Whoa... everybody take a pre-final-cautions nap?

FR seems to be taking a nap too... sluggish.

[NYTexan]

Ya gotta be a nut to do this commercial:

[nascarnation]

the DE Jr commercial for Bristol
is that Monica Lewinsky?
if not, she must have a twin LOL

[don-o]

meat loaf sammitch

[GRRRRR]

What was that, only two laps until more commercials...I guess they don't like showing the 24 in the lead so much...LOL

Siriusly tho, I hope the TNT experiment with letterbox and continuous racing, showing ads in the bottom portion does really, really well.

HERE COMES JJ48...Jeff might get most laps led points if he can just hold off JimmyJ.

[GRRRRR]

FR has been a slow dog all day...

JJ into the pits now...

[glock rocks]

Larry the cable guy thinks that anybody who can't speak english shouldn't be allowed to work in a fast food restaurant... what's the matter? can't say sammich? :o)

[don-o]

JJ's tar man was SITTING on that left rear this time

[WestCoastGal]

5 points for Jr leading lap 213

[glock rocks]

I hope the TNT experiment with letterbox and continuous racing, showing ads in the bottom portion does really, really well

Absolutely!

[don-o]

Larry is a great American

[WestCoastGal]

Thank you BowWow for leading a lap!

[GRRRRR]

We fans will need to send Nutscar and TNT notes of encouragement IF they do a good job...

There MUST be something done with the flood of commercials in Nascar.

Isn't it amazing how there haven't been as many cautions as we, and the 'pro's all thought?

[SouthTexas]

Your storm has rotation. Center between Lubbock and Odessa.

[glock rocks]

Yep. He came up on a pig farm.

...we had horses and, um, sheep. cows and rabbits and, um, sheep. no pigs. go figure...

[WestCoastGal]

50 laps to go and one more pitstop somewhere in there barring cautions of course.

[WestCoastGal]

I was just out with the dog, the sky looks funny but it's just sprinkling right now.

The warning says until 1AM

[don-o]

Is that Jim Varney for Ford?

[glock rocks]

Well, these are the pros, but it ain't over yet. I'll guess three yellers before the end...

I'd gladly pay to watch the races on PPV, just like boxing. I don't have any idea why they don't do it.

[WestCoastGal]

Sorry don-o I missed that.

Dog loves to play ball ALL the time, so I type with right throw ball with left. Mute, mouse and speakers in between. :)
