This "official" race title is confusing this time. The spring race was titled "Bubba Burger 250". The current name was usually the fall's race name.

So, last year's Spring race winner (Bubba Burger 250) was Denny Hamlin

Last year's Fall Virginia 529 College Savings 250 winner was Kyle Busch

One of my favorite tracks. Went there for years. Loved it. Gotta get back there some day. This has to be one of the best tailgating tracks on the schedule.

 

[Matthew2470]

My all time favorite track. It's perfect in every way.

Lets hack KB's twitter account and send Kevin and Delana some nasty tweets on Friday.

 

[NeverNeutral]

Why doesn't Steven Wallace have to qualify on time?

They don't give points for wrecking.

 

[Clutch]

Pastrana's first race. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

 

[basscatcher89]

Extra body panels went into each trailer this week just hearing steven gonna be in a car.

 

[Jeffrey00]

My all time favorite track. It's perfect in every way.

I am with you on this one. instead of cookie cutter 1.5 mile tracks Nascar should make all new tracks like Richmond!

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Pastrana's first race. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Sounds like some of his fans aren't thrilled with his move to Nascar. Danica and Pastrana on the same track at the same time. Will anyone else get tv time?

 

[ted@economy]

Danica and Travis are ideal additions to the Nascar Nationwide line up and should bring much needed new fans . It may well take two years for either to be competitive,I hope their fans will wait.

Some don't want to wait. They think that because Danica is there, she should be winning soon. Wrong they are.

KuBu if he blows a motor.

 

[MOEJOE]

I think its great that pastrana is trying to run. He seems very real world about how it works. His fans however, are diluted.

or a yap gasket.

It's all that Red Bull

That would be the cat's pajamas.

Kurt is pist off again! And his ranting reaches a point of pitched squelch, and then, he gets some spit in the old wind pipe. ALL of a sudden he starts hacking and coughing. Then, he pitches it into the wall when he thinks its almost all over.

You better not be just trying to get me lost out in the woods.

 

[MOEJOE]

Once you get lost, give me a call. I will send the POSSE out to look for you.

cue the banjo music.

 

[MOEJOE]

That's great. I wondered why he always makes fun of KURT!

 

[MOEJOE]

cue the banjo music.

Even worse, up in these parts, it's not a Banjo. It's the skin flute.

 

[FenderBumper]

I think we should mess around in that Limey thread.

Danica and Pastrana on the same track at the same time. DW's gonna need a prescription for Detain X!

 

[DanicaFan]

Pastrana's first race. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

This is what Im anxious to see too. I hope he has a great race.

 

[MOEJOE]

I've been looking forward to Pastranathon since last fall.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Danica or Pastrana; Who has the best finish tonight?

 

[MOEJOE]

Danica or Pastrana; Who has the best finish tonight?

Pastrana.

And, when will Steven Wallace go back to the garage?

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Pastrana says pic Danica.....

I think this is a 250 lap race tonight so I'm going to go 217 laps completed for Steven. I'm probably giving him more credit than he deserves.

 

[#17D500winner]

Pastrana.

And, when will Steven Wallace go back to the garage?

And, who does he take with him?

I'm going to pick Patrick over Pastrana. IMO, she's somewhat held her own so far this year and I don't see why she can't continue that tonight.

 

[#17D500winner]

I see #60 missing this race. You know things are crazy when Steven Wallace can get a sponsor and Bayne can't No #21 in cup either.

 

[ted@economy]

Danica or Pastrana; Who has the best finish tonight?

Patrick...better equipment ,more experience . Partrick 15th ,Pastrana 30th.
