Discussion this weekend race here.

 

[Mo Neenja31]

Just want Newman to win

 

[SKiNDATA]

I'm interested in seeing how good Jr is going to be the second time around.

 

[SBJR7]

I wonder if the Blue Ovals can reclaim their turf from Jr. I think he will be the cat to watch.

 

[SKiNDATA]

I'm just bummed out I didn't get to a chance to go in June and I'm not this weekend either. Hopefully next year I can be there at least once.

 

[Euro Dash]

hoping the 24 wins again, this time without the rain helping.

 

[trouble192]

I foresee another Hendrick vs Roush weekend.

 

[Kenny]

I'm hoping it will be another Dale Jr. show (y)

 

[Sgt Slaughter]

I want a fuel mileage race that ends with a photo finish between the BK Racing cars...

Also does anyone ever notice that for about 80% of the races every week, those 2 cars are about 1-2 positions away from each other?! It's really freaky.

 

[Tim2488]

Lots of cars having issues during first practice so far, mostly putting down oil on the track.

 

[Henderson]

That's called a real team. Same strategy and everything I suppose. I never really pay attention to guys in the 30s.

lol maybe its NASCAR trying to make the race better!

 

[AdamS]

So um... I thought Patrick Carpentier retired mid-race like 2(?) years ago?

So much for that XD

 

[moppenheimer]

So Parker Kilgerman will practice and Qualify the #22 Cup car...I thought he and Penske were through...

Edit: According to his facebook, he is still a Penske Dev driver, just also running for Red Horse...seems like an odd situation...

Yeah, really weird.. He's now driving 'Yotas in trucks and he's driving Penske Dodges

Odd, but ultimately good if there aren't contracts prohibiting him from doing this and complicating everyfreakingthing for him.

 

[RP Motorsports]

Kligerman's arrangements to practice and qualify the Cup #22 were made before the split (or firing) happened, and subsequent signing with Red Horse Racing. Penske gave him the option to still do it, so he obviously accepted.

 

[K.Chuck]

Nationwide qualifying top 5

1 Alex Taglian
2 Sam Hornish Jr.
3 Jacques Villeneuve
4 Danica Patrick
5 Kyle Busch

 

[AdamS]

So Danica's starting right beside Jacques tomorrow...

>inb4 she tries to get payback on him in the first turn and inadvertently destroys her car.

But seriously, I don't like what he did at Road America (whether he meant to do it or not), but I hope she doesn't try to retaliate on him at the track named after his father. That would look REALLY bad on her. Just saying.
