Must be a philosophy they have, but come on, adapt to what's happening once in a while.<br />Thanks!<br /><br />Gene - The safety improvements were much needed so overall it was a good move. However, now the Glen is a lot like Pocono, Michigan and several of the tracks on this part of the schedule. Big and wide where they get strung out for a large portion of the race.<br />Thanks!<br /><br />Dwindy1 - That would be the most exciting race on the schedule, no doubt lol. Looks like probably Bud will go to Harvick. Love the idea of Foster's to the #9 with Ambrose!<br />Thanks!<br /><br />tezgm99 - Those eight laps were as good as it gets with two road race professionals. Maybe if Ambrose had not charged so hard at that time there may have been a similar battle at the end. Montoya just had an awfully good car this week.<br />Thanks!<br /><br />jon_464 - I tend to agree, I like the technical aspects of Infineon and it seems like that race is more of a wildcard than the Glen. And how about that math? Impressive!<br />Thanks!jmayer1843https://www.blogger.com/profile/03979602470480690327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-59772355794148279802010-08-10T21:10:40.209-05:002010-08-10T21:10:40.209-05:00The Glen doesn't hold a candle to Infineon.

As far as race coverage, to put it bluntly, ESPN SUCKS! <br /><br />Re Michigan: as much as I don't want to see it happen, I think it's Carl Edwards' time to win. The track is well suited for him. And by my elementary calculations, Kevin Harvick has to finish 21st or better to clinch a Chase spot.jon_464https://www.blogger.com/profile/11134872784295839356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-65289172182624644752010-08-10T16:08:22.669-05:002010-08-10T16:08:22.669-05:00The battle between Juan and Marcos was one of the ...The battle between Juan and Marcos was one of the best duels seen this season...pity it couldn't last the whole race, ahh well.<br /><br />I think I'm in the minority for this; didn't like all the extra paving they did.

Have two mile long straightaways side by side with a flat hairpin turn and grandstands on both sides! Now we're talkin'! LOL<br /><br />BTW, you see where Kasey Kahne may sign with Red Bull for a season? Maybe Marcos will lite in the number 9 with RPM! I think Budweiser's going a different direction too. King Richard should get on the phone to Foster's Beer a natural for Ambrose!<br /><br />On to Michigan where Cousin Carl wins?Dwindy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02915617340823975656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-41974914310732739952010-08-10T14:19:56.844-05:002010-08-10T14:19:56.844-05:00Seems like all the new asphalt 'run off' a...Seems like all the new asphalt 'run off' areas (instead of gravel traps) have prevented a bunch of caution laps at the Glen now.Gene Haddockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03677117602150714769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-11901494899311973632010-08-10T10:58:32.259-05:002010-08-10T10:58:32.259-05:00I've got a beef with the coverage - Marcos and...I've got a beef with the coverage - Marcos and Juan were not the only two up front all day. Kurt was never lower than 3rd and never got any love from the announcers - ah hello??<br /><br />2 stars for the racing action but 5 stars for the quick race! Although if I were there I'd want it to last a bit longer...klvalushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013035051062088498noreply@blogger.com
