| LMAO @ Jeff Gluck on Twitter saying Kyle Busch is doing the fast walk out of the track like he did when he didn't give an interview when he lost races last year. lol | |

| Not saying that it wasn't impressive. Was a nice race besides the whole half the field piling up off turn 2 on the first lap. I don't know where Kyle got his late model, if he built it in his own shop or what so I can't say he dominated that race because of equipment. But Denny Hamlin put himself in position to win through driver skill. (I would hope a 8-9 year veteran of the Sprint Cup Series would have more experience.) Great run by him to get through that field of cars in 75 laps, but he probably wouldn't have been up there if not for that literal out of the ass caution with 10 to go.
I was hoping one of the locals would win. Cup drivers have enough notoriety. Can't say I didn't enjoy that race though.
@ Auz, it doesn't surprise me in the least that Kyle would throw a bitch fit because he lost a charity race. _________________ NR03 Career wins: 15 Career championships: 1 | |

| Missed the race because I went out to dinner for 3 hours lol. And Kyle Busch builds his own LM's that he usual has people run every week on the east coast. Sounds like it was a interesting race though lol _________________ R.I.P.

| Jennifer Jo Cobb will not be racing tonight. Her car failed tech, she couldn't get it through soon enough to make a practice lap. Epic fail...I hope Nascar enjoys their 41 car field tonight. | |

| well i went to both the K&N race and the lm race and it was AWESOME. really cool to see Darrell Wallace win the K&N race and see Hamlin win. but so many people were pissed at the track calling the race fixed and stuff but idk. dont know if you could see it on tv good but those guys were SLIDING chasis type 0 firemans park shit coming out of 4 lol. andrew ranger had the craziest save ever.
....and the locals were doing really good until they all got tore up by Max Greshams arca braking of wallace lol. C.E Falk had made his way up to like 5 when he got caught up in the wreck and Burt Myers was doing really good saying that this was his first time back in a car after his injury i think. ill be posting pics in the thread i made in the general discussion | |

Probably because of the random caution they just decided they were going to throw with 10 to go. I wouldn't call it fixed but they were definitely trying manufacture some type of excitement. _________________ NR03 Career wins: 15 Career championships: 1 | |

Wrong. Hamke builds the cars Kyle runs. KBM just assembles the cars and sets them up. Few if any guys build their own cars. | |

| no the 10 to go was planned. i dont know why they called it a debris caution in the booth but they had said all they there would be two breaks and one of them would be with 10 to go | |

Mike Joy was just joking around when he called it a debris caution. If it was planned the booth didn't know about it until about 10 laps into the second segment. They only advertised two segments with a break at lap 40, which got moved in the middle of the race to 5 laps later. And you'd of thought that a caution with 10 to go as part of a segment would've meant a 10 laps shootout, which it wasn't. The whole thing just seemed gimmicky. _________________ NR03 Career wins: 15 Career championships: 1 | |

| God it sucks so much that Timmy can run top 15 times but because they qualify so far back he gets a lap down before he gets the hang of passing. He's running 23.40's-23.60's to leaders 23.20's but he can't go anywhere. | |

| I thought the actual racing was pretty good and entertaining, but alot of that was because Speed actually shows racing outside of the top 5. Hamlin raping the field sucked ass but the race was pretty entertaining IMO.
How people like Eric McClure and Derrike Cope can pick up sponsors while people like Timmy and Mike Bliss can get no one disgusts me. | |

I agree, I loved every bit of the race. The best part was the lack of cup drivers, and how amazing the regulars were doing. I was so happy to see Kenny Wallace run inside the top 5 all day. If Hamlin/Edwards weren't way ahead of the field, it would have been an amazing race. If 2nd place was the lead, there would have been at least 20 lead changes over like 8 different leaders. Dont know why on a double header weekend there were only 5 or so cup drivers, but Im not complaining, It was great! Also, Speeds Coverage was AMAZING! Does anyone know why they got this one random race? lmfao | |

| Probably because of the NFL Draft and the NBA Playoffs it wasn't on ESPN, hopefully we can get some more races on SPEED, but I doubt it, just a one time thing most likely. | |

| I watched the replay of the race last night before I fell asleep and I loved watching it. lol I haven't really been used to them showing stuff like that in the back of the field in a while. I fucking wish NASCAR didn't sign a damn contract with ESPN till 2014 -_- _________________ R.I.P.
