She starts 29th.  The big question is will she finish in the top 35. :rotflmao:

Son of Pappy, its clear and sunny here on the west coast of FL?  :D

Pokey, I hope to ride over to St Pete and shake your hand tomorrow night if you're going to be around. 

Wed. night is the biggest bike night in the state at QSL.  Dammit I'll be out of town on business, that would be the perfect meet spot over there

You got to be kidding, Nascar drivers? These "Professional Drivers" can't drive in the dry without constantly wrecking. I'd like to see them use the complete road course at Daytona, just like the 24 hour guys, then it would be interesting. Round and round and round and round and round and round, I just can't stay interested in it. I find the best way to watch Nascar is to just watch watch the race recap on the Nascar channel.

Montoya slammed into the jet dryer!

That was one of the weirdest things I have seen in sports. And to top it off they didn't have one good shot of the impact (no the cell phone video doesn't count). Glad that everyone was able to walk [with a limp] away from this possibly catastrophic accident.


Now the drivers are 'tweetin' in their cars.  Kinda reminds me of a stau on the Autobahn where you would see people parked having lunch on the asphalt waiting on the traffic to clear.

Yep, Juan "Wreckum" Pablo livin up to his name ;D  Entertaining, but not for the race itself.  Remove the dryer incident and all ya had was a 1st lap wreck taking out a Hendrick driver :o  Everything else was a repeat, if it was half the race the race the shootout was it would be a good one.  This one was a yawn one ???

Does NASCAR not know about AFFF? What the hell? They didnt put the fire out, it burnt out.  You cannot put out jet fuel with dry chem and water.  All you end up doing is p!ssing off the fire.  I'm willing to bet big changes are coming to NASCAR.  JUST WOW

You must be talking about SPEED. You know. The channel that airs show like Mecum Auto Auction and Wrecked. Now those are some intense, high action shows.Should rename their channel to YAWN.

Juan Taco wrecked due to a mechanical breakdown.
Last I checked you fight the fire at its source, not where the fuel is going-in this case at the apron.
The crash on lap 2 took out TWO Felony Motorsports (Hendrick) cars-Mini-Me (Johnson) and Danican't. Yes, I know she drives for SHR but it is only a Hendrick satellite op. Hendrick cars, engines, engineering, they even swap pit crew members.
