Tough day for a lot of the "big guns". I was watching some of the practice and a lot of people were struggling with the new track.

Mikey!

Did you hear the crowd cheer when he spun out in qualifying? The NASCAR fanbase is blood thirsty for the Toilet-odors to fail. People are sick and tired of NASCAR's dump and what they are doing to the best sport in the world.....even the fans in Vegas! That's pretty bad!

Mikey is always a safe bet to DNQ! What a joke...

[JohnMickish]

Only two Toyota's made the race and Jarret got in because he used to drive a Ford. These guys suck.

[Meaney]

yea I will agree with that mnfishinguy

[OUTDOORNUT]

My buddy is out there at the race and called as Waltrip was spinning out. I could hardly hear him! It really couldn't happen to a guy more deserving! I love it!!!

Wow is all I can say about going to a race. I had front row seats looking right at the end of pit row, looking right at Dale Jr's area. I have never heard anything so loud and watching the cars zip in front of me going 190 mph was awesome. Sitting front row I could see the whole track except turn 3 because of the big building they have there. Would I go to another race, yes.

mnwild glad to hear you had a great trip.

Tonight's list looks shockingly similar, once again headed up by the 55. Wonder when/if he'll ever get out of negative points this year????
