Please pray on this day, and every day, for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm's way around the world in defense of our liberty, and for the families awaiting their safe return.

I hope you don't mind the black bumper (if it stays on :-)

I'm glad I switched out 93 Octane for the risky Sadler.

[umgud]

Well, it wasn't the big one, and my guy wasn't wrecked. Knock on wood.

[steveegg]

There must've been pitting while my local station was busy yakking about the Amber Alert for the 5th time. Race off... 8 15 10 17 48 97 09 22 30 29

Not as hard as the real Kenseth please.

Hmiel Spotter "Jr 10 laps up on the 48 and 4 laps lead on the 24. They are the only ones who can catch you for most lead laps."

Eufy "Body got towed a little bit on the 48. Jr "Tell Mikey if he's willing to go when the line is coming I will jump in front of him. We can stop the line. Seemed like he wanted to run the bottom, I'll go down there. He's doing what he thought I was gonna do." I'm just saying if I'm in the middle of the corner, it will keep the ones in the back from forming up and coming on."

Pit strategery - 2 vs 4; everyone supposedly is a couple laps short on fuel.

N-BC actually caught a green flag with a couple seconds to spare.

[ChefKeith]

I'm back

[steveegg]

The "R&D" DEI car in the process of blowing up; glad I took the Slow Casey instead.

[ChefKeith]

Thank You.

What's with the "?"

Ya think We changed Our minds or something?

[alancarp]

My question: for those taking 2 tires -- did they have enough time in the stall to get a full tank? Will that throw an advantage to the 4 tire cars?

[steveegg]

I hope so - 2/10/17/33 (no help)

[steveegg]

Allegedly everyone's short on gas, so the advantage will eventually be to the guys who took 4 tires.

[ChefKeith]

They can do fuel w/2 tires faster than w/4 tires

[steveegg]

Team DEI up front, Team Roush almost right behind, Flash needs to find a teammate (he left JJ behind).

[tubebender]

Smaller tanks today...

[steveegg]

Last green-flag commercial - 34 to go.

[NormsRevenge]

last green flag commercial break, Ha!!

[alancarp]

Yeah, though the next stop -- if it happens -- would be a splash-n-go w/No Tires... in any case, I think Flash is showing that 4 new ones ain't a bad idea.

Uh-oh -- commercial... you know what that means....

[steveegg]

Kerry Earnhardt and Crash are still out there; there's no way we're getting 30+ green-flag laps to end things.

[GRRRRR]

14 gallons? ... LAST commercials unless there is a caution..cool

Dan Blather on CSPAN now, with Brokejaw and Jennings, this is where he accuses the WHouse of trying to SMEAR HIM...I have NO WORDS to describe how much I loath these toads...
