Poconocchio race chat

I haven't seen it posted on here yet so here we go....please don't shoot me, ofi and SB *laugh*

A few things to watch for:

- can Tony Stewart do the sweep (ever since Denny Hamlin did it in 2006 as a rookie, no one else has)?
- was last week the start of the typical 'Jimmie Johnson surge' as he pushes to make NASCAR history and go 4-in-a-row?
- can Juan Montoya put the disappointment of last week behind him and take his first win since 2007?
- can we have yet another first time winner with weather being a factor as usual here?

    Hate to say it, but the surge is a tidal wave. JJ can already clear off some shelf space for this year's trophy. Arrgghh!

    Have my weather channel radar set to Long Pond. Major rain headed toward the track.

    Tez:

    Good questions to ponder. It looks like the weather will play a part in this weeks race. Thinking in that vein leads me to think Mikey Waltrip might win this one if it is shortened.

    Of course Johnson might rack up another win or Stewart might do it. Then there is Kyle Busch but you have better odds at picking him to wreck or blow up the engine.

    Who knows, this might be the weekend that Logano shines.

    No way are they going to keep this track dry if it keeps drizzling with rain and the clouds look like they can drop more at one time. Its a wash out today,, Again I bring up that tracks with 2 dates in the schedule should have to put lights up at the track.

    If they get this going its going tobe a short race which is a good thing, But with no rubber down it will be a follow the leader and make up spots in the pits.lol

    yeah, sorry about missing the trifecta, SB. We had a tender close on Friday so I was running around most of the week getting all that sorted and totally forgot about it :(

    NASCAR.com reporting that Mike Helton says a decision will have to be made in the next 15 minutes on whether or not to call the race.

    David Ragan barely hits the wall and they throw a caution....they didn't do that earlier when Ambrose hit the wall harder so I can only assume they wanted to bunch the field up *rolls eyes*

    What the ???? I'm trying to follow the race on Lap by Lap. This is what? the 3rd or 4th caution in as many laps??? Is NASCAR deliberately trying to get JJ back on the lead lap???

    ReplyDelete
  24. SpeedBeagleAugust 3, 2009 at 12:42 PM

    And yet another caution which puts JJ back on the lead lap
