A road course?
You mean with more than 2 corners and skill involved?

You left out 6 roundies (roundys?) they're long races.
See, that's why I never win shit.
If there were no skill involved then I'm sure Ambrose would not be taking so long to clean up the series?
Just saw the CRASH! In the middle- good
He is taking his time about it.Originally Posted by Kiwi

No matter, I have faith and the #47 hat along with the #47 t- shirt. I've done all I can for him, short of driving the car.
Keep the faith. If anyone can do it Ambrose can.
If by "road course" you mean pavement, then I'll somewhat agree. In actuallity, it's one of the shortest "short tracks" in the series. Pack 43 cars into this and run them at 150 MPH + and you'll definately see some crashes.

Lol.
Number of corners is generally how the rest of the world measures their tracks dude.
Take a look at this and you'll see that only 4 tracks in the Nascar series are road courses. We measure our tracks by the number of miles in length. Just FYI dude.

you guys are right- I'm screwed up. I thought Bristol had turns ( left and right) must have been spending too much time in the PSB babes section, got curves on the brain. as punishment I'm going roundy the house 200 times on my unicycle.
Any way the race starts at 1 pm my time - about 15 mind from now.
FWIW the comentators all agree, Ambrose has a real good chance of winning today. I would prefer to see Jeff Gordon win though.
I googled the track, it's a bitty thing- should go roundy, crash, roundy, crash, roundy, crash-and so on.
I bet it's a good one to watch from the stands.
My wife has montoya (and it takes weeks to get rid of) so bragging rights and booze are on the line here.
The only track smaller is Martinsville. Much fun to watch them bump and grind. Your wife may be able to take a shot or two to help with that. I suggest Jack Daniels.
found it on the radio. AM 770 from up in Florida. Ambrose was in 8th around lap 200. Now I think he's down around 20.
Kyle bush hit the wall.
Ambrose in 14th. He got two pit road penalties setting him back. The announcers say Ambrose is running good. He's up to 11th now hauling ass. Announcers say he's the fastest car out there.
He's passed the field like twice.
Might be good at the end
Each of those pit violations made Ambrose start at the back. So he has passed everyone except a few in the front twice to get to 14. The guy is fast enough- just needs racers luck.
Caution now lots of shuffling.
Gone Green- Ambrose got wrecked by montoya. M martin started the chain reaction.
Martin, biffle, mc murry, kensith- the usual suspects up front
Lap 346. Ambrose has a lot of damage. Montoya too.
