Gordon saving that car and finishing 6th tonight was the single best accomplishment in NASCAR this season. I watched the closing laps on my EVO's NASCAR app while at an independent league baseball game. Is there a white trash emoticon?

fairly certain watching it on your EVO app takes half the white trashyness away. But yeah, his save was ridiculous. Then to avoid the 3 wrecks and push Kyle to the front. Crazy.

actually watched the first 80 so laps of the race last night, haven't watched in a very long time prior to that. The two car drafting crap was pretty entertaining especially seeing non teammates trying to hook up with each other for mutual survival. Is Daytona one of the more exciting tracks for the sprint cup races?

Daytona, Talladega, Bristol, Richmond are all up there for me.

Not a fan of the 2x2 crap

I don't really care for the 2 car crap either. Guess it's kinda cool when you some odd teams formed out of deperation. Also rough ridin' hate the commercials shown at the same time as racing. It's one thing to go to a commercial break but it's really annoying when I have to watch and listen to some stupid coke zero commercial that's taking up half the screen.

Am I commenting on Coke Zero or is the first of my Kroger brand soda analogies for jtksu posts? Time will tell.

Sweet, we'll all be patiently waiting for your upcoming posts!

Paul Menard.

A good race went to crap there at the end. It looked like a Nationwide race with the guys in the lead at the end.

I only tune into about a handful of races a year, Daytona, Bristol, Dega, Charlotte, Indy. Any race that turns into fuel mileage is always

. On to Pocono next week for the most boring race of the year, except the other time when they race there

rough ridin' one more lap.

Stupid move by NASCAR moving the Nationwide race here instead of the smaller Indy track. The track just isnt meant for stock cars.

HEY...22...

The 48 doesn't forget.

jtksu · « **Reply #68 on:** August 07, 2011, 11:24:20 PM »

How many races left before the Chase? Pretty cool that Jr looks like he could/should be a part of it for once. Also- Do points carry over? (Sorry, I'm just north of a casual fan.)

haha. i missed the last 10 laps. Damn Busch bros are always getting into crap. What made Jimmie come down on the 22 like that?

5 races left i believe. Chase standings will be determined by the number of wins during the first 26 races. 3 points for each win. Take top 10 drivers in points, plus 2 drivers(if there are any) between 11-20 with at least a win, to make 12 max.

jtksu · « **Reply #71 on:** August 08, 2011, 12:02:54 AM »

So, Jr and Stewart could be seeded 11 and 12? (I don't think Tony has won one yet?) And then it's just straight wins? I'm not sure what the F is going on but I kinda like what I think is going to happen. Nice way to reward race winners.

jtksu · « **Reply #72 on:** August 08, 2011, 12:05:48 AM »

Also- I had never seen the 13-20 stipulation before. I thought it was just the most races won of the guys who didn't finish in the top 10.

jtksu · « **Reply #73 on:** August 08, 2011, 12:06:29 AM »

11-20, Sorry. :chug:

Right now, Jr and Stewart better hope that they stay inside the top 10. Otherwise, without a win, they'll be cutting it close.

The two wildcards will be 11th and 12th no matter what. They can't move up at the start.
