FrontRow Joe lives up to his name, good for him!!

[WestCoastGal]

I'm jealous!!

It was all I could do today to find his TV Guide cover here!

I used to have one of those of Tom Selleck, I kept it in the corner of my office. The girls used to love coming in to visit us!!

Jr has never been in the IROC race that I know of. Various other Nascar drivers have been in this race, not sure how they're picked.

Jr and his Dad were in the IROC race the same season that Dale got killed. Remember? Maybe Jr opt out of it because of that. That's when the IROC cars were pastels.

If memory serves me correctly. :)

[WestCoastGal]

You are right, I just watched that during the TNT week of Dale Earnhardt. Wow my memory fails me!! Yikes

[NYTexan]

Well...if'n yer really helpful ta me in the FRFL, I'll send it to ya!

[WestCoastGal]

You got it!! I can be verrry helpful.

Just let me know what you need.

Thanks!! Wow!!

[WestCoastGal]

Busch got shuffled to the back

Kinser bump drafts Kenseth, they running hard.

You are right, I just watched that during the TNT week of Dale Earnhardt. Wow my memory fails me!! Yikes

I think Dale Jr ran one more season after his father got killed, but I couldn't bet on it. Maybe that race isn't for him.

I wonder why, though.

Hey! You sure provide us with wonderful information! Thanks so much for keeping us informed!!

Another ping for the IROC and truck races on Speed tonight.

The new Daytona Busch and 500 thread will be pinged tomorrow morning.

[WestCoastGal]

You're welcome, since I have the time and love racing it's a perfect match!

[WestCoastGal]

Really beating on each other, no spotters for this race so it's a by the seat of the pants kind of thing.

Driving a car is not a sport. The car does all the work.

[WestCoastGal]

Looking back from Kenseth's car to Castroneves, is that close or what!!

[WestCoastGal]

[WestCoastGal]

Kenseth
Castroneves
Pruett
Lasoski
Rice
Martin
Busch
Kinser
Bourdais
Truex
Hamilton Jr

[WestCoastGal]

They're running about 180 miles an hour within inches of each other. I don't think the car does all the work. The 500 race coming up on Sunday is even worse at about 190 and 43 cars drafting within those same inches. Watch the race and come back and let me know what you think afterwards.

[NYTexan]

there goes half the field!

Mostly lurker on the race threads, so thanks for the ping when things are happening.

Read of y'all's trouble with your hardware. Did you actually put a laptop in a freezer to cool 'er down?

If so, you should have took a picture of it.

[WestCoastGal]

Kurt comes down on Kinser and Pruett hits Kurts left rear. Lasoski shoved below the line, what a mess.

Trail braking is the word I was looking for that Jimmie Johnson used after the Shootout race. He said that's a way of keeping the cars behind you on a plate racetrack. Kenny Wallace said they were doing this tonight as well. Probably what happened with JJ and Harvick yesterday.

[WSGilcrest]

Those cars don't look identical anymore. :)
