This Race has got to be a good one !2 mile track, alot of the "top dogs" starting in the rear of the pack.... 188 mph speeds.... hopefully they won't wait till the last 20 laps to get busy... could be another boring plate race, don't say it, or it could be a bump and run barnburner from front to back... I always hope for Rusty....but today my moneys on Kenseth, he's due and hes got a fast car. I think Martin will make it to the top three. Gordon won this race last year...so he might be up there if fat Tony doesn't bump him out early... anyways... have fun ! go baby go !!!!

Fords are ready for a VICTORY!!!Dodges will make a strong showing,,,but fade at the end. More testing needed on the Charger body.

Don't worry, Jeff will be back. They had some HMS engine issues today. Good to see the 6 and 2 run good again. Johnson has 1 more lap, he wins. His HMS engine was just fine.------------------ BackinBlack

tom... you are so right .... Jeff will be back, i have the utmost respect for him, one heck of a driver and a heck of a team.... I've just never been a fan of his....i guess i'm always cheering for the underdog.... something he hasn't been for many years.. next race is in Los Vegas on the 13th....kenseth won last years race there This message has been edited by halicat on 02-27-2005 at 07:15 PM

AC, They were woried about Jeff's engine before it let go, as the other HMS engines were having troubles. Crazy to think that a bad part gets put in all those same engines and causes problems for all of them. Sound like a conspiracy to me. I think Jack Roush is behind this or maybe NASCAR ITSELF!! Come on Dave ,what do ya think? lol------------------ BackinBlack

Tom - you are real close to the cause. Hendricks Motorsports Racing teams are supplied by Carquest [Vickers and young Busch on the front row = Carquest sponsored ] I work for Carquest. I hate Chevy race cars! I shipped the teams some worn out connecting rods and marked them as new, lol.I do my best to see that HMS teams have DNF's >>>> I found a way into Butchchee's favorite car, This message has been edited by ALLEY CAT on 02-28-2005 at 08:18 AM

I knew there was something dark and sinister about this. More HMS quality control people and security agents are needed. Any volunteers?------------------ BackinBlack
