Nascar - STP 500 At the Paperclip

[GA_Boater]

Cup race #6 at Martinsville. Two drag strips with a corner at each end, commonly called The Paperclip.

Five races with five winners so far this year. Will we have the sixth different winner or the first double of the 2014 season? Time will tell.

Hamlin has been cleared to race after missing last weeks race due to a sinus infection affecting his vision or a piece of metal in his eye. Is Denny Hamlin a secret Starmada member rehabbing a tin boat during his time off the track? Denny - let us know if you're here. And eye protection man, wear eye protection!

Tune up your fantasy roster and Let's Go Racin'

I thought this was interesting:
2014 - NASCAR Sprint Cup NASCAR Standings - ESPN

Harvick is in 5th place because of the 5 winners so far, he has accumulated the least amount of points. If we were still under last years point system(ya, I know we're not), Harvick would be in 26th place even with that win..... Just an observation.....

There will be plenty of criticism just before, during and after the Chase. I won't complain. Yeah, right.

Musky, he would be in 25th place, get it right. :facepalm: And Smoke would still be out ... I am thinking a lot of risks the farther the season goes, to log those precious wins.

Re: Nascar - STP 500 At the Paperclip

What if we have 26 winners during the Race To The Chase? :lol: It could happen the way the first five races have gone.

Probably better racing anyway.

We may also see the new Air Titan 2.0 this weekend with the rain chances tomorrow. Looks like an out of control octopus falling out of a Tundra. :lol:

Re: Nascar - STP 500 At the Paperclip

Both Cup practices dropped along with truck Q-ing. Race is delayed til 3:30 listening to MRN. Maybe.

The rain is supposed to finish over night and turn windy with 20+ winds.

Re: Nascar - STP 500 At the Paperclip

According to the radar, there's still green over the track...... And there's more rain building in the southwest...

 

[GA_Boater]

Re: Nascar - STP 500 At the Paperclip

Today might be a wash. Unless the new Titan is really, really good.

 

[GA_Boater]

Re: Nascar - STP 500 At the Paperclip

Listening on MRN - The track is covered up. With Titans and jet dryers.

Further update at 4:00.

Re: Nascar - STP 500 At the Paperclip

Yeah, they're staggered like snowplows. They might as well get off the track since there is a bunch of rain close by that's going to hit the track..... Wish it was raining here. We are at about 40(our average for this time of year. It's a shock to our system!) and sunny....

A visual except going the other way......

Sunny, yes, warming up the rod, no. We're still buried in snow with more to come Monday, maybe a foot...... Just got a call to plow out a drive....:facepalm:
