Not a lot of NASCAR on TV this weekend... no practice, no qualifying, just racing.

[TeamBlueOval]

*to the top*

Truck racing tonight at 7:30 on SPEED! :D

[mattemmy99]

MAY Hornday,and Harvick blow up.....LOL

[TeamBlueOval]

...and Kyle Busch and Brad Keselowski. ;):lol:

Some pretty good racing early on, but Kyle Busch is stinking up the show...

[DeeDee]

yep, I have to agree ..... as usual he stunk up the race.

Maybe it's just me but I thought that race was pretty boring! ...top 3 finishers Busch, Harvick and Hornaday make for a boring race IMO :roll:

[mattemmy99]

yeah,I agree the race was boring,and just wish cup regulars would stay out...IF they want to have a team fine,but let another driver,drive the truck...I feel the same in NW as well..

[moenemdown27]

NW qualifying today! :)

[TeamBlueOval]

...and the race this afternoon! :)

[RacingDude]

Kyle Busch wins the Truck race, so that alone makes it a boring race for me. Especially when he stinks it up and hardly anyone else challenges him. :roll:

Hope to see Carl win the NW race later today!

[TeamBlueOval]

Reed Sorenson was fast in both Nationwide practices (5th and 1st), I'd like to see him come away with a good run today. As for the win, Carl, Reed 1-2 (preferably in that order :lol:) would work for me!! :D Hopefully Colin Braun and Ricky Stenhouse will start to put some good races together as well! :)

[TeamBlueOval]

Pretty good race overall today IMO... too bad Harvick won it, though.

Awesome job by Reed Sorenson in 2nd spot! He has 4 races in the 32 car overall, and his worst finish? 7th. That's pretty good!

Results: http://nationwide.nascar.com/nationwide-series/races/2010/results-unofficial/5

[mattemmy99]

It was great to see Reed running up there~ Like I just posted on RFR....and this is MY opinion...and I am not dissing any driver....I just wish Nasacar would cut cup drivers from NW and cup...I am a fan of NW and truck,and I would watch,but like some have said,sadly,others probally wouldn't... Just would be nice to see NW and Truck regulars seen more on tv,as would their sponsors...again,MHO~

[RacingDude]

Yep, Harvick winning that race made it less significant. :-x

I wish Reed would have won, since he's not a full-time Cupper this year.

[DeeDee]

yeah,i agree the race was boring,and just wish cup regulars would stay out...if they want to have a team fine,but let another driver,drive the truck...i feel the same in nw as well..

amen!!!!! :D

[moenemdown27]

Not a bad race at all, much better than the Truck race. Menard is 6th in points now. :D

[roosterrage]

I wish they could've funded Reed for the whole year. A whole bunch of wins though would be nice.
