I dont know about you guys, but I am having Nascar withdrawal this week. i see
where around 24 teams will be testing at Dega on Tuesday the 16th. I think I will go over and see what goes on during one of their test days. They will be testing with the new restrictor plate and spoiler and a few other things. I imagine with the new setups they may be qualifing at speeds over 200mph.

You turn on the SPEED channel just to engines?

CM,

MADHOUSE gets a replay on Friday night/Saturday morning. I spent the last two weeks trying to find when....

Jack Roush is a short guy.

Thanks...I missed this week. Will have to look for the re-run this weekend!

Jack Roush is short. Actaully a good % of those involved in NASCAR are short (still taller then me, but to a normal person

)

Kokopup...did you go to 'Dega? I was following some of the media there on twitter is it sounds like they were flying!!! I heard speeds >210!

I went to Talledega for the Test this last Tuesday. It looked like business as
usually with a lot of drafting. Denny Hamlin and Dale Jr did a lot
of drafting hooked up the whole track. When those 2 hooked up they ran off and
left every one, even the rest of the Hendricks team drafting.

I was disappointed that the only RPM driver that was there was Paul Menard. I
guess daddy paid for him to go test. It will put the rest of the team at a disadvantage to not have tested there.

One of the complaints of the old wing is that it cut down on visibility. The new
spoiler is so big, from a visibility standpoint, this is a step backwards.

I do think it may have helped some with side drafting, because I say several drivers hanging with the pack even though they were alone with only cars beside them.

Hated what happened to Mark. Other guys finished well.

And...of course I had to smile when Jimmie Johnson won

LOL! I was just glad that Kurt didn't win and Tony finished 2nd! Mark of course...wasn not

Amy, we listened to the race on Sirius on the way home from MI. Did you hear Kurt say "The Busch brothers can't drive, it's all about Steve Addington"? I agree!

Madhouse is ticking me off. I looked high and low to find a replay. The History Channel did show a replay the week before this past weekend? Nothing.

THere is no replay listing on the website either.

Last night's program had me laughing every few minutes. That was fun to watch. THe Keselowski/Edwards feud was O.K. but, THOSE guys take it way too far.

Spoiler?

I loved the post race fight with the fans in the stands. I would love to go one day, sit in the stands and take in the show.

I am still laughing at the whole scene.

Anna, I listened to part of the race on Sirius, but got home in time to see the last 100 laps or so, so I missed Kurt's comment. Love it!! Course it was about the time I finally cracked open a Schlitz that Tony moved from 9 to 2. Might have been Darien's pit stratgey, but I'm just saying....

Richard, I never did find a replay of last week's Madhouse. I did DVR last night's though so reading your comments, I am looking forward to watching it!!

So Happy Justin got his first win in the Nationwide race. How much you think The Captain was in Brad's ear saying you had beeter not dump your teammate?!? As for Happy Harvick....I have to agree with Carl. I don't think he is nice person. Not saying he shouldn't have used the bumper to move Joey at the end for poisition....just saying he could have done it without flat our wrecking him. I really like Joey, but he is going to have to start giving some back, or people are going to keep driving through him. Don't want to turn out like Brad, but there has to be a happy medium between the two!

Thank God both Larry Pearson and the other driver (his name is escaping me at the moment) are both okay after the accident in the legend's race. Fun to watch, up until that point. I have to say though, before the race, when they showed Harry Gant in the car, open face helmet and no gloves I had a bad feeling...if they are going to contuinue witha that race, I think they need to add some of the more modern safety features.
