Not a prob. My updates will stop between 3:25 and roughly 4:00 Central, but everybody else will take care of you.

[steveegg]

Me neither. To me, that will always be Rusty's ride.

I REALLY hope they don't bring out Midnight for Rubberhead; that would be the ultimate sacriledge.

[steveegg]

Skinner's in the pits, they're working on the engine. At least they haven't gone green yet, so he still has a chance of making the Daytona 500.

[budman_2001]

Next time by.........

[steveegg]

1 to go to green - Skinner's back on the track (they fixed the throttle), and LaJoie's also been on and off pit road.

[steveegg]

BOOGITY! BOOGITY! BOOGITY! Let's go qualifying racing, boys!

[steveegg]

The Other Sadler's off the pace, but he's guaranteed a spot.

The Northurn Burton leads lap 1 of 60.

[steveegg]

It was a shifting problem for Hermie.

2x2 for the first 25 drivers; Belmont, LaJoie, Gunselman (all must finish well or go home) and The Other Sadler out of the lead draft.

[budman_2001]

2 X 2 10 rows deep for four laps now.....nobody's makin up a thing.

[budman_2001]

JJ movin' up ..... started last----now on #8's bumper.

[steveegg]

Menard hung up high, lost Jr. Now Jr's trying the high line, and he's got help from JJ and Menard.

[tubebender]

Is this what the no bump rule does to racing...

[steveegg]

Single-file back to 8th (DJ), then 2x2. 8 laps of 60 in.

[budman_2001]

First 10 now single file....2 x 2 for six rows behind there.

[budman_2001]

FR had a server burp there.....long while, say 20 minutes or so....

Pit stops at L29 following Menard's RF tar blowout....Jr's RF tar on cords....

Back to Yellow---rain on the backstretch.....

Jr: Still a lot of wheel in this car (complaining big)....

Red Flag---rain.

[glock rocks]

Is this what the no bump rule does to racing...

Bump!

[flutters]

Thank goodness it's back up. It's frustrating with no FR, TV, nor beer. :-)

[steveegg]

We got almost 30 laps in before Paul Menard brought out caution #1 with a blown tire and a trip into the wall. Cuation #2 and the red flag is now out for rain.
