    Hey Lug Nuts!

    I'll be here for a little while...

    Kristen, you've got a work party? I get to go work! LOL

    Hey Dwindy - I think I'd rather be partying than working... =)

  8. SpeedBeagleMay 7, 2011 at 4:58 PM

    Yeah, Kurt crashed. Kristen jinxed him :o)

    Kristen, this isn't one of Happy's better tracks, despite him finishing 2nd in 2003.

  10. klvalusMay 7, 2011 at 4:59 PM

    I did jinx him on twitter I was congratulating him on his 3rd place run in practice and 2 min later wreck! doh!

    I understand Penske had 4 shop engineers in addition to their regular crew at Darlington this week to get the double deuce in proper order...

    ReplyDelete
  12. klvalusMay 7, 2011 at 5:01 PM

    What I heard as well Dwindy - problem is they all have completely opposite ideas on how to tune the car...me thinks too many cooks in the kitchen but what do I know.

    Kurt clearly not handling any better after that slide off turn 2!

  13. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 5:02 PM

    Speaking of Happy, he's got a good car tonight.

    Jon - any new thoughts on your ability to come to Sonoma?

    ReplyDelete
  15. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 5:07 PM

    Kristen, I'm going to try to swing it, but I'm not making any guarantees. I'll probably know in the next two weeks. But it's looking like a possibility.

    ReplyDelete
  16. klvalusMay 7, 2011 at 5:08 PM

    well at least its still a possibility! I just got my creds approved so I am all set...whew!

    poor JJ Yeley...

    So Newman's pro-tornados?

    ReplyDelete
  20. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 5:13 PM

    He always seems to run well in the Tornados scheme.

  21. Dwindy1May 7, 2011 at 5:15 PM

    jon...

    You got a paint scheme cookin' for Kevin?

    ReplyDelete
  22. klvalusMay 7, 2011 at 5:16 PM

    I was a bit surprised Tornado's didnt use the horrible weather as a donation/PR event. Kurt's PR guy still has no power...

  23. klvalusMay 7, 2011 at 5:17 PM

    Carl has splitter on the brain - better refocus!

    have to say I've missed a fair chunk of the race...watching the Vancouver/Nashville NHL playoff instead, lol

    Kyle about to put his brother a lap down--and thar he goes!

  41. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 6:39 PM

    Nice save by Truex--too bad he flattened the right rear tire.

    ReplyDelete
  42. tezgm99May 7, 2011 at 6:40 PM

    unlucky he stopped after the cone so had to go around again.

    ReplyDelete
  43. SpeedBeagleMay 7, 2011 at 6:48 PM

    and once again we witness the power of the Beagle's voodoo :o)

    ReplyDelete
  44. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 6:49 PM

    SB, can we see the Beagle's voodoo hex the Duck to a lap-down finish??

    ReplyDelete
  45. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 6:53 PM

    Kyle Busch in for an unscheduled pit stop.

    ReplyDelete
  46. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 6:56 PM

    Which means the Duck is out front. BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

    Caution out for JJ's wreck.

  50. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 7:10 PM

    DAMN!! Vickers and Ragan wreck! Popped Vickers' car like a can opener!

  51. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 7:17 PM

    YEAH BABY!! GO #29!!

    ReplyDelete
  52. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 7:21 PM

    Is Marcos a magnet for wrecks tonight? None of those wrecks have been of his doing! Logano's the third driver that's gotten loose and made contact with Ambrose!

    ReplyDelete
  53. tezgm99May 7, 2011 at 7:23 PM

    he's a pinball wizard ;)

    ReplyDelete
  54. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 7:29 PM

    Yeah, and he's still having a solid run! As for Harvick, he's checking out on the field now.

    ReplyDelete
  55. tezgm99May 7, 2011 at 7:46 PM

    what was Menard thinking, running over his own pit guy! :o

    ReplyDelete
  56. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 7:46 PM

    I hope Kahne picks the inside, but I think he'll pick the outside. If he picks the inside, Harvick will sing "Blue Bayou" as he passes him.

    ReplyDelete
  57. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 7:47 PM

    I think the pit guy made a last-second decision to clean the grill off the 27 and Menard was not aware of it.

    ReplyDelete
  58. CR_RacingMay 7, 2011 at 7:47 PM

    Pit road is not a friendly place to be tonight

    ReplyDelete

    Definitely not, CR!

    dang, Nashville force a game 6 with a win in Vancouver :(

  61. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 8:04 PM

    Tez, won't matter--whoever wins this series will lose to San Jose. I think this is San Jose's year to win the Cup.

  62. tezgm99May 7, 2011 at 8:11 PM

    I don't know, Jon...both Boston and Tampa look mighty impressive too.

  63. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 8:12 PM

    Jr with a pit road penalty--tough break.

    ReplyDelete
  64. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 8:13 PM

    Tez, I HATE Boston!! I DON'T want them to win the Cup!!

    I'm like that with Chicago! :P

    DAMN, Edwards in the lead!

    I got my trifecta picks backwards if Carl wins this, lol

    another EC engine, what is up with that this year?

    ReplyDelete
  72. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 8:27 PM

    I hope Edwards stays out!

    ReplyDelete
  73. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 8:27 PM

    Either way, Edwards is a sitting Duck.

    ReplyDelete
  74. tezgm99May 7, 2011 at 8:29 PM

    maybe not, lots of others pitted too.

    ReplyDelete
  75. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 8:30 PM

    I'd have done the opposite of Edwards. If he pits, stay out. If he stays out, pit.

    ReplyDelete
  76. jon_464May 7, 2011 at 8:38 PM

    Kyle Busch got into Harvick, who got into Bowyer. Busch flat out wrecked the two RCR cars. Per Harvick's crew chief: we'll get him (Kyle Busch) another time.
