Had problems last night getting on line, we did have ugly weather.

Was hoping you had heard what happened to the Hendrick crew! Think Jr will be OK. A camber issue is something you don't have an external adjustment on and they kept trying to stay up, thus the double tire loss. The engine issue is another story though. Think it's a common part between them all, but if they can't find it because of destruction all around, life may be very ugly this week.

Figure they knew before they left Cali, just haven't announced it. :)

No word on the engine problems yet from Hendrick.

I did hear this evening via the DEI insider that the haulers made it to Mexico City safely for the Busch race.

I will post a thread in chat tomorrow afternoon sometime. Qualifying is on Saturday and some practice tomorrow. I will try to find a translation. lol

Was that when you said you'd take the job as a towel boy ONLY IF you got a discount?
