Hoping I can get tickets to both Nationwide + Sprint cup tickets to MIS this year. Gotta go to the June race instead of the August one. Made a mistake last time.

I haven't been to a race since I was a kid, last time I went I got a piece of rubber in my eye when there was a wreck right in front of me and I had to flush it out at a water fountain. Good times back when we used to go to Pocono and Dover once a year. Pocono sucks. I wouldn't be surprised if I get skin cancer just from sitting through those races on those hot bleachers for 3+ hours, like sitting on a frying pan. Dover is great though, definitely will go back some day.

These guys are racing too clean!!

And right front tires are blowing quicker than Jeff Gordon is lapping people right now.

Right when I thought this race was going to be total suckage.

[Mega-Tallica]

Clint Bowyer did what he had to do, he had fresher tires and a faster car, if Johnson didn't come down hard on Gordon, they would have gotten through fine.

But, with 2 laps to go, you can't really blame anyone.

I'm fine with Newman. Better than 24 or 48 like it was looking for 475 laps

[Mega-Tallica]

Yeah, talk about coming from nowhere. It was looking Hendrick victory #200 all day, but then with 2 laps to go it's Newman and Allmendinger who were barely holding on to top 10 spots not even 10 laps prior.

Best race by far this year would have been better if Johnson and Gordon could have settled it under green, but dumbass Reutimann had to go and ruin that. Love to hear his excuse for being a moron and not pitting.

Wasn't he trying to pit and just never had the room to get down?

Pre-Edit: Nevermind, they showed a replay, he clearly drove right past it despite being on the inside line.

Yeah, he was running around for like 10-15 laps and had plenty of opportunities to get down, but never did. Don't know what he was thinking, but completely altered the outcome of the race.

EDIT: Well, Reutimann sounds miserable in his interview, so that's something. Just a bad string of circumstances it looks like.
