Bottom post of the previous page:

I've never really got the obsession with Mid Ohio. It's ok but nothing more. Mosport is and always has been amazing.

I might be following this season a bit closer.

If there is any race on the calendar you would go to, which one would it be?
I'd like to go, but I'm a bit afraid of the people in the US honestly :blush:

LOL most Americans aren't that bad from what I can tell. From what I have read there are a lot of drunk rednecks at some of the races.

According to Autosport Travis Pastrana has signed a deal with Roush Fenway Racing to run full-time in the Nationwide series this year. Will be interesting to see how he does. His outings last year were not spectacular, but showed some decent consistency in pack-racing.

How pumped are the drivers for the 2013 season? Well, for one, they won't even wait until Speedweeks to throw down "The Big One"....

RP races are going to be a lot trickier to race on according to the drivers as the bumpers have be be matched pretty much spot on. Could be a fun 500.

I do like those cars. I thought that the 2013 speed week and 500 could be a bit a wreckfest thanks to these new cars, but then again 2012 was and that was with the old "bump friendly" cars.

Thanks for posting the crash DJF. Testing crashes seem silly, but I guess they have to push the boundaries of the new car.
