Man, I'd love to see Jr. win. I'd bet on the #48 or #20 first. Starts out here before noon. Anyday that gives me a reason to have a beer before noon is a good day.

I agree, just not the same with out Big E and there are way to many commericals. I think #20 will be tough. What do you guys think about Toyotas in nascar. Rice is every where . Damn

I enjoy the road courses much more (make these guys turn right for a change), but I'll watch the last hour or so.

Let's rephrase the question counselor: How many C5 owners are going to watch the race? Okay now?
Sirious radio has ten additional channels today, dedicated to the in-car radios of ten teams. I'll be watching and listening. Gotta go with Tony
