Yuck you had to go and spoil my thread.

[WestCoastGal]

PING

[umgud]

I was really happy to see Kenny Wallace race his way in, but I sure wish Boris had also.

[LasVegasMac]

Very cool thread, most awesome!

Man, this needs to be Friday!

[WestCoastGal]

This will be 10th anniversary of Big "E's" win.
Jr. Johnson will drive the pace car - 2008 Z06 Corvette -

[Vigilantcitizen]

Yeah, me too. Good for Kenny.

[WestCoastGal]

Thanks - I’m pooped.

Now I am going to go over and post my pics from today on Jr’s board. :D

Kelley Earnhardt Elledge will be on QVC tonight around midnight ET. Jr will be on tomorrow night for one hour and the Shifting Gears show is also on tomorrow night.

[WestCoastGal]

He raced his heart out today.

[jaz.357]

One word....

SMOKE!

[SouthTexas]

Very good on the thread!

[Peter W. Kessler]

We’ll have a house full of crazy race fans. This is just something to watch ‘til our dirt track (http//www.victoryspeedway.net) thaws out.

I’m rooting for David Reutimann ‘cause his Dad is a LEGEND at our local track.

I’m also rooting for Tony Stewart, Dale Jarrett, Michael Waltrip, Kenny Schrader, Jr., and...

[Peter W. Kessler]

All thumbs tonight. http://www.victoryspeedway.net

I can't believe the Wood Brothers don't have a car in the field.

It's unfortunate that Ford is really letting their program go down the drain. Hell, there are more Toyotas than Fords in the field (although I guess there maybe more Toyotas mde in the US than Fords, so maybe that's somehow ironic), and the Ford teams are having problems qualifying or finding sponsors.

Is Ford dropping out or something?

[SouthTexas]

They could always race F-150s!

[TommyDale]

As a Tony Stewart fan, I was worried when the Gibbs team switched to Toyotas. After this past week however, my worries are no more. They are hot!

20th?
