Could be...

He’s just running away from all the other cars, running really fast laps.

[vox_freedom]

[NormsRevenge]

He is definitely Hot Hot Hot!

DJ collects the wall on last lap,, Caution is out, field is frozen AND the race is over..

Thanks for the updates...I wouldn’t have known what was happening if I had to rely on NASCAR’s web site!

[Recovering_Democrat]

Woo hoo! One of the nicest guys in racing wins it: Carl Edwards!!

[tubebender]

They may be weeds to you buddy but to someone else they are a endangered species...

Way to go Flipper! Oh, I meant Jim Hale on the big win.
Some damn good racin’ today!

[NormsRevenge]

That first crash hurt here too..

I am amazed I pulled a 4 7 9 43 and could have had a Vickers who finished 11th if I hadn’t gone Sam ,, dang.

Oh well

Next week, Vegas,, no way I can pick last spot 3 weeks in a row, right? ;-)

[Recovering_Democrat]

Is it just me, or does Jeff Gordon’s hat have the biggest bill in history? I just saw a post-race interview with him, and it looks like he has the goofiest looking hat ever.

[NormsRevenge]

Thanks to All for bearing the gnarly weather.

I’ll be posting the Vegas thread soon..

See ya in Vegas!

[Roccus]

Hasty bannana, Norm.
