Getting ready for some racing.

Nothing like Darlington on Labor Day weekend.

Open at the green.

 

[TexasRaceLady]

Can't wait --- drop the green and let's GO !
But I'm going to have a hell of a time keeping up with who is in what car. *sigh*

[DSquad48]

I cant tell who's who or who's where.

Worst part of this race. Have to keep consulting the leaderboard online.

 

[UpNorth]

Cars look awesome when they're all out there together! I'll deal with having a tough time seeing who's who.

 

[ChexOrWrex]

That #18 looks so good

 

[jws926]

Not really sure why Jeff is still driving. He must like running around 15th all day.

 

[Kiante]

All the cars looks fantastic.

So much nostalgia!

I had the same flashback.

 

[jws926]

Wouldnt that be cool if we had the same finish tonight like we did in 2003 with Kurt and Matt

 

[klemmabyna]

love darlington. not big on different paint schemes, but these throw backs bring up a lot of fond memories.

 

[Kiante]

Floor it? FLOOR IT

Why Chex, why!?

 

[ChexOrWrex]

Look at all that brake dust

 

[Pat]

A lot of good looking cars!

 

[jws926]

I might be the last to know this, but the throwback weekend is a five year plan, so we have three more years left

 

[Racer1930]

Well Danica is still in the top 30...keeping my fingers crossed

 

[Reck]

Gordon about to go a lap down on lap 60?

LOL

 

[sloggie]

Well Danica is still in the top 30...keeping my fingers crossed

She must get tired of constantly being a lap down.

 

[*WEAVER*]

The crowd is even a throwback, that place is packed.

 

[LouieLouie]

go 42! go #1

 

[Reck]

So the only race Gordon can give input he gets his clock clean? Should have kept those notes to himself.

[ReturnTrip]

Waiting on that first hot dog wrapper caution.

 

[Kiante]

Those STP colors.

Love em.

 

[LouieLouie]

As you can see, we're making some progress! LOL

 

[Reck]

I dont follow?

Oh, Gordon said this was the one race where he had a real input on the car since he tested this package last year here.

 

[Acs]

I'm just loving this non-stop follow the leader lap fest. Not. Someone please blow a tire so we can get a caution.
