    I hate it but Indy isn't made for stock cars. Really difficult to pass and the pit lane is bad.

    Harvick team had said on the radio to push the 11 because they didn’t think his tires would hold up. Well, they nailed that.

    Looked like he hit or ran over something right before it went right. On the replay from the back you could see something metal fly up high over the car.

    Think that was a hood flap that was knocked off when the tire came apart.

    my buddy who is the biggest NASCAR guy I know is adamant that JR will be more famous for his announcing than driving when it’s all said and done.

    What do you guys think of Herbst? He's a Las Vegas kid that has a lot ties to out my way in Orange County. His family owns a chain of gas stations and some casinos. While they also have or had some pretty good off road racing teams out here.

    I think the bump in the flat was more of the issue then him trying to stick it.

    edit, best shown on the head on replay.

    I like it. They’re addressing the racing aspects that are wrong with Cup racing right now. Shorter races, more short tracks, racing under the lights, and make the drivers have to work the car more. I like those pieces of the puzzle.
