Dont guess none of yall watched the race so here is what I think I saw---Jeff fell out and JimmIE broke Chads car.Mark Martin took a hard shot in the side hitting the pit wall--if it had been a couple of feet further to the front on the side where it hit it may of been a totally different outcome. That was a scary hit from the angle I saw it from.

Jr came back from the rear to finish 4th with bad boy Brad second,even Kasey Kane finished third and Tony finished a distant thirty second. Hendricks motors were not in their prime today. Oh yeah Danica didnt run today so I wont get scolded by PKL .

All in all it was a good race with the front changing gueads on a regular basis--- in between commercials at least.

Yeah...I believe my statement was....they are doing some hard racing today! Good day for the fans, could have used a few less commercials, but at least we got a good race. Great recap Johnny!

Was a good race, but, as you say Johnny, seeing 5 minutes of racing then 7 minutes of commercials all afternoon was disgusting. When ESPN promotes their Sports Center and their Fantasy Football League, they are directing those to folks with an IQ of no more than 10. Wish they wouldn't run those commercials during races. I know commercials pay the bills, but please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a change! It's been awhile since I've checked in and I'm quite surprised. It may take me awhile to figure it our but first look it's really great.

A decent race with way to many advertisements but the Mark Marin crash would have been much worse had he hit one foot farther back and ruptured the fuel cell rather than the oil canister. Hopefully his roll cage would have held up had he hit a foot more forward. It was bad enough as it was. I don't remember one wreck like that one maybe they need some boiler plates at the end of the openings of pit road.

Mark, pit crew and pit side observers really escaped tragedy. That could have been so much worse. Everytime we think we have covered all the bases a new deal jumps out and bites us. Thank goodness everyone involved was uninjured.
