Was going to go out to the track, but looking at the radar there will definitely be no practice today. |

Move all the fans out of the first deck of seating at Talladega and Daytona, take off the plates... And have at it boys. That was Rusty. |

That was the summer of '04, wasn't it? I'd be a little uncomfortable with seeing cars going that quickly, and I sincerely doubt that a car going 250 is going to stay on the ground if it gets spun backwards. |

Or even at 220 for that matter. |

This might be unpopular, but I really like the 2 car tangos. Its removed the boring periods of single file packs. |

The 11 car got spun off turn 2 after one lap of practice. The 62 and 30 were also involved after looking at the replay. |

Looks like Derrike Cope was slow and in the way. Bowyer had to take evasive action. |

Sadly, I'll have to watch tonights race on tape since we have to go to some damn fireworks show. |

Spin his teammate out and cause a mega big one. |
