They had one entrance into and out of the garage because of a reconfiguration of the infield and, as one might expect, it led to clownshoes. Cole Whitt ran into the back of Sam Hornish, Jr., who had the right of way, but was waiting because Danica was trying to get in and waiting for Hornish to leave.

So they brought out a NASCAR official to play traffic cop.

The one thing I'm finding I don't like about NBC so far is that they repeat the same thing over and over again. I've been told three times in the last ten minutes "If Kyle Busch wins, he'll get maximum points, and he needs to be in the Top 30 to make the Chase. This is the type performance he needs to close the gap." by Steve Letarte, Jeff Burton, and Rick Allen, in that order.

What was determined to make a good race from the first Drivers' Council meeting?

quote:

"I think so. NASCAR I think wants pack racing and drafting and passing. Tons of passing, tons, tons - if they could pass every straightaway at speed that would a great show for NASCAR, which it would be great to watch," Earnhardt said.

"I think the drivers' opinion of what a great show is, is a bit old-school. Something from the '80s and the '90s. Not necessarily in the fact that fifth place was a lap down, because that stuff is not going to happen these days because the sport is too competitive. But off-throttle time, guys sliding around, tires wearing out, tires not making a fuel run, having to really take care of it.That's the kind of thing we want to encourage."

All is right in the NASCAR world again: Kyle Busch is pouting like a bitch over a 4th place finish in a race which is meaningless to him.

Ok, I've gone off the deep end. Taking a page out of LASTCAR's book, I'm going to start keeping track of the NXS Best In Class because I'm genuinely interested in who's done the best out of Xfinity regulars. This week's winner, which will make maffewbuildings happy, is :siren: DANIEL SUAREZ :siren:. It's Suarez' third win of the season!

This follows (actual finish in parenthesis. Erik Jones does not count.):
-Daytona- Ryan Reed (OVERALL WINNER!)
-Atlanta- Ty Dillon (3rd)
-LVMS- Ryan "Man Without A Series" Blaney (2nd)
-Phoenix- Ty Dillon (6th)
-California- Brendan Gaughan (2nd)
-Texas- Regan Smith (4th)
-Bristol- Daniel Suarez (2nd)
-Richmond- Regan Smith (3rd)
-Talladega- Brian Scott (2nd because God hates us all)
-Iowa- Chris Buescher (OVERALL WINNER!)
-Charlotte- Regan Smith (5th)
-Dover- Chris Buescher (OVERALL WINNER!)
-Michigan- Chase Elliott (2nd, how'd it take him so long to show up on this list god drat)
-Chicagoland- Ryan "Man Without A Series" Blaney (2nd)
-Daytona- Elliott Sadler (2nd)
-Kentucky- Daniel Suarez (4th)
-NHMS- Daniel Suarez (5th)

So next week will be my first race ever, sadly at Indy. What are the must do's/don'ts and all that poo poo. We got the family passes so we get to go to like A, H and vista I think.

This is ten year old information (meaning when people used to go to the 400), but if you don't want to deal with traffic, consider taking one of the park-and-ride shuttles in from the airport or downtown. We stayed at a Residence Inn at the airport, which worked out amazingly well: hotel airport shuttle dropped us off on the arrivals level, walk to the Park-and-Ride bus. Skips traffic entirely.

You can also consider parking in somebody's driveway adjacent to the track seeing as the track sits in a residential neighborhood, which is bizarre as hell seeing it for the first time.

Sit as high as you can. I was at the pit entrance the year I went and you couldn't really see much at all.
