  Yah i was cracking up, when they were listening to the radio conversation with Jr.
• Speedofsand

  

  I lol'd when I saw the guy in my pics holding the wrench, looking at Jr drive by.

  Speedofsand - do you work for Nascar? That would be a sweet place to watch a race.

  RACE DAY!!! C'mon #17! I am in a fantasy league on Nascar where you have to follow a salary cap and pick any 5 drivers. I picked Kurt Busch, Kyle Busch, Jeff Burton, Regan Smith, and Michael Waltrip (Who I thing sucks but he was $1).

  As long as you're only keeping Waltrip for this race, that's a good choice.

  LOL!!!! I say he finishes top 5.

  I have a question.
  
  Is it mandatory for all drivers to run the twin 125s? I don't understand why Gordon and the 88 even race in those. If they are already on the front row they can't do anything but get worse and in Jrs case way worse. Gordon had to repair a shit ton of body damage. Why make these guys run the 125s?

  143, then causes the big one even though he is already 5 laps down

  No, it's not mandatory, but they do it for the extra practice I'd imagine. Especially this year with the new track surface, they don't know how its going to be during a race, and you can't find out just by running practices.

  Pretty fucking stupid. All risk little reward
• ts1227

  

  Also, when NASCAR changes the car every 5 hours for a week straight, it necessitates practice.

  Damn it Waltrip. This is why you suck.
• Curly J

  

  Looks like Mikey is 2 for 2. The Dinger did a nice job of driving around it.
• shook_17

  

  jr is looking solid.

  Nothing stupid about it when the track is so different than it's been in the past and the cars are so much different. Need all the practice you can get.
• gerb131

  

  Robby Gordon is going to win.
• GoJPM!

  

  Way to go Jamie Mac. At least you're falling back to hunt for your teammate, it's the least you can do.
• GoChiefs

  

  That was a good wreck. JPM and Biffle. Can't ask for much more. Kurt having to dive down pit road though.
• ts1227

  

  Robby Gordon caused a caution, the race is now official.
• Tiger2003

  

  This is going to be a wild last 25 laps!!
• Jughead

  

  Not quite yet. Carl Edwards hasn't caused or been in a spectacular wreck yet, he always seems to at the plate races.
• Tiger2003

  

  What a save by Kyle Busch.
