I like Mark but how long will it take the 55 to fall out of the top 15.
 
Bring on the race. I really think Kasey has a great chance at winning.

I am really looking forward to this race.

I have two coolers ready to go. :)

I'm trying to rally some excitement but I have a feeling we'll see more of the single groove racing we saw in June. But at least we'll have cool weather. I plan on arriving early to take advantage. I'll hit the Tweetup and DTEH display and be in my seat for driver intros, something that never happens. We'll be in section 5 row 9 (free tickets so I can't gripe too much about the low row) so we'll have a really good view of the stage for once.

I am going to be up near the top in section 17.

Text me, you owe me a beer.
 
Kyle Busch is skipping HH practice to go to Montreal (Contractual obligation). Seems like a risky move considering where they are in the standings.

What's he suppose to do? Contractual obligation

This drives me nuts when I see this. How does a driver get a contractual obligation that costs him track time?:confused: That's an hour of track time he's losing to his competition and to me that's big given the situation.

Gives him somebody else to scream at when he blows it at MIS, a PR person for screwing up the schedule. :D

MIS changed to a Friday qualifying schedule only 6 or 8 weeks ago. Also, when KBM and JGR signed off on everything they probably had no thoughts of the 18 team being in danger of missing The Chase.
 
I know that we enjoy ragging on KyBu but if he makes the chase, we may be trying to figure out ways to make crow more palatable.
 
If a situation should arise where Kenseth and/or Biffle are in a position to pull over and give Edwards the win, do they?

Same for Johnson and Earnhardt with Gordon.
 
Here we go again! Heading to the track early today. Aiden wants to go to the Tweet Up and see some driver Q & A's that they have scheduled here and there. Hoping for no rain.
