Join us this weekend for some racing on hallowed ground.

God bless our troops, families and this nation under God.

This thread is dedicated to the men and women in our country's armed forces defending our freedoms.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice.

[Dad yer funny]

so , ... they get back to racing ( and I use the term RACING quite loosly ) , and ESPN goes to a commercial , ... WOW’suh ,.. ya can’t make this sh*t up

[Roccus]

The ONLY reason for programing is to fill in the time between commercials.

[af_vet_rr]

No question. They were being very careful in qualifying and practice as well. Nobody would say a bad word about Goodyear.

Even before the race, NASCAR said, and I quote "The track is very abrasive because we don't run on it very often -- we don't test here. Goodyear's doing the best they can [but] it's a situation we do see probably every time that we come here."

When you have NASCAR saying "Goodyear is doing the best they can" on NASCAR.com, it's pretty clear that NASCAR has made up their minds and the drivers and crews don't know squat.

The OM is up to 13th......:)

[Dad yer funny]

yup , ... there haven’t been any Hard-On Hootnanny Viagra Bonerfest commercials , ... yet

Cartion #9 and I only picked 10 for the pool and it Looks like 4 or 5 more. I think I will go out and watch my First Wife pick raspberries for some excitement...

"The track is very abrasive because we don't run on it very often -- we don't test here. Goodyear's doing the best they can [but] it's a situation we do see probably every time that we come here."

Well...duh. If they know they're going to run into this problem every time they're there, wouldn't it make sense to TEST there???? Maybe...just maybe...they could come up with a better product.

[Roccus]

“...we don’t test here.”

Helton said they tested at Indy in March.

[Dad yer funny]

well , if its any consolation for ya , .. I’ve been ( whats known as ) multitasking , ... this was a “Non-Race”

[Roccus]

This is really a damned shame. Indy should be a premier race, not a joke.

[glock rocks]

The OM is up to 13th.

Which OM??

[Floratina]

I was thinking that Tony might be starting to think like a car owner now. He’ll beat up on them personally in private from now on?

[Purrcival]

Wonder what he’s going to say on his radio show this week? We don’t have Sirius, so I can never listen.

[Floratina]

I don’t have Sirius either...I don’t suppose they have podcasts do they?

"This is really a damned shame. Indy should be a premier race, not a joke."

Good comment. I don't think it ever will be again because of the Car Of Tomorrow. It is just a truck compared to the old cars. It can't handle these turns.

[Dad yer funny]

yup ,... yew bet (( see my post # 364 ))

[Purrcival]

Podcasts? No idea. I’ll check his site and see if I can find out.

[GRRRRR]

I can’t wait to hear the post race interviews...will anyone pop off and blister Goodyear!??!

[Purrcival]

Down to two sets of tars for the last 30 laps...
