thanks Mr E....

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Interesting trophy for the winner.

 

[Mr. E]

thanks Mr E....

No problemo.

 

[Clutch]

Interesting trophy for the winner.

If Kyle wins and wants to smash it to smithereens.......... I'd be OK with that.

Amen to that.

 

[29-4]

Took the plunge for my second race in a month! It'll be the first time to Chicagoland as well for me.

 

[DUN24]

Someone's kid is going to end up with that in their playroom. It'll be covered in feces and crumbs in no time.

 

[R Clarence]

Classy trophy. Right up there with the Cheez-It thing Hamlin won.

 

[Pat]

If Kyle wins and wants to smash it to smithereens.......... I'd be OK with that.

Me too!

 

[DanicaFreak]

imagine if a first time winner wins that....imagine that on Patricks, elliots or blaneys mantle oooo

 

[Kiante]

I like the trophy.

Call me young.lol

 

[AdoubleU24]

Qualifying cancelled. Chase contenders will line up as they are 1-16. Cause NASCAR couldn't squeeze in qualifying at any point tomorrow

 

[Kiante]

Custer and John Hunter Nemechek start next to each other today...

I wonder how clean they will be with one another?

 

[DSquad48]

First race of the Chase and the 48 is leading practice

Gordon had arguably the best car in this race last year after struggling mightily all season on the 1.5's. I think Alan will give Chase something more than decent to work with this wknd. Looks good so far.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Yeah, that one will be staying at the shop.

Nah, I can think of no better winner to receive this beauty than Austin Dillon.

I bought tickets Friday once we were satisfied with the weather forecast. Can't wait!

Gordon was the only guy that passed Hamlin all day. But that favor was returned.

Hopefully the turtle trophy brings more grade schoolers into NASCAR like Jurassic Park Jeff Gordon did for our great sport in 1997.

 

[BSDShoes]

Are some of the cars going to have the Turtles painting on them?

 

[Charlie Spencer]

See post #24, or Jayski where I quoted from.

 

[4tires17gals]

Should be better than New Hampshire but not as good as Rockingham.

 

[NasNYG567]

FYI, Regan Smith is still waiting for the birth of his child so Ty Dillon will be in the #7 today.

 

[DUN24]

Ahhhhh raceday morning. Marine layer is dying off(for what it's worth, not like the tv is outside....) I'm about to eat a gnarly breakfast, and then watch about 5 races back to back, maybe a couple naps here and there.

Nice little Sunday.

 

[29-4]

The sightlines here are great! Never been to a speedway where I could see the whole track from the cheap seats I buy...

 

[BSDShoes]

Kyle is on TV, quick cut to commercial!
