But, there have been times in the past where there have certainly been better battles than what we saw Sunday.<br />Thanks!jmayer1843https://www.blogger.com/profile/03979602470480690327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-250051116192868882011-07-18T23:04:15.614-05:002011-07-18T23:04:15.614-05:00Looks like I didn't miss a whole lot by going ...Looks like I didn't miss a whole lot by going to the slo-pitch finals instead last weekend ;)<br /><br />Side-by-side racing at Loudon in the past? I've only ever seen one decent race there and that was last year in the Chase...the rest (Indycar included since the mid 90's) that I've watched have all been snoozers, loltezgm99https://www.blogger.com/profile/17930207231098783208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-2493452437642148032011-07-18T19:22:54.878-05:002011-07-18T19:22:54.878-05:00CR_Racing - It was a great win for Newman.

Now Dale Jr. is another story.<br />Thanks!<br /><br />klvalus - I sure hope so. It's still going to be a few weeks before we get back to a track that usually has pretty good racing.<br />Thanks!<br /><br />Dwindy1 - We do have 1 Star races occasionally. They have to be really bad. Click on "2 Star Rating" for the rating system page.<br />I think money and ESPN have more to do with the Indy hype than Indycar. NASCAR is still miles ahead of that series.<br />Thanks!<br /><br />Gene - TNT does get some of the most boring races of the year. Half of them end with fuel mileage (or rain in past years) finishes.<br />Thanks!jmayer1843https://www.blogger.com/profile/03979602470480690327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-57513861931107080752011-07-18T17:40:50.890-05:002011-07-18T17:40:50.890-05:00Two stars is being very generous.

Sacrilege! <br /><br />The least they could do is widen the track out and put 28 degree banking in the turns... That would help!<br /><br />It's been quite awhile since the first and second qualifiers finished in that order and I think that says volumes about the quality of racing...<br /><br />So now we head off to another basically flat track with two long and two short straightaways... And oh yes... Mustn't forget the holy grail strip of bricks... I still say it looks like NASCAR is bowing to IndyCar when they make such a big deal out of Indianapolis... NASCAR doesn't need to take a back seat to any other form of auto racing!<br /><br />Thanks jmayer!Dwindy1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02915617340823975656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-29676717709654544262011-07-18T10:41:02.833-05:002011-07-18T10:41:02.833-05:002 stars at best - that was another snoozer and Ind...2 stars at best - that was another snoozer and Indy wont be any better.<br /><br />Racing seemed MUCH better beginning of the year, so I think a lot of it has to do with the tracks of late more than the nose.<br /><br />Enjoy your week off Mayer!klvalushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013035051062088498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324293794163565996.post-42284065575532355252011-07-17T23:03:35.883-05:002011-07-17T23:03:35.883-05:00Got to agree with everything you said.

Lapped cars had no trouble being passed. <br /><br />I've got to add a half star for Ryan Newman. He needed that win as bad as his boss. Guess Tony has another chance at the Brickyard. He might wind up in panic mode if he doesn't get a win soon.CR_Racinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545313970575935549noreply@blogger.com
