Thread: NASCAR in Texas this weekend

Tweet

Man, cousin Carl sure did look good getting the checkers 1st in that blue and white Mustang!!!!!!!!!!

And all Kyle did was pile into another car and go stomping off to pout for awhile - poor baby.

Let's see if Carl can turn the Friday night warmup into a Sprint Cup win

Well, he's getting better... Last year he would have blown up on camera over something neither he or the other driver had any control over.... Got a fast car, a guy out of nowhere blows a tire and takes you out???? I'd have needed some time in the hauler, too!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm Sitting here watching the race as we speak, Dave.

The speedway is ten miles WNW from our house. Ordinarily we can hear the cars pretty well when a race is going on but not this time because the wind is roaring out if the South. Gusts are slapping the cars around a lot but that makes for interesting racing.

My old recliner is comfortable and Mama has allowed me to have a bottle of adult beverage while I watch.

Another thing contributing to my happy condition is the fact that the pre-race ceremonies had a military band playing the National Anthem and I didn't have to endure some howling jackass trying to make it sound like the blues.

Or a spiritual.

Or something like the way that scrawny chick stunk up the place at the Super Bowl.

All is good.

Now if only my man Jeff Burton could get into the lead somehow ........

Seven of the top 10 were Fords! I am liking that! Felt sorry for "Smoke" it was looking like He was going to have a good finish,running out of gas sucked.And poor Dale Jr. 100 races without a win,that's sad.

I'm just thrilled with Matt Kenseth's win! FINALLY! 8-) The Rousch cars were flexxing some muscle last night!

I missed the green up to about 150 left then between ~120 to go and the broadcast sign off, I don't have a clue as to what happened. That recliner just works sooooo well. We just got home from an 11 hour, 640 mile tour through the mountains of Virginia and Penna. I'll watch the rerun later this week on Speed. But 5 out of the first 10 were Ford power

your recliner works that well too.....last night that big long, super comfortable couch put me out with about 60 laps to go.... Not my fault!


Good to see the Ford's going fast again, and great to see Matt bringin' home the hardware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was the first race where the Fords have really been competative. Kenseth's car was great from the beginning.
Now if Biffle could just overcome those two bad races he had and get into the top 10.

Before the big doze off came, looked like Biff was running really strong, too..... Have to punch up NASCAR later and see where everybody came out. But anyway, it sure as heck doesn't look like this season is going to be a case of which Chevy wins this week....Toyota's are Strong, Ford is back, and even the Dodge's show a glimmer of hope!!!!!!
