arrrrggggggg .... its raining in Texas

[Deadwood Dutch]

Looks like some showers just went through again but they are still drying the track. I understand that water seepage can be a problem there. They have lights so possibly a night race.

[JEBar]

finally, the engines have stated at Texas .... looks like it is going to be a long night .... good to see the 3 car with the Number 1 starting position

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

Well, I had a great rain delay show, but NBC just quit airing it when the 6 O'clock news came on. Well, back to the Live Leader Board and the Radio, lol.

It is on NBCSN if you are on cable and get the channel. Currently on lap 13 so it will be a late night checkered flag.

[Deadwood Dutch]

Congratulations to Carl Edwards even though he won a rain shortened race. But there were only 44 laps to go. He needed a win at Texas Motor Speedway or in Phoenix next week to advance in the chase because he was 32 points behind. It makes me happy that he won!

Yeah, I figured that they were going to do that, but I don't get it.

I'm one of the ones that have never had cable or a dish, just my trusty old antenna, lol.

Right, congrats to Carl. The one who I wanted to win and the one I would now like to see win the championship.

Only 2 races to go now. The season has gone pretty quick again.

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

What a race today in Phoenix.

It was a nail biter at the end, lol.

Of the 4 advanced to Homestead, what is your order ?

Mine would be:

Champion: Carl Edwards
2nd: Kyle Busch
3rd: Jimmie Johnson
Last: Joey Logano

[Deadwood Dutch]

Mine would be the same.

It's hard not seeing Denny make it! But congrats to the final 4!
I'm rooting for Carl!

[JEBar]

Championship Day .... hope they put on a good race

[Deadwood Dutch]

I'm rooting for Carl!

Me too!

[JEBar]

I've got to pull for the 48 .... if any team can overcome having to start at the back of the field, its the 48

[JEBar]

wreck .... red flag with 10 laps to go

[Deadwood Dutch]

From listening to Carl Edwards, I agree with him, he had to try to block the 22 car and he is a real class act seeing it that way and not blaming Logano for bumping him. He thought that if Logano got past him that he would not catch him. He said, "that's racing." That's another reason why he will be my favorite driver next year with Tony Stewart retiring. Now, it should be an interesting restart.

[Deadwood Dutch]

Congratulations to Jimmie Johnson!

[JEBar]

48

[RetiredSeabee]

I think the race ended the way it should! Since Carl took himself out blocking Joey. I thought then this needs to be #7 for The 48.

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

Well, Jimmie was my 3rd choice, but congrats to him on his big win.

Also, he might not have won anyway, but I have no idea why Kyle Busch pitted with 3 laps to go. His tires were like brand new to begin with.
