Nor me... should make things interesting in August! Can't wait for that

(sorry, Knowlesy!)

Knowlesy · 25 Mar 2007, 19:55 (Ref:1876090)

They better not ruin Bristol.

Before the race I didn't know anything of any changes, then the commentators start banging on about them knocking the place to bits!

Knowlesy · 25 Mar 2007, 20:00 (Ref:1876094)

Woohoo, caught up!

Just waiting for the restart now.

**Craig** · 25 Mar 2007, 20:02 (Ref:1876095)

Well done! What do you think to it so far? Not yet a classic, is it, I'm sure it'll liven up though

Knowlesy · 25 Mar 2007, 20:04 (Ref:1876100)

I've quite enjoyed it, but it is Bristol. I enjoy it by default.

I think it should roar into life pretty sharpish. A slow burner like Atlanta perhaps.

Still not sure of this boxy thing they are running.

rustyfan · 25 Mar 2007, 20:06 (Ref:1876103)

Loose wheel for Sadler. Tough break for him.

**Craig** · 25 Mar 2007, 20:07 (Ref:1876104)

Oooh... pizza mmm

rustyfan · 25 Mar 2007, 20:07 (Ref:1876105)

As the commentary team mentioned earlier there have been quite a few races at Bristol in the past few years that have had a rather long green flag stretch around the middle of the race.

And yes, it will most likely heat up quiet a bit as they inch closer to the finish

**Craig** · 25 Mar 2007, 20:08 (Ref:1876106)

#1 in with a knackered wheel and busted splitter... will that cause agro later in the race?

rustyfan · 25 Mar 2007, 20:10 (Ref:1876108)

Shouldn't make much of a difference at a short track such as Bristol. Had it been a faster, more aero-dependent track they probably would have had to get it fixed though.

rustyfan · 25 Mar 2007, 20:16 (Ref:1876112)

Caution out, Kahne spinning.

I wonder if Kahne humped the wife of a voodoo witch doctor or something, because he's cursed this year.

Matt · 25 Mar 2007, 20:16 (Ref:1876113)

Khane is wrecked.

But still, no wings have fallen off.

rustyfan · 25 Mar 2007, 20:19 (Ref:1876114)

They'll slap some 200 mph tape on that rear end and it'll be as good as new.

Knowlesy · 25 Mar 2007, 20:20 (Ref:1876115)

Interesting that they seem to think the splitters are cutting tyres.

Interesting that NASCAR did not see that one coming.

Knowlesy · 25 Mar 2007, 20:22 (Ref:1876116)

Restart!

Stewart no fuel pressure.

**Craig** · 25 Mar 2007, 20:23 (Ref:1876117)

Oh NO! Smoke in the pits

rustyfan · 25 Mar 2007, 20:24 (Ref:1876118)

Now that is some bad luck.

EDIT - Oh well, guess it might be a somewhat closer race now that the dominant driver is out of contention.

rustyfan · 25 Mar 2007, 20:25 (Ref:1876119)

Go Hamlin!

rustyfan · 25 Mar 2007, 20:29 (Ref:1876123)

Newman was pretty lucky he wasn't collected by the cars coming from behind there.

Knowlesy · 25 Mar 2007, 20:30 (Ref:1876126)

Shame about the car in front though.

rustyfan · 25 Mar 2007, 20:33 (Ref:1876127)

At least the splitter didn't come off (something I'm rather impressed about, seeing as it was quite a hit)

**Craig** · 25 Mar 2007, 20:35 (Ref:1876130)

Yay! He's got a banana

Knowlesy · 25 Mar 2007, 20:36 (Ref:1876131)

A banana on ice!

rustyfan · 25 Mar 2007, 20:41 (Ref:1876134)

**Craig** · 25 Mar 2007, 20:41 (Ref:1876135)

Gotta love those crazy yanks!

Actually, I'm quite annoyed at missing out on all the pre-race build-up today!! I love all that!
