Q-ing underway and John Paul is on the provisional pole with about 13 drivers left.

Weather looks good for Sunday; Partly Cloudy with Temps in the high 70s. extremely jealous of that.

Here is hoping its one angry Taswegian with the chequered flag in clear view !

JPM on the front again, he gave it a good run last year hopefully we will see him break through for his 1st oval win (In NASCAR i know..) and get back on track for the chase.

Good starting spot for Ambrose aswell which is great with it being on an Oval.

[fieldodreams79]

48 wins again.

It sounds like Montoya and Gordon hit each other a few times. A waste for Montoya in the end.

[Steevp]

I think Montoya erased his chances for the chase there, should have settled for a top 10..

waste or disgrace?

[Adam43]

I haven't seen it, but probably a disgrace.

[FPV8U]

JPM all but certain to miss the chase, which is a double sided coin being disapointing in itself but making the chance of an oval win higher with a nothing to lose attitude, not that he holds back often.

Ambrose/JTG a solid 13th, not mind blowing but good to see no less.

[gomick]

Ambrose still only 27th in points - gotta string together some top 15's!

Dale Jnr right in chase contention now too

[JHamilton]

John Paul had an interesting race for sure.

That race is the perfect length. Make them all 300 miles!

Sunday's race was indeed the perfect length. it did go by quickly, but once again it was sports overload on Sunday and I missed most of it due to the WC and the tape delay of the Euro GP.

and make them all but the "big races" , 300 or 302.53434 or whatever.. leave the big ones as the "endurance" events.
