Interesting egg-shaped track.

[Petronski]

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

[Petronski]

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.

"Interesting egg-shaped track."

She's a fickle, but beautiful old lady.

[AgentEcho]

What's the over/under on blown Roush engines?

[countrydummy]

will be watching. Good luck to the Fords, they sure do need it, but I am a Bobby Labonte Fan!!! Go Bobby!

Bobby, Bobby he's my man, if he can't do it Tony can! lol lol

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.

[Liebenator]

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.

Thank goodness for Picture in Picture TV ;-)

[tubebender]

Thanks for the Thread as usual. I really like your format on the lineup, track and weather.

[NormsRevenge]

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.

[al baby]

Shes a pickel but a beautiful old cucumber

[NormsRevenge]

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.

[budman_2001]

'mornin Norm, will be waitin' and watchin' with ya as the sprinkles and rain move through my area......

Nice to see my guy on top of the points though....Driver's and Owner's Points Standings
