Trevor Bayne in his 2nd Sprint Cup start... imagine that!

20 year old winner, that was a great race.

Not a bad race, still not a fan of the RP setups/rules, but pretty happy that the #5 was able to get a top 10 finish despite an early race "wreck".....

Now the "REAL" season begins with the handling tracks.

Go #5!

Now that we have the first of the "restrictor plate" races done, we can get on with normal handling NASCAR racin.

Heard today that this will be the last Phoenix race with it's current config -- PIR was my first "attended" race back in 1994 -- they are apparently going to add some banking at the dog-leg, as well as progressive banking at both corners....

Will be interesting to see the changes.....

It will be interesting, but honestly I like PIR the way it is. Flat tracks are pretty cool, and this one certainly is unique! I always thought it put on a good show as well.

I agree Steve -- I hope they don't "screw it up" trying to make it better.....

I guess I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, though. Homestead turned out really good when they added banking in 2003.

Darn, I'm not a big fan of KB, but I am a fan of his talent -- wouldn't be surprised to see this kid sweep Phoenix this weekend, although I'm still hoping MM can pull something off from mid pack......

Can't argue with KB's results -- Carl gave him a run at the last, but I think Kyle was just "toying" with him.

Well that was an interesting crash.

18, 99, 29, and 5 all have damage.

m4a1mustang 02-27-2011 03:05 PM

Ok now THAT was an interesting crash!

Yea -- they're manufacturing a piece for Mark, but have him back on and still on the lead lap

Not sure what the heck happened to the 18....

CRAP there is another one....

Sscottfitz 02-27-2011 03:11 PM

THAT was a mess! Lot of good cars are no longer very good cars......

m4a1mustang 02-27-2011 06:02 PM

How about them apples? 24 back in VL. :D

Sscottfitz 02-27-2011 06:12 PM

Not a bad day for Hendrick/Hendrick powered cars -- #24 1st, #48 3rd, #39 5th, #14 7th, #88 10th, & #5 13th -- gotta make Mr. Hendrick happy!

The #24 definitely had a stout ride today!

OK, off to Vegas next week!

SPOHN 02-27-2011 07:59 PM

^ yea that's nice. I know Gordon is happy after that long streak.
