ARCA race is on SPEED now, things are right in the world, Frank Kimmel is leading the thing!!!! Running good so far this year, maybe this is the year for his 10th ARCA championship?????

Called for rain with 20 laps left.... Frank won, his 77th ARCA win and keeps him in the points lead for this season!!!

does frank still drive a ford ? .. i have`nt watched a bit of any racing this year and wont till ford is given a fair chance ....

What's the weather forecast? did they say? Wonder if NASCAR will get practices & qualifying in?

Forecast for Saturday doesn't look good, could be a rainout. Sunday forecast was good, though...

could be real interesting if they can't get practices in and have to race on last years notebook!

They did get the practice sessions in on Friday, no qualifying today and the grid is determined by practice speeds on Friday.... could make for an interesting start!!!!!

yep, but it's a long race so plenty of time for adjustments. First time there with gen6 cars too.

Frank went to work for a new team last year and drives a Toyota.

After a 3 hour rain delay, they're trying to run the Nationwide race now, televised on ESPN.

It's been an interesting race so far. I can't help but say it, 2 car pairings is real racing! something like 30 lead changes so far!!

You know you're at Talladega when 6 cars hit the wall at the same time!!!!!

And what a finish! WOW!

An exciting finish for sure.....but another half dozen or so cars get junked on what turned out to be the last lap. I guess it's to be expected when they run in pairs doing the bump drafting, the second car in the two car draft can't see a thing and big ugly wrecks happen.

It's no different when they are 43 deep and stuck together in a lump, like tomorrow will be... at least the 2 car pairs gives everyone an equal chance, it looked like Kurt Busch had'em covered I thought. Oh well, crazy racing but it was exciting!

I was hoping for Kane to be able to make the big move, which he did, and pull out and win the thing....too bad the yellow came on when it did, he had the win at the finish line!

There just is no cure for the ailments presented by the Superspeedway's, the technology has just exceeded what the tracks can handle! Personally, I wish they'd cut back on the Superspeedway races and go back to having a race at Rockingham and maybe even have a race on the new track in Iowa. Safety on the new cars and the improvements on the tracks have done wonders, but eventually the law of averages is going to kick in and result in a real catastrophe at either Talladega or Daytona......
