I know I won't be around for the start but I'll try to get there for the end. Some points to ponder:
Man, can you believe Scott Speed's qualifying effort? I feel for him right now as he is supposed to be a road race ringer and here he is watching the race like the rest of us - on the outside looking in.
How about Vickers' pole run?
Do you think there might be a Canadian 1-2 finish? Could you imagine if it indeed did happen?
How about Carl's Nationwide win last night? Cool.
I'm glad that Johnny Benson is making a good recovery from the injuries he sustained in a race last weekend.
Hornaday had a great run in the truck race didn't he?
Remember to comment and comment often.
Happy Father's Day to you Dads out there.

Beat me to it..
This still doesn’t help the 82 get back to the top 35 though. And he was getting so close..
You know.
I like road course racing. The novelty, unpredictability and excitement.
I know a lot of people will disagree but this beats a race at one of the cookie cutter superspeedways easily.
I wish Larry Mac
could call the race for both networks. I’m guessing there’s something in the contract prohibiting that though.
That's my guess too
These guys are rally getting on my nerves. If I had MRN radio I would turn down the volume on the TV
Thanks.
I found it really odd that Gordon was ahead of Busch and Stewart and yet behind the top 10.
So, the good guys took 2 tires? Or fuel only?
Under a Caution
the top 10 or so stay out and Gordon pitted,Then the ones that stayed out had to pit under green. Gordon came back for fuel only under green
