Is this the first year back to a night race? I liked the two or three day races they ran, but it didn’t sound like the track sold tickets as well. Hopefully it’s still pretty warm and the track races well.

Hemric 6th in his second Cup practice, at a short track, is nothing short of amazing.

Looks like he fixed something in the suspension, up to 6 or 7 on the leader board. Before that, he was pretty despondent about getting it fixed before tomorrow.

Eh....that top 10 looks a little suspect to me. Seems the bulk of the consistent competitors are mid pack, for some reason. Look at positions 2, 3, 10, and 12.....9 and 7 not usual suspects either....

This is somewhat deceiving. Part of the field ran a few qualifying laps in the first practice and the rest ran theirs in the second practice.

Look at the 10 lap average on MRN.com. Those with big one lap numbers are where they should be....
 
Elliott with solid 10 lap numbers for the 2nd week in a row, maybe this week we'll get to see more than 3 laps.
 
And dear, sweet Mother Nature has relented --- the weather is going to be beautiful
Sure wish I was there.

The coolest part is this new fan walk inside the garages. It’s part of the infield ticket and you will be able to go VERY close to the cars as they work on them (starting in September).

There doing the same thing at PHOENIX INTERNATIONAL RACEWAY (i will never call PIR ISM raceway)
 
My girlfriend's 4 year old was given a lug nut from Chase Elliott's Mountain Dew car for the clash back in February. Crew man handed it to him right thru the window in the garage.

I think I was more excited than he was :D

I didn't hear that, either. I think he made the mistake in not running a bit harder. The tires were getting better with more laps.

He said "for some reason it took the tires seven laps to come in and we only ran two laps". Whose fault was that? He could of ran more laps. Besides I can bitch occasionally if I wanna. :p

If Roush was only consistent, Stenhouse could compete over a race more often. He could win on one of the short tracks this year

Dude can nail a qualifying lap already in that ****box.

happens all the time they show up with a decent car and pit after pit it gets worse
 
Richmond has gotta be up there in the rankings for the track that's reduced seating by the most percentage
