Disappointing that he had to swap an engine pre-race the other night and started at the rear of the field...



yeah true, he seemed to get caught up in everyone elses misfortunes during the race and finished 35th i think. Kyle busch the eventuall winner :(

yes am quite aware that it was nationwide, have followed NASCAR for many years. He goes shit on oval courses tho, tends to qualify well but ends up in someone elses mistakes or doesnt do well.
Think the first race i ever watched of NASCAR was when my idol Jeff Gordon won his first race ;)

Must be a bit older, my favourite drivers were Morgan Sheppard and Mark Martin. Little bit later, Rusty Wallace. I don't have a favourite now although Kensith has sparked interest. Marcus has made things a lot more interesting.

yeah was pissed off at Foxtel, only showed 2 hours of bits and pieces of the race, not LIVE like they keep saying. Also my fav track this weekend at Martinsville is the same because of stupid golf on. I love golf but cant sit there and watch it!!

Have they done Delaware yet? Dover Downs? He did so well at Bristol that I reckon the Monster Mile will suit him.
