Well they got the whole race in and that big ol' cloud on the radar stayed away or at least put on the brakes....  

Congrats to broken feet for stick'n it out for the WIN !!      

JR gets a top ten and it has been some time for that!         Thanks JR  

The 48 & 22 have an issue to work out and to the 48:  ...."Nice Guys DO Finish Last" if ya gunna race him RACE HIM!    

Next week to the Glenn

[Texas Lawdog]

The nice thing is that we didn't have to see Wonder Wimp or 5 Time in the winner's circle. Carl still has the points lead.

[Arcey]

Is it over?

[Texas Lawdog]

I hope so.

[Arcey]

Hallelujah!!!!

The cries of many fans have been heard as Pocono Raceway announced Wednesday that it is shortening its races to 400 miles, beginning next year.

Pocono had run 500-mile Cup races ever since its first one in 1974.

“The 400 mile distance will make NASCAR racing at Pocono even more exciting,” said Pocono Raceway President and CEO , Brandon Igdalsky in a statement issued by the track.  “Race strategies will change, fuel mileage calculations will be altered and I firmly believe that our fans will be treated to outstanding racing at the 400 mile distance.”

[Texas Lawdog]

The new Ethenol fuel burns hotter but gets poor gas mileage. Just another problem for the crew chiefs to deal with.

[Arcey]

EFI'll throw it off too. If they've settled on it full time by then. They'll figure it out.

[Texas Lawdog]

I gotta a feeling that there be some concentrated testing before Daytona 2012.

RACE DAY  

     Another wet race and it looks like this time it's definatly rained out today but I got fooled last weekend; however, it depends on when they can get it started.    

A lot of miles to go on this goofy track....90 laps worth......  


GO 88

[yeti76620]

Next weekend Cup 'n Trucks go to Michigan and Nationwide go out of Country to the North..... Montreal to road course it again... 
      

GO 88

[Texas Lawdog]

I wish that we had Watkins Glen's rain down here in Texas. We didn't get enough yesterday morning.

[Major E A Sterner]

TLD,I wish you had the rain instead of us too,My basement was just starting to dry up and now I have more water in it from the rain...
Plus my Son didn't mow the lawn before the rain came and now I'll be able to rent it out for grazing land.

[Arcey]

Sorry, Maj.

DVRed the NNS yestitty. Just finished fast forwardin' thru it since the cup race washed.

6 lead changes among 2 drivers: Kurt Busch(i) 1-8; Kyle Busch(i) 9; Kurt Busch(i) 10-24; Kyle Busch(i) 25-49; Kurt Busch(i) 50-55; Kyle Busch(i) 56-77; Kurt Busch(i) 78-85. Two under green early on. Busch passed Busch 'n Busch passed Busch. The rest were gained or lost in the pits.

Heard it said if ya can't say nothin' nice don't say nothin'. Sayin' anything ain't necessary. In this case, it spoke for itself..............

Heard it said if ya can't say nothin' nice don't say nothin'. Sayin' anything ain't necessary. In this case, it spoke for itself..............

Wonder'd what was up...... hadn't received spit-balls from peanut gallery for awhile........ mus-ta recently got Religion....                

Good Night ya'll and see ya next weekend...  enjoy the race tomorrow as I'm a work'n fella so I'll see if I can't locate it on the Rad-doooo somewheres....  

[yeti76620]

Heard that the "Tasmanian Devil Racer" sat back and let "Broken Feet" and "Toad" race out on each other then take the lead on the last two laps....going to have to find the replay and watch it myself....   


Guess Brad's feet are close to being all better now so "Broken Feet" is get'n nondescript....  STILL pretty awesome race'n..... he's painfully push'n peddles to finish so well...   

Trucks then Nationwide today.......  WOW..... a Double Feature!        Happy Day!

[Texas Lawdog]

They have a bunch of torn up equipment in the Truck race. Montreal should be interesting, especially if it rains.

[Arcey]

Yeah. Rain. What I wanna see. That was a hoot last time. Windshields fogged up 'n the drivers couldn't see. Water blew in 'n shorted out ignition systems. After NASCAR figgered it wasn't working they killed it. Killed a buncha cars too. But it was a great thing ta watch. This'n here's about like watchin' paint dry.

[Leo Tanner]

I took it akin ta watchin grass grow but it's all the same.  I like to play "count the yellow flags" it is a fun game.

[yeti76620]

Look'd up The Glenn race and what I heard wasn't really what I seen on tape....  Look's like Ambrose flat OUT RACE'D the children.....         What 'bout Reuty.... wow ... that was the second time I've seen him tumble'n violently....  gonna have ta start calll'n him "Milkshake"... yeowzee..    



Truck race today was interesting....  didn't hurt my feelings at all to see "track debris" waste Toad's engine and what's up with "Oh Canada" before the Michigan race?  Thought that Nationwide was roll'n first 'till I got up to look.....  Maybe Michigan wants to secede to Canada?  


Road Course Race'n is "elongated" short track race'n.....  The "rights" give those who normally only turn "left" fits thus out comes the tempers as well as a plethora of other issues to give cause of "dandelion" count'n and pigment cure'n 'til things get cleaned up....        Better then the truck race today...

Suppose that "LEO's" need self applied cattle-prods or stun-guns for their satisfying excitement?        

Race Day Tomorrow!      

GO 88

[Texas Lawdog]

There was a lot of tore up cars and trucks this weekend so far. The sheet metal boys will be busy next week reskinning the wrecked ones. I haven't heard anything about the Michigan race for today. Michigan has always been a track that the Fords did well on. The track is over 40 years old, we have the sister track down near Texas A&M. I went to some NASCAR races down there in the early 70's.  The owners didn't maintain the track very well and NASCar pulled out in 79 or 80. I haven't been down there since. The track is still there, but I don't know if it is being raced on.

[Arcey]

That stretches the memory. College Station? I think Roush did some testin' there recently.

Biffle 'n Kenseth have the front row. The other two Roush cars are 7th  'n 22nd at the house Penske built.  The Woods' car lines up 20th. Petty's are 16th 'n 29th. The Jenkins cars 27th 'n 39th. Rest of the Fords are likely start 'n parks.

[yeti76620]

  RACE DAY   
All of HMS start'n in the top ten 'cept the 48.....      Guess Chad missed this track and has some work to do to keep the 48 to the front....   

The 88 start'n in the 8 spot sounds kind-ah lucky and I'm thinking JR is going to break this loss streak like it began with a win here by beating the Fords on fuel mileage!......        

GO 88 

[Leo Tanner]

They's just startin out.  JJ is already havin trouble, I hope he don't cause a wreck. 

[Arcey]

My, oh my...................

A strung out field 'n wouldn'tcha know it, a phantom debris caution. Heck, the 88 ain't close ta gettin' lapped yet, NASCAR. 'N they wonder why there's so many empty seats there.

Time ta get ta the gun stuff out in the attached 'n tune in MRN.

[yeti76620]

DANG....  Toad wins again....  Good on him.....     

17 car the only top 10 Ford and most of the top 10 finishers are bow-ties....

Good show for ol' Ken Schrader.... finished with a clean car and just one lap down....   

BAD MOVE on JR to come in for tires on the G-W-C....  Should'a stayed out with the skins he had on and got a better finish...  

Bristol next week for all... Wed Trucks, Fri Nationwide, Sat Cup.....  All at night...

Ya'll have a great week....
