At what point does Smoke punch Busch?
Georg_Kuyumji
Interesting. Thanks alot OLB
tifosi
Guess he didnt need to haha.

Is Montoya 3rd or 4th???


Oh, I get it, haha
tifosi
And Montoya leads the RACE! whoo-hooo. haha


Now we need a LOT of rain.
Spunout
Ambrose thinks there might be tyre problem.

The pace is ok, though...and he is planning to pit after few more laps.

Thanks Georg_ for the leaderboard link but its all Java and it did not work in my blackberry..

Montoya inherits the lead, he's scheduled to come in in 2 laps. smile.gif

He's stuck behind the lapped car of Robby Gordon.
Spunout
JPM pits. To me it looks like the ones who didn´t pit under yellows got the better end of the deal...
Youichi
Ambrose pitted, but now he's up to 7th ?

Did they gamble on 2 tyres ?

Other than possible rain, I'm not sure what good a stop would do. ALthough it is raining in Jersey evidently.

BMW How about the lap-by-lap page?

Sounds like JPM is in trouble of some kind, has to pit again?

Ambrose must have taken two tires or a splash-n-dash, he's up in the top 10 now.
tifosi
Oops, here we go. Dirt on the track, bring them down. Bummer, this thing was really going good.
Spunout
Dammit...internet coverage died frown.gif

Will they ever get these things to work?
tifosi
What's up with Lil'E, no b***s??? Oh well probably the correct call, still would have been cool to see him go for it.
OfficeLinebacker
I don't know what happened, I heard Tab ordering everyone up to be ready, next thing I know he's running 1 sec faster than the leader.

Sounds like they're asking Juan to conserve fuel; maybe they didn't quite fill it up right? But they are just asking for insurance for a green-white-checkers. Anyway he's good to go now.

Juan ought to get a couple positions on the restart, I expect him to be in 7th within a few laps.

JPm was 5th at some point before the caution.. What happened? Who are the leaders?.... Smoke/Gordon/kyle?

No tyres. They checked them out, as Marcos reported possible tyre problem.

The question is did they get fuel? Hopefully...otherwise he´ll be screwed.

According to FoxTrax Kyle/Smoke/Newman, JPM 8th.

They did fuel - lets hope enough

Can he pull off the 2-fer???

I think he has older tyres than top 4 guys?

I suppose they had to skip tyre change for track position (not much options when you start 43rd on road course), but that might hurt them in the end.
Spunout
JPM 6th and catching Ambrose. He´ll be a player up.gif

Kyle B looks awfully strong, tho...
Georg_Kuyumji
JPM closing in on Ambrose, please dont take each other out guys!!!!

Shrub, T-Stew, Newman, Ambrose, Monty 1-5.

NASCAR in French??? That is just wrong in so many ways.
Spunout
Correction: it was Newman who spun. Mixed up car numbers (12 vs 14).

Ambrose 3rd, Montoya 4th. Please guys...don´t wreck biggrin.gif

Newman deserves a slap for that yellow, he could easily have braked, and not rolled backwards onto the track.

And now he's rolled to a halt in the middle of the track !
OfficeLinebacker
Hey guys, cool bit of insider info:

Ambrose has JPM's transmission from last year.

If you recall, he got dumped on a restart due in part to having a very tall first gear.

Good to keep in mind for this restart!
Gilles4Ever
Ambrose on last restart covered inside line very early and held position - just

What a douche bag. This caution is interminable. Now down to 10 to go. I think JPM will be able to get Marcos and T-Stew. If he gets up to 2nd, the battle w/ Busch should be EPIC.
Gilles4Ever
just ike that biggrin.gif
tifosi
WOAH! Sheet metal all over the place. Down th epits and all over the froint straight.
Spunout
Red flag.
TwoCents
Whoa....!!

Red flag.
Youichi
The 43 (Bobby Labonte ?) looked like his crotch straps were a bit tight.... OUCH !
tifosi
I think Macdowell just saved Newman from douche bag of the race awsard.
OfficeLinebacker
What a huge shunt. Hornish destroyed the water barrels at the end of the pit wall. Red flag.
