Short track = short OP. Brevity.

Feels like ages since I watched a NCWTS race, looking forward to this weekend. Will be cooking short ribs.

Denny Hamlin looks to clock the miles by running double-duty. Kevin Harvick wants a piece too.

Ribs, people.

Loving David Ragan's scheme for this weekend:


JJ on pole for Sunday, Hamlin 5th and Bowyer 8th. Keselowski, meanwhile, could only manage 33rd which means a bad pit stall selection and a high likelihood of going down a lap early on.

[Myrvold]

Waldo is on the hood. That one was easy!

[gm914]

Not looking good for Beavis. In Martinsville's history, only one driver has managed to win starting from 25th or worse.
It happened to be Kurt.

[Dilla]

Plus, simply "staying out when everyone pits to gain track position" is less likely to work this time.

Sounds good, throw a rack on for me. I will bring the beer.

Only spotted this a few minutes ago, but for those of us in the UK, Premier Sports are having a Freeview weekend this weekend (as Sky/ESPN do sometimes), and the NSCS race is live on that channel (Sky 433) at 5.30pm tomorrow.

Hmm looks like PK lost a few spots on the start.

Cale Gale is in the 33, is that the ex-KHI trucks? Carries the same sponsorship and everything.

Did that mis-shift blow the motor?

[PaulC2K]

A little late, but better than never
Cheers for the heads up again GM

Whats happened to Denny, starting 4th and was 19th at the caution just then

Fantastic
I have a SkyHD box with no subscription, just for freeview HD stations, but its working for me, and i can watch the NHL game tonight too.
Can switch the NASCAR to my monitor, stick the racebuddy feed and this forum on the 2nd monitor
Would put it on the tv directly above, but its not a comfortable viewing angle from the computer.

Delana is listed as the owner of the 33, so I'd say yep.
Hamlin had to start from the rear as he missed the drivers meeting.

Bodine not catching breaks as usual.

What a nubbin. Get the stupid stuff out of the way in NNS/NCWTS

So KHI is still operating I guess? Maybe this is their last season? I forget how that all went down.

Take it easy on him. If Jordan Fish was my woman, I'd be lucky to make it to the track!

Meh behind every hot woman there is a man who is sick of her $h1t.

He did put a bun in her oven though so good on him.

Man I love that transition from concrete to ashphalt and back again. That's gotta feel hairy.

Aww yeah Piquet gains two spots.

Hornaday with all the tough breaks.

They just had an article on NASCAR.com about him getting off the schneid at Martinsville

*tries to suppress sniggering*

Townley in the top 10? So caution soon...

Haha.
Everything falling into place for Peters. About time too.

[OfficeLinebacker]

Are there any trucks that will need to pit for tyres or fuel before the end?

Everyone's got what they got from here on out. Drivers getting a little aggressive. I'm thinking G/W/C.

/wizard.

[OfficeLinebacker]

That's some great racing in the top 10.

[OfficeLinebacker]

Wow what an idiotic move by Paludo.

[OfficeLinebacker]

Ha ha Harvick

[gm914]

Ha ha Harvick

Needs to be smacked for that paint scheme.

And somehow Buescher sneaks his way back to great position. How does he do it?

[OfficeLinebacker]

Whoa did they just have to bleep the announcer?

[OfficeLinebacker]

Heh great race! Coulter and Piquet really used each other up.

Whoa lots of hurt feeling after the race! Brian "********" Scott.

[OfficeLinebacker]

Coulter isn't butt hurt though. He knows good hard racing.

[gm914]

Hamlin showing Keselowski last to first at Martinsville not impossible.

Brian Scott GTFO. Piquet drove great, love his short-track dive bombing!

Sweet race huh Paul?

[gm914]

Whoa did they just have to bleep the announcer?

I missed that. Who swore?

[gm914]

Wow Buescher leads the series by 21 pts! Amazing season. Great day for Turner too, Pikette up to 7th.

[Watkins74]

Nice 2nd for Piquet. I don't know what these guys are expecting, it's short track racing. Put your big boy pants on or stay home.

Any race with a DH win is a good one ;)

Yeah, theres certainly plenty of action in them, and they're a nice length too. Got a little fed up of the cautions, seemed like they'd go 8 laps clean, start to spread, and then something would happen.

Piquet looks a little overly aggressive, but to be fair as aggressive as it was i dont think i saw anything where he was out of order for doing it, he drove it hard, didnt hit someone as a consequence like he was going in hot-headed or overly ambitious, although that 3-wide move could have gone quite differently if the other 2 hadnt seen what was happening. Im sure BK did something similar and it took them all out, either this year or another (ive watched a ton of 2010 & 2011 races so they're all mushed in to 1 season to me!) im thinking BK, JJ & Gordon? 2 Hendricks im sure, and i think Hamlin won as a result. Reminded me of that as it was happening.

Great series.

Bumping back to the front page. 30 minutes til race time.

[Andrew Hope]

Reporting in. I've either woken up just in time or 4 hours too early.

[OfficeLinebacker]

I'm a little annoyed that now that the Chase has started, NASCAR isn't waving the green flag at the usual time.

Earlier this season, "1 pm ET" meant the green flag waved around 1:15 or 1:19 or something.

Now it means 1:45.

[Crafty]

reporting in.

I think green flag is meant to be 2:01 local ?

[OfficeLinebacker]

Green flag is at 1:43 p.m. ET.

[Crafty]

oh, okay, I was going by the Jayski page, I guess they got it wrong.

Here we go anyway

[Seth]

Green flag is at 1:43 p.m. ET.

I don't know why they get so precise with the green flag time when they never hit it anyway. "1:43" makes it sound as if it is called to the minute; "1:45" would at least imply an accuracy of within five minutes.

Haven't seen any of the other races this weekend, are we in for some more right front tire disintegration all day?

[OfficeLinebacker]

What a cluster on pit road. Juan was picking them off like crazy, up to 16th from 25th. Came out 19th.
