Join us this weekend for some racing on hallowed ground.
God bless our troops, families and nation.

This thread is dedicated to the men and women in our country's armed forces defending our freedoms.
Thank you for your service.
Wow Great Clips bringing in a new engine. This should be good.
I bet Roush will set them straight on that number.
Is anyone else wondering why JJ failed tech?
JJ failed tech huh? That's about right. I got gun shy of Flash and changed to JJ.
Oh oh. Who else ya got.
BTW they just showed Spencer spinning in 4 and sliding down pitroad. That would be disastrous if it happened during the race.
Showing JJ running up pit road looking for his car now he's running to the garage.
Back to Busch, do you have any info on John Hayden and the #85?
If that had happened on race day or during practice, there could be more than just a couple of people killed.
Indianapolis needs to re-configure the entrance into pit road.
Smoke, MM, Mikey, DJ, Rusty, Nemacheck, and Riggs.
That reminded me of Mikey's old commercial about being at the wrong track.LOL
Some surprises out of IRP - With a couple cars left to go, your top 5 is David Stremme, Ron Hornaday, Robert Pressley, Tracy Hines and Jason Keller.
Hornaday ran good last night. We'll see if he can carry on through tonight.
They keep removing the scroll with the qualifying results so far.
I will keep looking. It's terrible that both qual are on at the same time.
Yep like dude where's my car?????
Looks like Busch qualifying is over. We had 47 drivers take time, and John Hayden in the #185 (which was scheduled to go out 16th). Line-up shortly, as Reed Sorenson turns in the fast lap of the day last with a 110.943.
Now that's NOT surprising.
That's a good lineup ya don't need JJ. :)
I wonder how tall the fence is at Indy?

From that list of sponsors, jees what's next, Trojan Prophalitics, Preperation H, MaxiPads?
Spencer's slide into pitroad should be an eye opener for the powers that be at Indy.
There are stands right behind the pits there!!
I sure hope Nascar takes a look at that.
