They kept talking about "pack racing."

What pack racing? You got down on the yellow line and that was it, there was one groove to race. Nascar really messed this race up, if that's the restrictor plate racing we have to look forward too I'd rather just have the two car tandem back.

Shit, I wouldn't even call that racing, it was basically get in line for 203 laps or whatever and a really fast game of follow the leader.

That's exciting restrictor plate racing.

It was single file racing pretty much the entire race. The pack racing wasn't even really that, they left a foot or more inbetween each car and were just riding laps. They were too scared to race for 99.9% of the race and the finish sucked, too. Biffle didn't even try to win, I don't buy what he said one bit. Personally, the two car tandem crap probably would have been a better race and I hated that. They just weren't doing anything.. Couldn't push, couldn't get the high line going.. Just a joke of a race, really..

it's because of the high water temp shit. Give the car more air and it people would've been pushing alot more.

Yesterday's Nationwide race was awesome.. 5 wide racing.. I have NO idea how they didn't wreck.. Today they will be fighting the rain to get the race in, so it might get shortened but I hope that doesn't happen. Happy to see Joey win yesterday.

First time all year I get to watch an entire race on a Sunday.

Honestly, this year has sucked. The most exciting things was the truck fire at Daytona and Stewart making it three wide at the restart in Vegas.

Did he do anything yesterday? I spent the day at the zoo.
He finally made it in the top 10 towards the end of the race with 30 laps to go, got up to 8th, the highest he had been all day and then he ended up losing a cylinder. Went on to finish 21st 2 laps down..
