Team hasn’t said yet. RT @stormfan169: @jeff_gluck any news if tony is racing this weekend?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

You heard it HERE first...

Still up in the air. Dafuq you talkin about?

 

[ToyYoda]

You heard it HERE first...

Based on?

If this is merely a prediction, perhaps the Atlanta pre-race thread would have been a better spot for this.

 

[JimmieGordon2448]

Really rooting for McMurray. Guy is such a class act and it would be awesome to see him in the chase.

 

[JEB]

This thread delivers!!!

 

[dpkimmel2001]

If all that's being offered up in this thread is an opinion then why a new thread? If you've got some kind of breaking news on Tony racing this weekend then post a link to the source of information.

If this keeps up, we'll need to get Rudy Giuliani out of retirement to RICO his ass!

Dale Earnhardt Sr. takes his first win at AMS in 1980.

 

[FLRacingFan]

One of the best head-to-head battles I've ever seen:

 

[FLRacingFan]

Everyone knows the finish...but what about the last ten laps as a whole? Less than a second separating 1st and 5th lap after lap after lap. Tremendous racing.

The good old days of racing, Lord, how do I miss it!!!!!!!!!!

 

[StandOnIt]

Looks like a second gen 77 model.

 

[BobbyFord]

It's a Gen 2 Monte Carlo ('73-'77)

Love the old Monte Carlo, my dad had a brand new '77 black on black with the swivel seats.

Now's there's something you don't see anymore, swivel seats.

First non plate track Logano didn't make the final round. .. would have been nice to carry that streak to at least the chase cut off...Meh, worse things have happened lol

[FLRacingFan]

Harvick now has as many poles this season (six) as he did from 2001-2013 with RCR.

Guess he made the right call to switch ...

No doubt. Big disparity in equipment between those two organizations. He overachieved for years there.

So, JoJo didn't make top 12...I've read on here somewhere that when bad things happen to good people it's all Hamlin and KyBu's fault Making the Chase; that's Gilliland but we don't speak of the past unless it's to blame someone else.
