I'm still agonizing over my picks. That B section has too many choices . If you would just let me pick 3 in B for this week ,that would be swell DPK.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Did you know?

Richmonds's first 24 NASCAR Sprint Cup races were run on dirt until the track surface was changed to asphalt in 1968.

Only if I get to run all four.

 

[dpkimmel2001]

Did you know?

The first NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Richmond was held on April 19, 1953 that was won by Lee Petty.

 

[FLRacingFan]

It's really too bad the Short Track Showdown isn't televised. The other two races should be great though.

 

[KevinWI]

One of my favorite tracks.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Kyle will get back on track this weekend. He will win the Nationwide and Cup races.

Stewart fan a cup of coffee says bush will be out of the top 15

The #2 is always blue.

 

[AustinDillon3]

The #2 is always blue.

I know but the red looks so much cooler

This is weird.

I like it

 

[Nitro Dude]

The #2 is always blue.

I only see two choices (red or green) because I have never seen a blue apple. But, it does make me want to go out and buy a bottle of apple ale.

 

[FLRacingFan]

That #2 looks pretty cool. I'm sure it will look even better under the lights Saturday night.

 

[BrownianMotion]

I always love Richmond races.

 

[pjmolo]

it's a different look for sure but I think it's pretty cool looking

 

[Captain Coyfish]

According to Jayski, it will run in two races. Anyone know the other?

 

[kkfan91]

I'm predicting a repeat of may 2005 a dominating performance by Kasey Kahne

 

[breatheoflife]

According to Jayski, it will run in two races. Anyone know the other?

Pocono in August.

What's wierd is that apple. If you stare at it long enough, strage things start to happen.

Favorite track on the circuit. A short track that has enough banking for multiple grooves, fast speeds, close racing, and under the lights.

It's kinda funny how exactly what you described didn't fly too well @ Bristol.

 

[TchainT]

Yeah I would have never guessed that a California race would be better than Bristol. But it happened.

She was on the Colbert report. It was a joke that he wanted to sponsor her.

Sucks that I don't get ESPN news. Can't watch tonight's nationwide race.

Thanks for the info.

I thought it was her ex and she was going to wipe that smile off his face on the side of Gillilands car after what happened last week.

 

[Joniki]

The South Park episode cracked me up.

[dpkimmel2001]

Neil Bonnet's crash into the guard rail @ Richmond in 1985. Man, we've come a long away over the years.

 

[FenderBumper]

Those cars are only doing about 70 mph. Things sure have changed a lot.

 

[Quackjack]

Time for Kevin to get back on track...

 

[ted@economy]

Qualifying on now. Speed.

 

[Tennessee Racing]
