So, who thinks the Speed Energy Fuel has a big flavor of "Orange Crush" to it. Not even sure if Orange Crush is still around. I think Speed Energy needs to come out with yet another flavor or objective and name it "Re-Fuel" for my daughters recovery after her soccer games.

Tim - Is there no fun in waiting until raceday & seeing how everything shapes up ? Gotta qualify first & see who else gets in.

Looks like Rob has the ponies to make the show!

What I'm curious is if the setup he is running right now is translatable to a race setup....or are we in cruise in the back mode until the first pit stop to make the whole sale changes needed to go from Q trim to race trim with this being an impound race?

Move to strike..will reask after we make the show tomorrow :)

@BigZoom. So much for pack drafting you thought would be back.

Temperatures are alot cooler today. Sub should be warmer & with 43 cars together they will have to switch alot more. They won't be able to just push all day, gonna have to do some swapping... That's when it will get dicey! Too bad the pack didn't make a comeback!

My biggest concern is no lube.....

@JR, how long do you think slippy tape will be legal? My guess, it won't be legal Sunday morning.

@Mike, just think Nascar should have left out that rule. I don't think having another guy over the wall was the safety issue .I say leave the lube alone....lol

Just get rid of the slick tape on the rear, and let them race. Oh right! We can't have that. We have to have some goofy, mysterious, weird, thing going on, where drafting is okay, no matter the risk. Slippy tape. I'm sorry but this is a joke for racing.
