DUDE youre so lucky! Nice to see jr on the pole. anyone else watching? That little baby kyle busch was in an interview after jr got out of his car from qualifying and he said "i guess im not as important as dale jr to get my own camera man" cuz that bitch wasnt on camera while being interviewed.

man what a wreck!!!!!!! so thankful he walked away. 10 yrs ago he probably wouldnt have. i am glad the COT is safe, even if it is almost as ugly as rosie o'donnell

jr sounded like he was driving a rocket ship man. what a qualifying lap!!! 28.28!!

We're just going up for the Nationwide race on Sat..

Supposed to be heading out to Talladega at the end of the month for the Nationwide and Cup races.

It's a damn shame that Big E had to die (among others) for all of those wonderful safety devices to have done their job today. At least NASCAR has safety right now.

Wasn't planning on going at all. Was supposed to go the IHRA Tx Nationals here in San Antonio this weekend but my cousin in Austin got some free tickets, kinda last minute, for just the nationwide race through his work. So we scrapped the drag racing.

My first race was this past Nov at TMS, for just the busch race. Got to see the cup cars practice and that sounded awesome. Can't wait for Talladega.

That was one of the worst wrecks I've seen. I was seriously worried. Hookin dead right into turn one right at 200 mph is not good at all. Thank goodness for the HANS and the safer barrier.


BTW, Dale Jr. sucks.

that was pretty ugly, but it wasn't quite as hard of a hit as the one Gordon took a couple of weeks ago.

The COT has definately done its job this year. I can think of three different times when we would have had some major injuries in the older cars.
