[Get That 88 Up There !!]

Michael Waltrip (talking about Jeffery Earnhardt): “Once that green flags drops, he’ll be up their mixing it up”

 

[SlicedBread22]

Hell of a pick up for Jones

 

[FLRacingFan]

People were surprised at the end of last year that Erik Jones was replacing Matt Kenseth? Wasn’t that announced in the summer?

Right?

 

[SlicedBread22]

Anyone not sitting on the front row should be disappointed with their qualifying effort DW.. Whether they qualify 3rd or 33rd they can still start 3rd..

Did Mike Joy say Bill Elliot was the last two time winner in the 500? Sterling Marlin won it in 94 and 95. And Dale Jarrett won it twice also.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Oh man. Some people are gonna screw up throwing a late block.

 

[SlicedBread22]

Anyone but Denny at this point

Johnson, Kenseth, and Gordon, the man next to him. Joy is slipping

 

[SlicedBread22]

[SlicedBread22]

Wow a tenth and a quarter over second! Impressive... Insert foot in mouth

 

[HoneyBadger]

LOL the offseason storyline wins the pole.

 

[Pat]

[Efisher131]

And the trend of the biggest off season storyline winning this pole continues

 

[FLRacingFan]

Well that lap just destroyed the field.

 

[JBone88]

Bowman the Showman!

You are correct. I'm about as informed as Joy.

 

[ByronFanatic]

Hendrick P1 is always good. 3 of the 4 Hendrick cars are in Dual 1 with Chase in Dual 2. Now I am ready for the Clash!!

 

[Pat]

DOH!!!!! How could I forget Jr.?

 

[HoneyBadger]

Mike Joy is one of my favorites. Hate to see him making these slip ups.

 

[FLRacingFan]

“Most anticipated Duels ever”

[ByronFanatic]

MW has lost it."Most anticipated duals ever"...

 

[StandOnIt]

I thought Joy was talking about the number 9

 

[FLRacingFan]

Lonely Duel for Suarez. Sole Toyota in his race.

I have always liked Mike Joy. He's always been a class act. Not to mention he took a scolding from AJ Foyt on live tv. AJ was hot, and he took it out on Mike. Mike conducted himself very professionally.

 

[kymartin6]

I thought Joy was talking about the number 9

Actually I thought he said 2 poles in a row.....

 

[FLRacingFan]

Actually I thought he said 2 poles in a row.....

Ken Schrader though.

 

[kymartin6]

[StandOnIt]

[Speedbowl14]

LOL the offseason storyline wins the pole.

It wasn't even close...

 

[Speedbowl14]

Not on the backstretch for the infield bus stop.

 

[HoneyBadger]
