I'm kind of surprised that they used a photo with a cigarette but pretty cool just the same.

I'm not expecting #22 to make it to lap 5. Sorry.

Jamie Mac could be a factor in this one.

Lap 5? really? lol Alright well then don't be surprised if that post gets quoted later ;)

Keep in mind he was second fastest in the only practice... and fastest before switching to q trim.. by over 2 tenths.

I know practice don't mean everything but the car is fast for sure. I expect him to pass Denny at the start and challenge Kyle shortly after. Although these expectations could be somewhat biased.. I like what I saw in practice. His left front sticks to that curb like glue.

I have no problem with that.

JoLo is in over his head with that JGR/HMS hornets nest at the front :)
 
...actually thats not entirely true... Joey generally qualifies well here and fades.. but he's proved me wrong a lot when Ive doubted certain tracks and they've been working on their short tack program a lot. They go testing every couple weeks at all kinds of tracks. Were at Memphis last week I think.

He'd be directly ahead of the leaders in a few laps. Have you had Jagerbombs for breakfast or something :eek:

LOL Are you delusional?... maaaybe he'll fall back to the back half of the top 10 after a bit but to say he'll go from 3rd to lapped early is crazy... especially starting inside row 2... that's better than starting second lol... Unless theres a wreck or something I seriously doubt that he'll fall out of the top 10 unles it pit strategy or a bad stop.

I don't know about that but I'm looking forward to seeing how she handles racing with the big boys instead of the mid-packers at Martinsville. She's going to have to get aggressive to stay in the top 10.

Yeah she's used to smashing ain't she.

Also with spinning, crashing, wrecking, and endorsing.

I just meant that the life of a pirate wasn't likely all that great...glamorized in the movies. I'd take golf and racing any day ;)

(besides, this is the pre-race thread...we all go on "best behavior" on the actual race thread)
 
I don't see any rain on the pre-race show...blue skies with fair weather clouds....stands filling up :partytime...and Mikey interviewing a pig!
