Johnsonn channel is covering the garage. The whole right side and the whole front clip is gone.

Kinda cool to see all the parts out there in the shots of them fixing JJ's car.

BTW it wasn't Hornish's fault, that wreck is on Reutimann. It clearly wasn't intentional so it's just a racing incident.

That said, thank you Rooty. Your reckless ways are paying off in terms of entertainment value.

David Reutimann, your next mission, should you choose to accept it, is to knock Brad Krashalotsky out of the race.

JJ radio: They're gonna "change the whole nose, new decklid, new wing, new rear suspension,"..."no brake fluid change, just check the lines if it's not bent anywhere"...OMG!

Juan: ****. It's just tight and it just sits on the right rear under power, yeah? And then it's just loose.
OfficeLinebacker
Juan: It needs more wedge. It needs to be freer but it needs more wedge for entry and exit.
Brian: 10-4, Trackbar and wedge.
OfficeLinebacker
running 11th, slowest car in the top 13 it seems.

it's REALLY REALLY HARD to drive. Just loose in and out and it won't turn in the center.

Juan: I'm gonna let him go. I'm gonna let him go. --on Hamlin for 11th.

They send that broken car back to track ?

Hopefully we see lots of DNF, especially for the 5, 24 & 42. As much as I like JPM but Jimmie is No1

As for the race, I hope Johnson leads every lap and laps the field.

Doesn't look good now. I hope JPM crashes out next.

I guess if JJ can't win then I hope that MM or JG can pull it out. Maybe a finishing order of 24-5-14-2 is what we want? tongue.gif

Definitely. The most important thing is for JPM to crash, but whether he does it or not, I really hope those four finish 1-2-3-4, after leading the whole race between them and lapping the field.

Depends on whether you have to do short runs or long runs.

It's a trade off. Pitting before you're out of fuel is called "short-pitting" and will result in overall faster pace. The cars with new tyres will kill the cars out on old tyres.

The gamble is that if you stay out longer, if a caution comes out in the small window where the other cars have pitted and you haven't, you can get an advantage and also some cars that just pitted can get trapped a lap down.

In my experience the chances of a caution coming out at just the right time are tiny, and IMO teams would be better served to pit sooner than current common practice.

these tyres are so hard the only reason to pit is for fuel.
If it's green they are probably timing the stops more on who is around them than any other reason.

I strongly disagree. ABC just showed a 1.7 second laptime difference on old tyres vs. new.

Hornish in the wars again.

I'm flicking between channels, I haven' the patience to watch all 334 laps, will tune in at the end.

Is JJ still in the pits?

Hornish finally lost it for real.


Juan: still terrible under power.

Just last year they were blowing tyres all over at this track. GY has been making tyres so hard all these guys do is slide all over the place all year. GY will never make an agressive tyre again for NASCAR.

Yep he's still behind the wall.

Juan wants a tearoff and a drink. He's such a prima donna.

I didn't know that Mark Martin knew such naughty words.

I guess the vibration isn't that bad cos he just passed Gordo for 9th

Didn't look like it to me on RaceView. Looked like Gordon gave more room than Juan did to me.

Note it's just an animation but it's often pretty accurate.
