Nascar Racing Online

Hey everyone, sorry I didn’t get any open race threads up yesterday I was called away suddenly and wasn’t near a computer all day and wouldn’t you know it there was some good action at the track yesterday:

• Kyle Busch wins his 11th Nationwide race this year, that is is some feat for sure. 
• Austin Dillion wins another in somewhat dominating fashion proving, at least to me, that this cat isn’t in the seat of the #3 truck just because he is the grandson of the truck owner but because he can drive.
• Denny Hamlin and Kevin Harvick get into it on the track and in the garage area during practice.  Was it payback on Harvick’s part for ‘cheating’ comments made Friday by Hamlin essentially labeling RCR as a bunch of cheaters after the #33 was found to be outside of NASCAR mandated measurements last week?  Don’t know for sure but it certainly wasn’t denied by anyone at RCR and also prompted Hamlin to Tweet an apology to RCR fans – see prvious post.

All this sure makes good publicity for NASCAR and today’s race - speaking of which you’ll find the line-up after the jump, see you there.
