Looks like a 3rd place starting spot for my home boy Regan Smith.

Isn't that awesome? 👍

Best average qualifying results so far out of everyone this year too. Their team just released a new hat that looks great, I'm going to pick one up when I get back from Orlando. Anyways, this is really turning out to be a good year for them. (except for the bad luck) I predict a win soon. :dopey:
 
So, do we want to put bets on which Nationwide driver will be the first to win a race this year?

DANICA PATRICK LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL


Err I think the first NW driver to win will be from Braun racing.
 
Kyle Busch must have been watching SPEED Center last week, because when the show asked if Kyle Busch would sweep Bristol, a resounding 80+ said no. Well- Rowdy swept Bristol.

Up next- California. High-speed battle in the Golden State. Time to see who rules in SoCal next weekend.
 
I predict that the Auto Club 400 will be just as boring as the Auto Club 500s have been in that past. With that being said I predict boring old Jimmie Johnson will win.
 
I just read the Menard ran the last 300 laps on 7 cylinders. Most impressive he was able to make his way back up to 5th.

Impressive indeed. No doubt about it best RCR driver at the moment. Other drivers I'm impressed with so far, Martin Truex Jr and Bobby Labonte. Going to be interesting to see if all three can continue there good start to the season.
 
Hopefully Regan can start getting some good runs in races to back up his qualifying results thus far. He has started in the top 5 all but 1 race thus far.
 
👍

Just bought a hat from their online store. I have no doubts that he can get some good finishes and possibly a win or two. Just have to get the bad luck off their shoulders.
 
Good luck to Nationwide and Cup at California (or Auto Club Speedway (or whatever it's called)).
 
Great finish for the '400.. well done to Harvick, I don't like the guy, but that was a great move on Jimmie.

Shame JPM couldn't do more from pole.. P10 it is :(
 
Last few laps were the most exciting part of the whole race. Between Johnson and Busch I would have picked Johnson, but Harvick is a nice surprise. My fantasy picks sucked so going to take a hit there.
 
Matt Kenseth is slowly getting close to that first race win of 2011.
 
Great race yesterday. I was rooting hard for Stewart. Does anyone know what happened to him in the final restart? He faded badly. It was great to see Harvick take Johnson's air and get the win. Probably the best race I've seen at that track since I started watching Nascar in 2000.
 
I hope this isn't an early April Fools' joke! It's a surprising decision and Kimi Raikkonen is one driver I would love to see compete in any of the main three NASCAR tiers.

I'm sure this is real since the first to person to report this was Finnish top F1 journalist Heikki Kulta.
Somehow he always knows things before anyone else here in my country. Original news in English: http://www.ts.fi/moottoriurheilu/muut/208761.html

Räikkönen must love motorsports... just think about it first F1 then WRC and now NASCAR.

Congratulations to Kyle Busch in Nationwide and Kevin Harvick in Cup for winning in California. If you think California is weak, then this one will get you excited because up next...

Martinsville. Action GUARANTEED. We might as well do an Over/Under on nine cautions in each of the races for Trucks, Nationwide, and Cup. You don't race Martinsville- you survive Martinsville. That track is Hell on earth to race to try to survive. Nothing like short track racing, folks!



I guess if you want to get a discussion going, let's do so- who are you impressed and unimpressed with so far this season across the three major NASCAR series?
