Kansas Speedway boasts great views from every seat and easy access in and out of the 1 1/2-mile, state-of-the-art facility, a response to growing interest for motorsports entertainment in the Midwest. Though the tri-oval track design is not unique to Kansas Speedway, a slight difference in the banking makes this track unique.
This thread is dedicated to our Armed Forces personnel and their families worldwide.

To: glock rocks
Saturday morning 9 AM PST, if you get Speed Channel Happy Hour is on.
That always gives some clues as to who will do well in the race, more so, I think, than qualifying.
Jr, looked good in qualifying as did a lot of guys who all broke the track record.
To: WestCoastGal; Pete-R-Bilt
thank you! I'd have missed it.
To: glock rocks
Are you having trouble with the satellite reception on Speed??
To: WestCoastGal
no, it's really good. (dish network)
To: NormsRevenge
I hope Jeff Gordon win!!!! Its his turn ya know. LOL!
To: glock rocks
It's Time Warner cable.....I just called them. They had no idea this channel wasn't working. Duh, I guess they're not Nascar fans, but the guy on the phone said "oh that looks cool" So, maybe Nascar has a new fan.
To: All
Busch race is on, Harvick, Waltrip, Mears, McMurray, Biffle all racing. Wally is racing also with Larry Mac spotting for him!!

***Interesting Busch race today, Michael wrecks with 5 laps to go and Biffle strikes again according to Hamilton Jr.*** See you tomorrow, thanks for running the thread every week!!
KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Michael Waltrip was on cruise control, holding an easy lead on Bobby Hamilton Jr. as the Mr. Goodcents 300 wound down.
But a not so funny thing happened as Waltrip was en route to his second Busch Series victory in three races. A right-front tire went down on Waltrip's No. 99 Chevrolet, and he bounced off the wall along the frontstretch.
The damage wasn't that bad, but Waltrip's day was done five laps short. With all the attrition Saturday, Waltrip ended up 24th. But that was hardly what he deserved.
Waltrip easily had the best car, passing at will and getting back to the lead any time he found himself in the pack. Driving his own car, Waltrip led six times for 140 of the race's 200 laps.
Hamilton Jr. drops from first to 19th
With Waltrip sidelined, the lead fell to Bobby Hamilton Jr. NASCAR hurriedly got Waltrip's car off the track to set up a one-lap dash to the checkered flag.
Hamilton Jr. didn't make it out of Turn 1.
His engine sputtered on the restart, and David Green dove inside. Greg Biffle tried to do the same, but he and Hamilton Jr. made contact, with Hamilton Jr. spinning into the outside wall.
"I was running high when they all went on the inside of me, and Biffle just run plum over me," Hamilton Jr. said. "But what do you expect? That's who you've got behind you."
Biffle had a different version
"Going down into Turn 1, I got a good run on the 37, but I was trying to pass him on the bottom, and he kept moving down, and I wasn't sure what he was doing," Biffle said. "Then I thought I would go around him on the top side. I jumped up top, and the 25 was there, and I didn't see him."
Biffle finished third, with Hamilton dropping to 19th, the first car one lap down. Hamilton Jr. was upset at Biffle, but he was also mad at NASCAR for restarting the race.
"It shouldn't have been a shootout," Hamilton Jr. said. "They had caution after caution. There were little balls of tape on the back straightaway.
"Michael Waltrip blows a tire, and there's rubber everywhere. They make the pace car run 25 mph. That's what they were hoping for, something to happen, I guess."
To: WestCoastGal
I caught the very last lap as they restarted the race, what a mess. Bobby Jr. sputtered and spun and hit the wall. Too bad. He may have a point about the condition of the track re: debris and the slow restart. Oh, well..

Damn, that's a lot of bacon. Thanks for hauling all the pork, Dude! Hickory smoked ain't too bad either.

This may be another #12 car day. Junior needs a win here too, both looked good during what I could see of Happy Hour yesterday.
Harvick probably learned a lot about the track conditions during the Busch race as well.
