Biff dropped a valve. He was doing good inside the top 10, till the motor problems. Not really all his fault.
There's a week off, then the Brickyard!!
I'll try to remember to bump the thread then.

Please remind me....I am just in from a week long camping trip (never got a chance to change my drivers). Leaving again this Sat. for another week, then every weekend for the following 3 weeks....
This makes it very difficult to keep up.

Figured I bump it early, so we could talk about the Nationwide race at Gateway, which I didn't watch
Anyone else see the Carl/Brad smash up at the finish??
Personally, Edwards really shouldn't be back in a Nationwide car for the reminder of the season, but I have a feeling he's going to be missing 3 races. NASCAR usually issues their penlaties on Tuesday, the fact that they haven't said anything yet, doesn't bode well for Edwards.

Well ever since that BS at Atlanta I have Refused to even run Edwards. To me he is the biggest AHOLE in the circut and Needs to be tested for Steroids. Sorry been around enough people on them and he has ALL THE SYMPTOMS OF ROID RAGE.

Look at the first contact, watch Keslewsky's line through the corner. Kinda rose colored glasses Pollyanna thinking not to admit he hit Edwards on purpose, he just chose a less obvious spot to do it than Edwards. Given the past history between these two I am not surprised Edwards punted him.
I think they are going to have to tell BOTH drivers the next one to hit the other car for any reason is going to get parked for the rest of the race.

They were a little different dude.... Brad's contact in turn 1 was exactly what NASCAR wants from its "Boys have at it racing." Just some rubbin' from two cars going for the win.
Edwards basically did a P.I.T. maneuver on Brad, something like you'd see on cops... That's not acceptable on any level racing, even online you'd get kicked off for that....

Wow... You gotta feel for JPM at some point, again the most dominate car all race, and something happens.If Harvick would have won, would have been big for bonus points during the Chase. Congrats to McMurray though, winning around the outside of Harvick, not a lot of guys could do that.
I will say it was a pretty good Brickyard. For all the hype and excitement that goes along with Indy, the actual racing on the track itself has been rather tame. This year was enjoyable to watch. Really nice to see the Corvette ZR1 out there pacing the field. Always cool when a pace car could go run with the race cars
Fantasy was very close. Everyone who seemed to have problems in the first lap crash, or the proceeding overheating problems, eventually seemed to recover.

So who are the two 'mystery drivers' that got fined $50K for making disparaging comments about NASCAR?

Here is the USA Today article that one is derived from;
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/motor...terstitialskip
I'm unsure whether the comments were about Sunday's race staggering low attendence, or that they mean two drivers over the course of the season have seen fined for comments about NASCAR.
At the start of the race, I did hear one of the commentors say "Alright, let's get this out of the way, there's no hiding that the stands are half full." Which struck me as odd, as to why they would even mention it.

Attendance down? I'm not surprised. For one, who wants to watch Jimmie Johnson win, or at least finish in the Top 5, every week (yea, he didn't do too well at Indy)? He's become the new Jeff Gordon. Everyone got sick of him winning all the time a few years back. Then there's the cost of attending a race. Unless you live near a track, you have to drop at least $500 in driving, food, and hotel costs for a weekend of racing. If you fly to a venue, that's another $300 - $400 per person. Then the Two-Day ticket is what, $200 - $400, depending on where you sit? With the economy sucking as much as it does these days, how can a family of four afford dropping $1000 - $2500 just to watch cars go around a track for a few hours?

I don't think it is just that, it costs a lot. But the problem is the COT imo... Their races are getting too cookie cutter. Part of the charm of NASCAR has always been the fact that they aren't corporate, they still used leaded gas, carborators. They stood political correctness on it's head. Now there is talk, quite serious talk of them going to E85 fuel.

Bump! Everyone as a couple hours left to switch out their drivers...
Anyone hear of the Cat in the Hat's plane crash today?

Jack Roush is in serious but stable condition. He managed to walk off the airplane, but has severe facial lacerations, and broken ribs.
