I was stoked I made the trip down this time, hope to do it again :)<br /><br />I look forward to yours, Jon.

I missed the race but from what I hear Gordon was taking out the contenders that could win so JJ could have a free ride to the winners circle.<br /><br />I hope Marcos and Kurt remembers this in the next race.

Jimmy Who's crew chief Chad said on NASCAR Now yesterday that Marcos had the engine cut off as he passed the #48 pits so that should have been more then enough time to restart the engine b4 hitting the hill... the real question is why did Kerr tell MA to conserve fuel... I'm still not over it. Aussie media coverage has absolutely caned MA as well which pisses me off even more. Anyhoo... great blog mate!Indira Newellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13047051755528945587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783095202428460897.post-51706677664005320642010-06-22T09:38:55.885-07:002010-06-22T09:38:55.885-07:00Cheers, Total.

From what I heard, the race was pretty decent to watch on TV so I was happy about that for you guys since that was my worry going into the weekend :)<br /><br />And yes, going down the front curveaway (well, it certainly isn't straight, lol) isn't the place to be saving fuel. He should have done it going down the hill through the esses towards the hairpin...hindsight and all that I guess.tezgm99https://www.blogger.com/profile/17930207231098783208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783095202428460897.post-33368120656295908302010-06-22T09:33:24.358-07:002010-06-22T09:33:24.358-07:00I was starting to get prepared for the dash over t...I was starting to get prepared for the dash over to victory circle, Dwindy! And yeah, was cool to see Mikey...I think he spotted me first with my Marcos cap, lol<br /><br />Ta, Amanda. Vader was getting booed and given thumbs down every time he crossed the line in those last few laps, it was rather amusing now I think about it...I guess everyone wanted to see someone new win.<br /><br />Funny you should say that, Kristen....when I first met the girlfriend, that was her thoughts too! And go ahead with the pikkie, I took 2 so I'll send them both along with the Jr ones (any point sending the shots of Kurt since you were right there most of the weekend?).tezgm99https://www.blogger.com/profile/17930207231098783208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783095202428460897.post-50189733312183827932010-06-22T09:31:26.139-07:002010-06-22T09:31:26.139-07:00Great article, Tez.

Hell, I'm not anywhere as near vested as you are and I felt terrible too!<br /><br />Marcos scored a lot of points with the fans. Watkins Glen will be his, mark my words!<br /><br />It's fitting that your weekend ended seeing Waltrip, don't you think?<br /><br />Thanks for the insights...Dwindy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02915617340823975656noreply@blogger.com
