I hope Newman races better than he sings, after that Coke commercial.

I have no idea what that refers to.

Can I take Denny Hamlin to win this race? Total screwjob ending is going to happen. Kurt takes out his brother Kyle and Hamlin jumps in Jimmie Johnson's car to capture the checkered flag. SWERVE!

Anytime they don't show what was picked up off the track. It is a bogus caution. Like this one.

But of course not. The racing action makes it impossible to fix a race. The action can be tailored, but only to the benefit of all involved and those great fans at home!!

By the way jackref, the:

Aaron's Lucky Dog Free Pass

is given to the first driver closest to, but not on the lead lap. Right Chair?

Back to you.......

That's exactly right. Drivers call also not pit under caution can skip pitting and get waived around, regaining a lap.

Green flag! Truex and Kyle B lead them off.

I'm thinking in his drugged out decade of the '70s he probably won a couple and doesn't remember.

She's simply laying low and plotting her next move. She'll be there in the end.

I would've preferred "she'll get it in the end".

Thank you.

So I read that Stenhouse is going to have a tear-off main sponsor decal next week. I wonder how that sponsor will look in the garage.

Lap 70 of 334.

Truex Jr. and Kyle B neck and neck for the lead. 7-time, Gordon and Kenseth Top 5.

32 cars on the lead lap. Danica is the 5th car one lap down. She is only 7 spots ahead of Houston Homer, who did not enter the race.

Well friends, and KS, it's been fun. But I soon have to leave for a fundraiser.

I keep telling people I don't need the money. But, it just seems rude to say no.

Bobby Labonte needs to listen to his doctors and get back out on the track.

I am really struggling with the flow of the race. I don't think all the close ups and quick cuts help. Can't they just have a larger pan out view so you can see more cars in relation to each other on the track to really see what is going on?

In a racing-related sidebar, our local dirt track may not open this year, and is for sale.

My buddy was severely injured there last May in a Modified race, and recently took a step backwards in his rehab

And I want another Dr. Pepper 10 and some of that testosterone deodorant
