... was good for a nap.

Wildthing dominated. Chad McCumbee, Terry Cook, Ricky Carmichael, Max Papis, TJ Bell and Gabi DiCarlo all had respectable runs. Most importantly for Ricky and Gabi - they finished the race and both inside the top 20.

Auto Club Speedway's official mascot should be a Serta Matress.

You may have been kidding about the nap part, but I fell asleep with 10 laps to go.
Had the kitten in my lap and dozed right off.
First time that has ever happened.

Seriously was I dreaming during the rest of the race, or was it just Busch, commercial, Busch commercial, Busch commercial, etc?

I thought everyone thought truck racing is the best??????:rolleyes:
 
That new rule tires or fuel has to be the most insane thing to come out of Na$car ever.
 
Todd Bodine was the real winner today in his unsponsored truck. WTH has Bush got to prove by running in these races with major backing when the series regulars are trying to score championship points and money to make the next race?

I have not heard that one yet. Whats the rule? One or the other when you pit?
 
Thats got to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard in any kind of racing. Why? I don't understand nascar anymore with the junk they come up with.

It most definitely was a snoozer.

I was happy to see Carmichael get a good finish, along with McCumbee.

That was a horrible race, I get Speed back on my cable so I can watch the Trucks, and various other racing related stuff, and what do I get but a boring truck race! Never thought that I would see a BORING Truck race! Has to be the track I guess, plus Kyle really had the field covered, looks to me like he has both the truck and the Nationwide car prepared so well all he has to do is point it and it will go where he wants it to. Hope the Cup race is more interesting or I'll be sleeping by 8:30 pm.

tweaks fueling rule for trucks: NASCAR has tweaked the pit-stop rules for Camping World Truck Series teams as it will force them to use one crewman to fuel the car instead of giving them option of using two crewmen. NASCAR instituted a rule this year that allowed only five crewmen over the wall on a pit stop, and a team can no longer change tires and fuel the car on the same stop. In the past, when teams were allowed to change tires and fuel the car on the same stop with a limit of seven crew members, teams would use five crewmen to change tires, one to fuel the car and one to hold the catch can for fuel overflow. But with the new rule, some teams last week used two crewmen to fuel the car at Daytona International Speedway since they had an extra person available and it takes two gas cans of fuel to fill the tank. When one can was emptied, the first fuel man would move away from the car and the second crewman would be standing by with another gas can to finish the fueling. Tweaking the rule this week, NASCAR will allow only one crewman to fuel the car, so teams will have to go back to the original method of the fuel man handing the empty gas can to a crew member across the pit wall and have the second gas can given to him to finish fueling the car. NASCAR announced the rule change during the prerace drivers meeting Saturday morning at Auto Club Speedway in California.(SceneDaily.com)(2-21-2009)

Bodine really surprised me...... he had Gieco on the side of his truck, but never mentioned them, nor did the announcers........ I woulda jumped outta the truck and did a 45 sec spill about them if I was lookin for sponsorship as bad as he needs it. If not to get another one race deal with them, at least prove to those watchin, I will talk you up on TV to make it worth your money.
 
If you guys want to stay awake, do what I did. Watch it from the gym. It makes the bike and treadmill time go by faster.... or it makes you stay on longer since you want to see then end - The sound goes out on your headphones unless you're pedaling. LOL I was surprised at how boring it was for a truck race. I could have saved myself some time on the treadmill to see the end. Coulda gone to pumping iron sooner... hah hah.. :D

My gym is closed by that time so I watched it at home, just was very surprisingly boring, no other way to describe it.
