All Star qualifying where they have no no pit road speed limit .... is really something

That's how racing used to be; the cars would come in as hot as they wanted.
It stopped after a few guys on pit row died from getting hit; the last one that died was a member if Bill Elliot's crew in 1990; start of the 1991 was when they implemented pit road speed limit.

yep, a flashback for sure .... I remembered the rule being made because someone was killed but didn't remember the details

heck of a Truck race at Charlotte tonight .... Kasey Kahne in a Dale Jr truck won by .006 of a second

I hate it when something like this happens :

"Kahne's No. 00 Chevrolet, however, failed post-race inspection. NASCAR deemed the front of the truck too low on both sides and too high in the right rear. The sanctioning body will take the truck to its nearby research-and-development center for further evaluation.
If penalties are forthcoming, they will be announced next week."

That was a great finish to that race !
This "failing inspection" is getting out of hand; if a car is .005 of an inch too low or two high they fail it.
I'm so tired of Brian France and his "kiss butt" squad; they have ruined NASCAR by turning it into IROC.

as a group, Chevy didn't do well in qualifying for the 600 .... that said, if he doesn't wreck or have mechanical issues I'm going with 48 ... mile and a half track and Chad is the best I know of at making adjustments to keep up with the track .... also given the same no wreck or mechanical issues, Danica will finish in the top 15 with the top 10 not being out of the question ..

the prerace ceremonies at today's Coke 600 in Charlotte was exceptional .... the singers from the 82nd Airborne nailed the National Anthem as did the bagpipes playing Amazing Grace ..... its going to be a long evening .... Juan Pablo Montoya won at Indy today, must have not been any Jet Dryers on the track

oh well, on lap 91 the 48 just spun out all on his own ..

Yeah, but he saved it, drove through the pits and is still on the lead lap.

NHRA at Topeka at 7:00 PST, top fuel and Funny car both have VERY fast fields.
