I spent 5 years at LVMS as a construction Project Manager. I know every nook and cranny including the construction of the new media center and neon garage. I have no desire to ever go back.

The glass on the front stretch of the media center came from great Brittan and was floated on tin to make it the flattest glass to provide a mirror finish as cars go by. Musco did a great job with the lighting.

I dialed in the Sunoco signs to align them with the flag stand. I also snaked drains in dress pants and a dress jacket in the infield snack bars during the race after the new construction. Met the friendly Mr. Bruton Smith for a mock up of the Neon Garage.

I'm happy watching this on TV.

Less than 20 laps in and Harvick already is lapping back markers.

Halfway lap 40 of Heat #1. Harvick has led 36 laps before pitting. All of 17 cars on the lead lap. As Musky said - Typical 1.5 mile track racing.

Harvick will lap Joey before the end of Heat #2 unless a yellow waves. LOL

Heck, he may lap himself! :eek:

Nascar better do something about the pit guns they issue before the races. This is the third race and we've only had three, with problems in the Nascar issued guns. Today Suarez had trouble and the race is barely at halfway.

And Heat #2 is over with Harvick in the catbird seat. 2 out of 2 so far. 13 cars still on the lead lap and no cautions except heat enders.

Oh, Oh - Joey only took 2 tires. Might not be a good move.

One more time - A restart wreck. Busch41 and Elliott. #41 slides up into Elliott and crunches the #9 into the wall. Looks like both are done for the day.

Elliott was my garage guy, but Busch41 was still live for me. :doh:

Harvick beats The Twerp! Harvick won the heats and the race by leading 209 of the 297 laps. Domination and his 2nd win this year.

In iFL - RFG Racing 1 is the clubhouse leader. Final standings on Tuesday.
