Check out Johnny Benson's wife.

I've never seen her. Johnny hasn't raced Sprint Cup in a coon's age.

Let's just say she doesn't fit the NASCAR driver's wife mold.

Talladega is almost upon us.

I love watching 'Dega. I find it better than Daytona b/c Talladega is wider

And faster.

At least JJ didn't win!
With M. Waltrip not racing full time, I'm torn between Jr. and Gordon. I'm happy to see Gordon getting pissed off with JJ. About time someone is doing something about him.

I loved seeing Jimmie Johnson wreck. I cannot stand him winning all the time. He is so boring too.

I think Gordon needs to punt Jimmie into the wall at Richmond to show him that he isn't going to take his sh!t

I hope Gordon does too. That was not a class act for Jimmie to do that to Gordon. Totally uncalled for.

I'd like to see that as well, but Hendrick probably won't let that happen. That's the problem with teams in racing.

It was nice seeing Jimmie Johnson out of the race

But Gordon screwed himself out of another win. That was his race to lose, and he did so. He'll get there eventually this year.

Yeah, Gordon was so close again. He must have had his supermodel wife on his mind when he missed pit road

Anyone watch Showtime's Inside NASCAR? This show is great. I still miss Mikey, Ken, Kenny, Johnny, and Alan on This Week in NASCAR though.

[elderboy02]

I watch it every once in a while. It is a good show.

I loved Joey Logano's comments post-race where he said DeLana Harvick wears the firesuit in the relationship

I wish the crew members would get the heck out of the way and Logano could have "talked" to Harvick. I thought it was hillarious how Logano's dad ran up to Joey and pointed to Harvick as if to say "Go get 'em son!"

[Starscream]

I would have loved for someone other than Phill Parsons to have interviewed Harvick post race. He didn't push the issue. I would have loved to hear what Kevin really thought.

Why was the 29 crew acting as security? I like Logano, but seriously, what could he have done? He barely weighs 100lbs. They should have let him get up to Harvick. I seriously doubt he would have swung at him. Logano needs to step it up and quit letting everyone run over him. Pull a Kyle Busch and storm into Harvick's trailer and sit and wait.

Great finish to an otherwise boring race. As much as I don't like FOX's coverage of NASCAR, TNT made me wish FOX carried NASCAR all year.

I absolutely hate Pocono. Take one or both of their races and give it to Kentucky Speedway!

I also agree that the reporter was a wimp and didn't push the issue with Harvick.

I want to see more short track racing. They shut most of them down in the 90s. Take one from Pocono and give it to a short track. I miss the Rock and N. Wilkesboro. Don't shut Pocono down completely; at least it isn't a cookie cutter 1.5 mile speedway. Atlanta, Charlotte, Michigan, Texas, Kansas, Chicago... they're all the same track.
