[Tennessee Racing]

Back to real racing Saturday.

 

[FLRacingFan]

Looking pretty sunny out now. Nice.

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

During the race: Commercials every few minutes
During the red flag: Commercials every half hour or so.

 

[FenderBumper]

Danica's CC was amazed she missed Kyle while she was doing 10 mph on the apron. Talk about low expectations.

 

[ToyYoda]

Hey Tony Gibson, what is a GoDaddy Chivvy?

 

[MrSluggo]

 

[BrownianMotion]

Danica hath a theckthy lithp.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Just let Danica and Bowyer talk and you can fill all the time you need

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Holy crap it's JJ yeley. They really are desperate.

 

[Magicmiler]

Crashica Pattycake and then JJ i havent finished a race in years .Yelly . And now Cheatin Chad

 

[SpeedPagan]

Just let Danica and Bowyer talk and you can fill all the time you need

That'd be awesome.

Actually pretty impressive, she was climbing bank sideways at 10 mph, and with her head pinned straight forward was able to peripherally see Kyle and avoid him , and were talking 33 degree banking, you need 40 mph to even stay on it.

Producer to Reporter: "Do you like interviewing Danica?"

Reporter: "Heck yes..you ask her one question then all you have to do is nod."

Mikey was so turned on by that Edwards piece he almost fell out of his chair.

Thanks for the report from The Hollywood Hotel.

I don't think expectations have anything to do with it but..yes..it was funny .

It's primarily the broadcast guys that are making it silly though. Everybody knows that the best way to get a woman to go on-and-on is to compliment them (whether they deserve it or not).

example: Husband: "Honey you did a great job of parallel parking there...you are only five feet from the curb"

Wife: "Well I turned the wheel to the right at first...then I turned it to the left - y'know, kind of the opposite way...blah, blah, blah...."

 

[Tennessee Racing]

Kurt made it through an entire interview without calling someone a motherfu****. I'm impressed.

 

[SpeedPagan]

I think another cell is moving into the track now.

 

[Blaze]

Well that didn't look good

 

[SpeedPagan]

I think they're done for the day.

 

[ToyYoda]

I think we're done. Congratulations Carl.

 

[Joniki]

Nope, no work can be done during red flags

Well, you can work on em. Just ask Sterling Marlin...

 

[MrSluggo]

Well that didn't look good

Yeah that looked like a tornader.

 

[VanFan69]

Well, you can work on em. Just ask Sterling Marlin...

That was great wasn't it! You just sat there as he did it and wondered what the heck!?!?!?

 

[PeopleAreStrange]

Yep, a random pop-up (almost) severe thunderstorm that came out of nowhere is headed right for the track.

Might as well give Carl the trophy now.

 

[Magicmiler]

Rain Pole

I'm starting to think Carl controls the weather

Carl Edwards = Rain Man.

Cr@p!! those things can drop a ton of rain in a relatively small area.

 

[BobbyFord]

This thing is over

 

[HoneyBadger]

Sunset is at 8:30 EASTERN time so there's still tons of time.

 

[ToyYoda]

Looks like the Aaron's 499 will be the Aaron's 333 today.

 

[Racer1930]

On the positive side - it likely will save a good many teams some money on fixing cars after the last two wrecks (that won't happen now).

 

[VaDirt]

Well, you can work on em. Just ask Sterling Marlin...

I guess you have a point there.

Call me crazy but it looked like Kyle was doing everything he could to miss her, too.

 

[#17D500winner]

There's plenty of time to get this race in so there's no reason to call it, IMO.

 

[Tennessee Racing]

the Harvick/Gordon finish was the best. I was standing up while watching that one LOL

It and the Craven/Bush finish.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Atlanta 2001 makes me smile every time

 

[Racer1930]

It clouded up here in Atlanta - but now blue sky again - if the pop-up doesn't just camp over the track they may have time for a finish - Fox doesn't have anything else worth putting on TV anyways.

 

[HoneyBadger]

Another Harvick photofinish The Closer on FOX.
