With a brand of racing that is as intimate as it is intense, there's no wonder why people continue to flock to "The Monster Mile." Dover, with seating for more than 140,000, is one of the most popular race destinations in the Northeast and hosts some of the biggest crowds to see a sporting event between New York and North Carolina.

This thread is dedicated to our Armed Forces members and their families worldwide and to the victims of Hurricane Isabel.

God Bless America and God Bless FRee Republic.

Gee what a surprise Skinner spins out! Harvicks car looked good from the start!

Hello everybody

NR are You stocked up on beer?

[WestCoastGal]

Speaking of Junior, he hasn't had a pole yet this year which means he's not in the Bud shootout yet.

[steveegg]

That matches my usual late-for-the-East-Coast-races thing.

BTW, believe it.

He won the Bud Shootout this year so he has a free pass for the next few years. :^)

Just got in. Ben out sinning as my wife is out of town. Ham and eggs with, gasp, hash browns. Tomorrow I diet...

[countrydummy]

shame shame on you! ha we all deserve a break!

[AGreatPer]

Who was the first NASCAR driver to get a lap back without actually passing a car?

This is going to be a great trivia question.

[tubebender]

I do believe these rules will bite the multi-car teams in the A$$. Imagine J Gordon leading and JJ is behind him but a lap down???

Because Jr won this year's Shootout, he has a lifetime exemption ('tis how Geoff Bodine got to drive his brother's Hooters car this year).

[tubebender]

Jeff Burton... Picked up a lap in the pits???

[steveegg]

Yep. I hate compromises.

Martin had a flat, and now Newman has one. Harvick now leads.

CTS, Busch or WC?

[ChefKeith]

Thats O.K., I passed on the breakfast buffet this A.M. so You just ate for Me.

[steveegg]

Write this date down; NBC gave up a commercial run to bring us Ryan Newman (leading at the time) pitting because of a flat right-rear tire.

[steveegg]

Mmm, ham, eggs and hash browns. That's a healthy breakfast (these fat freaks and Atkins be damned).

[WestCoastGal]

You could see the 12 car bobble on the track and slide up the track a bit. I knew something was wrong, but they went to commercial anyway. I'll give them credit for coming back for his pit stop though.

Now, we'll see the new rule come into play as far as getting laps back. He definitely looks like he has the fastest car.

That's exactly who it's supposed to bite.

[WSGilcrest]

Look what my bro just showed up with. Second one in two days-->

[steveegg]

Right now, if there's a yellow, it's going to be Bobby Labonte Mongo Crash Gordon Park (and about to be Benson or Green because Harvick is hauling).
