Have a GREAT weekend, everyone!

God Bless You, and God Bless America!!!

new baby bumpers going to be used

That'll give Kyle even more reason to fill the thing with water and stock it with trout.

I'll wager we're going to see a lot of cautions.

XM did an interview with Kurt Busch this week, he said he walked the track and thinks it'll narrow the groove and "slide jobs" will happen alot, if the drivers are not polite there should be alot of cautions.

[countrydummy]

lol on the fish! I guess I missed the dang dead line again to change my drivers! I have got to get it into this hard head of mine to chane on Wednesday nights! lol

Yes, I do believe there will be lots of crashes myself!

You are boldly dispalying sever ignorance. Go away.

The post above is the ENTRIES list.

[WestCoastGal]

Hi Guys, thanks for the Lady In Black ping PRB. I had a hard time deciding on my team this week, but decided to stick with my first decision rather than go back and forth like last week and ultimately pick the wrong "A" driver. Not to mention the one I took out won the race!!

For anyone with trackpass first practice is up today at 11:20 est. NO TV until qualifying of course, which I will miss. :-( Darn that having to work thing again.

This new deal with the safer barrier should prove interesting.

[Pete-R-Bilt]

Thanks, this track always brings back memories of the good old days when Earnhardt Sr., Rusty, Elliot and the others could bump and grind the whole race and nobdy got put on probation for the rest of the year.

also, when i trucked all 48 i had a layover back there on a weekend and got to visit OC raceway some locals adopted us and i had a GREAT time.

race fans are such wonderful people

[Pete-R-Bilt]

Oops!

me too.

i hope last weeks guys do well sunday.
