2014 Bristol - Food City 500 - Pre Race Thread

While the talking heads yammer about this car beong the fastest that Nascar has ever seen, the speeds are down about a 1/4 second from last year.
 
Everyone's wrecking already. By time the race starts Sunday night or Monday the rubber will washed away too. Should be an exciting night race.
 
Danica...It would be cool to root for you, but....GEEZ!

Get it together before SHR decides to cut the weight and go to 3 teams.
 
If Michael McDowell is second right now I have a feeling the track record is in danger. Everyone else is in race trim and he's in q trim. Brad is about 3 tenths off right now in race trim.
 
quite a few drivers and crew chiefs are shaking their heads about now. Qualifying should be pretty good.

Kyle Busch looking to lead 10,000 laps: #18-Kyle Busch is approaching a major series milestone, one that could come this Sunday at Bristol. With 140 laps led - something he's done four times at Bristol - Busch will become the 15th driver in NASCAR Sprint Cup Series history with 10,000 laps led.
 
I know it's not cup, but it's crazy that Sam Hornish Jr doesn't have a full time Nationwide ride. The guy almost won the championship and now he's a part timer? Stupid......

I believe he's also Kenseth's standby driver for Californ i a
 
If the chances of rain on Sunday get any higher, it will be a sure thing for Tuesday racing. I'll practically have the place to myself.

Of course you know how my brain farts are but I thought at one time he had a Lumber Liquidators truck painted like that.

You're probably right. I know that was his sponsor a few years back so they probably did something like that at some point.
