I think the Fords will have a better chance of it on this track. Hopefully Roush has his $h!t together today.

I'm torn: The Azores Press Conference is slated for 1:30 est. I suppose I can limber up the 'previous channel' finger and flip back and forth.

I don;t know, probably not good either way. Weird how things go sometimes. Busch blew his up in practice yesterday and will be at the back of the pack. So will Michael Waltrip, he nudged the wall pretty good.

I don't know, spring race at darlington means only one thing - Rain. Everytime I or someone I knows goes down there in the spring that is what happens.

Thanks for the list.

l\It looks like some folks forgot to take their restrictor plates out at the big speedways. 8-)

#11 .. not bad for a rookie.

Thanks.

I just throw it out there, tweak and let it rip and hope no red Xs show up. :-)

Keep an eye on this place. I got to go to Firestone and get 4 new tires on my pickup.

Race should start just after 10 AM PT.

Looks like Busch series will very likely get rained out tomorrow tho.
