I'm pissed right now. We're not getting the race Saturday night. It's being replaced with the f'ing Titans game.

That's ridiculous. Surely it'll be on another station.

Maybe they'll show it on espn news or classic or something like that. I can only hope.

Are you sure you're on the right station? The race will be shown on ABC, not ESPN, this week.

Yes. The local ABC affiliate is ch2 here in Nashville. They're showing the Titans preseason game instead of the race.

Parts 1 and 2 are going to be easy. It won't be until he faces fair competition tomorrow night that he might not win.

He runs very good at Bristol, I'm not worried

He's going to have to pass 42 cars to win tomorrow. Damn his crew must have missed the setup for qualifying. Also, LOL at everyone cheering when he spun out.

Again, not worried. He was 3rd fastest in practice.

On the old configuration at Bristol, starting dfl would be an almost insurmountable hill to climb. Since the repave where you can run multiple lanes and pass with ease, if they can either repair the car back to where it was in practice or hit the setup on his backup car, he should have no problem being a factor tomorrow night.

I don't think he should stop

I think there's more people at tonight's Busch race than there were at the spring Cup race. Probably a good sign for attendance tomorrow night.

Night race is just about always packed out.

Night race is just about always packed out?

Used to be nearly impossible to get tickets. A few years ago it got to the point that attendance had fallen enough that you could easily see empty seats on TV. Last year was better after the repave, but I still don't think it sold out. I'm not sure if tomorrow is sold out or not, but I remember that the spring race attendance this year was pathetic. I have a friend in the National Guard who told me he threw over 40 tickets in the trash because he couldn't even give them away.

 

[bubbacurry1]

Last time I went to Bristol was in 01, it was packed. Of course, that was before NASCAR killed NASCAR.

 

[bleedorange0037]

Also, my buddy who threw away all those spring race tickets was only able to get 2 for tomorrow night, so clearly the demand is MUUUUCH higher for the night race.

 

[bleedorange0037]

Wow, what a snooze fest. It's almost as if the guy who won the race belonged in another class altogether from the rest of the field.

The race is being shown on ESPN here in the Nashville viewing area.

Well it's like that Busch fan said, in order to be the best, you gotta beat the best! That's why Busch races in nationwide and craftsman, right?

There's part 2 of the sweep

 

[SyxxSynse]

There's part 2 of the sweep

I have a feeling he's going to do it again. He has a tall mountain to climb in the Cup race, but it just has the feel of a sweep again.

Bristol Motor Speedway has produced more accidents than any other track on the circuit dating back to 1990.

I can see that happening. People drink a lot of beer there, and sometimes the lines to the bathrooms are really long. It's pretty embarrassing that they track that though.
