Motors TV is so poor that it's just pixellation. And it's jumping all over the place. It's unwatchable.

I have a horrible feeling it's not a problem with the channel, either!

Yay for Johanna's car actually making the distance this week.

Imagine what she'd be capable of in a car as good as the #7...

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.

Money.


My dad was talking with one of the crew guys for this team in Iowa a month ago. They use the start and park money from the other 3 cars to fund the 40 to go all out. At Iowa, those 3 cars brought home $10-15,000 each for starting and parking. That plus whatever the 40 made covers the cost of bringing 4 cars to the track, one set of tires for the other 3 cars and attempting to run competitively in the 40. I believe this is the same tactic the tristar cars use with their start and park teams.

At least there making the effort, even if it means starting and parking 3 cars to run just one.

By the looks of things on twitter there appears to be some drama involving several pit crews that are flying from Charlotte to New Hampshire for the race. Appearently crew members from RCR, Stewart-Hass and BK Motorsports have had to switch planes. They haven't left Charlotte yet. It might be cutting it close for them to make it to the track for the start of the race.

Depends if VIPBLOGSPOT is your definition of good.
(It's a bit TOO good for my laptop, sadly. )

I hate to increase the post count to 7 during this race, but these bullshit debris cautions are getting way out of hand. This race would have been caution free if it wasn't for the 4 "competition" yellows.
