What was the point of posting that again?

I didnt understand the video the first time but now i understand it after the second time

There's a point now.

It would be insane if Casey Mears could get on the pole for the race. From what I heard, if qualifying rains out, the order is based off of 1st Practice. Mears was fastest, so that would be great. I know what I said about the 60 at Watkins, but it would be cool to see Bayne win with Pat Summitt's charity on the car. Tennessee would go crazy.

YES, CASEY MEARS ON POLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My reaction, too.

Bayne and Mears on the pole. Best qualifying weekend ever.

Can't wait to see how Bayne does. Obviously he's my pick to win tonight.

Trevor Banye for the win (and yes, I mispelled his last name wrong on purpose.)!

Also, take a gander at the car that Brad Keselowski will be driving tomorrow night.



Seem familiar?

This Nationwide race is great.

Also, Mears is going to pull a Dave Blaney that one year when he got the pole at Bristol and drop to 20th on lap 1.

Townley's done.

Pardon le double post, but man, Cole Whitt got SO lucky not to get swept up in that!

Which series are we talking about? Because Blaney only has one career pole and that was at New Hampshire.

...and look at the finish he has to show for it. Why Dillon shouldn't have his career handed to him by granddad. Plus, Logano, Harvick, Kahne and Kyle Busch have rendered the NNS useless fr development. NASCAR needs to make a rule banning drivers competing for Cup points from running any lower-tier events. I saw that he lost the lead to Logano after we got to our seats on Lap 7, so I knew he wasn't gonna win. Bayne could really use the experience in N'Wide for another year before going to Cup full-time, but the drivers in Cup that run Top 10 consistently come down to N'Wide and do this. The series' purpose is nothing as long as the Cup guys are running. I thought this race might have actually been good, but I was proved wrong and just saw typical NASCAR regional racing. All the guys with the sponsors and top tier guys go down and spoil the party for the newer talent.

Bayne and Dillon got into an argument during post-race. Childress stepped in, and then Bayne eventually walked away. ESPN didn't cover it because baseball.

All I can say is wow. Trevor Bayne is the last person I would've expected to get into an argument with somebody.

Can't say I'm surprised. Dillon ruined what would have been a Top 5 for Bayne. Dillon's had everything handed to him so far in NASCAR, Bayne's had to claw his way to where he is right now.

I may sound biased as hell, but I don't care. That shouldn't have happened.

This.

Also, why did you post that picture of Keselowski's car? I don't remember that paint scheme at all.

THIS. Cuppies are ruining NASCAR's development...

Apparently a Food City helicopter has crash in a lake after the race?

Who was in it? Anybody important?

Not sure. Someone said that it was a corporate helicopter. Not a whole lot of details have emerged yet.

Dillon wrecks Trevor Bayne and Justin Allgaier, showing that he needs to go back to driving school. I like Dillon, but really? You drove like a complete tool last night. Anyways, I hope Mears does well tonight, although it was likely a qualifying setup in that car.

And I hope Brad wins just cause dat car.

I'm hoping this race will be better...

Last night's race was great. Bristol did a lot of work to try and bring back the old kind of racing here pre-2007, and in my opinion, it worked. We even saw a few tempers flare tonight, particularly Allgaier and Bayne.

Pardon the double post.

Damn good race today.
