[FloridaFan88]

The Chase continues at Loudon, while the Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series are at Kentucky. Discuss the weekend's races here.

Picked Newman to win, if he doesn't get it then it better be Brad

 

[K.Chuck]

No live TV qualifying. I am going to avoid finding out till it airs tonight at 10pm on speed.

Picked Jimmie to win if not then Jeff has to win.

No truck discussion tonight? Not a bad race. There actually was some decent racing going on tonight for this track, which is probably just due to it being trucks. Congrats to James Buescher winning again tonight and with Timothy Peters wrecking, the points battle is really tight. Dillon still leads, but Buescher is only 4 points out now with that win, so it's going to be pretty good.

What, there were trucks? Wow, I go away to compete on horses and miss trucks.

Either way, Jeff's race to lose (and as much as I hate to say it...I think he will lose it though given his recent run of luck), if I had to pick one guy to win, I'm gonna go out on a limb and pick Ambrose to run well, picking Denny to win

 

[The Captain]

Either way, Jeff's race to lose

How so?

Anyone notice that Blaney qualified the 22, and qualified it 10th? That man can still race competitively if he's given the equipment.

Would be nice to see him get good equipment for a year. Sure he was at RCR but at the time they weren't that great. Other than that I'm not sure Blaney has ever had a good equipment team (n)

So, just finished watching qualifying. Anyone else find the irony about them discussing (Right after # 26 qualified ) about how the cars are held for post-qualifying inspection. Then, immediately following the pan away to the # 98 and discuss how the rear shocks exceeded limits at Indy and was DQ'd. Then, after qualifying we find out the # 26 was DQ'd for exceeding rear shock limits...

...I find this all too funny.

Isn't New Hampshire where they busted the # 38 last year for illegal valve stem covers? Front Row & New Hampshire don't seem to match well.

 

[The Captain]

I thought the valve stem thing happened at Pocono.

 

[ShadowKnight508]

...and the 2012 Kentucky 300 is green!

 

[ShadowKnight508]

Looks like the "Yellow Flag Fever" from the truck race has carried over to today's race with 2 quick spins.

 

[ThatOneShredder]

I've never been so happy in a NASCAR race this year. The three drivers I want to fight out the championship are, and the one I didn't want to is having issues.

 

[ShadowKnight508]

Boy...what a nightmare race that Stenhouse Jr. has been having today. Contact with McClure on pit road plus slapping the wall off of Turn 4.

 

[B.McKeever]

I thought the valve stem thing happened at Pocono.

You, sir, are correct.

I thought New Hampshire. I was not far off, though. Still a race track that should only get ONE 400 mile race a year.

 

[ShadowKnight508]

Dillon brings home the win at Kentucky over Hornish. Was a decent race overall, especially with the issues Stenhouse had today.

 

[The Captain]

Drew Herring doesn't get enough starts. That is all.

 

[Mo Neenja31]

Ugh wish Hornish coulda got the win

 

[RP Motorsports]

Decent Nationwide race. I really wish Sadler couldve capitalized on the 6 teams issues and pulled off the win. That wouldve been huge.

Glad JRM got rid of the Eury's! :-/ Got to watch the 7 run around in 25th all day with a car so far out of whack, it would go from wrecking loose, to knocking down the wall tight, to wrecking loose again. Stellar debut for Pemberton. Theres a reason he was working for Tommy Baldwin (no offense to Tommy). That car wasnt even worth 14th place.

On the flip side, the modified race was incredible (as you can expect from them). Easily one of the top 5 races I've seen all year in ANY series. Its a shame they dont get the play they deserve. Constant side-by-side racing, banging nerf bars, lead changes every other lap, runs from the back to the front, and everything else you could ask for. Its hard to imagine they'll broadcast ARCA, but not the mods.
