Thanks, RACECAR, for now officially making me terrified of TM's sausage.

Is Travis trying to earn a nickname?
 
Stenhouse car's looks evil to drive.

And yet he is still so fast with it. To me that says alot about his talent. Its a shame the sponsorship situation is the way it is, otherwise he'd probably be in Cup by now.

Looks like Charlotte might be a bit beyond Travis Pastrana's current capabilities.

Thats what I like about the Nationwide series, you get to see new drivers race and you get to see them go through their growing pains.
 
Hmmm, one does not simply break a driveshaft.
 
Kevin Harvick should have took 2 tires after such a short run and kept good track position. He'll be restarting what, 6th or 7th. Lets see if taking 4 tires was the right call
 
I'm getting the impression that some of the guys here are actually enjoying the race; several battles going on, and hard racing, too.

Strategy is now the name of the game. Even though it's not a game.

Like the crash right now.
 
Danica back in the top ten.

47 to go.

5 to go now and Keselowski out in front. But does he have enough fuel. There are no gas gauges on these cars.

Brad makes it.

Tweet one, Brad! :)

Once Penske switches to Ford next year, Brad will be unstoppable. And once that happens we could be looking at the next Cale Yarborough.
 
Oh my. Everyone (I know this isn't NASCAR related, but there's a track and driver that is), turn to ESPN 2 right now.

Well the Nationwide race was like an old school Cup race. A few blown motors, some spins, some crashes, some hard racing. And Alan Bestwick is extremely underrated as a commentator. He did a good job keeping the audience up to date on what was going on in the race, speeding penalties, everything. The ABC commentary was a welcome surprise compared to the Fox commentary/broadcast which has been awful this year IMO

And the call for 4 tires cost Kevin Harvick the race. He couldn't get past those 4, 5 cars even with fresher tires. Bad move by the crew chief to make the call for 4 tires with so few laps on them.

What happened?
 
Yeah, when I tuned in during qualifying I saw the bikes jump in the background (they were using a long lens and the background jumped right upto the foreground so I saw the bikes clearly) I'm like: Huh?

Earth - you put your finger on it ; it was an old school Cup race.

I thought you were making a super cool post about me for a second.

Reported for false hope.
 
The greatest day of racing in the greatest weekend in racing starts at Indy!

:dunce: Like all of the others said, it began at Monaco.

Let's hope Jeff Gordon's "bad luck saga" can end tonight with a win (at the very least a top 5).

Well it started for me at Indy. He may not have a winning car, but he definitely can get a top ten finish.
