All I really want is a good race that is not boring like last week.

Definitely. I like the camera, but I wish they would kill that damn gopher.


This one should be better than last week. I like this track design.

Todd bodine is another crackhead who shouldn't be allowed to race. All Bodine's are wreckers especially Geoff

He's got to get experience in there.
At least we know that Kenseth won't win three straight.:tu

Let him get experience in the Nationwide series. I am also glad that Kenseth won't win. I can't stand him

That was a dirt track move....sideways all through the turn.

Everyone is blowing up. Lets hope Gordon's engine holds up. I am a little worried since Mark Martin just blew up.

He tries hard to be a douchebag. When he was riding in the back of the truck around the Darlington Speedway (last year) during introductions, he was flipping everyone in the crowd off who was booing. He wants to be the bad guy.

Michael is the man! And he's not doing too bad this season... so far (today is the exception).

Ready for this one to be over with. I can't wait until we get a race that starts at 1:00pm EST.

Not necessarily. He won't win, but if he plays his cards right, he might can pull out a decent finish. Top 10 maybe. Aerodynamics aren't everything at this track. A veteran like him shouldn't have missed pit road though. Did it to himself.

elderboy02 03-01-2009 05:43 PM

Nascar and their "debris" cautions. That crap was on the apron. They just want a close race.

I like how the commentators kept focusing on the fact that no one in Kyle's high school liked him. Gee, I wonder why?:rolleyes:

Maybe because he was a year ahead of his age group in school and an excellent student, plus he knew what he wanted to do with his life? For the record, I am not a fan of his either.

Excelling in school isn't a reason for people to dislike you. I say it's because of is enormous ego. Kurt I can handle, but Kyle annoys me.

I don't like who won it either, but you are right. The last 50 laps really was interesting.

LOL at "say goodnight, Gracie". Like him or hate him, that's funny.

What's with all the pre-race telecast? I can see it for Daytona, but c'mon. Begin the telecast, sing the National Anthem, and get racing. 15 minutes is enough pre-race for 90% of the races out there. Hopefully it'll get better when they come back to the East coast.

:tpd: At both of the above statements. I was laughing my a$$ off when he said that.

The pre-race is a joke. The lame musical acts, digger cartoons, etc.

I miss the old ESPN coverage. They had pretty good prerace coverage. FOX prerace coverage is a joke. Only thing I liked about an hours worth of coverage is the Gordon interview.
I know it's Vegas, but can they please stop using the gambling references. It got very old, very quick. The race track isn't the casino.

Someone please go gopher hunting! Is it Digger season yet?

I too am tired of the corny Vegas jokes. "Hey it's Vegas, roll the dice" :hn

I also miss ESPN. You would turn on ESPN at 12:30, they would be singing the national anthem, give you the starting grid, and then GREEN FLAG! :tu
