    Race is underway, and we've already had a multi-car collision, a few passes for the lead, and horrible commentary from DW and Larry Mac, who despite 10+ years on TV still can't speak English :)

    the usual suspects look strong. JPM seems to have found his restrictor plate groove, so I'm cheering for him today!

    The guys are behaving themselves pretty well. Judging by the Bud Shootout and the Twin 125's they could have been beatin' and bangin' right from the get go if they'd wanted to.

    I might not watch them the rest of the year but you gotta watch Nascar in February and Indy cars in May...

    In brief, I'd like to say that the Fox Network should be ashamed of themselves for their obsession with gun violence. The commercials disgust me.

    L-Mac says Hornish didn't get into Joe... I want to see another replay, I'm not so sure...

    I think Nemecheck (sp?) just got loose, I don't think there was any contact.

    Joe seemed to have a different opinion on the radio :)

    What the... now they run tiny ads in the corner of the screen? Geeze... I'd be fine with that if that meant they could go more than 5 green flag laps without a commercial break...

    Allmendinger lookin' good out front.

    agree with the excessive advertising-five minutes of the race, five minutes of ads, then ads during the broadcast? sheesh.

    See, that's what twice we've missed race action because they've been selling us Napa parts and car insurance...

    I don't like NASCAR but I am enjoying this race. There is something to be said for a guy who will trade paint at 200 MPH. These guys are crazy and it sure is fun to watch.

    Gordon to the front...on the outside.

    looks like as track temp increases the lines equal out. should make for a good finish

    yep, bigger restrictor plates and all the fins on the C-post and trunk make for a whole new car.

    from what I understand, they are getting rid of the giant wing and going back to the blade-type rear spoiler? if so, when is that happening?

    same here not a true fan in the sense of the word, but finding the commercials, Digger & his gf, the fact there's passing and it's UNPREDICTABLE.....to be interesting...the cars seem to be quite unstable - the recent commercial was a slap in the face -> "all races same time all season" - as always, nascar has the best pr out there.... not been to any of the races (TMS is not that far up the road) but our daughter is a big fan and has attended many, many races on the east coast....pulling for Martin for a win but doubt that will occur running currently 13th with 79 laps to go.....whooo JPM in 8th
