Title: Green Flag Time!
Post by: BlueStateSaint 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 . . .  :-)

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.
