Some add - whiskey and the devil all around - But I would not know about that, of course
I had Flash - lemme look if Tar Smokers stopped the slide
I left work and Matt was leading, Nawthurn was second and Sorenson was third. Couldn't be more perfect! :(
Robbie promised we wouldn't run out of gas!! I needed him to win and Nawthurn to be 1st or 2nd to make up for Shrub who has killed me two weeks in a row. Phooey!
Thanks for the pic...........that boy couldn't have had more trouble today could he? At least the flat didn't wreck him.
Jr sure had a tough race, was doing really good for so long..
Still in it...
Wow, great pics!!! Thank you.
Great seats, I guess the new ones will be even better.
That place looks really gorgeous. I like the Nellis backstretch sign....has that always been there?
Leave it to Brendan Gaughan to drive his race truck to the race. :)
That just killed me, one thing after the other.
You could tell he was racing his butt off. I just don't understand WHY the car was great yesterday, great at the beginning of the race and then the handling went before the tire incident. The #1 car was right on the bottom of the track all day where he should be.
I'm waiting to see an interview with Jr on NVL later.
On to Kansas!!! Great...I'll be there in our suite!! I love it...Go Jeff Gordon!!!
Jr was not the only one...Ryan Newman had a hot rod for awhile then faded big time.
I think the last 30 or so laps of that race was the best I've seen for quite some time.
The grass is still waiting for me........lol
The Drive for 5 is still alive!
Oh you lucky dog, I'm jealous.
Have fun.
Jr's last transmission before he pulled the ear plugs was....
"gonna raise some hell this week."
