thunder and lightning hard here gotta shut down for a few. see ya in a bit . I hope!!!

Martin was running mid-pack before the caution brought just about everybody to pit-road. I think he and the #97 did just a gas-and-go.

[budman_2001]

It doesn't look like the track lighting is coming on, which would be good news, so that's bad news.

[steveegg]

No it doesn't.

[steveegg]

Stay safe.

[ewing]

Wow, Rusty at #26 the car must be fading bad.

They must have shot the wad at 100 laps in 8th or 9th place..

Gary McCord just made a reference to Phil being a lefty, Gary said: "Phil plays from the "deviant" side; the left."

Think there was any politics there?

[LdSentinal]

Marlin (why did Mikey give him his lap back?)

It's common courtesy to allow a lapped car to get his lap back. Racing to the caution is dangerous.

[steveegg]

I know, but nobody should give Sterling any help <VBG>

[LdSentinal]

Warrrruuuurd Burton is on . . . Spit out the tobacco!!!

[CAfraudPI]

Why are'nt they showing highlights (read crashes) while on rain delay?

[ewing]

I love Gary McCord, he is hilarious.
