Lovebirds in the Grandstand (Eat your heart out, Gilder)

If you watched Friday night's Nationwide race from Richmond, you saw a great, competitive race featuring side-by-side and nose to tail competition and a terrific close.

If you watched the finish you saw an on track incident between Nelson Piquet, Jr. and Brian Scott that carried over outside the cars resulting in Nelson delivering a low kick to Scott's groin. Later in the evening, two RCR crewmen were arrested and taken to Henrico County, Va. jail following another altercation.

Johanna Long posted a top-15 finish, as well.

But the highlight of the televised show may have been the shot of the lovebirds high above the closed (except to them) backstretch grandstands. Very sweet. Eat your heart out, Jeff. It was date night!

why the name tags???? lol. IF they were the only ones allowed in there poor Jeff would have sat in the bleachers and consoled himself with a case from Chase.....

Funny. Somehow I'd reminded of this great quip from Grouch Marx (edited by me):

"Just give me a comfortable [grandstand], a dog, a good book, and a woman. Then if you can get the dog to go somewhere and read the book, I might have a little fun!"

Reckon Danica or Ricky ever heard of Desoto or Plymouth?

I wouldn't be surprised if "The Legend" didn't have a "Groucho Special!"

Ok, Dave!!! You said the SECRET WORD. The little ducky is coming down to give you a prize.

That was cute watching them last night. Sort of like a scene from "Love Story". Wonder if never "having to say you're sorry" applies to putting your lover into the wall. As for Plymouth and Desoto, neither of them probably has ever heard of them, but that's ok. I have heard of them. Those cars are a part of my wonderful memories that have helped make me who I am.
