I gotta start this thread? I thought it was up to 'Space? What happened to 'Space? It's okay - I'm here. I think 'Space was just waitin' to see if I'd get the ball rollin' and he's right, I will.

It only minutes to race time! No need to get excited - this may very well be the most boring race of the year! Last nights Nationwide race was a sleeper with the only highlight being the last green flag lap (that denied us a race to the finish). It also sucked because Kyle Busch won, who after this week, I have an all new level of disrespect for. Still wanna hear about Delaware? I haven't blogged that yet since I'm still reflecting. My love for racing is in serious question.
Anyways, the fast will win tonight. It will not take a talented driver to win here. I'm hoping for an exciting outcome when I make my pick. Not exciting, but different. Qualifying sez it all, but tonight, and only tonight he will survive to make this special:

1. Sam Hornish!!!
2. Jeff Gordon
3. Jimmie Johnson

1st caution: Peblo
# of cautions: 2 (only)
last: Joe Nemechek (who was actually fastest in practice! Its a shame really)


At time of post athem is already done. Was a hell of a powerful anthem!!!!

 

I guess I'm talking to myself!

Anyways, 20 laps in Nemechek takes it to the garage - last place. That's 1 pick right...

 

David Stremme bring out the 1st caution on Lap 39. Jimmie Johnson leads the race off pit row and continues to dominate.

 

Lap 129 the race is under caution for mysterious, but uninteresting reasons. MCmurray leads Johnson off pit row. Hornish is down a lap (and may as well be out of this), as well as Kurt Busch & Kevin Harvick. Paul Menard (9th) and David Reuitmann (5th) run uncharacteristically well after pit stops...

 

Lap 137 Truex spins Jimmie Johnson to bring out the 3rd caution of the race. Jimmie Johnson saves it pretty good - seems to be okay (dammit)...

 

wow, I totally didn't know this race was tonight, I just tuned in and saw Jimmie Johnson spin but it looks like no damage for his car I'll be here til the end of the race, hopefully Harvick gets a good finish tonight :p

 

Lap 170: Jimmie pulls it to pit row under green, but comes back out 2 laps down

 

Lap 178: CAUTION When Elliot & Robbie Gordon wreck, Jimmie is 1 lap from getting a lap back on track under green - the wave around would have put him on the lead lap. I'm watching and listening to Jimmie on the scanner, and I can't believe all the f* bombs being dropped by both Jimmie & Chad!!! I hope he keeps it at the track and away from his new baby girl!

 

Lap 193: Harvick takes his car to the garage!!!! Fuel pump related ?!?

 

Lap 213: David Reutimann finally completes the pass, taking over the lead from Jeff Gordon.
Logano is 21st. Harvick is 16 laps down in 35th
