I guess I’m getting old, but I can remember Ricky Rudd’s comment on Harvick “Don’t really know what he said, he’s always got that yap yap mouth going”

That’s calling the kettle black. Typical Rudd comment.

Happy Harv has matured a bit since then too. Age does that I guess!

Chase Elliot looked good in today's truck race at Martinsville .... I'm not a big fan of short track racing but today's at Martinsville was a good one

I heard that they only made it 23 Laps before they called it because of Rain. Supposed to run it now Sunday night after the Cup race. Good chance to try out the new Lights there. That's if they run at all. It is supposed to change to Snow and get it up till 4 AM Sunday morning. Last I heard they could possibly get up to 8 Inches there.

[JEBar]

I just realized they must have been showing a prior race to fill the time .... I don't think Chase is in the truck race this year ..

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

That's happened to me more than once, lol.

Yeah, Martinsville only got 3 Inches, but it was enough to knock out the race. They said they worked all night on it, but decided early this morning to run it Monday. Nice and Sunny and 47 today should melt all of the snow. Tomorrow is supposed to be Partly Sunny and 50. Not too bad, but normal temperatures this time of year is the low '60's !!

Great win for Clint Bowyer !!

Ending a long winless streak.

Not a bad crowd there today either for a chilly Monday race.

[farmer.super55]

Bowyer Fan here,
That was a Great Win!
Ol Clint’s a good ol Kansas boy, who has paid his dues.

I'm not a Boyer fan but was glad to see him get back into Victory Lane .... anybody but Shrub .... SHR has sure been the dominate force so far this season

[Cowboy Gun Fan]

What a difference a few days make. Yesterday was 73 and mostly sunny in Martinsville.

once again the Fords look strong for this weekend's race .... Kurt's on the pole .... I've never been a fan of his but with one of my wife's former students being the chief engineer on his team, I can't pull against him anymore ....

[farmer.super55]

SHR looks to be strong again this week! Wonder why Brad K. and J. Laguano LOL cant keep up? A Ford is a Ford!

[Vaquero]

Cold down there today!

Red Flag at Texas .... it almost looked like "the big one" at 'Dega .... it appears likely NASCAR's requirement that all teams have to use a tire gun they issue is going to be heatedly discussed in the coming days

[JEBar]

Shrub pulled it out .. .. congrats to the #1 team for bringing a Chevy in 3rd
