It's too bad I can't afford to buy a CWT and start and park it, guaranteed a top 30 finish.  Not anymore. A 30th truck has been added to the entry list. James Hylton in the #75 2nd Norm Benning Motorsports entry. You would have to be able to complete 1 lap at half throttle to get a top 30. |

Um...Somethings not gone right here. Apparently a hauler backed into the flagstand. http://lockerz.com/s/126566330 |

Should be fun, but again this year the weather looks a bit iffy. Hoping it stays away from the track, and for Gods sake no fog this time! |

Well, of course. Even to me, a crapton has happened in 15 years. In the grand scheme of things (and maybe approaching 30 has made me say this way too often, but) holy damn, time flies by just a bit too quick. Excellent job they did on the flagstand, btw.

That thing must be old, you can see a bit of the Winston Cup logo in that pic. |

Shame the Winston logo isn't more clearly visible, that photo would be an apt metaphor for what's happened to the sport over the last 10 years. |

Apparently it was the 66 truck team's hauler that knocked it down. |

Widest straightaway on the whole goddamn world and someone still managed to clip the flagstand? Impressive... |

It really is a shame there wasn't a stationary camera set up for that straightaway, since everybody was busy watching Busch spinning. |

^^ There's a slo-mo version of that too which makes it slightly easier to see, although still horrible. |

Apparently the 66 truck blew up big time and actually caught fire in practice. So to recap their hauler demolished the flag stand and now their primary truck went up in flames. Something to be said for doing things big, even if theyre not things they wanted to do |

The "temporary flagstand" is a boom lift.
