Looking better! Get these last bit of storms through. Much rather have a night race (tonight) then a day race on Tuesday.

Jimmie gets wrecked to start lap 2. Ku. Busch, Bayne, Danica, few others took a hit.

Danica is so unlucky this weekend, that's now 3 wrecks in 3 races that she had nothing to do with, lol. She barely has any damage though.

It was a pretty hard hit. Hopefully her car is still straight.

Someone's going to get their ass kicked tonight.

Everyone in that wreck is pissed off at Sadler.
Danica is pissed off in general at her luck.
Newman is pissed off at his crew for not securing the tire.
Dinger is pissed off at Newman because said issue caused him to hit Newman.

and it's lap 20, lol

No disrespect, I liked the 2x2 racing.

Absolutely NOTHING has happened in 15 laps or so, meaning no lead changes, etc.

At least with 2x2 you only needed one friend to get around the track, not a line of 20.

Any chance there's a 50-car pileup with no survivors so that I can watch House, MD? Thanks in advance.

Damn it.

Thanks for the good news. I'm also glad that Johnson's out too. I'm stuck at work and they have Basketball on in the tube in the Cafeteria.

Hamlin and Truex have been really strong so far.

Odd to see how the new fuel injection system is playing havoc with everything. It isn't that complicated. It's been in F-1 for years.

Holy shit JPM just drilled the jet dryer and it is in flames. The race might be over. This could destroy the track.

Apparently Montoya had a bad vibration, so he just lost complete control when it let loose

The good news for us Ohioans is if the race ends, Dave Blaney wins.

Only if it's in a condition to be raced upon. They haven't assessed it yet, I don't think.

Like the announcers said, never seen anything like that before. The shot of the fuel just pouring out like a faucet was crazy.
