I'm not a huge MWR fan but 3 of the top 6? Not bad at all.

Points leader starting mid-pack.

No Earnhardt - 1st time in what, 33 years? Damn.

Another 1.5er. Damn.

Allmendinger back in a Cup race. Who was that that said he'd never be back? Oh yeah. Link

AJ's going to find out pretty damn quick he never should've agreed to Road to Recovery. He'll be in that program permanently. - AndyMarquisLiveAug 15, 2012 :D Just funnin' Andy.
 
It's unbelievable the amount of interest in this upcoming race. I guess it's all of the excitement that a 1.5er generates. I sure hope there's something to talk about once this race gets going.

I usually enjoy the Charlotte races no matter what so imagine my jubilation as the #17 takes the checkers Saturday night. And can't we just call it Saturnight or Sunight and so on?

Actually, that's three letters. ;)

Nah, I don't really like to watch DVR'd races. Well, except for the dirt races that are on from time to time. For this, I'll just check my phone throughout the night.
 
I'm always excited for this track, mostly because Kasey is the true master here with his highest number of wins at any track.

I'm gonna hold you to that and give up the #2 qualifier to put Kasey in . Please post your address and telephone number.

Regan Smith qualified 26th in the 88 but has been in the Top 10 speed-wise during practices.
He's doing himself proud!

Newman to the back after an engine change. That means JJ will start on Row Two.
I'm just sayin...

Sometimes I prefer them! I don't even care if I learn who won before I watch.
 
They're showing Kyle as fastest lap so far in HH, but if you look at fastest average speed, Newman is fastest.
Except, Newman goes to the rear for an engine change. Apparently Hendrick is still pissed off at Tony knocking for Jr. out of the running :D
