Wow, everybody (except for Kahne and Kyle) seems to be just wacky loose. Bowyer was so bad he thought he had a flat. Danica is a lap down as I type this...maybe two by the time I hit "submit".

I thought the race wasn't supposed to start until 3.

It still amazes me the speeds these cars go and they are withing a few feet or inches of each other.

they are crazy loose... lol

Las Vegas Motor Speedway is filled to capacity...156,000 - yikes

It must be a nightmare to go home.

alright alright alright


So far so good, glad Edwards got around Jr. Jr makes me nervous lol.

If Johnson wins so help me I'll.......:cuss:

Edwards bro

DW rooting for his crush.

Yes, his car in the pic looks sweet.

That's right

Bob Pockrass ‏@bobpockrass

Possible problem with Kyle Busch .. he said in the center of the corner, it seems motor has a hard time running. #nascar

LMAO

ohforgawdsakes! sumabitch

Fishy FISHAAAYYY

Fish fish mcbites.

These Gen-6 cars are going to significantly increase the amount of naps I take on Sundays

Kobolt tools is going to win cause NASCAR is fixed.

These dumbass announcers are acting like Bristol is the same track is was 10 years ago.

Did anyone not see that move by Kyle coming?

Hell of a move by Kryle

I think it's safe to say Kahne didn't.

Kyle didn't care if he wrecked the entire field. Hopefully they get to him and wreck him for that.

Wild Thing


you make my heart sing

two wide inside...two wide inside...one inside...inside...inside...inside...

what a move...

i'd like to be a spotter for the day

Too bad Kahne lacks the talent. Shit if that had been an actual good driver Kryle would have hit the wall head first like he needed to. But Kahne is too much of a pussy to wreck Kyle like he should have.

You can't send your driver smilies via radio, though...

Hopefully Kasey can get to him and put him in a wall... Kyle deserves it like no other driver.

Rowdy. My dad just cranked up the sound!!

well that one lap of close racing sure was exciting

:D

spotters are so cool ... i love how they give instructions

trouble in front of you...go high, go high, go high. steady...steady...

I tilt my head and refuse to use gyro cam.

kasey has a fast car.

edit: i'm hoping knaus doesn't have something up his sleeve as the laps wind down. we all know he has the strategy down pat.

The 5 car is the class of the field, but he's not as good early in a run, so any late race restarts are gonna doom him.

Kenseth and Brad **** up a restart.....

Another caution.. missed shift because Kenseth is a dipshit.

I really like Denny's paint scheme.

They use a few different paint schemes on the #11 and the Ex in FedEx. Supposedly, one of the paint schemes is on all new Toyota Camry. Could be wrong.

Maybe his red paint scheme? Beautiful car.

Let's go Brad, do work

WTF? Green without getting lined up right?

If Kenseth wants to have a Happy Birthday, he will need someone to take out Kasey - That boy is driving a rocket

pumpkin, it's NASCAR...just nod your head and look away

Those guys didn't realize Hamlin was a lead lap car.

Go Kenseth!

Put him in the wall if you need to.

i wonder if matt can hold off kasey on only two fresh tires - i don't think so...

i think nascar is not paying attention to restarts... :D

DW rooting for Kenseth haha...

dani get out of the way...lol

looks like matt is taking away kasey's line

wow...Matt did it...

Great job - deserves the win.

Congrats!

**** off Matt, you chump. The faster car lost again.

Matt damn near wrecked the field on a restart. Pussy ass Kenseth won a race he had NO business winning.

NASCAR is awesome.

Kahne had the car, just couldn't get out in front.

Congrat's Kenseth

Terrible race for the 5.

Congrats 20. Tough 2nd for the 5....

LOL

**** off Kahne.. you need to be aggressive... you should have wrecked Kenseth when you had the chance. I seriously hate Kahne...

Kenseth is a smart driver...Good job by Kenseth

I don't think he ever got close enough to dump Kenseth.

...If that's what he wanted to do, which is doubtful.

Inmem58 that Dollar General car doesn't look very cool so we might as well keep the 99 car in the thread header till the next race. :)

I think most of us can agree that JJ fading down the stretch made the day better. I was certain he and Kahne were both gonna get Kenseth.

That is a true statement, yes.

Ummmmm, yeah......

Matt put in a great performance in the last 15 or so laps...Smart driver.

Love Carl's paint scheme today...

http://media2.newsobserver.com/smedi....AuSt.156.jpeg

Yup. It was a veteran's performance. I gotta admit, at that point I was rooting for him. He's one of the old guys now.

Nahh Kahne is too much of a pussy to dump him. He would rather race clean than win a race.

the #20 did an awesome job of blocking. Then Kayne just didn't have anything for him at the finish.

ROFL

Oh.My.God ROFL ROFL ROFL

Wow! ...

FAKE as ****. V6 camaro with a V8 sound dubbed in.

And it's a new camaro too. Not an 09.

http://www.mediapost.com/publication...#axzz2NOdCuKMZ Pepsi Max, Jeff Gordon Video Goes Viral

Yes it's staged, but still very funny. They used two different cars in the video, one has a sunroof, and the other car going up the ramp does not.

Great find, Inmem!

I knew it was staged, but at least the salesman had no idea. That's the best part.

Shrub on the pole at Bristol. And it's a new...track...record! 129.535; a 14.813 second lap. They're like those carnival motorcycle guys who go around and around and around in that steel mesh sphere. Anyway:

1) Busch 18*
2) Kahne 5*
3) Hamlin 11*
4) Vickers 55
5) Menard 27

*Broke previous track record.
