Joey Logano is running away with it. Getting ready for a shootout. Tires or no tires? Allright. Takes tires and passes 3 cars to win it. Passes Schrader right before the line. Another one for Joe Gibbs racing.

So is Joey going to be Stewart's replacement after he leaves Gibbs?

Hopefully he's bushy's.
Oh, thanks for the hint on cut and paste. It worked. Got the pixs down also. Maybe we'll get this new format figured out.

No doubt about. He turns 18 years old in late May and will run his first Nationwide race at Dover the following week. Lagano just put on a clinic today. He got the job done. Congrats Joey!

Why is Logano in a Monte Carlo SS and not a rice burner. Man what a boring race. Don't know if its the SPEED camera coverage, or Phil 'Toyota' Parsons. That Parsons guy hasn't been able to get a whole sentence out without using the word Toyota for the past two years. He has that new disease---Waltripopophy. Also, did you see those camera shots from pit road of the main grandstand under the glass suites. Pretty empty. Tickets were priced very reasonable but where were the fans. I hope Andy H. didn't invest only his money in this track, hope he had a lot of investors. Maybe the weather was terrible. Hope like H it works out for Andy.

I hope it works out as well.
Decent start
1. Coverage stunk. It wasn't even in HD.
I really enjoyed the hatchet job SPEED did on the ending. That was bad.
2. No Safer Barrier at that track. That looked strange.

Logano was driving the Billy Venturini Racing Chevrolet. Some sort of deal between Venturini and Gibbs. As for the crowd, Andy Hillenburg was in the booth for ten minutes during the race and commented that "we have a good crowd, a little more than half full". There is no way that place was even a quarter full.
If stock car racing had a "Robin Miller" type media guy, an honest guy who didn't hype everything, we'd hear someone on tv talk about the sad crowd. But, he wouldn't have much work as Miller has found out. Both the Indy Series and the Champ Car series hated the Miller cuz he talked about what a disaster both series became.
