Well looks like they are going to attempt the 2 truck draft in the latter parts of the truck race tomorrow, hoping all goes well, but I don't foresee it working well with everyone trying it.

Food for thought. NASCAR has allowed teams to change up their bodies a bit. Not many ran the "new" style at Daytona, alot more are now.

Old:



New:

You know, for a sanctioning body that seems to be trying to break up the two car tandems, they don't really seem to have a problem making it easier for everybody to do it. They banned greasing the bumpers but they aren't saying anything about this "slick tape" that we keep hearing about.

One of the media people brought that up, and also said "if they want to get rid of it, it likely won't happen until Daytona" which I agreed with.

I don't think NASCAR wants to abolish it all together, but more get back to how it was in 2009-2010 with cars pulling a little ways away but then falling back into a pack.

Todd Bodine is gonna cause a big wreck if he keeps pinching the entire low line down like that every time he is on the outside.

fuuuu two truck tango

Well that sucked ass. Shouldn't be surprised though.

How does Neuenberger manage this shit. He is usually about 15 seconds off the pack, lol. That sucks, I thought RWR had a decent chance of earning some pennies today.

Lap 169 in the South Boston 300.


Austin Self has been wrecked..5 times. His wrecked car has been called "slower than anything that should be on the race track. The last two times or 3 have simply been people running him over.

Probably doesn't help his hood was gone. Really hoping some of these other guys can figure out the two truck tango to at least challenge KHI...I know Todd and PK kinda have, but they are just about wrecking everytime they do it.

And he lost a RF.

I'm praying for Jason White to push Johanna Long for the win. Just saying.

Or as Ian said on RuRa, a Johanna Long-Chris Fontaine pairing would be epic.

I'm not looking forward to whats going to happen at the end of this race.

I'm so sick of tangos. Sooooo sick of them. They were cute for a minute but now they can tango in the truck series? Fuck that. Track is to smooth and the bumpers line up to good. LAME. Least they can't tango at Martinsville.

Two car tangos are awful, I'm glad NASCAR is trying to change it. I haven't tuned into the race but for 2 minutes before I changed it back to college football. I'll tune in with 10-15 to go, but it's boring as fuck.

Phillip Morris and Lee Pulliam wrecked hard head on after the end of the South Boson 300. Morris won.

Glad Mike Wallace won it but what a lame ass finish & race.

there was no excitement in that race at all. glad to see Mike win but holy shit that was a snooze fest

Jason White, Y U no win!? D: Another lap and he would have had it, I'm sure of it.

Well KHI seems like they had this planned from the shop, played the game and dominated it. Really don't like these two car/truck tangos, but I guess NASCAR can't do shit about them atm, way it goes, happy Mike finally got a win doing this tango stuff though, and i'm really glad that the V8 race will be on tonight, gonna be some fun shit to watch close beating and banging racing.

Not sure about that, but he would've got there anyway.

Glad Mike won the race, and Enfinger got a top 15. Otherwise, fuck this race.

nice to see mike win. but aside from that that was an awful race

and what the hell was that clusterfuck after the debris caution, that should have been a quickie yellow but they were still running 3 wide, 2 laps into the caution

By the sounds of it, I made the better choice in being with my lady. lol

Glad for Mike Wallace though!

I was sitting on the front row at start/finish and Nascar screwed up a race that would of been fun to watch. Oh and I thought that Nascar wanted pack racing back but they'll let the series that has the best pack racing change the back bumper so the they can have two truck tangos. Fail Nascar just fail!!!!!!
