Hey guys, I'm trying to explain to my gf how Connie met Juan. I know she met him when he was an Indy car driver and thought he was cute...but isn't she related by blood to a different famous driver? Is it Fittipaldi or something?

[Ross Stonefeld]

I think you're confusing Max Papis and Tatiana Fittipaldi?

I think they met in F1 and she was like a student at a university in Europe or something? He had a different gf in CART, at least the first year.

Kenseth catching!

[Mr. Salty]

Come on Matt....come on....

[Deluxx]

Yeah I guess you're right.

[Andrew Hope]

Hamlin's going to get him too.

[Deluxx]

I guess Kyle's doublemint is losing its flavor

[Deluxx]

Not a bad finish for Denny first full race back.

[OfficeLinebacker]

I'm telling you guys. Kenseth is the dominant force in NASCAR now that he's in JGR equipment.

[Yhamm]

3h30 of a endless boring race. I'm happy KB didn't win this or it would have been just too much

[Mr. Salty]

Kyle didn't wreck himself, very disappointed about that. On the other hand it was quite fun to watch all of those guys run him down and pass with ease as he struggled to control his suddenly crappy car and hang on for a top ten instead of an easy win. SHOUT OUT TO MY BOY JEFF GORDON for a third place finish, I'm a bad person and I was really hoping Jeff would give Kyle a nudge as he went by.

Kasey Kahne has some heavenly blues.

What?

[Dilla]

Confirmed that Kyle had a flat right rear.

[Dulok]

Turns out Kyle had a cut right rear, I can't believe he made it to the end on it.

[Deluxx]

I'm telling you guys. Kenseth is the dominant force in NASCAR now that he's in JGR equipment.

I believe it. He's Mr Consistent over there banging out amazing laps, there to swoop in at the end. Combine that with his quali performance as of late.. and you have a deadly combo

Confirmed that Kyle had a flat right rear.

In before he blames nascar for not throwing out a yellow for debris or something

[Andrew Hope]

I didn't realize Kenseth was so old.

[V3TT3L]

Kyle Busch wrecked Casey Kahne for the second time in a row.

[gm914]

Busch didn't win!? (I got bored with it and switched off).
Birthday wishes do come true LOL

Matt is looking really strong.

[Deluxx]

Kyle Busch wrecked Casey Kahne for the second time in a row.

He didn't directly touch him, as Kase tried to sidedraft Kyle but got loose

You would've loved it: KyBu was rocketing off into the distance until a slow puncture, and every lap someone caught him and passed him. 15 laps to go it was like "Damn, Kenseth is closing", then Kenseth got past, then 13 laps to go and it was "****, Hamlin might get him too", and he did, and so on. Eventually Harvick got past him and stole 5th and KyBu finished 6th. Didn't know it was a puncture at the time, found out after the race.

[Red17]

Tonight's hex has been called and it's working already.
You will never guess who it was.

For the record, the victim was Brad.

[John B]

Ironic that Kenseth has led so many laps, but two of his wins were grabbed at the end to pit strategy and Kyle's problem last night.

Looks to be a classic duel with Johnson for the title if their form continues. They're showing the same consistency across the board at all kinds of tracks that the #48 team traditionally does in the Chase.

I came in late due to work. Was Marcos just that bad or did he lose a cylinder or something? 9 laps down, damn.

That Ambrose-O-Meter is tilting slowly back toward V8s. . .

Well... that was fun

I have a notepad file with all the race start times, so i had a look about 30min ago and it says 00:00 (UK) so i hadnt missed the start, i checked on Jayski and it says 5h something, so that makes perfect sense.
I check the EPG and they're not showing it, NHL instead. Oh well. So just now i figured i'd pop on here and see what people are saying... and they're telling me the winner of the race i thought wasnt for another 5h Turns out it was 5 days 4hrs till Charlotte.

So i'll be watching the race shortly knowing the result. Hopefully Denny will take part for longer than he did last week, otherwise i'll be skipping chunks of the races again. Its just not the same with Denny being out (ive little interest in anyone else) and the NASCAR site no longer live streaming the NSC race as it was a lot more fun watching from on-board, esp when it was on the #11, but even with someone else.

But it'd just be nice if they didnt keep swapping and changing the day they hold the race!!

[Ross Stonefeld]

Night races are on Saturdays, except for Coke 600 which ends at night(and sometimes the Daytona 500)

[Risil]

The Saturday night races really aren't fair. Think I made it to around lap 200.

[djparky]

all year long JGR has been the strongest team- just hasn't always shown in the results- I cheer on a number of drivers so would have been happy to see one of Gordon, Hamlin, Kahne, Kenseth or Kyle B win yesterday

will agree it wasn't a great race though

[PaulC2K]

Finally got through it, cracking result for Dennys first full race back, happy for him, and after seeing Kenseth lift the trophy perhaps its better he finished infront of Hamlin

That Toyota has looked pretty mighty all season, and a fair number of those have been dominated by a Gibbs car, theres been a few races now where the JGR trio have been at the front with say 50 to go, not to mention the fact that they've won 5 of the 11 races so far, and if Logano wasnt such a little bitch then Hamlin would have won at Cali rather than being stretchered into an ambulance and watching 4 and 3/4 races from the sidelines.

I think Kenseth could do it this season, he's really looked the part, and ive almost (ALMOST) forgiven him for having a Liverpool FC badge on his car midway through last season. If he takes Logano out a couple of times, all will be forgiven ;) But at least the cup rules are fairly forgiving provided Hamlin can get himself into the top 10 or put some wins together, and looking at the car they've got that doesnt seem too unreasonable. Wipe the slate clean with 10 to go and he'd be in with a sniff.

Now did Toymota give him an engine with all the bits the correct weight?
