I liked TNT’s opening show with their split screen approach.
This will be the first Pocono race I watch from home in a couple years. After June's race was such a disaster because of jerks and bad weather (even though all the preceding week weather guys were saying only a 5-10% chance of rain) we're taking a break from Pocono. It just seems like a lot of real scumbags were at the 500 in June and we couldn't really enjoy it.
Maybe next year. Or not. I'm thinking of going to Dover instead. Somebody at the Pocono 500 said there isn't a bad seat in the place. Pocono Raceway has lots of bad seats.
Most likely on Sunday I'll BBQ with some family and friends and run the cable out to the deck and watch the race.
How bout those fence climbers??
LOL figured that wasn’t the best analogy after I hit post.

Just so ya know the rules here...If ya mention BBQ, it's mandatory to post pics!
Man you are the thread master. Great job!!

Arrest Made In Attack On NASCAR Driver
An Indianapolis man has been arrested on suspicion of beating and kicking a NASCAR Busch Series driver in the city’s Broad Ripple area, police said.
ADVERTISEMENT
Police said they believe Mark Tharpe, 25, attacked Steve Wallace, 19, on a street in Broad Ripple late Sunday or early Monday, beating him and kicking him in the face.
Wallace, the son of NASCAR legend Rusty Wallace, finished 17th in the Kroger 200 Busch Series race at Indianapolis’ O’Reilly Raceway Park on Saturday.
Police didn’t comment on a motive for the attack on Steve Wallace, whose father was part of ESPN’s broadcasting crew for Sunday afternoon’s Allstate 400 at the Brickyard at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Steve Wallace declined treatment for his injuries.
Tharpe was being held in jail Monday afternoon with bond set at $15,000, 6News’ Jack Rinehart reported.

Thanks WCG!
That brute should be happy he’s not in jail down south! Gotta wonder what motivates that kind of trash.
From what I understand from a local Indy person, that part of town used to be a good hangout for music etc. but is pretty bad/seedy these days. One wonders what he was doing down there?

JR Motorsports and Hendrick Motorsports to Join Busch Operations in 2008: JR Motorsports and Hendrick Motorsports will combine the two companies’ NASCAR Busch Series operations at the conclusion of the 2007 racing season with plans to field a joint effort beginning in 2008. The partnership will campaign two full-time race cars under the JR Motorsports banner that utilize Hendrick Motorsports engines, chassis and vehicle engineering support. Rick Hendrick will be listed as car owner of the #5 team and Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be car owner of the #88. To support the operation, approximately 30 employees, including crew chief Chad Walter, will move to JR Motorsports’ Mooresville-based facility from Hendrick Motorsports’ Busch Series group in Concord. Walter will serve as crew chief of the #5 team next season.(Hendrick Motorsports PR)(7-30-2007)
Check this out.
You’re setting the bar pretty high for those that follow...
I didn’t see yesterday’s race. I was my home Champ Car track in Downtown San Jose. The crowds were like last year (not very much— maybe 80,000 total for three days). There were hardly any vendors and fewer places to buy food. They didn’t announce an attendance figure, so it has to be pretty bad. I know NASCAR has more people on race day than Champ Car all weekend long.
One interesting thing is that people didn’t show up until about an hour or two before the race. A bunch left halfway throughout the race.
I don’t really care for timed events and perfer the distance race (lap count) mroe.

Dang!
obviously not a Wallace fan, perhaps
I’ll do it for free if you hold him.
This is a wee bit early, isn’t it?
