Bottom post of the previous page:

Sliced Bread wins again, Harvick out of fuel before T6 in last lap. Kyle Busch second, Harvick manages third, Kenseth fourth and Kurt Busch fifth.

After this race Kyle Busch is now in the top 30.

Those road courses still manage to produce the best races this season.
They should add Road America to the schedule and let one road course be a part of the chase. (instead of that lottery called Talladega)

Legendary driver/broadcaster Buddy Baker has passed away from lung cancer at age 74.

Fair to say he was one of the greatest ever without a Cup title?

RIP Buddy Baker

[erwin greven]

Definitely, he should be added to that list.

There are plans to add the Boot section to the Watkins Glen layout next year.

Good stuff happening at Darlington this weekend. A low downforce package, a ton of teams running retro paint schemes, plus the legendary Ken Squier and Ned Jarrett will call part of the race for NBC.

I've read that some paints are done with simple hand work, pencils...., instead of wraps. (And that at Darlington....)

[Cheeveer]

I'm actually looking forward to this one.

[erwin greven]

Me too. One of those classic tracks.

Clint Bowyer's scheme (a tribute to the late Buddy Baker) is almost entirely hand-painted:

Darlington had the best racing I've seen in a non-dirt NASCAR races in a long time! Very thankful for talented drivers like David Ragan, Jeb Burton, Trevor Bayne, Cole Whitt, JJ Yeley, Mike Bliss, Michael Annett, Danica Patrick, Ricky Stenhouse, that they broke up the race so we didn't have to endure those dreary long green flag runs.

Wait, scratch that last part.

Other than the blue balls finish, and the little bit half-arsed TV graphics, nice throwback theme.

Tony Stewart will retire after the 2016 season. Official announcement is expected tomorrow.

Austin Theriault suffered a compound fracture of his lower back after taking a vicious head-on hit into the wall in last night at Vegas:

Not surprised, saw it live, winced just a tad when he hit the wall.
