Meg, I liked the flowers, too! Especially the gold/yellow one. I would much much rather look at those than the wrecks. I opened one of the wrecks and ignored...

May 4, 2009 at 8:19 PMWhoa, I never thought I would ever hear some one trash Darrel Waltrip. Dang man you got issues. Try to reframe from the DW remarks, I never thought I would have to say that. No wonder you were #2. #1 Agreed Regan needs that for sure.

May 5, 2009 at 9:27 AMDawn, I don't think you will have to worry about Regan making the race. The teams that will miss this race won't have Hendrick power behind them.
Report as AbuseI noticed something about this race: the #78, #25, and #13 teams are all attempting it together. That's three-part time teams. If they weren't here, we'd have 43 cars on the entry list. NASCAR's worried about car counts, so we might see them let the 4-car rule slide if it means still getting to 43 cars a race. They want to see knockout qualifying, not "where do you start?" qualifying. We'll see something that will bring more than 43 cars to each race, and likely we'll see it from teams that are powerhouses, not more start-up teams.
