I want either Tony Stewart or Kevin Harvick. But I will be waiting for someone to turn right as well.

I honestly think Kyle has a good chance as well. And how do you not have Fox?

big bird, you can find it on the web, try justintv.com, they had the nationwide race on there yesterday.

I would like to see the local boys do good this year, go Biffle and Kahne, but I 'm a Roushkateer myself and Edwards was tough last year, looking for more from him this year. Oh, and can't forget the old guy, Mark Martin starting in the front row. Yeah, I have a few drivers I like, lol.

Im at school and for some reason fox disappeared a few weeks ago, so now I can't watch the 500. And it's not going to be on any of the tv's on campus.

I cant stream it either because we have a 4gb download restriction on the internet here. It's like the gestapo here, lol.

Mannn, rain had to ruin everything. I bet you if the race was still green, mark martin and jeff gordon would get to the front easy with fresher tires. a shame to see NASCAR just end the race like that, especially the Great American Race.

Yeah what a bummer of an end to the race....If they started a bit earlier we probably would have gotten to see all 200 laps.

the race overall was good. i was really hoping kyle was going to be there in the end and jeff gordon had no chance this year. the camber was way off on the car could only get about 25 laps on his right front.

someone did turn right and it was dale into vickers and wrecked most of the contenders. it's funny that jason leffler was penalized 5 laps for something very similar, but dale was free and clear. i am a dale fan, but i think he was in the wrong.
