2016 Pocono - Axalta "We Paint Winners" 400 - Pre Race Thread

Well.

Since the weather is crappy, I'll just go and get my workout in now than wait after the race. I hope they do it today because it's a duty day tomorrow and I would hate to miss the race.
 
Nationwide paying for ad placement.

It really doesn't bother me as much, it is what it is.

Oh I agree - just trying to make a "funny" - thing is - Insurance must be one helluva profitable business.

Between the "Performance updates" and all the folks telling stories with the Statue of Liberty behind them and the "Farmers" commercials...and more.

Insurance companies have to be the biggest money-spending advertisers of all.

You have to give it up to Walmart...they don't advertise much at all...they make money the old-fashioned way.

(selling out the middle class by buying in bulk from China :^)
 
They just had a Dale Jr Nationwide report and he is currently on his computer bidding on an item on ebay, they said after that he will probably lay down for a quick nap.
 
No joke , woke up a bit late, still half asleep, turned the tv on, and starting watching the race, after about five minutes of watching( more like listening) not hearing Gordon's voice, I realized......................................
 
Well if the race isn't coming on I think I'll just go out and buy me some bulk tight-weave metal bug screen from Home Depot and some "Flex-Seal" and make myself a fishing boat.
 
2 p,m and they still haven't called the race officially?

With the blue Penn State scheme Gordon ran last year, it actually looks a little like Chase's car.
 
^#$*%&#%&*!#$#$#%&^ Rain #$*^*&$@#!%&^. We're leaving at 6 AM tomorrow to start our 3 week vacation. Our first leg is seven hours. I'll ask the wife if we can leave at 4 AM so we can watch the race tomorrow at our first stop. :D
 
Any way for me to watch the race via an online recording later that night? I am traveling tomorrow and in a hotel Monday night. I do have Xfinity and could record it at home - but have not tried to watch a recording remotely.

Doubt it would be up on YouTube in any form by then. Try the MRN radio app on your phone?
 
Sucks that the race is postponed, but at least there is an Indycar race at 3:30. Tomorrow should be a slow day at the office, so I should be able to watch a decent amount of the race.

Least there is DTM racing today ;)
 
Pocono race postponed: NASCAR has postponed the running of the Axalta "We Paint Winners" 400 Sprint Cup Series race at Pocono Raceway until Monday. The race is now scheduled for 12:00pm/et on Monday. FoxSports 1 will have TV coverage. The weather forecast for Monday looks good.

Gosh, I hope they follow up during the next Performance Report and let us know if he won the auction. I'll bet one of those dirty rotten Toyota drivers snipes him. :mad:

I used the time to install a new toilet tank flush valve AND flapper value. If that 15 minutes doesn't deserve a pizza, I don't know what does.

Time to see if Indy's gonna run today.

Download the mrn app. It's free.
 
Somebody must have used margarine instead of natural butter ...?



(the funny thing about this commercial is that it has become ridiculous...everybody knows now that natural butter is far better than "margarine" - which is just a bunch of petro-chemicals with some added sugar)

How unfortunate for fans at the track. It's not even raining right now, and might not for another hour or two based on the direction the rain is headed.

The track is located inside the (+) north of Allentown:

Is it safe to assume the track wasn't dry at the scheduled start time?

Gosh, I miss her. She was smokin' hot long before Flo.

Around 2:30 the track sent out a Tweet alerting fans to hazardous weather and advising them to seek shelter and secure light-weight objects and awnings. Gotta give 'em time to tuck tail and turn turtle, esp. since some of them are likely inebriated.
 
Looks like I'm going to be avoiding this website tomorrow.. Balls man why couldn't the 600 have been rained out instead?!
