    Why did NASCAR start doing road courses in the first place?

    They need more road races!

    At least 1 more earlier in the season, if not 1 in the chase too.

    Love the Nationwide road races too. Montreal has been one of the most interesting races of the year almost every year it's been run.

    You guys serious? This is my favorite Nascar weekend of the year. I absolutely love the road courses, and I think that there should be 4 of them on the schedule. At least 3.

    You guys really would rather watch another Michigan/California than some road course racing? Hell, my non-nascar fans will come over to watch the Infineon/Watkins races because they're usually that good.

    I live in Wisconsin --- so I'm so pumped that they added Road America. Just picked up my tickets yesterday. There were so many people there last year -- It had to be over 60k. Which is nuts for a Busch race.

    Last year Edwards took it. Villeneuve looked like he was in with a big chance but kept having issues.

    A hot Aussie driver named Owen Kelly came 4th or 5th on debut. Really really sad to see he is not on the start list again this year. (he'll be practicing Ambrose's car for him in Montreal)

    Road America is the 'worst' of the road courses they run on though imho. Mainly because the other 3 are so damn awesome.

    Road America is a phenomenal place to watch a race. I absolutely love the track. You really think Watkins/Montreal are better tracks? I'm biased though as I'm in Wisconsin and try to get there a few weekends every summer. Most fun weekends of my life have happened there.

    Montreal would may be a better track --- but certainly not for stock cars. It's too narrow, and nobody can get around each other without spinning.

    Anyway, you know who's going to win this race? Andrew Ranger.

    See, I just love it. I look down the CUP entry list, and I see 10 guys I think are legitimate shots to win this race. That, and at least 20 are threats for a top 5.

    Anybody remember Gordon on a mission to wreck half the field here last year?

    Damn, it was posted while I was offline and now all the others have the tiebreak.


    The bump didn't help matters. Keep my entry fee for next week. I have no chance in the season-long thing and I wish I didn't have to pay for it each time.
