Watched a bit of qualifying for the Sprint race, Mark Martin and Smoke on the front row for Sunday's race!
Nationwide race is on ESPN now, good clean race so far. Pheonix is such a unique track and takes good handling and a good brain to finish up front!!! So far, everyone is behaving and it's a good race!
Phoenix flat tracking is sure a totally different show than the big tri-ovals, isn't it?? Still a pretty clean race as you say.
Yeah, huge difference in tracks!!! Anyway, good to see Sadler finally pick up a win, RCR is definitely going to be a factor this year in Nationwide racing!!!!! All the cars were bullet fast!

And that how it should end !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guys.The race is on ESPN/FOX at 1:00.Right??.
[QUOTE=DA34GUY;456710]Yuppers!!!! That would be great, even if Mark is driving a Toyota now it would sure be neat to see him win a few races this year!!!!Quote:

Not much excitement this week. Hamlin was strong almost all day. Marcos Ambros was running well 'til the motor broke. The Biff took 3rd so he should be in good shape points wise.
Missed it all..Busy morning..Will have to look at the highlights later,or tomorrow morning..
Even mid afternoon - it was a good snooze race. Smoke had EFI problems and I believe finishe 3-4 laps back. I also heard on a Sirius interview that Martin had EFI problems as well.Quote:

they ran down to that autozone store next to Lowes
I suppose there will be bugs to iron out,with the new EFI setups..What did Marcos Ambrose do to his engine??Anyone know??Quote:

Maybe it for the sake of a crash to prevent a fire hazard.
Quite possible..If the engine stops,and the power is still on,,there would be a great deal of fuel flowing...Quote:

Cars in Europe - if you 'miss' a start or stall the engine you have to go back to the switch and centered/off then start the procedure all over again - and they have been doing that since the early '90s - and it is a PITA if you are unfamiliar with that procedureQuote:
