    Looking forward to it! I like watching races there.

    I've been a waste today. Baseball in the afternoon, NASCAR at night.

    Is Harvick driving for Stewart-Hass? He was strong as shit and it has to be hard losing twice this year to a car with a Hendrick engine.

    That was a damn good race tonight. NASCAR has done a good job bringing racing back to racing.

    Excellent race. I remember being at the Darlington track every year as a little kid. My favorite thing after the race was to walk around the pits and look at all the "Darlington Stripes". It was considered a "Badge of Honor" back in the day. If you didn't have a stripe ... you weren't racin'!

    So........do they turn on their headlights for those night time races???
    Or do they just use the grand stand lighting?

    Those headlights aint real Niner. They're just stickers.

    What makes racing in the dark even MORE fun .... they don't have tail or brake lights. They just turn on their dome lights so others can see where they are!

    Well got tired of waiting so I looked it up meself.

    Anyway, that's three wins for Stewart-Hass already this year. Smoke has built himself a nice little company. I say little, hell I think he has four cars going now in Sprint Cup doesn't he? Wonder if they're making any money?

    He could probably make a profit just on the sponsorship that Danica brings in. Which is good, since she isn't going to bring them any prize money for race wins.

    Danica's shine has worn off IMHO ... when are you gonna take her back Deppity?

    P-hole, Tony would prolly ENJOY operating at a loss ... he could use the tax write-off.

    We don't want her back. Now you know what I meant when she went to NASCAR. She gets way more coverage than she deserves based on her results.

    Maybe Haas will make her the driver for his new F1 team.

    She ain't hurtin' nobody. I'd rather watch her race than either of those damned Busch boys any day.
