I hope Tony wins the race so he'll cut his flippin hair!!!!! Anybody hear the quick interview with JR? He seemed upset about something. LET'S GO RACING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Track Pass is free this weekend. At least for DirecTV customers. That is for those who aren't getting hammered with snow. We might be heading upstairs watching on rabbit ears in the bedroom.

I was happy for Ryan Newman!Not to happy were Jimmie finished. I have to say overall I was pretty board watching this race,it's just not as fun as it used to be,IMO!

I hate to say it, but this race was boring to me except for the last 19 laps. Although I'm a Jr. fan, I was happy for Ryan. The best part of the television coverage was Michael McDonald singing "Takin' It To The Streets" at the pre-race ceremonies. Reminded me of the great Doobie Brothers concerts I went to in the 70s.

There was massive screaming and hurled insults towards Juan Pablo when he knocked Clint out of contention.

LOL...did that happen at your house Kona? Or at the track? I'm not unhappy that Ryan Newman won, although of course I would have rather it been Tony. But one thing -- they need to start these races earlier! There was too much pre-race crap. Why do they do this now? The races used to start around 12:30 or 1:00 CST -- I'm sure it is worse for those of you on the east coast...they must run until 7 p.m. at night! I always miss the end of the races (live - of course I TIVO them) because I have to leave and go to choir practice.

Roxip,Couldn't agree more why do they start them so late now?I'm on the east coast and it's awful.I always miss some of the race cause I have to cook dinner in the middle of it.Or something like that. We always have screaming and insults coming from our house whenever Juan Pablo is involved!LOL!

did that happen at your house Kona? All over our den, spilling out to the living room where he went to jump up & down a few times. At least he got the points for the 1 lap he led. And this time he didn't have to be on his roof to cross the finish line (that was one hella slide last year - should be on every highlight reel).

We just observe mourning every time the #24 or the #48 win a race around my house. I just do the heavy sigh thing if they are leading and go to choir practice early. I'm definitely not a Kurt Busch fan nor a Ryan Newman fan, but I was happy to see Penske blue going across the finish line at Daytone for Roger Penske's sake. Would have been MUCH better if Rusty Wallace had been able to do it first. Yes, I still miss Rusty.

I only feel that way about the 48 car, Roxip. Jeffy's my BIG DADDY... well he's that beautiful Ella's big daddy anyway!! LOL I wish Tony could have won when Jeff was out of it. I can live w/Ryan winning. At least it wasn't Kyle. I cannot get used to seeing him in brown! I also thought the race was boring except for the last 10-15 laps. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!! The only good thing about the races starting late is you can do church in the morning (or the late service for those who don't like to get up early..ahem! lol) Roxip - I don't know how Rusty was as a driver, but he hasn't endeared himself to me in the broadcast booth. He really bugged me last year and I'm glad they've pulled him from calling the races this year. He couldn't hide his partiality and I think someone who is calling the race should be. Here's to hoping Fontana is more exciting!

Rusty was one of those guys it didn't matter if he won or lost, but there were probably more drivers I wanted to lose before Rusty. Then Kansas Speedway 2001. Showed up to sign autographs after the Busch race drunker than a skunk. No big deal? I guess not, except that this particular autograph session was being hyped for kids to come get a free gift & autograph. Lost all respect for him then. His voice grates on me worse than fingernails on a chalkboard.

Kenny is to die for! Hubby had a chance a couple of years ago - for work - to go down to Texas Speedway. Kenny and his wife showed hubby and coworker all around the pit area, garage, his hauler, a couple of other haulers. Said Kenny and his wife were the nicest people. [I'm sure Rusty is very nice and hubby used to be a huge Rusty fan prior to the above mentioned incident.] Hubby was also allowed to be in the pits during the truck race - can't remember which driver - and Kenny's pit during the Busch race. Hubby even got to do the pit stop sign thingy a couple times during the truck race. He was in heaven. When hubby was first introduced to Kenny, his coworker had a bunch of hats he wanted Kenny to autograph, and Kenny's PR guy took them and said he'd get them back to him. Then hubby held out his St. Louis Cardinal's cap to get signed. PR guy took it, Kenny took it from him and moved hubby over to the corner of the room and they chatted about the Cards and racing at a small dirt track in Iowa that Kenny loves, and hubby grew up near by. Hubby mentioned the name of the raceway, and Kenny said the name of the town, and started talking about some other places nearby. Kenny's PR guy just threw up his hands and said that when he saw the Cards cap he knew the schedule was blown but he didn't realize by how much.

Great story Serate! I loved Kenny and his family when they were on the Nascar reality show a few years back. They showed his wife ironing while he was going out to work and visit some of the rental houses they have around Mooresville. They are so down to earth and he is just such a funny guy!

That was a scary wreck with Mears...glad he's o.k. Oh No! The GMD is hobnobbing with the #48 gang....that can only bring JJ bad luck. Hope Jeffy can keep up the lead and bring home a victory.

I love Kenny Wallace, too! When he laughs, I laugh!! He's so funny! Mike seems like the quiet one of the bunch compared to the other two. That was a scary wreck with Casey. I was out getting dinner on the plates and heard the noise and came running in to see the repeat. Arrrgh. And..this crazy person kept tuning in everytime Fox kept saying they would go back to racing at 11 EST, then 12 EST, then 1 EST..then 2... and then it was called! Arrrgh!!! I reset the timer for all these goofy shows on Fox tomorrow. I also hope Jeff can get back up there where he was. He was on fire! It was so great to see him running so great after last weekend. Go #24 Team.......... bring it home for us!!

Are you serious? I turned on the channel last night around 9 pm and I thought they were actually racing. I never turned back because I forgot about it because of the Oscars. I guess they must have been showing old highlights. Those poor fans that paid all that money to go to the race. P.S. Who is in the lead?

Caution, Carl Edwards. After the pit stop it's a 1 stop race. Lap 169, pit stops.
