    You may disagree, but I think it's the best race she's ran to date, smart moves when she needed to, fast car, and didn't make mistakes on pit road.

    I'd have to agree with you on that Brandon but pull kahne and he had a hell of race last night well most of the Hendrick boys did but I knew what was going to happen to Johnson. Haha. How about that last wreck?

    Actually I think I agree with you in a way. Overall it was her best driving to date, and he best finish so far. It's hard to quantify it all together. She did really well overall at Daytona where she finished 8th, but driving at Daytona and Talladega are different than driving at the intermediate tracks. He skills are improving for sure. I hope she gets voted in for next week. I'd like to see how she does again with a small group of the top drivers.

    So Richmond is opening it's track to let anyone with $20 drive their vehicle 5 laps around the track throughout this summer. Catch?

    Speed limit 55 mph and gotta stay behind a pace car.

    Well damn what's the point in that mess I'd like to take my fiancés lexus down there and see what it could do because it handles like a dream on all the back roads I drive on.

    We had something similar to that at Daytona many years back when we had a Truxpo show. We were allowed to do a parade lap in all our trucks. Only catch was that we had to stay on the apron, and follow a pace car doing 55. They told us it was for insurance purposes.

    Not surprising that it's for insurance purposes. Same reason they get tuned down at tracks when they start breaking 200mph.

    Yep! I understand why they do it, just wish there was like a waiver/training course and then let you rip 5 laps

    Never seen the Gordon experience one, they allow passing, that's cool. It's not $20 and you can't drive your own vehicle though!

    Lol that's what I'm saying. Even if they did a training class, the liability would be your vehicle and tech inspection. Even a motorcycle track day has a pretty extensive tech inspection.

    I think probably Harvick he was on a tear last weekend but keselowski might have a good run.

    No lie. Where did he come from? I mean really might as well have let Danica race anyway.

    I think it was one of those twitter/internet things that encouraged people to vote for him. Nascar loved it cause he is in the millennial generation.

    Doge coin figured out a way on reddit to get all their customers, employees, and fans to vote multiple times in a short amount of time, cheating the system so to speak. What did NASCAR think was gonna happen though really? You should be allowed to vote ONCE. Having a system setup the way it is currently where company's like dogecoin can defeat it takes the fan vote right out the window.

    Who do you think would bring in more money, Danica or Josh Wise? Let's face it, if Josh's sponsor didn't cheat the system Danica would've been in the all star race.

    And holy moly if dale jr was in the showdown and lost to Josh wise in the "fan vote", that would be the biggest news story ever. Let's just see if nascar changes it next year where you can only vote once.
