The 500

[Guest Friz]

I'm betting on my boy Elliot to bring home a trophy for Dodge.

If the Ford guys would quit whining and start driving, they may have a chance as well. Rusty finished in 3rd in the Shootout.

I believe either Dale Earnhardt will win, or one of the DEI cars (Park, Earnhardt Jr., Waltrip).  All of these cars have been fast and looked strong in the 125's.  I couldn't agree more about the Fords, they are plenty strong to win, as are the Pontiacs.  After the 125's I don't think a Dodge can win, they haven't seem to have gotten the handle yet.

I do guarantee a better race then last years snoozer.

[Guest Friz]

How can you say that Dodge doesn't have the handle? Sterling Marlin won the first 125 in the Coors Light/Gannassi Dodge.

[Kansas Kid]

How can I say that you ask?  Well lets see, how many laps did that Dodge lead before the last lap.  How many did it lead under actual racing conditions, and not under last lap restart drag racing conditions.  The answer to both of those is NONE.  Thats why I wasn't impressed with the Dodges.  The only Dodge that looked half way decent was the 22, and that is to be expected.

[Guest Friz]

You only have to lead ONE lap, just make sure it's the last one.

I predict this 500 to be the best in a long time. I predict either a richard childress car, or a DEI car to win.

[Guest Friz]

Good Lord!

The only Dodge man at GMTC and he's rootin' for a Chevy!

Come on, General! Help me win some support for the Mopar Camp.

i agree with General Lee 01

[General Lee 01]

Well, look at Mr. Freaked over rebuilt DODGE talkin' now. ;)

[General Lee 01]

Well, if happy hour's any indication, Mark Martin is on top of the speed chart in final Practice. Don't believe me? Go to nascar.com and click on "Happy Hour Speeds".

[Guest Friz]

Martin did look good in HH. That oughta shut up the Ford guys, huh. Once NASCAR said that there would be no aerodynamic concessions for Ford, they found a little more speed. Isn't that a coincidence...

How about Gordon blowing a motor and scraping the wall?

[General Lee 01]

I didn't see it on TV. I just read the facts on NASCAR.com (I'm not "plugging" it, I'm just stating facts)

[Kansas Kid]

Looks like they just had the big ONE.  I just hope nobody is hurt......

[Zane]

Well, Mike Waltrip won!

I hope Dale Sr is ok! Anyone heard anything??

[antig24]

I hope earnhardt is okay, his condition isn't on nascar.com yet
