Alan said the car is good.

They do need to change that qualifying rule - if the front two wreck in practice, they should at least have a chance to race in for a position like everyone else, otherwise it’s not worth having the pole.

Any Harvick fans out there?

Harvick on attack dogs, a roast & a diamond ring (his gift for 10-yr wedding anniversary): http://usat.ly/fRl2RR

Note: His roast will be on SPEED tomorrow night, check your schedules. I heard it was hilarious.

Watching practice...24 and 83 in car cams...way cool. The LoveBug 2x racing is going to be very interesting.

Looks like some teams are installing more fans?into the cooling area for the radiator...

Can’t wait!

I was watching the race when Joie went of the track and I was thinking how lucky he was that he didn’t hit the inside wall but when the car turned so you see the LF fender and it was scrunched and I to myself how did that happen. Then they showed the replay...

Thanks for the link Rocc. Too bad my FRiend the late Bill Kennedy isn’t here to see the reincarnation of one of the planes he flew patrol in out of Oahu Hi durning his 2 year stay there. I saw his flight log and he must have flown 10 different versions of dive bombers being upgraded and put into service. I have no idea how he got that cushy land based duty his entire tour...
