When the chat was going on I had checked on Nascar.com to see where are our guys were. at that point, they had Ryan as 6th and Tony was still in 1st. Well I
just looked again, and while Tony is in 1st Ryan has only dropped 1 spot to 5th. That's a little good news and all in all, this was just one race, so
let's keep our chins up!!!

The race was kind of a bummer, wasn't it? It just seemed that they couldn't get Tony's car to be just right all day but a 7th place finish
wasn't bad. What the heck happened to Ryan? He was never a factor the whole day long.

I agree Margie, that race was boring. I listened to Ry's scanner today & he had a horrible day. At the end Tony Gibson
asked for his temps & all Ryan said was can I tell you in the garage I just want to get out. I felt so bad for him !!! At least it's only one spot that
he dropped !! Good top 10 for Ton though !!!
Baby blue was the color of his eyes....

We had the Racebuddy set up on a laptop today while watching the race. It was great! I enjoyed the race so much more because I got to see whats going on the
entire time. I actually enjoyed the race, I didnt understand what happened to Tony after the final pit because usually he was dropping back and then it would
take his car a couple laps and he would be on fire and back in the top 5.
Racebuddy is definately the way to go while watching this race. Definately doing it again next week. I also liked Larry McReynolds piece on DW. Glad the guys maintained pretty high positions in the standings, had JJ won, he might have knocked Tony back to #2 and Ryan seems to have built himself a nice cushon, almost 100 points between him and Mark Martin in the 8th spot. I am sure both teams will rebound and get back up to top 5 shape next week. I dont think they interviewed JJ bc hes JJ, I think they attempt it each time something like that happens but most drivers are so mad and frustrated they refuse to be interviewed over what obviously happened. I am fairly sure they attempted to interview Tony last year after his tire blew in the final laps, just as they have attempted to interview Kyle Busch after his tires have blown recently.

Speaking of Jimmie and the interview... I swear, no wonder Kyle doesn't like the press. Jimmie was saying something about his finish and part of it was,
"...wherever I came in," and the interviewer guy jumps right in and tells him, "22nd!" God. Um, yeah, thanks for reminding me - JERKFACE! I
was amazed at his calm...only Jimmie could take that one in stride. But anyway, like Cris said, I think it was just because it was an interesting story,
although I would've rather heard what Chad had to say about his fuel (mis)calculations, myself.
LOVED seeing Mark Martin win, if it couldn't be Tony! I actually turned to my dad and said that I hope both Biffle and JJ run out of gas and Mark wins...no word of a lie. And voila, it happened! |

Yeah i agree, in chat today, i told everyone that of the ones in the top 5 at the time, which were Biff, JJ, Denny, Mark and Gordo, i told them i'd rather
see Denny or Mark win!!! I guess I got my wish since it couldn't be Tony today!

You two just reminded me that Denny had a good day today. I was really happy to see him happy after the race, especially after last week. I was pulling for
Denny out of the top 5 also, I like his reverse fuel strategy.

I just think it was rude that a race kept interrupting the commercials. Seriously, I think there were commercials every 5 laps. I saw more commercials than
race. Thank goodness for Race Buddy. Glad we only have 4 more races with TNT, their coverage is terrible and I don't like that they cut the VL stuff out
and end everything before the scheduled time. The race was supposed to run until 5:30, at 5:10 they had switched over to some Cops type show. I'm still mad
that right after Tony crossed the finish line last week they went straight to commercial. If it weren't for Race Buddy I would have missed his burnout.
