Join us as we head off to Chicagoland this week-end for the Cup and Busch circuits and the Craftsman Trucks running in Kentucky.

Yeah....I just gotta break down and do that, lol!

[NormsRevenge]

90 to go

Stremme now shown in 30th
Truex up to 11th

track is getting bumpier per the announcers

[steveegg]

Didn't know that Rubberhead was a free agent ;-)

They eventually corrected that to Shrub.

[NormsRevenge]

Aren’t we at the mid point of the season and now we flop channels?

Lots of EsPN and then ABC brings it home..

[steveegg]

Yep. It's all East Coast Media Cabal from here on out.

Brainless cheering; JJ back to the front.

[steveegg]

Time to cause a caution. TNT is going through the field.

Word of the day - SAVE ME FUEL!

[NormsRevenge]

I detest these tiny fuel cells..

[glock rocks]

Is that what Gordon is doing in 14th? Saving fuel?

[steveegg]

JJ and Smoke working together, swapping the lead and drafting each other to save gas.

[steveegg]

Flash pitted the last stop, so he’s got a few extra laps of gas.

[glock rocks]

I knew he stopped... just trying to figure out why he didn’t go. LOL.

[NormsRevenge]

Nburton wiggled a bit off that turn

[steveegg]

Northurn Burton dirt-tracking.

Stops coming for the leaders in about 14 laps, and that'll be a gamble on mileage.

[glock rocks]

Nice save there.

[steveegg]

With a double-file restart and a LONG line on the inside, restarting 14th is like restarting 28th.

[NormsRevenge]

Currently 7th or so..

I thought that horse-drawn carriages would be a little tight.
