Thank you Gabz for the link.

It must have been pretty hot there to buckle the track. I also read this morning they were using sprinklers to cool it off.

Hopefully they can fix it without leaving a problem there for the cars.

Having lived only a few miles from the track for many years, I can attest to how hot and humid it gets there :)

I agree with the track official about the company they hired - Kent Construction is one of (if not the) best in the area. If they say they can fix it without problems for the cars, I'm inclined to believe they are correct.

I'm not abig fan of Nascar, but I know there are many here who are - so when I saw the article this morning, I thought I would pass it along - but I should have known other FReepers would have beaten me to it :)

Just heard on espn radio that a lot of teams are really poed when nascar made this and impound race in a decision during the middle of the week. Teams have long since based their strategy for this race on no impound and that all goes out the window. Now, they say, its back to guessing.

Baseball heads up:

Watch Zack Duke pitching against the Dodgers tonight for the Pirates (yea, Im a loser in all sports). Duke is 4-0 in 40 innings with an era of 0.92 as a rookie.
