The COT is back, and JPM has been upsetting everyone. How will it all play out? I don't know, but I do know I need to finish a paper and get some beer to drink while I find out.

24 is a rocket tonight. 11 is fast too but isn't happy with his car.

Better than most. They certainly got a handle on the COT.

I think it's cute how NAPA keeps buying commercial time that portrays Waltrip as a NASCAR driver.

I've brought it up before, but this pit road speeding thing just amazes me. The teams or NASCAR need to do something different so the guys know how fast they are going.

They should get one of those roadside things that tell you how fast you are going when to get close to town and speed zone changes. We have them all over the place here in Nebraska.

everytime I drive through Nebraska on the way back home (South Dakota), I see those things - love em.

But with guys bumper to bumper going into the pits, it will be difficult to be able to tell who is going what speed.

I can't help but to pull for Tony Stewart.

As long as the first guy gets down, they should be fine. I just think it would be funny to see one of those set up at the end of pit row. You know somebody would tag it right away too.

Big wreck takes out the 22, 1 and somebody whilst screwing all the teams pitting under green.

yeah - the timing of that wreck really changed this race.

This will be a good finish.

Stewart, Kenseth, JJ, Hamlin all up front - good stuff.

Lets all watch this puss wave his limp wrist. 3 fans puking everywhere. It was a clean move but that pit call was bull****.

**** Hendrick Motorsports.

I'm just ****ed Tony lost. Hard not to respect what Gordon has accomplished.

Blue

2 weeks in a row, tony is being a bitch. Get it together buddy. Hamlin is definitely a 2nd one to root for now.

Given how strong they've run all year, it was just a matter of time before the 24 ended up in the winner's circle.

Domination. It's frustrating for us non-Hendrick fans if you can imagine...:D

Hey, Joe Gibbs has a strong operation as well.

Tony's run strong throughout the season. He knows his way to Victory Lane and I suspect he might even find his way there next Sunday at Dega.

BTW, there's only a handful of drivers that would have been able to pull off that three wide pass without wrecking anybody. Don't know that Gordon was too pleased with the move, though. ;)

That move was sick. And yes, Gordon quickly remedied it. I don't think I'm gonna make it over to Dega this weekend, but I'll be watching. the way this year is going, it'll be the usual suspects sprinkled w/ the Yates boys.
