Hey Danica actually won something and to celebrate, ESPN plays Glad You Came
 
There's the big one. It was bound to happen soon.
 
Also, ICEYOU is giving Jeff Gordon fans a bad name, what moron calls people by the number of championships they've won, that's why European's think F1 is superior to NASCAR, because in F1 the announcers & general public call the drivers by there actual names, unlike NASCAR with names like Five Time.

Is it wrong that I had bad thoughts when I read that?
 
Wait a fricken minute. Clint Bowyer is in the 20 car?

Nationwide Series deal, they have things like Kyle Busch in the 32 (Last year) and Michael Waltrip in the 99

Just thought that was strange since the 99 (which I was sure was a MWR entry) is in field. Might be running as RAB entry though.
 
I'll be attending the K&N Pro Series East Race next weekend at CNB Raceway Park. It'll be my first asphalt and first oval race.

Have fun and be safe. 👍
 
Well, Stenhouse is not doing himself any favors at this rate. Not a good time to lose friends.

Awesome, hope you have a great time.
 
Now Danica and Earnhardt are out. I wonder what tomorrow has in store for us...

Denny Hamlin was advised not to do the race because his back is messed up.

AH, ok. I'm guessing he hurt it in a off-track incident or something?
 
Holy crap, what was a finish! Just wow.

That win was nothing but redemption!

It's proof that when Kurt Busch doesn't have his head jammed up his ass, he can win even in underfunded equipment. 👍 I'm also fairly sure Daytona is not high on Danica Patrick's favorite tracks list....

He will be a threat to win tomorrow.

Personally, I hope that after the CWTS race this year, they gradually reintroduce 'The Rock' into all the national NASCAR series.

I'm not sure it would be possible with how the track is currently in Middle of Nowhere, North Carolina. I think everyone would welcome it, but there's a lack of hotels and other needed businesses in the area of the track. Pretty sure NASCAR would want the track built up a bit more in terms of spectator seating and such.

Yeah, that's the kind of thing that's killed other speedways before.

If they gradually build the schedule up; say run the trucks there for a few years, then slowly introduce Nationwide, within 5-10 years there could be Cup racing back at Rockingham. Wishful thinking but I do hope it manages to make a comeback.

I agree. With it being a unique track, it would be nice to have it on the schedule again.

North Wilkesboro Speedway would be nice to have back, but after seeing it on Top Gear, it would need a ton of modernization to bring back to good condition. Actually, there's a picture of it on the wikipedia page from 2011 and it looks like it's been improved a bit, at least the track surface. They should consider running the CWTS there.

Edit: Upon reading that page, it appears that the track has been closed yet again.

I was going to mention North Wilkesboro in my previous post but I wasn't even sure if it was still operational considering the turbulent recent history of the track. It's been on and off for the past few years it seems.

Rockingham really had very little to do to update them to current standards, N. Wilkesboro has to basically rebuild the whole place if you ask me. It is owned by the city, and just really too far from anything worthy to bring anything back than local short track racing.

I doubt we ever see Cup back at Rockingham too, as someone said it lacks most stuff needed for fans (granted Darlington is pretty much the same if you didn't have Florance/I95 close by for that).

If these things were true then Bristol should go ahead and lock the gates now because the only thing Bristol has is a track in the middle of nothing. I know as I live here and both Bristol Va/Tn has ran almost every bit of work out of town all they want is Wal-Marts and low paying food places to collect taxes from. If you watch the next race and look close you will see all the seats that are unsold,Bruton used to sell these to companies but with companies being watched for wasting money they don't buy them anymore. Bruton's too stupid to lower the ticket prices so people can afford to go all he wants is money,money and more money. I think Bristol has the highest ticket prices anywhere in NASCAR.

He is a madman behind the wheel, and I hope to see more of him like this.

Danica seems to actually do good there, but have some crappy luck. She was one of top 5 cars I thought all night.

Unlike Rockingham and North Wilkesboro, Bristol has well over 100,000 seating capacity so selling out isn't a requirement to make a profit from a race weekend.
