    ..................and ESPN3 is covering NHRA Arizona Nationals Qualifying this weekend.
    They weren't planning to carry NHRA this season but due to public demand they've changed their mind. Hope this means the whole season & not just Firebird this weekend.

    Yeah, seems the "C" Pillar was a little wide on the car for the 500.... It was an inspection prior to the car being on the track, so I don't suppose they'll be too tough on them.....

    Oh yeah, in practice today for the Bud Shootout there was a 5 car wreck... Cars seemed to run faster today in a pack then they did trying to run in pairs---- The Shootout tomorrow night could be quite "interesting" with a whole pack just going for the win and not caring about points!!!!!! There was also a few cars playing around in practice to see what the EFI would do under various situations they could encounter on pit road....things seemed to work out good, so far!

    Yeah, we'll see how bad Chad was leaning on the envelope and how bad Nascar wants to protect their baby! I still think he wasn't aware the camera was on last year and got caught at something.

    I actually like the 2 car pairings! I like it a lot more than 40 plus stuck in a line and no one dare break out for fear of ending at the tail... The 2 car "teams" have provided more lead changes and not always "the Names" at the lead and I prefer that!

    Another record!! Bobby Gerhart just won the ARCA Daytona race for the 8th time!!!!! They took a chance on fuel and made it to the checkers while everyone else in front of him was running out! All the rookies behaved, a nice clean race!!

    If it wasn't for the Speed, Discovery, and Nat Geo channels I probably wouldn't even bother turning the TV on!!!!

    Anyway, time for the big boys and the Bud Shootout now!!!!!

    As the Budweiser Shootout is about to begin just a bit of a warning to you Barcalounger racers...................................Bud does not make you wiser......

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Well, didn't take long to get the first big wreck in the Shootout! The tandem racing doesn't work cuz of a rule change on the air openings at the front of the car making the car overheat in a hurry, so it's back to pack racing so far tonight!
