ARGH! 13 cautions?!? They need to stop having cautions for every spin
this is getting ridiculous!

Several of the last cautions have been because a driver got a bit squirrely and never even hit the wall...no debris...no caution. Let 'em race

1. Rather see cautions than someone killed...
... just because someone goes off without debris doesn't mean they may not be in trouble--spilled methanol lighting off, for example, is really hard to see at first. Someone spinning hard can be very disoriented, as well, and a cornerworker should be checking to see if they're okay. Might prevent a future accident.

4. They should finish this up by playing NASCAR on a PS2!

5. That was pretty annoying
kinda made a sham of the race. More strategy though, I guess, with the fuel and all.

Danica acquited herself very nicely. BTW, where are the pics of her in the bikini? I heard she did a spread, but haven't actually seen the pics.

7. oh, sorry
they had a large number at indy today too. At least it seemed that way to this non-racing fan. In fact they finished under the yellow.

I see that Ryan Newman was on the poll tonight. I have him in my fantasy NASCAR team, and he always seems to run better on the weekdays than the weekend :-)

9. He never does.
If i got points for his starting position, I'd be kicking ass. Sadly, he seems to ALWAYS finish behind where he started.

10. See? And they say NeckCar is superior to Indy racin'
Edited on Sun May-29-05 08:42 PM by Twillig
it's like a race of big fat jumbo jets versus freakin' fast fighter jets streakin' around defying death!

And Hot CHIX that can really drive!

11. Well, it's turned into a good race now, though.
And Darrell Waltrip cracks me up!
