Saying teams will have to take more time in the pits because a loose wheel will blow a set of tires. I didn't think about that part. Puts a lot of pressure on pit crews.

Nice. Looks a whole lot like the old #8 Bud car, which I'm sure was the intention.

What happens when you throw a blue rock into the yellow sea?
It sinks...

Uh, I'd like to buy a vowel, Pat.
I don't have much of a life, but I have enough of one that it doesn't have room for tracking upcoming paint schemes.

First practice - #88 will replace the engine. Jr. says it's a burned piston.

This is where NASCAR gives them approval, wink, wink for the 'special' engine.
Kevin almost lost it on this last q run.
And Truex really pulled one out the hat.
And Hamlin takes it.

He was standing in the middle of Truex's pit saying there are a lot of Martin Truex fans here last time I saw him.

I'm expecting a bewildered Ato come race day. He will need many things explained to him.

Eh, he's harmless, although I don't know what NBC is trying to accomplish with his segments.
What I know about track and field begins and ends with Usain Bolt, so I'd never heard of him before he joined the broadcast team. I'm guessing most other people hadn't either, so I don't think NBC is using him to draw his fans to the sport. If he's asking questions as a surrogate for new fans, his segments are stuff that's been covered in a variety of ways by multiple networks over the decades. (Does coverage of any other sport spend as much time explaining the basics?)

I never said he was harmful, I have nothing against the bloke, but his time should of been over a few races back , just my opinion of course.

I'll take his 'newbie question' bits over the 'NASCAR lifestyle' nonsense that Rutledge Wood covers. It's just barely possible I may learn something from Ato's questions. Rutledge? I already know how to grill meat and drink beer.
