Pocono

[Retroram52]

Nothing has changed. Qualifying rained-out in the mountains of eastern PA due to the storm marching north up the coast.Jeem sits on the pole. Maybe now the little spoiled whiner is happy!

Good news! The Petty's announced this week the expansion of their developmental driver program by signing Ryan Truex and Randy LaJoie's kid. Things are continuing to improve at RPM as Aric Almirola remains in the last WC position for the chase.

[Retroram52]

The NNS goes to Iowa every year when cup goes to Pocono.

for how long? They haven't been going there for too many years. I haven't been out of the loop that long.

Wouldn't know where to look. I saw them on one of the speed shows. But to give you an idea, the front straightaway and pit road were covered in water about ankle deep

They've been racing there since around 2009. Added a 2nd race in 2011. Trucks race there twice too. Indycar runs a race there as well

good call on the indy race. Them boys are hauling ass around TMS

 

[Retroram52]

Andretti had the early lead and now is 8th!

 

[NickVT10]

I would watch the most boring NASCAR race over this Indy race any day. I like it because it is racing but there is 0 excitement in this. They are hauling ass no doubt but watching Castroneves pull out to 8-12 second leads over and over again is far from action.

 

[Retroram52]

I am not so sure Nick. Granted this IRl race may be a bit boring but at least is not contrived and choreographed like NASCAR these days!

 

[Retroram52]

Another boring scripted NASCAR "race" at a dried-out Pocono!

 

[Retroram52]

Somebody besides Jimmie Johnson. This plain sucks!!!
