They had a record 10 yellows, too.Gene Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677117602150714769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-11715411471533332011-03-14T21:38:24.872-07:002011-03-14T21:38:24.872-07:00Great pics Gene!

A lot of young exciting talent coming up out of trucks...should be a bright future for nascar!klvalushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013035051062088498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-27413200142225828762011-03-14T20:02:50.223-07:002011-03-14T20:02:50.223-07:00Jon...

Scary, how young he looks, and how well he got around the track. Once he learns how to work traffic he'll be awesome.Gene Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677117602150714769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-25679886316516686722011-03-14T19:58:04.587-07:002011-03-14T19:58:04.587-07:00JM.... thanks, I had garage and pit passes.

This time I went to the grandstands after qualifying was over, and watched the race. There was a decent crowd there, but we still could see the whole track from our seats.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to the Cup and NW at Darlington in a couple of months.Gene Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677117602150714769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-84036557404335499282011-03-14T19:54:45.075-07:002011-03-14T19:54:45.075-07:00Gene, cool pics!

He's going to be a Cup driver sooner rather than later. (Ya think Rick Hendrick was taking notes and thinking of ways to sign him up to succeed Jeff Gordon in the #24 when Gordon retires?)jon_464https://www.blogger.com/profile/11134872784295839356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-33758481014059480262011-03-14T19:53:26.485-07:002011-03-14T19:53:26.485-07:00Dwindy... the laps that Whitt was running were unb...Dwindy... the laps that Whitt was running were unbelievable. He ran up against the wall on both ends of the track... and he was fast. Kahne started taking the same line after he followed Whitt for awhile.Gene Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677117602150714769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611740933107502897.post-38280944167652867862011-03-14T18:39:53.559-07:002011-03-14T18:39:53.559-07:00Awesome stuff!

And his hair is naturally on fire!<br /><br />We used to have a name for those Vienna sausages...<br /><br />Wish I was there...Dwindy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02915617340823975656noreply@blogger.com
