'Vegas Baby...........

Nationwide race is scheduled to start here shortly, around 3:15 central...... Figure I'll take a looksy since it's raining out and destroying the snowmobile trails!

Anyone else gonna watch??????

Re: 'Vegas Baby...........

I'm going to watch it. Prerace should be on ESPN in a couple of minutes (if the BB game ends).

Re: 'Vegas Baby...........

Long BB game on ESPN, but it's on ESPNEWS now till the game ends, then it will switch back to the normal channel.

I'm keeping one eye on WI Boys b-ball championship games today......

Re: 'Vegas Baby...........

Shrubby got 2nd..........again.... Hornish was fast. The only chance Shrubby had was during the last couple of restarts.....

We'll see what happens with the Cup boyz tomorrow.....

Re: 'Vegas Baby...........

Missed that race, lost power shortly after the first caution :facepalm: Got it back and things working again to watch the last 8 laps. Hope it was a good race in between. Good for Sam and glad he whooped shrub.

Re: 'Vegas Baby...........

I keep hearing how today's race will be a good test to see what the Gen 6 car can really do. It was supposedly built around the intermediate tracks format. We'll see if it's a pass or fail. Or, a "meh".........

WIMUSKY · Mar 10, 2013

Re: 'Vegas Baby...........

Amazing after only a few laps they're already spread out around the track. 10th place is 12 seconds behind the leader....

Re: 'Vegas Baby...........

Bet it starts closing up a lot after a couple of pit stops. Few were ready for the warmer track and big time loose. Look at the Biff and Boyer.

Re: 'Vegas Baby...........

Watching Boyer made my arms hurt!

WIMUSKY · Mar 10, 2013

Re: 'Vegas Baby...........

Hope you're right. A lot of cars are getting lapped......
Shrubby too fast entering. That's too bad, he had to come back in...

Re: 'Vegas Baby...........

As I said in the other thread. Lucky Dog makes for a secondary race. Thank God I have a reason to watch the #31 :facepalm: Don was almost in the same boat with the #24. I am guessing Gordon's radio is a little painful with a Teammate the class of the field. Doh!

Edit: and of course now I like the wave around . . .

Re: 'Vegas Baby...........

Awesome ending. Husky Tools won the Kobalt 400

:facepalm:

Don S · Mar 10, 2013

Re: 'Vegas Baby...........

I thought it was a good race, not the outcome I wanted, but a good race.

WIMUSKY · Mar 10, 2013

Re: 'Vegas Baby...........

#31 was pretty much stuck in 25th all day.

Glad to see Kenseth hold on......

3 driver interviews after the race. Kahne said he was able to race hard every lap due to the Gen 6 car. Chris Meyers, announcer, when running down the finish of the field said Hamlin is probably happy with his 15th place finish and the car. Yeah, I'm sure he's thrilled about 15th. Both Gen 6 comments seemed to be forced... Anyway, maybe they'll interview more on Victory Lane. Let's hear Hamlin! Or not....

Don S · Mar 10, 2013

Re: 'Vegas Baby...........

Gotta' love John Roberts lead in on Victory Lane. something to the effect that there were no negative comments from the drivers. I mean DUHHHHH, if a driver says anything negative, it's going to cost them 25,000 dollars.

No more truthful comments about the cars from the drivers.

WIMUSKY · Mar 10, 2013

Re: 'Vegas Baby...........

Lol, isn't that the truth.......

Carl "almost" slipped in an interview on Victory Lane. He was about to say you can't pass with these cars. Then he caught himself and said, "I guess Kahne passed me. I better be careful what I say". That was the jist anyway. Most of the others politely said there's more work that needs to be done, in a roundabout way.....

Bristol is next......

Don S · Mar 10, 2013

Re: 'Vegas Baby...........

Bristol is next......

Can't wait for that race. Not a downforce track, not a restrictor plate race.

Lots of horse power, very little room, short tempers, short track, beatin' and bangin' ........... man I luv Bristol

Me too. And how odd, but the single groove makes it better. Weird that the groove is up now, but they got it right again last season.
