I won't even pretend to understand how these races work.

Go here for a full explanation of eligibility, qualifying, and rules.

If you figure it out, I'll be hanging back by the bar drinking a cold one with Eaker
and protecting the pool furniture. Hey, I'm just the bouncer... work with me on this.

This ain’t a points race. Maybe Harvick and Busch will get together and give us a real show.

I was going to ask the same question because when the end draws near I want to have a piece of fresh beef, straight off the BBQ, in my mouth.

It’s on Speed so I won’t get to see it. I can’t understand why NASCAR continues to put their showcase event on a premium cable channel which virtually insures most won’t get to watch it.

No problem. Come on over, set down and have yourself a beer while you watch the race.

Wait, what? I was thinking redhead. Is the world ending? Did I miss something?

Dang, I need a vacation, ya know, before it ends and all. Mesquite is nice this time of year.

Have you heard from Pete this afternoon? Last I heard from him he said he was snow blind and was holed up in a Casino near Sacramento...

Yah, the upper tier is kinda pricey, but it's in my contract with Nork that I have to post the races assigned, so I just post the race and take my place at the front door checking ID's and protecting the beer trailer. It doesn't pay much, but it keeps me out of trouble, for the most part. The beer's cold, and the food's excellent. The folks that show up are good people too.

Welcome. I just finished a couple of rolling 12’s. Six hours sleep since Sunday. I’m gonna grill me and the kids a huge steak and a few taters and hit the sand. Back on at 0’dark thirty. Hope I wake up.

Thanks for the thread. If’n its OK I’ll hang out at the back door too cause I can’t understand the event’s format.
