Hopefully the road doesn't fall apart again.

Watched the second race. I thought Mark Reuss crashing the pace car on the parade lap was funny. Bet he is very embarrassed about it. I know I'd be.

The race otherwise seemed to be going Rossi's way but props to Ryan Hunter Reay for the way he managed his race and set up Rossi brilliantly. He completely deserved the win. It was good clean and hard racing.

Mark Reuss LOL...

GM Vice President Mark Reuss might have some explaining to do about why the company car is all banged up.

I always thought he was a big car enthusiast, but I guess even he can't handle the ZR1, or forgot about cold tires.

A black eye for Chevy on the pace car crash. Hunter Reay drove out of his mind yesterday.

Someone commented on jalopnik that Marcus Ericsson hit the pace car.
