Loudon Pre Race Thread

From National Speedsport News, just now:

Jimmie Johnson, who qualified second for Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, has had his qualifying time disallowed. His car failed post qualifying inspection. The front of the car on both sides was deemed too low by NASCAR. He will start at the rear of the field for Sunday's race.

:partytime
 
Awww snap, JJ is starting at the back :(. Now I'm sad.

About BK getting the pole though, yay! This not only puts the 2 team one step forward towards making the chase, but this also lets him into the unlimited!

Btw what happened to Stremme in qualifying? Did he spin?
 
Considering only about 25 cars are competitive, JJ can be in 25th or so by lap 50, then no tires pit stop move would get him in the top ten easy.
 
I'll be there. Wearing glasses a hat and a headset. Cant miss me.
Sun glasses, panama jack straw hat, headphones, today I'll be in the third row down from the top in aisle seats under the overhang just past the start finish line, tomorrow I'll be on the same row in aisle seats and a little further past the start finish line.
 
Pretty excited to watch the modified live on tv today. I hit up my local tracks here in CT to see the tour since this is like their home base. My favorite look of a race car by far.
 
Does anyone know where I can watch it streaming? I'm out of town and no access to TV but I can access the internet with my laptop and tablet.
 
Ouch!

I cant figure that picture out DP. Did the machine break.
 
OK people. 42 other drivers will watch in awe as THE best driver in NASCAR sweeps the weekend @ NHMS. Thats right. Kyle Busch will display tecnical prowress, elevating stockcar driving to a new art form. Be amazed at the steel reolve exuded by arguably the best driver in the sport today. Enjoy TNT's last broadcast of the season from THE Magic Mile @ Loudon .This has been a diatribe by your friendly Magic Miler.
 
Leaving for the grandstands, my picks for today 1st- 24, 2nd- 16, 3rd- 51, 4th 18, I would have left the 18 out but I have him in my fantasy picks.
 
Is there a reason there are 301 laps instead of a good round 300? My OCD is freaking out
 
48 car having trouble passing pre-race inspection.....................................
 
Pokass basically saying just standard stuff. Has to go through laser tech again. That every team had to. That this happens every week. Just have to hem the car a bit.

Not every team had to take the car back to the garage and make adjustments ;)
 
Must be a carryover from the Lenoxx 301 race they had for the last 10 years.

Yep.

Organizers added an extra lap from 2008 to 2012 to represent that Lenox Industrial Tools "is looking for users and suppliers of industrial tools that go the extra mile, whose jobs are physically demanding, day after day, and still find time to contribute to their communities in a meaningful way."
 
Hmmmmm. Countdown to Green on TNT, or Lucas Oil Late Models on Speed? No brainer ;)
 
Picking the 78 team to break through today. Front row on the front row.

I hope Kes didn't write his own jokes for that show. Awfully lame even for real comedy writers.
 
whatever the 48 does is going to be interesting for lovers and haters alike. They aren't going to wait up for him. I won't be surprised if he gets into somebody trying to move up. Chad still doing what he does in tech. Nobody has won from last. Kez and Kurt, huge race for both.
 
God damnit, I love this track. I should go to this race some time.

#88 starting third... could be a contender today.
 
Maybe Tony Stewart can translate some his anger from last night into a victory today
