Speedofsand - do you work for Nascar? That would be a sweet place to watch a race.

RACE DAY!!! C'mon #17! I am in a fantasy league on Nascar where you have to follow a salary cap and pick any 5 drivers. I picked Kurt Busch, Kyle Busch, Jeff Burton, Regan Smith, and Michael Waltrip (Who I thing sucks but he was $1).

As long as you're only keeping Waltrip for this race, that's a good choice.

I have a question.

Is it mandatory for all drivers to run the twin 125s? I don't understand why Gordon and the 88 even race in those. If they are already on the front row they can't do anything but get worse and in Jrs case way worse. Gordon had to repair a shit ton of body damage. Why make these guys run the 125s?

No, it's not mandatory, but they do it for the extra practice I'd imagine. Especially this year with the new track surface, they don't know how its going to be during a race, and you can't find out just by running practices.

Also, when NASCAR changes the car every 5 hours for a week straight, it necessitates practice.

Looks like Mikey is 2 for 2. The Dinger did a nice job of driving around it.

Nothing stupid about it when the track is so different than it's been in the past and the cars are so much different. Need all the practice you can get.

Way to go Jamie Mac. At least you're falling back to hunt for your teammate, it's the least you can do.

Not quite yet. Carl Edwards hasn't caused or been in a spectacular wreck yet, he always seems to at the plate races.
