It's the second half of the season, so TNT (and to a lesser extent, NBC) return to the TV mix. This half will be NBC's swan song for NASCAR and TNT's swan song for the Busch Series.
We've got a full slate of racing this weekend, as the Busch boys and Buschwhackers run a 3/4ers race Saturday afternoon, and the Truck boys and girls run over at Kentucky Saturday night.
zactly!
Posting results and standings shortly.

I watched the replay. I've watched Gordon drive since he entered the sport. He's one of, if not the best, at car control. He dumped him.
I know, but someone has to do it. 8-)
Juan more time..
LOL, thank you Norm for the moment of clarity.
You are so right on about the crybaby Kenseth. He whines more than just about every other drive in the Cup series.
Yes he did, and he got the job done...God help him.
No TeeVee Tork. I'll settle down and take your word for it. I will continue to hate the 24. All day. Every day.
How did everyone else do?
I KNEW it!!!
That's what I'm talkin about!!!
The man forEver.
Not that good - thanks to Wonder Boy
