Green Flag Time!
« on: February 15, 2009, 11:57:18 AM »
FOX has the broadcast starting at 2 PM.  I know that Ryan Newman and Tony Stewart, teammates on the Stewart-Haas team, had tires blow yesterday--and both cars got wrecked, and both drivers will use backup cars.

As the car turns . . .  left, of course . . .  :-)

Chase her.
Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

Damn, that took forever. Hour and a half of filler stories.

And they had to call it because of the rain.  Mike Helton apparently said that there was an hour-and-a-half of rain on the way, plus the high humidity wouldn't have allowed the track to be completely dry until 11 PM, and that was too late for the fans.

On to California!  Oh--congrats to Matt Kenseth on his first 500 win, and Jack Roush for his first 500 win as a car owner.

Heh, broke my heart to see Kyle "punk" Bush taken out of the race.   :-) :innocent:
