I don't know how I feel about the #3 car being back on the track. I suppose it had to happen eventually. And at least it's Childress' grandkid driving it. I'll definitely be rooting for him to do well. Plus that car looks pretty sweet. I'm growing tired of being a Dale Jr. fan. I'll always want him to win, but he never seems to be able to. At some point we have to come to the conclusion that he's just not that good. It's exactly like being a Cubs fan. Every year is supposed to be better, but it never gets better. But I keep on cheering.
The 500 is pretty much the only race of the year I watch in it's entirety. All the others I either watch a few laps or none at all. Tried to watch the shootout last night but couldn't and just as well since Stewart was wrecked out.
I usually try to catch all of the restrictor plate races. And I'm when you about lady night's race. Not enough cars to keep me interested after the second segment. Ill be working next Sunday, but I'm planning on recording it and hopefully watching it later on.

nasty wreck on the last lap of the final duel. see how someof these guys that need tobuse their backup cars will do. you all know im all in with the philly sports fan truex jr
Unless they have some bad luck, the Gibbs cars are looking like the favorites to win. Based on the Duels, I think the race tomorrow will be boring until the last 50 laps or so, then there'll be some big crashes.
I believe they said he had engine problems. In a rain delay now, no telling when they'll get back to racing. I'll be out of beer before they finish..
