Good question. Radar shows some way to the north and a 30% chance. I don't think the wipers will get turned on today. :mad:

Kelly is making up ground, but maybe not enough laps left.

The guy is dang good. I'm pulling for Almendinger as well. Nice payback to Billy Johnson.

Good win Dinger. Kelly had a good 4th place finish. Musky - Are you awake?

Papis smacked Johnson as he walked passed,

Yeah, but it was just a light slap on the side of the helmet, seen harder hits than that from crew chiefs slapping the driver after a great win.

Very happy for the 'dinger, and I think Kelly showed he can wheel a car. I can't believe they ran him out of fuel. Mistakes happen, but that was certainly a big one. All good though.

I thought the Papis post-race interview was funny. He vented a little, took a deep breath, switched right over to apology mode about the slap and into the sponsor spiel and sort of went back to ticked off and making a fist as he walked away. Danica has heaved helmets harder that Max slapped Johnson.

Kelly had a shot until running out of gas. He was running hard.

Aren't we a fickle bunch? Whoever causes the Twerp grief is our new favorite driver for a little while. :lol:

Re: Road America - Nationwide/Sonoma - Cup

Danica having a rough to e on the road. Wife said,to me earlier in the race, "since Nascar's roots are in outrunning the law, why don't they have more road races? The need to add a little dirt, maybe a jump and a stream to go through, and more places to pass."

interesting perspective from a casual fan.
