Will you pick the same driver every sunday! haha

Might as well do a thread once a week and just tell everyone who your favorite racer is.

In the shootout I'm gonna take... DICK TRICKLE

So Jiffy Pop caused a wreck right at the end setting up a green-white-checker finish. The 18 who unbelievably was still going passes Tony Chewbakka with just feet to go and wins by less than 1/4 of a second.

Say what you will about kyle M&M's Bushy, he may be a *&^%$ and poor sportsman but man can he drive. He proved last night on more than one occassion he has serious car control. To bad he drives for toymota the enemy now.

If they stay with the two car draft it will be, but if they go back to old school ways it should be pretty exciting?

I just liked that Gordon was trying to wreck Rowdy and ended up wrecking himself.

The smaller rear spoiler decinatly broke up the # car drafting. Im wondering how overheating will be with the cooling changes nascar made. The idea was to make it so a car cant stay tucked in but it was almost like if you werent leading you were running hot.

Joe, I think slow learners is a understatement

Radiators went from 5 gallon to 2, grill opening is smaller, and higher up, then the rear bumper is 2" lower so the grill opening cannot get cooling air when tucked up (pushing) the car in front.

So yeah, they will run hot if they don't get clean air. :)
