I still am not sold on this new format. Oh, it’s OK but last few races you basically have to keep a lap to lap score card. No time for beer, BBQ or potty breaks, LOL!

What’s with these flared our fenders like #22 has. NASCAR may have to make another rule.

Mrs p6 and I were just talking...ya know what’s gonna happen? The final 4 will DNF and DANICA will win Homestead. D-bots will overshadow the Sprint Cup Championship.

Speaking of Danica that’s a funny GoDaddy commercial with har and Tony Stewart. Nice to see Tony with a smile (or smirk) on his face again.

That started in the Chase and NASCAR is just letting it ride so as "not to make a rule change in the middle of the Chase"

Why?! They change everything else on a weekly or hourly basis...

Seems like hourly or turn by turn!

I’m actually pretty well set for today. Got my beer by the couch, pizza a couple of steps away, kicked back on the reclining part of the couch and relaxing in my...kilt.

And since mrs p6 just went with daughter I can let the cans pile up.

AJ Almindinger into the wall T4...

Sooo...the way the announcers are speaking of Gordon wins this race is he the unofficial Champion? He missed the chance by 1 point thanks to Newman.

Hey sports announcers...HE LOST BY 1 POINT...HE LOST! Get over it...

ooops...mrs p6 just came home and is looking at the pile of cans on the table...my exposed alarmingly white legs...it’s EVIL EYE TIME!
