Bill Elliot.
I mean really, he's still got it. <--Broken record. And good job by AJ to get in the race. Is it a night race? |

It will end under dark I assume.
Bloody hell, Waltrip didn't just scrape in either did he? Toyota are slowly improving now it seems. Bye bye minus points score surely now... Roll on the evening. |

Well done Waltrip. It has been a miserable season for him: getting heckled weekly by the fans for running a Toyota, the Daytona incident, the (alleged) drink driving incident, continued DNQs, etc. I guess everyone deserves a break sometime.
Looks like Dale Jr is on the up too. Since he decided to look elsewhere next year his form has really picked up. I'd love to see him wipe the smile off of Hendricks face tonight! |

Dover has a 80% chance of rain today. Monday doesn't look real good either.

AAAAAAAAAAANNNNND...It's off. Until Monday, at least.
Sheesh, this is the third postponement in four races. I hope this an increasingly improbable series of coincidences and not the beginnings of a trend. |

It is getting rather tedious isn't it?
Still, there are some cover events. Just gotta decide which to watch. |

No. We got rained off at Talladega last year and had to come back on the Monday morning for the race. I really dread to think how many people phoned in sick that day - the grandstands were just as packed as they were on the Sunday!

You know, there was talk about building an indoor speedway in Pittsburgh several years ago. Once everybody involved realized exactly how much it would cost to enclose a mile-long oval, the idea pretty much died off.

Looks like Waltrip will finally pass us all in the drivers standings.

Apologies for that tasteless joke. I'm sorry. |

Good for Martin Truex. He's a south Jersey boy, and Dover is as close to a home track as he can get. He just dominated the race, and deserved his first win today. Nice weekend for Robby Gordon, too. He left Saturday for the Baja, placed third overall, then came back to finish in the top ten today

The general opinion is that it was Kurt's fault for going up into Tony. Kurt's stunt on pit road should cost him lots of points, talk about a stupid move.

Good job to Truex. It looks like if DEI can hold everything together they may not be in trouble without Junior.
