Leigh Diffey in the commentary box for NASCAR on Speed? I approve of this very much.

I thought they used the same tyres in Truck/NW/Cup?
NWS has rain tyres, so just bolt them on the Cup cars if it saves face.

I think my new least favorite term is "ripple strips"

They used the rain tires/wiper at the Seat Swap...

Jason Leffler, Brian Scott, and Trevor Bayne all just spun within seconds of each other in the opening minutes of practice. They barely got done talking about one before the next one happened. lmao

5 minutes into NW practice and there have been 3 spins (Leffler, Scott & Bayne)

I know this is the nascar section of the board but thought some of you would like to know that usacracing.com will be streaming live sprint cars from dodge city tonight. Should be a good show. The next big thing in racing imo Kyle Larson should be in the Hoffman 69 tonight unless he had to fly back to the west coast. Kid has been on FIRE lately.

"Kid" is the right word -- dude looks like he's 12. But damn, can he wheel a racecar.

I hope they can at least get qualifying in tomorrow, because it's looking like they're going to destroy the track record.

a bit OT but isn't there a gran-am race or something today?

edit: nvm, it's tomorrow.

Reminds me, I still need to go through and upload my pictures from the first Grand-Am race at Watkins Glen this year.

oh yes please, I need some decent reference photo's to work from of the track.

Need anything in particular?

did they have the new grandstands up when you went? no hurry anyway, I won't even be starting work on the track for another month.

Sent you a PM about it.

Holy shit Joey had a massive crash in Rolex qualifying!

Pics/Vid?

Just saw it on Speed Center on SpeedTV. He got loose on turn-in for the Outer Loop, overcorrected a little to send it toward the outside wall, then got it spinning back the other direction again so he hit with the left rear hard and got all four wheels off the ground.

I snapped a picture off the TV with my camera:

Logano managed to destroy that thing!

Nascar has confirmed the Nationwide Series will use rain tires if they need them. If it doesn't rain at least once, I will be mad.
