If its gonna rain all day Sunday, the titan can't do much.

I committed the sin of not padding my recording by 30 minutes and missed the end of qualifying. I know better and should have used my DirecTV phone app to extend it. Totally forgot.

I keep my NASCAR setting @ a +3 hour window. It may seem like overkill until it comes up short. I've got a 2 DVR Network setup each capable of 2TB worth of recordings. Room to record in not a concern.

The phone apps are very cool. Does DirecTV allow you to watch as well as set your DVR's? My Dish DVR's both incorporate the Slingbox technology. I can hook my phone to any HDMI connection and have my Dish away from home. Technology is great!

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Yes.

At least require them to have lights in the event of inclement weather.

Martinsville under the lights would make a great race even better.

@TheMiniChad
waiting to see how nascar fines itself for the air Titan. don't they have to follow the 100% rule & let 100% of tracks have it?

 

[dpkimmel2001]

So far 8 of the top 10 in practice are all Chase contenders.

 

[Joniki]

The dirty bakers dozen...

As of now its supposed to pass over by 12 or so, if that happens there should be time to dry the track, especially if they had the titan.

I'm beginning to the the Air Titan is nothing more than a myth.

 

[Lazyking]

If it passes over by 12, they'll be able to dry the track and be on by 2:30.

Evil Clint top of the board to end the second practice.

What the hell are they all lookin at

What the hell are they all lookin at

Only 2 are looking at the camera, oddly enough.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

The #22 team being very secretive about the back of the car

It's not. A few showers overnight and into the morning but it'll be fine by afternoon for the race.

 

[Lazyking]

Kasey Kahne strong in both sessions.. As is Bowyer and Jr. Newman struggling for speed big time.

 

[VaDirt]

New conspiracy theory. Why is it that only Kasey Kahne and Clint Bowyer are looking at the camera? Hmmm?

 

[Johali]

Whelan Modifieds at NHMS are on FS2.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Whelan Modifieds at NHMS are on FS2.

Great race so far.

 

[*WEAVER*]

It's a good thing they bring these cars in so we can actually see some good racing.

 

[Lazyking]

No Fs2 stream link anywhere. bummer

 

[TexasRaceLady]

ROTFLMAO

nascarcasm ‏@nascarcasm8m
Ryan Newman takes lead in @nhms modified race. Out of instinct, Bowyer falls off couch in his motorhome. Waltrip claims it's an accident.

 

[KevinWI]

What the hell are they all lookin at

Somebody farted and they're trying to figure out who did it. I know who did it, but I'll let you figure it out.

 

[KevinWI]

I'm beginning to the the Air Titan is nothing more than a myth.

I wasn't impressed with what it did at Talladega in the spring. I think that one picture everybody saw of it at Daytona was doctored. No idea what the tracks are being charged for it, but honestly if I was the president of a track I don't think I'd hire it either. The improvement seemed marginal at best over a traditional jet dryer.

 

[Lazyking]

I hope Newman doesn't win this modified race.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

From the final practice.....

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Yeah, I see the Jeff Gordon there twice too. I can't say as I understand it though.

 

[ted@economy]

I like Louden because it's a flat track. It requires more skill and ability than some of the bigger cookie cutter tracks.
The better drivers usually do good there.

Well said gordonite .

 

[Reck]

Gordon got work to do. None impressive practices and very low on the speed sheet that counts the most.

 

[Magicmiler]

I thought you were in Loudon, what kind of racing did they have in London today.

 

[HoneyBadger]

I wish the ACT Late Model race was televised. Not enough Late Model racing on television.

 

[FenderBumper]

2 separate 10 lap averages of exactly 130.754, 1 was laps 24 to 33, the other 25 to 34. Either there are 2 #24's or someone at chart central messed up.

So.... it was you?

Damn........With the rain coming , it will resemble London tomorrow ...

 

[Reck]

Dome all the tracks and problem solved.

 

[beantownkid10]

Seriously, it looks like another week of frustration for us Gordon fans.

Have zero confidence in Alan to find speed for Jeff.
