Great piece on the 1980 Mens Olympic Hockey team from NBC....... wait, nevermind...

 

[SpeedPagan]

Nice to see Jamie moving back up through the pack. Maybe we'll get another interesting finish.

 

[Magnethead]

Is anybody counting how many darlington stripes we've had?

 

[mike honcho]

Do they not have trash cans in Cali????????????

 

[SpeedPagan]

Last pit stop for Jimmie. Comon Jimmie, finish in the top 5!

 

[SpeedPagan]

Do they not have trash cans in Cali????????????

I was wondering the same thing. I'm surprise NASCAR hasn't thrown out alot more caution debris for all the trash.

 

[Magnethead]

Am i the only one surprised how long it took the flagmen to put the yellow out for Krashalotski's spin? He had cars running right into his smokescreen...

 

[SpeedPagan]

Dammit Jimmie....

 

[Curves]

Do they not have trash cans in Cali????????????

They are to green to have trash aren't they?

 

[mike honcho]

If you can't sell out the turn 1 seats no better than that You should have to give up the race.

 

[racer8]

They say its all done by the engineers now who figure it out by computor.I don't know what kind of tach Junior has ...................he can read 100 rpm while doing 55mph down a busy pit road.

Don't forget the drivers are rarely wrong.

 

[Magnethead]

Is better to be lucky than good.

Knaus and Jimmie has more luck than a gymnasium of Irishmen

 

[mike honcho]

They are to green to have trash aren't they?

so is that why it looks like 1 big compost heap.

 

[SpeedPagan]

Is better to be lucky than good.

Knaus and Jimmie has more luck than a gymnasium of Irishmen

Either that or they're very good. Jimmie has been running strong throughout the entire race.

 

[Magnethead]

Either that or they're very good. Jimmie has been running strong throughout the entire race.

Jimmie pitted right before the yellow. He just won the race.

 

[SpeedPagan]

Jimmie pitted right before the yellow. He just won the race.

Yay! Go Jimmie!

 

[mike honcho]

Jimmie pitted right before the yellow. He just won the race.

I think Harvick may have something to say about it.

 

[racer8]

C'mon Harvick!!!

 

[Magnethead]

At this rate, a GWC wont be pretty, a double GWC will be an udder mess, and nobody will be left for a third GWC

 

[spok4]

*glued to the TV*

need to be working on my masters work

 

[racer8]

A GWC could make this good.

 

[Magnethead]

A GWC could make this good, but a mid-pack disaster.

 

[spok4]

even if Jimmie wins, still good day for RcR

but 6 to go

 

[Magnethead]

Dang it, Kevin...

 

[spok4]

where did that wall come from

 

[spok4]

2nd, 3rd and 8th?

thats awsome

 

[SpeedPagan]

YEA! GO JIMMIE!!

 

[majestyx]

WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! GO 48!

Congrats to the 29 & 31 too!!

 

[mike honcho]

Well new year,same old winner.

 

[SpeedPagan]

Well new year,same old winner.

Then tell the other teams to get their game together. Not Johnson and Knaus fault that they are able to get their car dialed in at every track.

 

[Magnethead]

Well new year,same old winner.

It was Kevin's to lose, and he lost it.

 

[spok4]

yea Kevin lost it but gained the points lead, lets see how long he can keep it.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Kevin had the best car all day but made two big mistakes. One on pit road and one hitting the wall chasing down JJ.

This race was tiring to say the least.

Some comments on the race -

1. How lucky is Jimmie Johnson really? He got to the line 1 second before Burton could put him a lap down where Busch and Biffle get screwed.

2. Why was Ambros mysteriously out of the race with no explanation again? Has the #47 and all their sponsors decide to become field filler?

3. Nice to Scott Speed is stepping up this year. A 11th place finish might not seem that impressive but this guy couldnt even pass John Andretti in his Front Row Motorsports Car last year.

4. Newman and Kahne deep in the 30's in points are digging a big hole for themselvs. In fact if the top 35 rule came in to affect right now Newman would have to qualify on time.

5. Jimmie Johnson + California Speedway = Nap time.

They said it was an engine failure, same as last week.

 

[blakshukvw]

I see Cali is setting attendance records again.

Yeah makes me wonder why they have 2 races there still. Stupid Nascar! They need to do something to make the racing more competetive. Anytime one team continuously wins, you'll have losses in viewership. They should look at what IMSA did to Porsche,Audi and others.

 

[Mopardh9]

There was plenty of racing 3 wide and 4 wide , but i agree give this track one date.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Harvick summed up this race quite well.....

"Jimmie is a good friend mine, but there's no denying how lucky they are. They have a golden horseshoe stuck up their ass."
