fieldodreams79 · 23 Apr 2010, 23:57 (Ref:2678771)

Plate Racing is upon us once again...
Q'ing 11:30 EST Saturday
Race 1:19 EST Sunday
100% of ugly on Saturday...severe weather moving through the Southeast over the weekend could dampen q'ing.

JAYSKI Race Page

Practice #2
Jeff Burton and Brad Kes topped the charts with a 48 flat second laps at 199.4 and change

Mike Bliss showing that the #09 still knows what to do at the plate tracks; they are 3rd quickest in Practice 2.

Newman already in a back up after crashing in practice due to a "bump" from Mark Martin.

looks like it is going to be fast and crazy. standards for Talladega.

Looks like q'ing has been canceled along with ALL ON TRACK ACTIVITIES and just about everything else in Alabama today.

Hope the weather doesn't get awful.

but that means two races tomorrow and i will get an afternoon nap during the GA race at VIR

very sunny now! meaning no delays!

MJ_N_09 · 25 Apr 2010, 17:40 (Ref:2679476)

GREEN!!!! Comp caution on lap 20 and guess who was leading?

Robby Gordon O.o. Also Logano, Smith, Busch, and Earnhardt have all led. SOme other surprises were Labonte and Kvapil in the top 10.

MJ_N_09 · 25 Apr 2010, 17:42 (Ref:2679478)

Kasey Kahne seems to have blown an engine.

skells22 · 25 Apr 2010, 17:46 (Ref:2679480)

back to green

MJ_N_09 · 25 Apr 2010, 17:55 (Ref:2679485)

Turns out that Kahne just had a bad spark plug, because he is back up there. Michael Waltrip was leading last I looked. (Wait? Mikey?)

Also, for the first time since Daytona, we appear to have no start and parkers. All the cars are still out there.

MJ_N_09 · 25 Apr 2010, 18:11 (Ref:2679498)

Surprise! The 66 and 87 call it a day.

MJ_N_09 · 25 Apr 2010, 18:35 (Ref:2679510)

Caution 2. Hamlin spins it.

MJ_N_09 · 25 Apr 2010, 18:41 (Ref:2679515)

Caution 3. Field day for Kyle Busch haters!!!!! He wrecks a ton of cars by dumping Johnny Sauter.

MJ_N_09 · 25 Apr 2010, 19:01 (Ref:2679529)

Caution 4: Regan Smith blows an engine.

Knowlesy · 25 Apr 2010, 19:23 (Ref:2679543)

Watch out, the Monster is coming.

Have I spoke too soon?

Knowlesy · 25 Apr 2010, 19:48 (Ref:2679556)

*gets excited*

**Adam43** · 25 Apr 2010, 20:17 (Ref:2679565)

Stupid 4:3 ratio.

Looks like a fun end...

**Adam43** · 25 Apr 2010, 20:21 (Ref:2679567)

Lifters are losers!

MJ_N_09 · 25 Apr 2010, 20:27 (Ref:2679571)

So, does this make Mike Bliss a winner? I guess Finch is a back to back winner now XD.

skells22 · 25 Apr 2010, 20:29 (Ref:2679573)

another g-w-c day and we still not have the big one!

**Adam43** · 25 Apr 2010, 20:31 (Ref:2679575)

Inside line for McMurray.

**Adam43** · 25 Apr 2010, 20:33 (Ref:2679579)

Surprisingly, we will have another go.

MJ_N_09 · 25 Apr 2010, 20:35 (Ref:2679581)

Uh, I would love to see those Gibbs boys have a little taste of karma. ALL 3 have turned cars today.

Knowlesy · 25 Apr 2010, 20:37 (Ref:2679583)

A mighty shunt.

EGR nose to tail to the flag? In reverse order?

No, it is too much to imagine.

MJ_N_09 · 25 Apr 2010, 20:38 (Ref:2679584)

And DW again refuses to blame a Toyota for the wreck.

Knowlesy · 25 Apr 2010, 20:43 (Ref:2679587)

DW is infuriating. How many more races do Fox have left?

Here we go, surely with about three cars left the race can be run.

take 2 now
