Must see TV. I hate it when NASCAR interferes with the NFL, but you want to see the Big One live.

Impound race? Not to worry, the 1st caution will be early on, then everybody can change out of their qualifying setups. I expect one very big one, a couple of good sized ones and several onesy twosy's. Can you imagine a 21 car wreck that takes out 1/2 or more of the chasers?

I'd rather there weren't a big one this weekend. Those should happen at Martinsville or South Boston, or on the FDR. My team's hurtin enough.

Actually, no, I've never been into an old Ferrari. However, comma, my high school sweetheart drove a 442. Her daddy wouldn't let her drive the 68 XKE or the 32 Cord with friends aboard.

Impound race, no practice is a recipe for terror.
