    Auughh, I wanted to bet the Gordo top 5 yesterday, but no balls so bet the Gordo top 10 finish at -170.

    I am trying to casually walk from my office to the lobby TV (which I strategically put on ESPN instead of CNN this morning) to watch the GD race, and i've already been back and forth like 20 times, luckily the boss isn't here!!

    I had small money on Kenseth and Truex, Jr also - race has been all gordon thus far though.

    Good finish... but Tony Stewart's miracle last lap or two broke my heart.

    Donated platelets today, so watched almost the whole thing. Brutal race for me.

    Stewart finishes really high by sneaking up 5 spots at the end. Jr. was terrible. JJ ruins my tiebreaker by coming from a lap down to finish second.

    Anyone know who the hot chick in the Sprint jersey was? Smiling for most of the Gordon interview.

    ESPN was all Gordon after the race. Tons of stuff about him, a long interview. Then they go to Sportscenter, and what happens? Two minutes in they show a replay of the long interview. Anyone hoping for a respite was out of luck. Not long after, they showed the Gordon press conference.

    I got decidedly sick of Gordon but with neither arm available, I couldn't do anything about it.

    Weird note from the race:

    when the leaders pitted, Skinner was the leader. Like 20 minutes later, they showed Skinner as being two laps down.

    Jeff Gordon is now 3rd on the all time winners list. Give the man a hand.

    "Miss Sprint Cup"... there are 3 of them I think. Personally I think they look like brainless hyenas the way they get into the back of tv shots with that constant cheesy smile.

    One got sacked a couple of months back when an old college boyfriend splashed nude pics of her around the web... Now that one was really cute! (and pretty smart too from interviews when it happened)

    Start n Park blog is the place to find out what happened at rear of the field

    But they don't mention anything major dropping him. Are you sure he was actually leading and not in front but a lap down at the time?

    Mike Skinner finished 27th out there after taking over for Dave Blaney, who developed kidney stones and wanted out of Atlanta ASAP. I was really shocked that Skinner didn’t pull into the pits on lap 15 and start undoing his buckles. And further shock was he was only two laps off the pace, at least that proves that these start and park drivers can do it if given the chance out there.

    Big congrats Hawk


    And nice one Gordo... although he is still tied with Allison really, no matter what NASCAR says.

    he was actually leading. For a good 5 minutes or so, after Gordon and JJ pitted.
