That was great. :beerbang:
 
:cheers:

I think I enjoyed that more than any race I have watched on TV in the past ten years. Kudos to ESPN!
 
It's nice to see something like this. Very good idea...if only they can add a few more drivers next time.
 
DAMN!!! and we missed all but the last 2 laps because of construction!

when's the re-air?
 
That was a great race even though i was rooting for Rusty and Terry, good job ESPN for showing the race and redeaming themselvs for there poor coverage at the Nationwide and Sprintcup series.

Their Nationwide coverage was ok except their obsession with Steven Wallace when they should've been focusing on Allgaier.
 
What are you talking about they said justin's name every 5 minutes. I hope they stop because i dont want him to become one of those to everybody. He isnt hollywood like alot of the young drivers and I hope he never does.


Cool race though. What kind of engines were they using looked like crate motors that were tuned way back because they hit the gas and it was like they didn't go anywhere.
 
Loved it but it was too short. Could'da watched them race all night. Harry should have been given his position back, IMHO. Another 10-15 laps or a yellow and JD would have had Rusty, possible Sterling. No Smokin' Joe on Jimmy's car. :mad: ( I know why)

Guys 50-60 and one 71 running race school late models, little bit of rubbing, clean racing, nobody put anyone into the wall. Saaaalute:cheers:
 
Steven better watch out. Rusty was having such a great time he may boot steven out of the car for a few races to get back into it. Im sure espn can put all the cameras on the car like TNT use to do with wally when he ran the busch races that they were showing on tv.
