Live Blogging The Nationwide Series Race From Nashville on ESPN2
Add your Kyle Busch guitar smash comments by clicking the comments button below.
What a weekend this has been for ESPN where NASCAR is concerned. Practice coverage on Friday consisted of lots of talking and very little content. Saturday's qualifying was the victim of a live college baseball game running long, so lots of the cars were dropped from the coverage so ESPN2 could hit live golf on time at 5PM.
Now, the NASCAR on ESPN team has to re-group and get things back together for a live race from Nashville. This is one of those unique concrete tracks that is very different from the traditional NASCAR surfaces that this series sees regularly.
Allen Bestwick will lead Rusty Wallace and Brad Daugherty on the air at 7PM with the pre-race show from the Infield Pit Studio. Tim Brewer will also be on-hand from the Tech Garage.
Once the pre-race is over, Wallace will be going up to the booth and joining Dr. Jerry Punch and Andy Petree to call the race. Dale Jarrett has the weekend off. Down on pit road will be Dave Burns, Shannon Spake and Jamie Little.
Both Carl Edwards and Kyle Busch are down from Pocono for this race. Look for the normal struggles of the Nationwide regulars to keep up with the big boys. A consistent story on these stand-alone weekends will be how many teams start the race and then pull directly into the garage before the first pit stop for fuel.
Although the fuel is free, the tires are not. Teams at the back of the pack who have no intention of actually racing are going to save every dollar possible. TDP will be keeping track of the start and park teams in our live blog.
The track is easy to cover for TV, makes great pictures with the light surface and offers good racing. This part of the coverage should be fun to watch.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by The Daly Planet.
Hi all! Here's hoping that this is a far superior effort on ESPN's part than their other NASCAR broadcasts have been this weekend.
ReplyDeleteGreat quote by McDowell
ReplyDelete"Hard to start behind Kyle Busch because sometimes his cape blocks your view," said Michael McDowell.
ReplyDeleteGot to love the Nationwide drivers....

ReplyDeletebeat ya to it JD
ReplyDelete*giggle* re: Michael McDowell
ReplyDeleteI knew it. Kyle went in there high and Joey was too close to take advantage...
ReplyDeleteFrustrating im sure but as much as I think walking way is justified at times, leaving Sliced Bread out there to burn on national tv was rough.
Rusty...Rusty...Rusty...how many teammates did you get along with?
ReplyDeleteThe question of the night is will these guys pull it together & give us good race coverage? or (more likely) espn goes 0-5 & totally jerks this up?
ReplyDeleteNot only am I a racing addict - I'm an optimist.
OK its fading, Brad is comparing LeBron to racing. sigh its gonna be a long night I fear.
Thanks JD, I missed what M McD said.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe what SDDD just said. And people wonder why he's so hated.
I just flipped over to CL. Surprisingly they "cut" out the track cleaning after Atwood's oil drop.
@Dot-okay, party next dr..I'm in & out. What did SDDD say NOW??
ReplyDeleteWow, I hadn't heard those Kyle Busch comments before. He knowingly stayed on the track with a flat tire last week to try to wreck the drivers behind him on the restart and take the victory? Yikes, good to see Rusty take a moment to share his disgust with that.
ReplyDeleteI also hope my worst fears aren't realized as I look on the TV and see a blank, unsponsored sitting on the outside front row... if you catch my drift.
I respect Brad Daugherty for calling out Kyle Busch for walking away after that last race.
ReplyDeleteHe joins Mike Joy and Ricky Craven who said the same thing.
@ PammH, See Strick's post.
ReplyDeleteBrad's point about LeBron James was totally on the money comparing him to KB.
ReplyDeleteOne thing is for sure. Allen Bestwick can get things back on track and focused in TV land in a heartbeat.
ReplyDeleteMakes me crazy that he not calling this race tonight.
It sure is a stark contrast to compare pieces like the storm survival story we just saw on ESPN's pre-race show to the cartoons, goofiness, sponsored segments, and lack of reality we got all year on Fox's pre-race race shows huh?
ReplyDelete@ Strick, right on.
ReplyDelete*sigh* I'm glad to see I'm not the only one tired of Kyle's arrogance.
ReplyDelete@ JD, maybe that's why JP doesn't take time off. AB would outshine him.

nice point..... and Kyle calling out Doc? looks like they are on point tonight........
@stricklinfan - Amen to that!
ReplyDelete@JD its almost as if its a different network with AB "in charge"
ReplyDeleteAs far as Kyle - why doesn't/won't/can't NASCAR bring in KB like they did Tony after his remarks & get KB in control & going with the program? He admitted he stayed out knowingly, with no regard for other drivers?
@ Jo, our minds are still in sync. I wonder that too.
ReplyDeleteKyle just suggested what we ALL want. Cover the other guys, not just him. Give coverage to guys that have new sponsors. Maybe ESPN will listen to "superman." On second thought, they probably won't.
ReplyDeleteKB just proved he has a sense of humor when he wants to. Good interview. Nice plug for McD and Coleman.
ReplyDelete-sigh- Sometimes Kyle shouldn't tell the whole story...
ReplyDeleteBlank car is P2 strick.
MWR supplied, it'd be nice to see them win just to add to the chaos much like when JB won at M-ville last fall in trucks.
I like Kyle's idea...talk about OTHER guys and leave him alone lol
You think they'll listen to SDDD, their 'star of the script'? Interesting him of all people said that.
ReplyDeleteHeck yeah! State is back on a car with Keller today!
ReplyDelete@ hotaru, so true.
ReplyDeleteNASCAR to Preacher: Make sure you wear a clean shirt.
ReplyDeletePreacher to NASCAR: Do I have to tuck it in?
Guess no was the answer....
My ears are bleeding - and I'm being drug through it so slowly....
ReplyDeletePlanes must not have taken off yet...
Did anyone else lose the ESPN2 signal or is just Time Warner in NYC?
ReplyDeleteShe'd be fantastic if she wasn't breathing in the middle of sentences, not to mention words.
ReplyDeleteNashville Superspeedway: that opening ceremony was just HARSH.
ReplyDeleteFlyover?
Blank car is P2 strick.
ReplyDeleteMWR supplied, it'd be nice to see them win just to add to the chaos much like when JB won at M-ville last fall in trucks.
I'd love nothing more than to see that kid, or frankly anyone but the Cup drivers, win this race. My fear with that car being unsponsored we'll see a repeat of what happened when Kelly Bires qualified 5th at Bristol in the full-time Braun Racing #10 car that didn't have a sponsor for that one race.... 5 laps, to the garage, "brakes". I sure hope I'm wrong though, it would sure be good to see that kid get a chance to shine in good equipment.
What - you didn't know la-hand was a word in the National Anthem?
ReplyDelete@strick - I would hope that if they weren't planning to race MWR wouldn't have set up the car so well. But others have parked from top 10 starting positions.
ReplyDeletehad to be the longest National Anthem of the season.
ReplyDeleteThe anthem singers must audition a different version to get the job.
ReplyDeleteOnce again I volunteer to be the National Anthem "singer picker" for 2010.
ReplyDeleteWOW. been watching Young and the Restless and missed some snarky comment by young Kyle.
ReplyDeleteHow the heck can he get by with that..he wanted to wreck others????//
Anthem, uh, not so good.
I missed the flyover or did the camera, too. At this rate, I might go back to my Y&R marathon.
At least Rusty is just straightforward in talking about his own team.
ReplyDeleteJD said ...
ReplyDeleteOnce again I volunteer to be the National Anthem "singer picker" for 2010.
If not, maybe you can be the 2010 nose picker.
No flyover.
ReplyDeleteGee lucky for me I had to go get doggy food out of the car then had to walk down to the front of the house to close the driveway gate and missed the anthem. Hubby muted it.

ReplyDeleteWhat - you didn't know la-hand was a word in the National Anthem?
June 6, 2009 7:35 PM
Thats "Hoe-Say"s last name
@Sophia - SDDD didn't directly say that. He said that he didn't want to let his competitors know that he had a problem. Rusty interpreted it to mean that he was willing to wreck the field for the win. SDDD messed up the race for not only him, but his teammate.
ReplyDeleteBoy, is sports car racing boring or what? Anyone watching SPEED in PIP?
ReplyDeleteNo flyover? :(
ReplyDeleteI'm picking Keselowski or Allgaier to win this race. Brad's been on a hot streak lately and Allgaier certainly has the ability to win. He's been getting better week after week.
But I also have a feeling that ESPN will mostly ignore Allgaier (again) in favor of the Cup regulars, even if he's running up front. Guess we'll see.
Dang it! I wasn't watching during the prayer...missed that! That's what I get for bad timing on my multi-tasking!
ReplyDeleteAre we not in Music City? Suddenly is there NO ONE who can sing there? Geez!
@JD--I vote for you to be the Anthem Singer picker :)
@Matt--if you lost it before/during the "anthem" send them a Thank You Card. The feed I'm watching via Justin is from NY but I believe they have satellite

Stricklin, another owner paid MWR to field the car from what I gathered in his opening interview so I think they are here to race. If he was a start and park guy, he probably wouldnt have gotten an interview out of it. IE Terry Cook when he qualifies good. Unfortunately for Kelly he has been relegated to driving for S&P's this year.
ReplyDeleteAlso, sometimes the "brake" issues can be quite legit. I think at Darlington Blaney had a true blue brake failure in the car from what someone told me scanning the car. Just so happened they didnt have the resources to go fix it so they parked.
Lets hope this starts better then last year because I think it was this race or Kentucky that we had a wideshot down the back on lap 1 and you saw 8 cars pull in for the pits in the shot...
Get ready for RaceBuddy tomorrow, that is going to be wild.
ReplyDeleteRobyn: I honestly think Kyle was thinking what I was. He wasnt trying to CAUSE anything, but was HOPING since it was a GWC restart, that someone much like at Phoenix, would lose their head on the restart and cause a melee. But such did not happen.
ReplyDeleteLook at how much higher he entered turn 1 on the replay though then he normally did, if Joey had been a carlength further back, he would have went low and cleared him. Kyle messed up by not telling at LEAST his teammate what his intentions were.
Least we'll get to see triple pits tonight thank goodness
ReplyDeleteWow, with the ESPN qualifying debacle that edited out most of the go-or-go-homers' runs I didn't notice until the starting lineup crawl that Kelly Bires was in the 91 car this week. Sad, very sad, when you see how well he ran when he got a chance to drive that 33 car earlier this year.
ReplyDeleteGoing to fix dinner. Read/write later.
ReplyDelete@JD--New2 isn't home so his feed is still on SPEED so I'm checking that one too. Yes it can be boring at times but from time to time they give us a great finish! I remember Scott Pruett winning at Daytona using some of his NA$CAR tricks on the last lap :)
ReplyDelete@David - Those weren't my comments about wrecking the field, they were Rusty's.
ReplyDeleteAs for Blaney's brake "problem" at Darlington, it was strictly S&P. Prism won't run the car without sponsorship. Look for more brake problems for Blaney tomorrow.
Good to see a sponsor on the 87
ReplyDeletedot...food before racing?
ReplyDeleteAre they not watching the same race we are? Show the racing, not the leaders@@
ReplyDeleteMSRP almost had another Talladega there...
ReplyDeleteThat's a shame :( Didn't get started good :(
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great crowd for a nice night of racing. Wish we could have gone up there for this and I said that last night about the truck race. Hope JP can stay alert.
ReplyDeleteBy the looks of it on Live Leaderboard, the 49, 96, 90, 91 and 0 cars all dropped to the rear of the field before the green flag waved.
ReplyDeleteMartin, keep giving us the S&P info when they drop out will you?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
bummer for willie. not many chances to showcase after thorsport released him
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Mark Green is already out.
ReplyDeleteThere is no crowd. 1/2 full at best.
ReplyDeleteDavid said...
ReplyDeleteGood to see a sponsor on the 87
Good thing this car is sponsored by "the other" male enhancement sponsor or we'd be watching the Smilin' Bob commercials.
lol its a sponsor martin...
ReplyDeletei didnt know who they were 'till you said that
Waiting for George to warm up. Dan is my personal booth announcer while I'm in the kitchen. Even replays what I missed.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a crash.
@Anon 7:54 - I was thinking that too. Bruton Smith won't move a race here if this trend continues.
ReplyDelete#0 - Lap 2
ReplyDelete#85 and #05 - Lap 5
#09 and #07 may or may not repair and come back
#49, #90, #91 and #96 are still out there
I thought the stands were full maybe it was the tv angle they showed us.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteuhhh...john wes had a flat tire...
ReplyDelete90 and 91 are in the garage. Looked like one of them was heading there when JWT spun.
ReplyDelete#90 and #91 did not take the green on that restart
ReplyDelete#96 was the Lucky Dog and may run longer than we expected
#49 still out as well
sorry vickyd the stands are not full....
ReplyDeleteYep JD. I'm still watching the Rolex race.
ReplyDeleteI've found that it is a full time "job" watching the Grand Am series. They update different "stories" all the time so you have to keep up. They don't stay on one or two drivers to long unless they're beating and banging each other. They find racing elsewhere on the track and show it. It does get strung out on the endurance races, but they cover the whole field so you have to pay attention, (if you're interested).
Compared to the cup races the Rolex series has more "racing" than them. Each driver works to WIN. Do what it takes to WIN. Even with a 6 second lead, no letting off, drive hard till it's done.
I guess it can be an aquired taste though.
Anon at 8:06 - at least the race fans can stretch out now!
ReplyDeleteDid ESPN just show the "points as they are running"? It's lap 22. Jeez!
ReplyDeleteDoes the booth not notice NW only drivers? S. Leight is in 5th -hello? How about all the other NW drivers? Not just Cup?
ReplyDelete96 is off the track.
ReplyDelete#07 and #09 are officially out per ESPN's ticker
ReplyDelete#05 is just "off" and may come back out, although he was severely crabbing his way back to the garage
Looks like #96 is out now
Glen, it looked a lot like F-1 today. Only passing has been on pit road.
ReplyDeleteAnnett just brought out a caution! (MRN is great!)
ReplyDeleteMV, how many started and parked without being in the accident?
ReplyDeleteESPN comes back to a caution much faster than FOX does.
ReplyDeleteEli Gold is doing the lead for MRN.
ReplyDeleteGotta love Eli, he is a character.
ReplyDelete0, 90, 91 and 96 were not involved in the accident
ReplyDelete05, 07, 09 and 85 were all involved at lap 3
#49 is the only suspected S&P still out there
MRN is on, bspn very low, I had such hope for tonight.
ReplyDeleteThere goes the 49.
ReplyDeleteI had wondered what happened to Brad Coleman. Now I see he's in the 20 car. Interesting
ReplyDeleteNo word that Annett brought his car back to the garage. Is he out?
ReplyDeleteGotta run the race on my Slingbox so I can watch my beloved Penguins on the flat screen. Go Pens
ReplyDeleteLots of scams getting ad time these days from Fidelis to Extenze. Sign of the times just like S&P cars.
ReplyDeleteHow in heaven's name do they have those Extenze commercials on here, and wouldn't a Nascar driver be a bit embarrassed to endorse it? I know sponsorship is at a premium, but that product? And didn't the government stop the sale of that stuff, saying it's false advertising?
ReplyDeleteExtenze driver commercials.
ReplyDeleteYikes!!!!!!!!!!!
So I no lika.
Geez. I miss high standards.
and no it ain't 'medical problems' anymore. Even V is a "recreational" drug among the seasoned citizens set! Yes some need it but others want it.
So to speak!?
Annett shows 13 laps down, but the sad news is that Kelly Bires was in one of the S&P cars.
ReplyDelete@Robyn - they are still working on the car in the garage per MRN
ReplyDeleteExtenze would be embarrassing to promote.
ReplyDeleteTheir infomercials are horrible, btw.
I know I'm abit late, but when is p#ssed not a swear word on TV?? My mamma would have washed my mouth out w/soap for that!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jojaye. Just wondering what was going on. I saw that he was laps down.
ReplyDeleteLike to hear some more team radios.
ReplyDeleteAB says 9 cars out. WHY are they out?
ReplyDelete#05 is officially out, #15 is undergoing repairs and the S&P business is done for the night.
ReplyDeleteKevin Conway's driver suit calls ExtenZe a "men's health supplement".
Personally, I think they should limit Cup drivers to a certain number of Nationwide races each season, and not allow their points to count towards the Championship. And it really hacks me off when they say Shrub has 50 wins and only needs 150 more to catch Richard Petty. Petty's wins came in Cup not in the baby races. Like someone said, it would be like Shaq going back to high school or college now, just to pad his win numbers.
ReplyDelete*th place is best battle Leight v Wallace yet we don't see it? & McDowell in it to
ReplyDelete3 wide came out of turn 4 - we didn't see that either
@Joyjaye - Wonder if the ESPN announcers are trying to tell the booth what they want shown instead of what is being shown?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe Kevin Conway would agree to even do those commercials.
ReplyDeleteHey al. I'm late to the race, but 9 cars are out already???

Should be called a wallet deflator because that's all that's gonna happen with these fake pills. Meow Hiss!
All Right, Morgan.
ReplyDelete@Vicky - I saw that ad when I backed up the TIvo! Was that really Kevin Conway? I thought the feds were after that stuff and it had been pulled!
ReplyDeleteGo Mr. Jesus Go :)
ReplyDeletegood to see the booth mention the 89.
ReplyDeleteKevin most likely has no choice - his contract probably requires him to be in his sponsor's commercials.
ReplyDelete7 S&P, 2 accident
ReplyDeletePammH
ReplyDeleteI thought that P was a cussword also. I could've NEVER said such words around my mom.
Wow! A Morgan Shepard siteing?? I'm just in shock...in a VERY good way!
ReplyDeleteI read an article on the extenz a while back, what a scam. It cost them 3 cents a pill and they sell for $2.00 each. They were being investigated for credit card fraud. If you subscribe they send you a months supply every month. If you cancel they continue to send you the pills for several months and charge your card. They think most men would not admit to being duped and just let it pass. They made 80 million dollars in six months before they were shut down for while.
ReplyDeleteFrank in Sebring
Looks like #15 came back on track, went back to the garage and is back out again.
ReplyDelete@darbar - bit late here but I agree with you.
ReplyDeleteHubby has switched to pre game on another channel - he said he'll watch again when SDDD isn't leading.
@Andrew - I have the sound on so low I'm not able to get angry by the lousy "coverage" I listen to MRN & try to see the race on bspn.
FYI, they did 9 laps of green flag racing and went to commercial for 5 green flag laps.
ReplyDeleteThe race is broadcast on ESPN2, yet there's no race tracker on espn.com? Has it been this way all season?
ReplyDeleteThe camera swinging onto pit road made me dizzy.

There is such a good joke within your comment but this is a family friendly site.
I'm just saying. :)
I am looking forward to 9pm and the Indy race myself.
Cool shot of all the brake dust coming off Wallace's car when they pulled off his tire.
ReplyDelete@Sophia - my lack of ability with English idioms is showing once more. If it's rude, please, JD, remove!
ReplyDeleteProbably worth mentioning that GNC is on the car as an associate sponsor, they may be partly funding this ride and selling it in their stores.
ReplyDeleteGoing by what you guys have said, I think I'm glad I can't see those ExtenZe commercials on TSN.
@JD - 4 cars were out in that accident on lap 4, but I think it's a safe bet the #05 and #85 would have been S&P anyway. #09 is a wreck waiting to happen, so it's more like a "start & crash".
Mike Harmon would have given it a legitimate shot, he finished well at the last race, is using the owner points from SK Motorsports but using his own car and they had just signed Championship Bull Riding as a sponsor at the last minute.
I'm back.
ReplyDeleteRe: Conway. I guess if you want to race, you'll sell your soul and other body parts to the devil.
Look at Morgan Shepherd in 6th!
ReplyDeleteoops, MS is 7th
ReplyDeleteTracy
ReplyDeleteYou were the perfect lady within your post. It was my unsavory alleged mind that was a bad girl.
Kenny Wallace is second? wow. I just asked Mikey on Twitter if Kenny had to change his cell phone number after MW displayed it to America.
#15 has come back on track a few times, but is out again. Is it possible he can't maintain minimum speed?
ReplyDeleteNo tracker on ESPN.com, check the earlier comments for the FOX tracker.
ReplyDeleteSomeone please remind me who DNQ earlier today. I thought Morgan was one of them.
ReplyDelete@ Anon 8:33, no leaderboard. With SDDD out front (earlier) that's all you need to know. No other drivers matter.
ReplyDelete#18, #60, #88, #20 and #1 are likely to be at the front when everyone has pitted.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was a lot of laps shown. Fourteen green flag laps before going to commercial, and only 7 missed laps due to commercial
ReplyDeleteDNQs were Rick Ware Racing's #31 (Canada's Daryl Harr) and #41 (Justin Hobgood).
ReplyDeleteScott Wimmer is off the track, anybody know why?
ReplyDeleteKevin Lepage is off, maybe out soon.
Scott Wimmers car is on fire in garage
ReplyDelete#15 can't maintain control & speed they are still working on it
Did anyone else get the new Vanity Fair today? There's an interview with Eliot Spitzer, and his prize piece of "sculpture" in his office is a piece of Jeff Gordon's wrecked car from Michigan, because it reminds him that you can survive anything. Hmmm, wonder what JG thinks of being a source of inspiration for Eliot Spitzer?
ReplyDeleteThis year so many cameras make the track look hazy when it is not. Wonder what that is all about.
ReplyDeleteContrast levels? Not all cameras but some of them.
MRN wants to know where the marshmallows are for Wimmers crew. LOL
ReplyDeleteJojaye, Wimmer on fire? I missed that!
ReplyDeleteI would have rather seen Wimmer's car on fire instead of the brake fluid deal.
ReplyDeleteI think we all missed that.
ReplyDeleteWhere does the US Border Patrol get money to sponsor a race car?
ReplyDelete@Tracy yup -he got it to the garage it was smoking - as he pulled in it burst into flames inside the garage. MRN reporter said the whole front is purple from fire retardants
ReplyDeleteAnd Leffler goes sailing by Kenny Wallace.
ReplyDeletesame place the national guard, army and air force do...
ReplyDeleteSo, will the Shrub lap the entire field? Races like that aren't good for Nascar.
ReplyDeleteOh Crap, Kenny runs out of gas.

ReplyDeleteWhere does the US Border Patrol get money to sponsor a race car?
June 6, 2009 8:50 PM
Probably the confiscated cash, & from property auctions.
@Darbar, I know they were using the Border Patrol car for recruiting purposes, but they're not accepting any applications right now, so... During a downpour at Richmond, we huddled under the Border Patrol tent, and I talked at length to one of the officers. They're not taking any new people on, so I don't expect them to be around next year...
ReplyDeleteWow! That's terrible his car burst into flames. Hope Wimmer is ok. dang
ReplyDelete@Sophia - MRN had an interview with him - he's ok
ReplyDeleteHave we heard anything from a pit reporter about Wimmer? Guess they should read Pit Road Reporting For Dummies Part II
ReplyDeleteI hope Brad doesn't get blinded by SDDD 's cape!
ReplyDeleteUh, JP, that's Brian, not Brad.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of the race.
ReplyDeleteI'm turning off this race. With only 11 cars on the lead lap, this is stupid. Sorry, but I can't be sorry to see the Red Wings car off.
ReplyDeleteOk. I changed rooms...how many places did sweet Kenny wallace lose? He was doing well until then. :(
ReplyDeleteThere's the 26, no **** Sherlock. Name please. It should be Brian Kez the # 26 in the wall. Doesn't JP do his homework and learn who's who?
ReplyDeleteOh boy, 12 cars on the lead lap.
Andrew said...
ReplyDeleteUh, JP, that's Brian, not Brad.
June 6, 2009 8:58 PM
He should stick to using young man & the car number - you know like a cup race!
Once again, it's the Kyle Busch Show - would be willing to bet that the booth guys couldn't go 3 minutes without mentioning him...
ReplyDelete@Sophia - Kenny's 22nd, 2 laps down.
ReplyDelete@Anon 9:00 you are being generous!
ReplyDeleteForgot to say that commercial time does not count in that bet! LOL
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Flowmax sound like an engine performance product? Like an oil type additive?
ReplyDelete@Martin
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for the Kenny answer. Darn it.
Well, folks, I have decided to give my heart and energy to IRL now. Wish everybody got Vs instead it's being some obscure station. Open wheel NEEDS the ratings and eyeballs.
Will read this blog and check off and on with tele.
I lost sound on BSPN and am only hearing *Crickets*
sigh
But Dot, aren't they lucky after taking that stuff, they can go up in a airplane!
ReplyDeleteDot
ReplyDeleteto some guys Flowmax is INDEED an "engine performance" product. ;-)
When I first heard "Flowmax" I thought it was a new version of a Flow bee the hair cutter that hooked onto the vacuum hose! LOL
ReplyDeletezzzzzzzzzzzzz.....such a shame.
ReplyDeleteI know you guys hate the "points as of now" updates, but this is about the guaranteed positions. With Robert Richardson running 24th and Scott Wimmer in the garage in 32nd place, the #23 team is just 3 points shy of catching the #40 for the last guaranteed position for the next race.
ReplyDelete@lou
ReplyDeleteI guess this is my answer on Twitter from Mikey INDIRECTLY about my asking, did Kenny Wallace have to change his cell phone number?
"yall stop calling Kenny. hes tryin to race!"
24 minutes ago from web
I want to know if MW tweets his own stuff? lack of punctuation smacks of a kid, but I dunno. So many have no IDEA how to use Twitter. like @and somebody's name to answer something. Then again, some folks are just rude and think they are too good to answer. But for the most part, I always get answers to a comment I have.
Guess that's as close I am gonna get from Mr. Waltrip
@ Vicky D, just like women's products, you could go horse back riding.
ReplyDelete@ Jo, Flowbee, too funny.
The viewer question about double file restart, Heidi must not be a race fan.
Wow, what car # threaded that needle?
Bad deal for the Nationwide newcomers, Stenhouse just had Caisse and Bayne involved in his wreck.
ReplyDeleteIt was Kevin Conway. Wow.
ReplyDeleteFunny about the horseback riding comment. As a little girl I loved horses and could not WAIT to be able to use said products so I could ride & jump fences on horses! lol
ReplyDelete"Greased cheetah strapped to a bullet train?" Okay, officially the best line of the night.
ReplyDeleteOk some lady on Vs does NOT have a good voice for TV..or radio for that matter. A little grating for my taste. Might be perfect voice for newspaper though.
ReplyDeleteSorry I did not get her name as they went to commercial
That wreck took a whole lot more cars out the race. Maybe the pit road reporters can tell us what is going on?
ReplyDelete@ dear Sophia 9:12, OK, you win. That's the funniest thing I've read at TDP. YOU, my friend are killing me.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!!!!!!!!!!! what a mess of a wreck.
ReplyDeleteOnly 5 guys..seemed like more. Goodness. Redflagged
The ARCA race is over; I wonder if ESPN will comment on the results during this red flag.
ReplyDeleteFinally, interviews in the garage. Would we have them if it were not for the red flag?
ReplyDelete@dot
ReplyDeleteGlad to make you smile, sweetie! :)
Geez I turn on the Indy race and all heck breaks lose. Shaq O newl is wieht some shorter driver.
Eddie Gossage is walking the IRL drivers down through the crowd for driver intros.....wow.
ReplyDeleteAnd Shaq in the house...
Watching Versus too. Nice talk with Helio in the truck riding around the track.
ReplyDeleteLittle has got to go. What did you see and feel? Good grief. Just shut up already.
ReplyDeleteShaq is friends with Luczo Dragon Racing
ReplyDeleteCheck for updates on his twitter account
So, how many does this make on the lead lap now?
ReplyDelete
