[Afronaut]

Good Day from NJ ! It's going into the 90's today. I am looking to do some yard work and smoke some Cigars. I am debating watching the race live or taping it and saving valuable weekend time. I taped the Busch race and it makes me happy to blow through the commercials and the yellows...

The #17 is due ! I have him today as my A pick. I need to make a move on that list.

Chicago is another dull track on TV and I bet it is Great Live, like Dover.

Thanks for the thread, it is the best NASCAR thread on the Internet. I am not kidding.

[glock rocks]

Great race Norm!

See all y'all next week in Loudon!

[racing fan]

[NormsRevenge]

[NormsRevenge]

[tubebender]

IT'S YOUR FAULT...You were the last one to post this morning

[tubebender]

I so glad you are here. I had all of today to think this over and I have got it figured out. The reason there are 42 teams ahead of us is because they consistently get more points...

Actually, it was Diver Dave's fault (either that, or Diver Dave is just the unluckiest guy this side of Carl Edwards).

[Pete-R-Bilt]

Hey kids good race missed to thread though.

just talked to the wife and grandaughter they just crossed the Mrs. Hippie, looks like they'll beat Dennis accross, also the wife talked to one of her friends and it looks like they'll be at the Loudon race next week.

now she mentions it 1200 miles away after I told her I hated the North East.

she didn't say a word about doing anything fun!!!

I was so rattled today that I never thought to go to the Nascar site...

BTW...I know this is a bad time to bring this to John Rob but do you think we could convince him to trick his Spell Checker to recognize NASCAR?

Thing is, NASCAR seems to be in the spell-check vocabulary (though "spell-check", "tagline" and "FReepathon" aren't).

Nascar, huh?

Well, that's all well and good, but I thought that I'd mention that the first US Grand Prix motorcycle race run in the US in 11 years (at Laguna Seca) had two Americans on the Podium!

Yesterday, Nicky Hayden of Owensboro, Kentucky, took the pole for the very first time in qualifying, and not only was this his first MotoGP win, he led every lap of the race today. Colin Edwards, the "Texas Tornado," took second place, and Valentino Rossi took third place.

For those of you who don't know, MotoGP is the top tier international racing event. These guys are the best riders in the world.

Colin Edwards leads Valentino Rossi (3rd place today), who is arguably the world's best motorcycle road racer today. The color scheme is the mid-1980s Yamaha "bumblebee" colors, when Kenny Roberts ruled the world for Yamaha, and in honor of their 50th aniversary.
