Lap 26 and #48 still in the garage

[The instant classic]

Reutimann now is my hero :heart:
for hiting Sam into princess johnson

[themo]

With Kyle Busch running first after 73 laps can he win all three races here this weekend after winning the camping world truck series race and the nationwide series race ?

Nope. Was pulling for Kyle to finally get the trifecta, but 3 laps short on fuel. I watched on and off, and it looks like he lead most of the day. Just needed one more caution in the last segment and he probably could have made it. Disappointing. But I think he'll manage to pull this off sometime next season.

yo Dr. Punch, did Jimmie have a wreck, must've only said it every 30 seconds in the telecast

This has to be one of the worst commentators, please can the Speed guys take over for ABC and no, not DW :p : DJ, Rusty, Punch, Peatree, are so lazy and dull

Yeah, I agree. alan bestwick though is good.

Too bad that Gordon got messed up even worse than he was due to the Montoya thing. would like to see the points tighten up more so that Homestead would be a little bit exciting.

According to Jayski, they replayed the wreck 13 times during the broadcast and showed them working on Johnsons car in the garage 17 times in 68 minutes. :p :
