Kurt Busch's car for the NNS race on Friday night!

I'm droppin' the hammer, Harry!

Meh..... a guy who can't get sponsors because he effed up would go a lot further with me if he drove a blank car (like a dunce cap) rather than pretending he has sponsors and making it look like a movie car.

[LMITOUT]

It's just a Nationwide race where sponsors aren't easy to come by anyway. Might as well have some fun with it since it's not a full-time schedule for him in that series.

Now, if Kyle would run a black #51 Exxon car on Friday night too...that would be awesome.

[LMITOUT]

Uh oh...16 Cup teams got nabbed during inspection today for using altered parts (roof flap spacers modified to make them lighter).

The teams that got caught: all three JGR cars, all three Roush cars, both Penske cars, all three MWR cars, both RPM cars, Bayne, McMurray, Mears.

You mean to tell me the HMS cheaters were all legal??

You hit the nail on the head.

[LMITOUT]

Yeah! HMS and RCR were about the only teams not participating in roof flap gate. McMurray was the only Chevy in the bunch.

After NASCAR found the problem on the 16 Cup cars they rechecked the Nationwide cars and found 15 of them doing the same thing. Again, mostly the same Ford and Toyota teams.

Is anyone watching the race tonight? TNT's coverage is horrible. Three minutes of racing followed by three minutes of commercials. Repeat. I really hope they aren't renewed in this round of TV contracts.

[bbfenatic]

I agree...the racing has been excellent...packed in tight. But the extended commercial breaks make it tough to watch...oh here we go again...another commercial break!

[LMITOUT]

Twitter is on fire tonight about it. The people are not happy.

TNT has never been great, or even that good for that matter, but this is ridiculous.

[LMITOUT]

...and another commercial.

[hugonian1]

TNT coverage is horrible.

Another commercial break as I type this.

Seems like if there is a wreck or good action it happens during a break.

Only good part of all the breaks is you don't have to listen to these announcers.

[LMITOUT]

...and another.

[harvey lee]

Yes, lot's of commercials. I usually do not care who the announcers or commentaters are as I just watch the race.

Commercials are money and if they can get away with a few extra or longer ones, they will.

[candiru]

A good test would be what lap number their first commercial break appears on. I know it was not very far into the race.

[LMITOUT]

I wanna say it was lap 8.
