Fontana Speedway

This truly has to be the most boring track on the circuit.I'll be watching of course but also tying leaders.But you never know,it could be good.

Did you see the lick Lefler took hitting that wall? Rear end of the car lifted clear off the track...

Only good thing about Fontucky Speedway in California is, not a bad seat in the house....seen many a NASCAR,CART, and AMA Superbike race there.

next best thing to fishing is buying new gear

This part of the season is a snore. I saw bits and pieces but it looked like a borring race. I'll start really watching in 3 weeks. Vegas has been about as interesting as the off week the last couple years.

That was probably the best Fontana race I've seen.Lotsa action.Some crazy pit stops.Better than usual for sure.

Vegas with the new surface and much increased banking is going to be superfast.Finally looking forward to a Vegas race.

you should watch vegas luds. they repaved the track and increased the banking. it could be a total disaster, but you never know. you could also watch mark announce he's going full time after another top 5 finish.

I'm of the belief Mark should go full time one more time.

My an entire life has been consumed by two things:racing and fishing.I've watched my guy do it 4 times already and before him to see a young guy named Davey Allison take Dale Sr. and DW and the rest of the boys to task.

One more time Mark.

two good races don't make him a championship favorite and I think he's smart enough to know that. Ginn/MB2 has always had good cars at the plate races and down force tracks, lets see how they handle the COT and rode courses.
