2011 NASCAR Season

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

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.
