Juablo and KK trading first?

I'm OK with this.

catastrophe averted: Can they turn down the freakin background music so I can actually understand what the commentators are saying? Jeeeeeeeeeez

They paid good money for that music package, so you're just gonna sit there and enjoy it!

DanZero: radiofreewill: ToyotaCare is complimentary on every new Toyota. You used Toyota drivers can suck it, apparently.

They get Toyota Don't Care

ToyotaCare started two years after my new Toyota.

Warmachine999: One question I have every time I see that Toyota Tundra commercial with the tunnel of fire. Do they back the truck down the spiral? Wouldnt that be an even better commercial showing how good their equipment is?

I'm guessing they use a crane with a sling. Goofy regardless.

I will say one good thing about all the adverts -- at least we haven't seen "Flash Mob" for quite some time.

/Knocks on wood... does Ikea count as wood?

2 sets of green flag pits stops.

I am aghast

Loving Kurt reciting lines from "Talladega Nights" on his radio! However, dunno why Kasey keeps reciting lines from "The Notebook" on his.

Not only is the music too loud for background, it is hideously annoying. Fortunately I have a mute button AND know how to read lips :)

The NACSAR lap by lap page is more precise than anything I've ever seen in NASCAR.

The track details say the length of the track is 2.6600000858306885 Miles

The Bestest		2012-05-06 03:22:27 PM

this race will now come down to the condition of Mikey's feet

Dumb-Ass-Monkey		2012-05-06 03:22:38 PM

I would not want to be a Hendrick motor builder right around now.

It's Swedish, so actually it is trä.

Centerline? Outside ?

Hey! Menard led, maybe hell is freezing over. Let us watch him take out like 6 drivers!

That condition will soon be "walled".

i would be insanely pissed if I paid steakhouse prices and got Walmart steak instead.

I saw that too.

"I sure hope we don't end up on that People of Walmart site!"

"Cinco day may-oh"? Really?

Warmachine999		2012-05-06 03:30:49 PM

Wouldnt it be interesting if the Big One happened during a Crank IT UP?

Shadow Blasko		2012-05-06 03:31:08 PM

265 miles, at 200mph, and no getting out of shape. I am duly impressed drivers.

It used to be measured at fifteen feet from the wall, iirc

Has happened before...

(I figure my last post should trigger a wreck within 5 laps)

Jeff Gordon reports he's flashing red. Sorry dude, but that doesn't earn you any beads. #nascar #talladega

Nearly an official race, there.

Cialis. It's ok doc. I don't take nitrates for chest pain. I take them for recreational use.

If you find yourself thinking "Haven't heard much from [Driver's name] today," that could be a good thing - he may be waiting until lap 186.

What is going on this year, F1 has more competitive teams than ever before and there's passing all over the place, NASCAR manages to two thirds of a race at Talladega without a wreck.

Tsrwedge		2012-05-06 03:41:54 PM

WhyteRaven74: NASCAR manages to two thirds of a race at Talladega without a wreck.

I suspect we're babying the engines until about 10 to go. Bold prediction, way out on a limb, etc.: big mess with less than 10 to go, and at least two GWCs.

DanZero		2012-05-06 03:42:13 PM

Who is Megan Landry and why do I care? I gotta show her my curved lines and tiles?

jht		2012-05-06 03:43:06 PM

Just saying - my kid is just at the age now (10) when all the boner pill ads are starting to get awkward on TV.

Shadow Blasko		2012-05-06 03:43:33 PM

Going out on a limb here.

2 GWC attempts, and a red flag before this is over.

Dumb-Ass-Monkey		2012-05-06 03:43:35 PM

Gotta go get my niece. Should be back in time for the end of the race.

We've replaced the France family with Bernie Ecclestone. Let's see if anyone notices.

Yep, inside of 20 laps to go, and someone is gonna be a brave little idjit, and try a move you would never normally try, and collect half the field in the inevitable Big One.
