Ron Fellows FTW

 

I think there are some legitimate surprises in the top ten...Casey on the pole? Ambrose and Labonte?

 

will be exciting to the road course guys charge up into the field. this is a very good race. i am looking forward to it.

 

+1, hoping Ron and #10 come up. Seems Penske, Petty and Evernham aren't sharing with Chip, Dario's nowhere this year.
Good to see Oz and the Woodses get into the top 10.

 

Hard for a large car to pass on this track, I think the two Gordon's will do well since they both qualified in the top 10.

 

When does the race start and on what channel? I want to see JPM work his way up the field and the stock cars going around a road course is always interesting/fun to watch.

 

3:30 PM Eastern (now) on TNT.

 

about to start - wow, what a crowd - beautiful day in northern CA. I'm pulling for JPM to repeat the win.

What a really cool ad for the race with the "Born To Be Wild" music - only in CA.

 

They don't have JPM listed as a "road course specialist" on their poll, I find that a bit off.

 

He's full time in Nascar. They mean the guys that only run the road courses
