I recall a couple of wineries just a few miles up the road.

There’s wine everywhere up there.
If you can’t find it it’s because you ain’t lookin.

Looks as if Turn 4 is going to give some fits.

I know there's wineries. I just wasn't going out of my way to them with the busy traffic in the area.

Ready for conspiracy theory? Hamlin let him win. Felt bad after dive bombing Stewart on his farewell tour. Over drives turn 11 on purpose. Parting gift to former Gibbs teammate and mentor. HamBone takes the secret to his grave.

You do know that 'theory' was all over the 'net before Tony even got to the finish line, right?

I'm still 100% convinced Denny blew that corner on purpose, and nothing anyone says will ever change my mind

Did not know that - good stuff.
I’m in the Mother Lode and temps are trending a bit higher than forecast.
I’d bet low 90s. It could be a heck of a lot worse.
Find some shade and enjoy!

Larson winning Q again here. Unfortunately, they don't get big checks and points for Q

A typical research tour at the South Pole lasts months. Why would you insure your car with GEICO or anyone else when you won't be driving it?

How long until Lar2on burns the tires off and fades this year?

Byron and Logano are probably going to push matters so I don't think it will be long.

The field will flip-flop all over the place. I expect pandemonium in like the first 5 laps or so.
Suarez is coming around now in the 41 as well, he's becoming more and more consistent starting up front and finishing there. Great sign for him.
Byron as well. A lot of good road racers, so it should be a fun one tomorrow.

The team is pre-scuffing the first 3/8th of an inch off to save time.

When I travel that far to a race I bring the Florida weather with me so that I can feel at home.I blame @Johali.
He came up to Chicagoland for the race last year and the temps were in the upper 90's the whole weekend.
This year his road trip is to Sonoma.

You think it's so freaking easy to turn perfect laps that if you make a mistake, it just has to be done on purpose? I promise you, it's not. Also, what possible motive does Hamlin have to throw the race? I mean, he's no favorite of mine, but as much as I dislike the guy, even I can't imagine him being that stupid. Sheesh.
Like most of the Nascar conspiracy theories bandied about on the internet, this one doesn't stand up to logic, IMO.

Denny choked and overdrove the corner because he was defensive and scared. It was Tony's last year so Denny knew (plus a driver he looked up to and learned from) he would do something.

^ Denny Hamlin has blown plenty of corners since that one. So has Tony Stewart. So has every cup driver, every F1 driver, and every MotoGP pilot as well. I don't know where people get the idea that driving a racecar on the absolute limit is like a machine punching out widgets or something. It's not like that at all.

I didn't say it is? Denny just blew the corner hard. Denny isn't exactly a closer.

I was agreeing with you... at least that was my intention. Sorry if I wrote it badly. Yes, Denny blew the corner. Yes, he has a history of folding under pressure. My comment was directed to the conspiracy theorists, not you.
