Back to the racing...

Testing starts tomorrow (I got excited when I read above that it started today), and I'm quite looking forward to it. There's something awesome about Speedweeks testing paint schemes that I've always loved - back in the early days, anyway. I haven't really kept up on testing news over the last few years, but seeing those plain black or grey cars zip around the track meant that racing was imminent, and got me all excited.

The cars looked bitchin', too.

aww yea

I could say that it was already Wednesday where I was when I posted and that I was therefore correct in order to save face, but I will be honest and say that it said Wednesday on the Autosport article talking about the test. :p


Looks like a legit excuse to me. I didn't even think of the time difference! heh S'all good.

I know they're advertising Fanfest for Thursday and Friday, but do you have any idea if they'll have the Oldfield Grandstands open on Saturday too?

192mph qualifying run right off the bat, could mean an exciting pole day come February! Here's to wondering how fast they will be next month, remember how much they picked up between last year's test and the Shootout. :thumbsup:


Also, a link to the live stream was posted on the previous page.

Rick Allen messing around with Jeff Hammond. They actually have him standing on a soda crate so he looks taller on camera. :lol:

The Wood Brothers had some fun at Trevor Bayne's expense. Bayne posted this picture on Twitter.

I dont know if non-twitter users can see this, but Greg Biffle tweeted a video from his phone he took while going 195+ down the backstretch. :8:

Wonder how NASCAR feels about that, that's awesome.

Speed's TV coverage just started

That biffle video is awesome.

You guys think they will draft at all today?

I guess its official that they have banned all radio communications with other drivers. I missed that announcement over the off season.

I would be surprised if we saw much drafting at all today, maybe a couple tandems will go out but it seems like they are focussed on shaking down the cars at the moment. I know Joey said he was going to go out and draft after a few more single car runs (via twitter).

And as I say that, AJ and Brad are out drafting.
