Earlier in the year, a similar qualifying effort netted us the infamous "Does Jeff Gordon even care anymore? " thread.

It's not that serious
Is Martinsville pre and post race traffic bad?

First time I went to The Only Race in the Chase, traffic was a breeze. Last year, it was dense but nowhere near as bad as traffic at the races at Richmond, Baltimore or Dover.

The "good old days" ??
It isn't bad at all, with 3 entrances / exits that lead to different areas of the main roads. I parked near the exit behind the Sprint tower and took a country road that crossed the main road a couple miles south of the track. About 1/2 hour from lot to highway. You can also pay $10 to park in the grassy area in front of the main grandstand. That was a 10 minute exit and gone on Sunday.

JEB is correct. It was after the qual run...
"His qualifying was pi$$ poor 17th...all his teammates are far ahead of him. Why even bother...just retire or become the new Terry Labonte of HMS.......I like Jeff but at least show the fans something!"

At this point, if you tweet "Ate 14 Martinsville hot dogs today" I'll just assume whatever emergency room you're in has kick-ass wi-fi.

Could be pretty important on a tight pit road:

Honestly, last two times I went, I had 10 of those things each time. They're real small and cheap. Easy to eat a bunch!
I figure I'll be consuming a similar amount afterwhile, when I get there.

Questioning the turnout for today's race. Campgrounds are full but parking lots are empty at most motels/hotels. Doesn't look good.

Wait a minute… Junior Johnson had to go through NASCAR’s pace car driver tutorial at Martinsville? Um. I figure he knows his way around here
