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. :)

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!!

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

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.

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.

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.
