Picture of the Smith River from a bridge at Fieldale, Henry County, South Virginia from Wiki. Incidentally the same county as Martinsville.

 

Who's ready for some quality Harvick time? What? No one? Ok.

 

Dudes and dudettes, don't get all hazed out with all of the F1, Indycar and MotoGP action going on and don't forget that there's a race at a certain 'Paperclip'.

 

 

Time: two hours before Indycar, one hour before MotoGP. (and if you are a proper weirdo, like yours truly, at the same hour as the NHRA four wide nationals)

 

Track:

 

Nationwide Xfinity / Trucks: yeah, those races happened. I have no idea who won. And I don't even care.

 

Grid:

 

The rest don't matter.

 

Winner: Martin Truex Jr has this in the bag.

 

what does boogity even mean?

Larson will be replaced by Regan Smith: http://www.jayski.co...s.htm#20150328e

Awww Ganassi! Look at your own roster! See, you have a kid without a drive this year. Put Kwasniewski in it!

[jonpollak]

I was gonna say Carman Jorda or Suzie Woof.

He turned out to be a dud last year. Also he's already sharing the #42 Xfinity ride with Larson.

I hate you. When I got to Windows 8 I was certain I'd seen the last of this thing.

Does it still run QDOS ?

22 laps, 2 cautions already. Gotta love Martinsville.

So far, the Hendricks boys ain't setting the world on fire.

 

This morning, I missed a GP start for the first time in over a decade. And, I missed the start of Martinsville too. For St. Petersburg sake, I'm not going to miss three in one day!

[karl100589]

Newmans car has turned to junk immediately.

[jonpollak]

We'll see ya over there in just a bit Mila.

Harvick's not happy...

[jonpollak]

He is now

Often good to give kids more than one year. And no, he is not sharing that ride with Larson. He is completely out of racing.

Pretty chaotic race.

[Red17]

Good evening people, I have finally emerged from a weekend where I had to skip some racing due to a relative needing a truck to move some furniture, and I just happen to be the only person in the family to own one.

 

Furniture has been moved, drove back home just in time for some late day football with some nascar and KarenGillan Indycar. Good to see the forums back online after a Ferrari victory.

 

So here is the big question of the day:

 

 

[OvDrone]

Chase Elliot driving Danica-esque. Harvick, Truex, Hamlin, Keselowski, Logano, Kurt going well. Trouble for Jimmie and Junior. Larson in the hospital, Ragan in his place.

 

Stenhouse being Stenhouse.

 

And I have no bloody clue who will win.

[Lazy Prodigy]

Slowing down on pit road for restart position? Double file restarts don't do much but hurt the best cars especially at tracks like this

[Marc Sproule]

dw said this during one of what will no doubt be a record number of yellows today....

 

"you're just a victim of whether or not you get through or not!!"

 

he should have his lips glued shut. permanently.

Are you sure that's not a merc engine in the #4?

[nosecone]

Harvick looks fast

[automovelbrilhante]

Go Danica! 

 

Edit: Stuck on the outside for this restart...

Gordon doing what he does best.

[Red17]

Yo Brad

[OvDrone]

Loved seeing Hamlin tear up his car celebrating.

[karl100589]

Danica in the top ten?!

[Prost1997T]

Ahead of Harvick too (well, all 3 teammates).

Good race, nice to be into the short track time of the season. Even if it involved a water bottle caution that essentially killed a good Gordon-kenseth-Hamlin showdown for the win. Thought Martinsville was a tough track for Elliott's debut which proved to be the case, though others like Stewart and Jr.figured it out

While I figure DW got that from "The Streak", it's not recognizing where Ray Stevens got it from:

:43 in.

 

And, no, I'm not old enough to remember this. I only heard this song just a few years ago, long after DW started using the b-word.
