The race was a blast!!! Just got back to Ohio a few hours ago, and I have 100 of 156 pictures uploaded...the rest shoudl finish soon and I'll edit to add a link...

We got Pre-Race Pit passes, and got to see the cars going through inspection and being pushed out on pit road. I was amazed how close you could get to the tools boxes and the tires and everything. There was plenty of security around, but I was still surprised. I bought a few lug nuts from denny's car (they were selling them for $1 to raise money for Charity).

After they kicked us off pit road, I made my way about around the track, over to the Speed Stage to catch the end of Race Day. I got right up next to the stage, and the camera did fly over a few times, so I may have been on TV there. My dad said he thought he saw me, but wasn't sure. I got some good pictures of Jimmy Spencer and John Roberts...unfortuantely, as I was walking to the stage, Kenny Wallace was headed to the driver's meeting on his cart. I was within about 1 ft of him, but didn't have my camera at the ready. Also missed getting ashot of Jeff Green, but managed to catch Mikey (Walktrip), Sterling Marlin and Paul Menard. No Tony

The race was a good one for our group. My uncle is Jeff Gordon fan, and my cousin and her husband, Kevin Harvick fans. Along with Tony and Denny, they all lead laps, and all finsihed in the top 10. Tony may not have been happy, and while I would have him prefferd to finish first, #2 isn't so bad. And Bobby had a Top 10. All in all a good night!

Here are the Pictures!

Amy I've been anxiously awaiting your pictures...they were fantastic! You all really had some good seats.

So, how jealous was Ralph when he found out you had pit passes

Too bad Tony didn't win, would have been awesome to see him win in person.

Gonna have to listen to his show tonight to find out why he missed the mandatory drivers meeting after the race Being a little bit of a baby me thinks

Thanks for sharing your good time with us!

See you soon!

Gonna have to listen to his show tonight to find out why he missed the mandatory drivers meeting after the race Being a little bit of a baby me thinks

I think so too. But he cliams he is fed up with NASCAR and their debris cautions (can't argue with that!). He also says the media thing afterward is requested, but not mandatory. I can understand him not wanting to talk to the media, but I would have felt better if he had congratulated Jeff before he took off (and maybe he did and I couldn't see it)

[anna_66]

Amy we missed the show last night ...did you happen to catch it? What did he have to say?

[Cincy'sMom]

Amy we missed the show last night ...did you happen to catch it? What did he have to say?

I only listened to the first hour, then I had to watch House

basically what I had in my post above. He was frustrated with NASCAR about all the debris cautions and was afraid if he went to the Media Center he would make an "a$$" out of himself and he has learned when he is that hot about something it is better to not say something that willg et him in trouble later. He was also updet about fans disresepcting Jeff and Jr. by throwing trash out on the track during the voctory lap. I didn't see that, but we were down in Turn 4, and that must have been on the front stretch. He said he was happy for Jeff, happy with the way the car ran and thought it was a good come back after the disaster at Texas. His frustration is with the made up cautions for debris the TV camera can't even find.

[Cinder & Smoke]

What did he (Tony) have to say?

Answer: "A little too much!"

Tony, Tony, Tony! ...

You made Uncle Mike UN-happie!

The NASCAR Gods held a Bad-Boy Meetaing - and Tony was the guest of dishonor!

Tony is still lookin for the salt shaker to put on his Crow!

Memo to Tony: THINK first, THEN speak!

[Cincy'sMom]

Okay, Tony may have gone over the top with the comments about racing being fake like wrestling, but his point is still valid, and people on TV and the radio have been talking about the debris cautions all season. Nascar may have reprimanded Tony, but at they same time, I have to think they are listening. If there was no validitity to the claim, and he was just a hothead making excuses, they wouldn't have reacted.

His appraoch may have been wrong, but I don't disagree with the message. I was sitting in the stands in Phoenix and would look at the lap count and think...it has been about 60 laps since the last caution, and green flag stops are going to start happening...sure enough the caution would come out. There was not a full set of green flag stops in the whole race, and only 2 wrecks.....
