Is that going to be raced, or is it for show?

Jayski has the #77 as having been taken off the entry list.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

I think the 77 was only going to be run at Martinsville next week... could be wrong, though.

Also, that looks an awful lot like a Truck?

EDIT

Nah, it's a TRG Cup car, I guess. *shrugs*

According to Jayski, Mike Helton said there will be some sort of pre race tribute to Dan on Sunday.

I'm impressed. Didn't think NASCAR would do such a thing.

I tip my hat to you NASCAR. One thing you've done right as of late.

Anyone know if there's someplace we can buy that as a decal? Perhaps the proceeds could go to Dan's families trust fund. I don't have a facebook so I can't post, but Graham Rahal's page has all sorts of info on it about the charity auction, etc. Perhaps someone can take that image (assuming NASCAR allows it) and send it to Graham so they can get decals made up? Proceeds go to the family sort of thing.

I'm not surprised NASCAR did something. Good on 'em!

I think they knew people would be miffed if there was nothing done to honor the guy.

That's really neat. Hoped they'd do the silent 77th lap too.

If anyone is Interested, the last plate race before the 2-car drafts began taking over is on SPEED right now; Last year's Amp Energy 500.

I was also hoping that, but I guess it's a bit less meaningful than the silent 3rd lap for Dale given Dan only ran the #77 once. His number for the Indy500 was 98.

NASCAR are doing a minutes silence, and the cars will be running Lionheart stickers.

Apparently the new pop-off valve that was supposed to change the 2-car drafts didn't work; Paul Menard and Kevin Harvick ran nose to tail for 12 laps before pulling back in during today's EFI test, and Harvick said he saw no sign of overheating.

:wave:
