Good times. I have been in the past but not this year. The mud will make it fun but for those going I hope they squared the parking and especially the bathroom situation away. I never waited so long for a port-a-jon in my life. I hung it out in an empty 22oz and kept drinking and waiting for the real bathroom.

    They are gonna destroy some cars tonite. JJ 48 already busted a radiator in hot laps. Kanaan, Pastrana, and Carmichael have never raced LM's on dirt. Kanaan's never even been to a dirt race.
  • GoChiefs
    JJ cracks the wall in practice.

    this was a few years ago, at Eldora They are both there tonite. I was at Talladega about 5 years ago, went to the short track across the street and was thrilled when I saw 71 year old Red Farmer on the track. He was awesome, moved up to 3rd in the A main, but contact with a car broke his tie rod and he spun out with 2 to go.

    I have no idea what Marcos Ambrose just said, lol.
  • GoChiefs
    These introductions are the most unorganized thing I have ever seen! LOL
  • Speedofsand
    Yeah I had to flip over to hockey for a few minutes, I didn't miss anything. LMAO at Larry Mac ... Tony "Chiapet" Stewart
  • Speedofsand
    damn kyle has a helluva car from Scott Bloomquist
    Kahne going to a backup, no time for an engine change. The guy's dream car should be even better.
  • Speedofsand
    wtf ! Reutimann loses a wheel on the pace lap.
