My guess: 13 cautions with 2 big ones

[mainepatsfan]

Man it looks like that wind is really blowing. Those first few times around turn two are going to be interesting.

501

[SouthTexas]

500, now ain't that special. ;)

[LasVegasMac]

You mean for each channel?

Right. The only thing I remember reading was that "top drivers every week..." would be shown.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Formula one drivers like Montoya just don't do well in NASCAR. They are great drivers, but these Nextel cars have very primitive suspensions and limited horse power compared to formula one.

Driver skill and pit crew strategy IS the key to NASCAR. It's like comparing apples to oranges.

Interesting fact:

Dave Gilliland was on the same High School golf team as Tiger Woods. Never heard that before.

[tina07]

would tilt the meter on boos for sure! (and hisssssss!)

[mainepatsfan]

Do they have a limit on how many?

[LasVegasMac]

That looks like Mikey in the back ground...the goofy hat fits.

[Dog Gone]

Dang! Start the race already!!!

[steveegg]

Just "might" not? A couple of years ago, our 'RAT governor showed up at the Busch race at the Milwaukee Mile and got booed out of the track.

[WestCoastGal]

It's really special when you're not trying for it. :)

[mainepatsfan]

She might drop in for a indiscreet photo op with some of the drivers but that'd be it.

[LasVegasMac]

only 5 per week

[SouthTexas]

I thought the race thing and the 500 tag were intentional, no?
