NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Well, at least... uh... I'm trying to find something positive about this week.

The last race here was not boring. You all were arguing over Joey Logano dumping Mark Martin last time, so I say that race had some form of excitement to it.

(OOC: Casey, bringing back your old signature, I see? )

Yep.

NNS at Iowa. That could be halfway interesting.

Plus there's always the possibility that the Truck race will be a demolition derby, since I don't believe they have raced on the new surface.

Section NK Row 44 Seats 5 and 6 for sunday, sit anywhere Saturday. Watch the truck race and maybe you guys can see me.

Townley on the track? Better warn the safety crews.

Lol I am not watching any Pocono races. I'd rather not fall asleep during the day.

Where there one of the cautions.

Bodine is a meathead...what a joke.

Raining in Pocono right now.

NASCAR.com says that they've gotten through driver introductions, the invocation and the national anthem, but the command to fire engines is still on hold. To make matters worse, more weather is reportedly on the way.

Pocono sucks.

OH GOD FORBID YOU LIKE JEFF GORDON, IT WAS OBVIOUSLY A CONSPIRACY, JOHNSON WRECKED 5 CARS SO GORDON CAN WIN THEN THEY HELD THE CAUTION FOR 3 LAPS EVEN THOUGH IT TOTALLY WASN'T RAINING OR ANYTHING. IF YOU LIKE JEFF GORDON, YOU ARE A TERRIBLE PERSON AND SHOULD FEEL TERRIBLE.




Only Vinny will get this, don't worry.

I just want to let everyone know that my dad and I are ok. The storm that ended the race was very violent. Currently we are under Flash Flood Warning. Lightning struck 10ft from me, me and my dad felt electricity go threw our bodies. The rain was like needles hitting out skin. We we got in the car, it was raining so hard that water filled the car. Everything was soaked. My iPod was almost dead, same with my phone. Thank god we got in the car when we did. Today sucked. Jeff Gordon's win was fixed, Brian M's dad collapsed from the heat and not a lot of liquids, and we paied 180 dollars forthr best seats at Pocono and only saw 98 of 160 laps. Fuck rain.

Sorry to hear it sucked so much. But I don't think the win was fixed; it started raining pretty freaking hard AFTER he took the lead.

I'm glad that you're okay, Eric. That must really suck. It's a shame how a storm could ruin so many people's days.

According to Jayski's a fan was killed by lightning and another was critically injured.

1 dead nine injured

lolwut?

That was in NO way fixed. There was a bad thunderstom going on, they couldn't have gotten that race re-started even if they tried!

You didn't have a scanner... Johnson could have held his line, Kenseth wasn't gonna get by. I have a ton of shit to tell you guys tomorrow night.
