    DUDE That's awesome! I didn't know it was all access. I thought it was just sitting in the stands & watching.

    Garage entry was free if you have tickets to 2016 AMS. Logano was real nice , but he's got a serial killer smile. Stenhouse seemed like a prick honestly...

    They didn't display times, but I overheard Kurt saying drag will be an issue.

    Crap. That was the problem at the Brickyard. We don't need that at the 1.5 mile tracks.

    Here's a recent interview with Rick Mears. He's talking about Indycar but every point he makes is applicable to NASCAR, especially in regards to reducing downforce and making the guys drive the turns:

    Makes sense. Makes their jobs easier. Low downforce separates the men from the boys. Sure,they can all rip a straight line but somebody has to lift at the turn or sling it in there and pray it sticks. If it doesn't, they should be skilled enough to catch it and keep it out of the wall. Sure, corner speeds will be lower, but it'll make for better races.

    He was working hard and on his game big time. I think he ran the most laps. He was mostly business all day

    Meet, not really. Got an autograph though. He was pretty grumpy after that last practice. My wife got an autograph from Edwards and said he was super polite and nice.
