Carl Edwards takes the pole in the SUBWAY Ford; where's the conspiracy theorists on that one?
Rest of the top5 is older Busch, Kahne, younger Busch and Regan Smith. Great start to the season for the Furniture Row 78 team. FULL LINEUP Brian Kesolowski only driver that failed to qualify. |

Thanks Andy!
I'll be with the MRN gang today, painting in my bathroom. I am a great multi-tasker, but don't think I could pull all that off. |

What the hell was Kyle Busch doing?
Edit - Messy race this, and we're not even half-way yet. Hope everyone involved in the 13-car pile-up are ok. Last edited by rustyfan; 27 Feb 2011 at 21:09. |

Nice to see Jeff Gordon win a race again, it's been a while.
Also nice to see Earnhardt Jr. grab top-10 finish. |

I missed the end, but caught the replay of it; looked to be a good battle. Listened to the first half on the radio. What a mess! Lots of torn up machinery. Kvapil took a nasty hit on the inside backstretch wall in the pile up.
The first two races have seen some awfully sloppy racing. Again, hope it's not a sign for things to come. |

what happened to Ambrose? looked competitive early on, but then dropped back. Was only reading the NASCAR lap-by-lap report which doesn't explain much. I take it his rise to 5th and then dropping back to a lap down towards the end was due to pit cycles?

So frustrating - Ambrose was on the lead lap when the last caution was thrown. Commentators say Dale jnr gets the lucky dog, then when they go back to racing Dale jnr is in 10th place & ambrose is a lap down in 17th - wtf
Congrats to Jeff on getting the win & stopping the Kyle 3-race win weekend *** I like the points system i think! |

Nice to see Jeff is back on it. Was dreadful last season, worryingly.

Sucks that they're repaving and reconfiguring the place.

GET YOUR PIECE OF THE TRACK!
I have never been a huge fan of PIR, but it has started to grow on me a little because of it's uniqueness, not it's close racing. Still don't see the need of going there twice a year, and since there is no open wheel race there anymore, I am sure that the PIR folks feel they need to cater to NASCAR. From PIR's news page; this is the main portions of the "reconfiguration": Quote:

It really isn't. It is old and on the verge of breaking.
