That is cool. I wonder if I can get a die-cast replica of that.

It's never an easy thing to deal with...

Barely.

I'll find it for you after the race.

are you a reerun? don't forget to put your bike helmet on when you walk out of the house tomorrow.

tony stewart is the man

Wow... Jimi & Kurt go around...

Kurt is screaming at Jimi "I got your number!"

Did NASCAR pull Jimi off the track for a time out?

Pretty sure he's taking a dive.

Whoa, **** that. 5:29 left to go in the Nebraska game.

Ambrose spun off Blaney

That chrome one is badass though.

51 spins again -- 2nd or 3rd time tonight

Uh oh. Bowyer is on a roll tonight He took out about 9 cars tonight LMAO

Poor Rudi

I think JimiJo was also involved

How many wrecks since I left?

Jeff is on the move

I lost count... :D

Junior up to 15th -- I think he has to get up to 12th to make the Chase.

Gordon has the fastest car on the track right now -- He might win this race

With 65 laps to go. doubt if Harvick can keep up the lead

Dylan Harvick. Is that you?

Come on Kyle...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He's moving on up (4th)

Bug: Stewart is 8th

Juniors in as of now

Mr. Bill commercial? Wonder what percent of people that goes right over the head of

are you sure? I hope so


Kyle is moving -- He's great on this track -- one caution and kyle can challenge the leader...

Announcers said he was and his name is still in the green

Kyle & Stewart have the best looking race cars tonight!

There goes Gordon -- He's going to take Harvick

Harvick dropping back

Don't think Harvick can keep him away

This is such a great track -- It separates the men from the boys

And Kyle is up to 3rd...

He overdrove the car

There's your caution Dylan

Woooooooooooooooooo!!!


Now the excitement begins

Jeff is holding up Kyle on the restart

Gordon's pit crew ****ed that one up. This loss is on them. Hopefully they admit it.

Harvick got this

Carl can't do it --

Was the whole race as boring as the last 25 laps?

Looked like Carl's car was faster, just couldn't get around him

dang that frikin caution

Simply Red... LOL

http://cdnimg.visualizeus.com/thumbs...51b961de_m.jpg

So who are the top 10 now?

I think the caution cost Gordon the race j/m/o

and messed up Kyle who was behind the 24 on the restart

JimiJo isn't very good at wrecking people on purpose LOL

It's reset and not that order.....

Can't remember from the past, does each driver start with points or do they get zeroed out and everyone starts even?

I really thought it was David Gilliland's year.

Denny needs to work on his product placement. Coke isn't cutting him a check to show a UPC label.

The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup

As of the 2011 season NASCAR changed The Chase format once again. Points are tallied after 26 races and the top ten in points are locked into the final ten race Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup. Those ten drivers will then be manually seeded with three bonus points for every race that they won during the first 26 races of the season.

In addition to the top ten the two drivers with the most wins who were not in the top ten, but are in the top twenty in points will make the Chase and will be seeded 11th and 12th. They will not get the bonus points for wins going into the Chase.

For the last ten races, NASCAR points are still assigned the same way as the rest of the season to determine the champion.

ABC did a nice job tonight

Turn on SPEED - NASCAR Victory Lane Live

Thanks

Chase:

11. #2 Brad Keselowski Dodge Miller Lite
12. #11 Denny Hamlin Toyota FedEx Express

Very cool! Carl raced him clean and one more lap he would have had him~

The points reset to 2000 for the start of the Chase. Ten drivers will then be manually seeded with three bonus points for every race that they won during the first 26 races of the season.

NASCAR Bonus Points

Bonus points are awarded as follows:

Three bonus points are awarded to the driver that wins the race.

One bonus point is awarded to any driver that leads any lap. An additional bonus point is awarded to the driver that leads the most laps in each race.

Congrats to Smoke for the win, Harvick made a run at it but came up short~

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — For a NASCAR driver used to 200-mph speeds and nerve-rattling finishes, who would have thought kicking a 20-yard field goal in an empty NFL stadium would be so tough?

Visiting Gillette Stadium, the home of the New England Patriots, in advance of Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race in Loudon, New Hampshire (2 p.m., ESPN), driver Joey Logano got a few expert pointers on how to do just that from veteran Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski.

The 21-year old Logano is a native of Middletown, Conn. and was raised a Patriots fan. Logano races for the NASCAR team owned by three-time Super Bowl-winning head coach Joe Gibbs, and has attended NFL games with the former Redskins coach in the past.

“I watched football, but I wasn’t a huge fan until I signed with Joe Gibbs Racing. I’ve learned a lot about the sport because he talks a lot about it,” Logano explained. “I’ve become a fan of it, and from being up in the New England area, being in Connecticut, obviously you’re a Patriots fan.”

In addition to receiving a tour of the Patriots’ facilities on Thursday, Logano tried his hand at field goal kicking with Gostkowski, sending it through the uprights on his final attempt.

“Steve is an awesome guy. I had fun with that,” Logano said. “I’ve never really kicked a football before. I’m not very athletic when it comes to every sport. I’ve figured out how to drive a race car pretty good.

“I played hockey growing up. [But] kicking a football, I had no technique,” Logano joked. “I’m not very flexible — I can’t even touch my toes — so it was definitely interesting. I’m sure I didn’t look too coordinated out there.”

The Patriots may not be calling up Logano to placekick for them anytime soon, but could Gostkowski be headed for a career in racing?

“I get scared when my truck goes over 75 mph,” Gostkowski joked. “You have a lot of respect for these guys. Something like driving is a lot like kicking. People think anybody can go out and do that. But there’s definitely a lot of skill… People who have never done it, and have never been to game or a race, probably can’t appreciate it as much.”

So I was watching qualifiying the other day. Montoya got done qualifiying and was terrible. Started crying about the track conditions being bad. Next 4 guys out went 10th, 7th, 2nd, and 1st.

Robby Gordon thinks Montoya is a crybaby.

Holy crap, Tony won again!

Bug: Tell Robby he's dead wrong!
