you must be completely bored!

do you like to chat during the race. there's about 10 - 15 of us starting to met every WCup race now if you people want to join.

I wonder if it's ok to post a link to a chat room here?

:wub:
 
So far...Newman very quick, Jeff Gordon, JJ, and McMurray also pretty quick. But Ryan is pulling away early.

Track will change, teams will have to keep up with it.
 
Junior's car came on good after some laps........

Newman struggles with traffic, as usual, and Jr gets the lead.
 
I'm going to reserve judgment on Jr's car, it looks so good early on then fades away. Gotta keep my eye on that 12
 
Kenseth has his car working very very well.

Perhaps fastest car on track at this moment.
 
Craven either has a fuel pickup problem or the car was never full at the start..........
 
Looks like the Roush cars are having trouble all the sudden.
 
Biffle loses an oil pump belt to debris.............seems teams are gonna have to shield those belts at every track.
 
Seems that Earnhardt Jr's team has really done their homework. I wonder if thats the car they brought over from Richmond, I also heard that they used the chassis from the car that won the 2000 Pontiac Excitement 400.
 
In all my years I don;t think I have seen drivers tangle like that on pit road.............

Big time mistake by Jeff.
 
Since we must have the debris from hell on the track, they could use this time to let us know who got what for tires and such. The lineup changed a ton so teams must have done several different things.
 
what, what kind of bone head move was that? "I didn't know the 15 was pitting" what the crap, he was behind him and followed him into the pits and he didn't think he wasn't going to pit
 
thats stupid with the napa sighn over the pit and all the blue all over the pit, how can u not tell?
 
Some big names have been put a lap down. You guys should check out the live point standings feature at nascar.com, very good feature that they have added.
 
You're not looking at other folks pits..............only yours.

Things happen kinda quick in there so drivers aren't eyeballing the sights.............Maybe later after a few yellow stops you might be aware of who is around you, but this is first time all the cars have been in their pits.
 
48 spins 22, looks like cautions will start breeding more cautions.
 
NOt many gonna pit on this one.........

Bill was getting faster as the laps went by.............Reckon he remembered the gentleman's agreement while Ryan and Michael played cowboy.
 
Looked like it just got out from under Robby.........He's been struggling all day
 
Haha he got that car airborne on the track. He must have been thinking about Baja.
 
thats were I think nascar don't show concitity Newman was infront of bill when they got to the line to take the caution and they pushed him back to second. In some cases they let it stay and some they push them back. Make up uyour mind nascar.
 
Wonder how long Jr's engine will last if he has broken a valve spring?

Another 30-40 laps ??

Looked like Newman gave the spot back............not a call from the tower.

And now they are at it again...........numbskulls
 
Wow ok now we just saw a great reason why NOT to race back to the caution. Those lapped cars almost took out the leader with Dale Jarrett sitting in the middle of the track.
 
if the 88 would have been out of the way I would not care, I like to see racing, but he was setting infront of the finish line that could have been bad.

i would not call them idots but I would say that was a bone head move.
 
the good thing is the were racing around turn 3 but when they rounded turn 4 getting close to the 88 they calmed down.
 
Sorry, don't know if I can tell the difference between a bonehead move and acting like an idiot..........pretty close to hte same thing
 
Come on Mikey............don;t be an idiot.

If NASCAR says let the leader decide, which part of that do you not understand?? It is simple English
 
That is why I have been against racing back to caution fron the start. Someone is gonna get hurt or killed. Then it will be to late. :(
