Awful luck Haley is a future star though if RCR is smart they'll put him the XNS 3 full time

Yep. Can't wait to see what happens.

Torn on this one. On one hand, I have always loved the qualifying on Friday--your guy gets he pole, and they talk about him for two days. On the other hand, from the perspective of attending a race....my son and I got to Sonoma on Friday evening (due to work commitments), attended Saturday and Sunday, and we both felt that it was a very tidy and nice pace for a race weekend. I have cleared my entire day tomorrow, and I am looking forward to it. Making it kind of special--Breakfast for Qualifying, and then pre-race until we go green. Something new.
 
I think tomorrow race will be best race of the year so far.. it's so much tension going on right now lol... LETS GO!!! wish I was there

I hope it doesn't disappoint. Even if it isn't a great race, how wrong can you go? Grill something and have a glass of something...beautiful day.
