Freaking Nascar ran late so DVR recording ended early, 29 laps to go. Can you say "effing pissed off"? I knew you could

I don't have any option to say "always tape late" like I did with Satellite Now I have to manually try and remember to set the recording to go an extra hour.

Yeah I read that about the yellow finish... the article I read said that they might make some rules changes to avoid that happening in the future. They have a hard enough time getting fans, they need to do all they can to keep them in their seats

Official countdown for me to IRL at the Glen! I'll be there Saturday and Sunday July 5&6

It will be the first race I've been to or watched at WG since I have started doing track days there... I'm SURE I will have ALOT of "line" critiquing to offer the pros

Freaking Marco, I may need to find a new adopted son

God I hope not! Yellow flags on ovals have been around for years, I don't need 'manufactured excitement' to make it a good race. As these 'young guns' learn how to race eachother, these things will slow down. Next time one of them (Marco or Ryan) will lift, problem solved
