Gotta wonder if they'll get any racing in this weekend, or if Mother Nature will win the event??
Just traded messages with my friend who is there -It looks like the hurricane line is going to stay SSE of Martinsville, but the overall weather is less than ideal...Quote:
It's cloudy and getting cooler by the minute at Martinsville. Tomorrow is likely to be in the 50's and a chance of showers. I don't expect too much serious weather from Sandy.
Might make last week's weather in Kansas look good, huh???
Yeah, the temperature swings here last weekend had them scrambling, to say the least. They said that none of the extra track time on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday meant anything when the track temps went up twenty to thirty degrees! Then on Sunday, it started out clear, sunny and warming and about 30 minutes before race time the clouds rolled in and temps started dropping again! About all the extra miles did was put rubber down on the track, then they set new records for the number of cautions both Saturday and Sunday.....Quote:

Well, they got the truck race in, anyway!!!! Hamlin gets to take home another one of those gorgeous grandfather clocks!!!!
Weather is great in Martinsville, doesn't look so good further North!!! So far the Hendrick's cars are dominating, long ways to go yet and Hamlin is doing his usual superb job of luring around the top ten and waiting to move in for the kill!!!!
And Hamlin gets caught speeding on pit road AGAIN!
I guess Denny just likes passing all those cars two or three times a race!!!!!:LOL::LOL::LOL:
:LOL::LOL: So true! :LOL::LOL:Quote:

That dang Hamlin kid is back up to 3rd again, by my count that's passing about 60 cars so far today!!!! He just might have a future in this stock car racing??????
He always runs great here! I hope he can do better on put road.
Now electrical problems, there goes Hamlin's day. Bummer.
I see he just got back out there.. replaced the main power switch.
drag racing finals at 8 pm! woo hoo! 8-)
Bad Brad qualified terrible, but sure has been driving a smart race so far!!!
Maybe a huge gamble by Brad and crew?!?!?
yup, the old tires just didn't work
Johnson isn't my favorite driver, but he sure deserved that win!!!!
JJ wins again
Yep.. another win for JJ.
