This was an excellent race. They were just throwing those beastly cars all over the track all race. Michigan sucks. Worst track there is

I made it to lap 56. Now I have a headache, oof / Steve Wallace



Patrick Carpentier, who announced he would retire after the NAPA Auto Parts 200, saw his 27-year racing career come to a bitter ending after contact with Steve Wallace on lap 56 in one of the hairpins.

“I guess Steve Wallace hasn’t learned how to brake, so he spun me at the hairpin,” Carpentier said. “After that, I just lost it, ran people over and they ran me over back. It’s one on those deals.”

After the race, Carpentier’s crew chief, Jerry Baxter, took out his frustration with Wallace by reaching into Wallace’s car on pit road and pulling his hair.
“We had a couple of challenging moments where me and Carpentier were racing really hard,” Wallace said. “I got underneath him, I tried to outbrake him. He crowded me. I got loose, and I spun him out.

“Obviously Baxter was upset. I’d be upset, too … [but] only girls pull hair.”

He pulled his hair? Geez, even Kyle Busch laughed at that.

Dude reached into the car and took hold of a fistful of hair, like he was dealing with a snot-nosed kid. Well, he was. I just hope Stevie Wallace knows that his father is spending his inheritance to enable him to wreck race cars.

Michigan International Speedway!

How you doing today Dylan

GO http://www.mtrmedia.com/.a/6a00e5513...0096970b-350wi

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HE'S RUNNING JIMIJO DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Cue in the haters... 10... 9... 8...

LMAO

Looks like a 2 car race

ah thanks, I'm doing good! And you?

Kyle's gonna leave 'em in the dust!

Keep your eye on my boy!

OK. Getting hot here again in Misseri

and KYLE for the LEAD!!

Caution will tighten it up again

LMAO it's hot here too... i hate it!

CAUTION!

Freakin' Kurt can't keep his car off the wall!

Kyle didn't need a caution!

I guess they needed that caution for a good finish.

Green, White, Checkered Finish!

woooooooooooooooo kyle beats jimijo on the restart

Kyle is pulling away!!!!

Wooooooooooooooooooooo!

Kyle Wins!!!

Ding, ding ding. We have a WINNA

Well at least we won't have to watch Kryle whine and cry about everything for the entire week. Johnson should have put him in the wall.

WTF would 88 pit there? Fricking tards.

I will say it is cool to see that old Interstate batteries paint scheme.

Did you know Jimmie Johnson takes the checkered by racing clean? :D

Finally... Kyle's a lot more mature than he used to be -- He is becoming a real pleasure for all race fans to watch!

Love him or hate him, the guy can get it done

Point is Letarte made "big adjustments'' to the car on the last stop ...

Aug. 26th. Friday night's Food City 250 at Bristol Motor Speedway

Sprint Cup | NEXT RACE: Bristol - 7:30 p.m. ET Saturday - http://i2.cdn.turner.com/nascar/.ele...adcast_abc.png

I will pick you up around 8 & we will go PINGING

Ahh...I remember the good ol' days when Bristol was my favorite track.

This is my favorite race, short track at night!

This definitely would be my favorite track. The Wold's Fastest Half Mile. Been there twice. What a blast.

Bring a boat... we might need to get around... :D

It used to be my favorite as well until they ruined it.

Shouldn't you be heading for the hills?

The kids singing the Anthem is a cool tradition.

I LOVE Bristol...

Remember when Goodyear sent in the same tires as they used the year before, when the rubber on the tire was shredding and coming off?

Goodyear had to swap all the tires for Nationwide & Cup races at the last minute. I think, NASCAR had to limit the tires each team recieved because Goodyear came up.

What a mess... I think it was this year... lol

bugeater, did the COT ruin it or was it the resurface that ruined it? I can't remember.

did they mess with with the width of the track or banking...

The resurface that added another groove, but the CoT sucks too.

Did the race start?

The local channels cut to a critical issue due to Hurricane Irene. I think they said, we might loose a high-rise in the Atlantic -- 30 foot waves are crashing on to land...

Now, we have a tornado watch warning -- ... the city is flooded...

http://www.myfoxny.com/

Yeah it started. Kyle Busch went over the fence on lap 3, rolled it 12x and was thrown from the vehicle. Thankfully, he landed on his head and was uninjured

No? I'm in the the middle of Hurricane Ireneageddon...

Let me live stream the game.

They're not showing the race -- they're going to torture us news of horrible destruction -- live photos of pounding rain, high winds, and the Atlantic Ocean sweeping through Manhattan

On lap 71. Kenseth in the lead. Kyle is 12th

Live Streaming: http://www.soccertvlive.net/watch/80...ight-race.html

LMAO Amen


I can't believe they're live streaming my favorite race in Spanish --

wait I've found the race in on ESPN..

Your not going out storm chasing?

I should have taken Irene seriously. The south have a lot more experience with hurricanes.
I didn't think I would be in the projected path of a direct hit. I've never experienced a hurricane of this scale.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-0...stal-path.html

Tidal surge?

Seriously, unless I'm hanging horizontally from the balcony, I'm gonna be very disappointed in this thing.

lol...Stremme punts Reutimann into the wall. Reutimann returns the favor...

Shame: Collects Hamlin & Menard in their mess

I guess we'll see you in three weeks then.

:eek: i didn't plan for that...



I'm waiting for NASCAR to throw a caution for debris so all hell will break loose..

I found out why we'll have to wait until the last 20 laps for some excitement...

Bristol changed the banking configuration and turned it into a snooze fest.

Yeah, they did that a couple years ago...where the hell have you been?

I missed who hit Martin from the rear -- so did the announcers... lol

why, I was busy looking for Qaddafi :D

Did you find him?

This race will never go green until the end. These announcers are ridiculous

I'm sure Kryle will blame Truex and Labonte.

Brad knew where to speed by about 20 MPH on pit road.

:D well, considering it took a US force of a couple of hundred thousand troops around 9-11 mos to locate Saddam -- I'm having a hard time believing that a bunch of underequipped rebels will find Qaddafi quickly :D

Who had the pole in this race?

I don't know, Dylan used to always post the starting orders but she's been too busy looking for Qadaffy or some shit.

Still have the flood waters up North?

They're slowly going down.

Good win for Brad. I still can't believe Hendricks opted for Mark Martin's old ass over this guy.

wow... Kewelowski won!

That boy comes to race... He's on a roll

Sweet... Great job

I can't remember the story. I remember Rick saying something like - He will get his chance to sign Brad in the future....

I'll have to look for it the article.

Better late, than never... LMAO

Anyone watching the race?

Nationwide at Atlanta

Live on ESPN2

It's football season

:D

are you watching college football?

I like this track!

Caution -- #62 - Annett is mowing the lawn

Ran out of talent on front stretch

LSU vs Oregon on ABC

What's wrong Dylan? Noone wants to come out to play?

Hey, stonedstooge, Keep your eye on my boy - Kyle's on the move!!

Kahne might not have enough fuel. Edwards told to save fuel

Harvick came in for fresh tires

Edit: Caution: Annett takes a second spin.

Leaders pit for tires, fuel and I guess adjustments

He's complaining about his car. Do they have another pit left?

27 to go when green -- Edwards beat the leaders out of pits

http://www.nascar.com/nationwide-ser...derboard/race/

The Kid is out

Wait, Allgaiger caused the wreck... not up on car numbers in nationwide

Trevor is starting to loose some of his kiddish actions. He was upset about getting taken out
