[NNC] 2007 Season

Tonight the COT at Loudon, one of my favorite tracks. Some of the latter COT races have been boring but I loved the Bristol, Phoenix and Richmond races. So I do hope they can put on a good show at New Hampshire.

I like the track too. Not too many people like it but I think it's great.

Sure hope Jeff Gordon can win. And if not, Dave Blaney just for the sake of it :tongue: .

JPM 5th in qually, hopefully he'll take back-to-back victories :tongue:

Hopefully not. He will probably get dumped for racing lead lap cars too hard.

Yeah, Loudon is just great. Small unique oval that features loads of side by side racing. It looks like a big oval but it has the tempers of a short one.

We're green!

(300 laps and no comments later)
...and Denny Hamlin wins!

Well, this topic went down the drain fast. :tongue:
Hopefully, it'll be better when they go to Daytona next week for the Pepsi 400. I'm going there for the race, so let's hope for an awesome finish like the '500. :thumbsup:

I wish you all the best at the track then. Btw, are you going to the 500 next year? I am so...

But somehow, NASCAR won't tell us the winning margin on their website.

I've just watched the rerun. That last restart I was just waiting for the crash to happen. When was the last time (apart from 07 500) you saw a green flag finish on a RP. But then the white flag waved and they kept it altogether. What a finish and what an ending for the COY. Jamie and Kyle both deserved it but one of them already had a victory that day so it was kinda fair.

I just heard about the plane crash in which Dr. Bruce Kennedy, husband of International Speedway Corp. President Lesa France Kennedy was killed. Aside from being a horrible incident in which five people were killed it's also extremely though on Lesa France. She lost her dad (Bill France Jr.) in June and now loses her husband. I wish her all the best and hope she pulls through.

A great Brickyard 400. After the wreckfest ended we saw some awesome racing. However Tony maybe doesn't understand that the Harvick bump on the cooling down lap was not friendly. Kevin surely wasn't happy with the way Tony passed him into T2, trying to run him into the wall. I think they need to have a good talk before Stewart can drive another Busch car for Harvick. :haha:

They had pretty good races this year. This one was definately great, one of the better Brickyard 400's I've seen.

Now on to Pocono, often not that good but still a great track.

Pocono was a bit dull :(

It is off to Watkins Glen next.

My money is on JPM for the win. Marcos Ambrose will make his Cup debut there.
