I only caught the last few laps, right before and after the 5 laps left stop and restart. Very boring ending, no one was even near him.[sm=smiley12.gif]

I skipped the Indy 500 when it was 2.5 hours late starting... LOL! Went out and helped put new plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor on the Blue Ram... anywho... I did watch the Coca-Cola 600 beginning to end... YAWN... I mean really... the first caution was about 165 laps in!!

Not that I'm knocking the guy, but Jimmy's car was SO much better then everyone else's... I'll be surprised if it completely passes inspection... another reason why I think that is why didn't the #48 team share SOME of the knowledge with the #24... Jeff Gordon owns half of the #48... and he finished 30th!! I find that a tad fishy...

But horrible boring race day...

GO PISTONS!!

I played XBOX all day. The races are too long to watch in its entirety.

Johnsons car could not have been legal, how could he have been going like he had a rocket up his *** all day?
Im thinking Traction Control.
But NASCAR will close their eyes if they find anything illegal in Jimmies car and sweep it under the rug, because a young gun in the official car of NASCAR wins another one and they are happy.
Its boring to see the same drivers and cars win every weekend.
I'd love to see Dodge get a string of victorys, but then they'd get a bunch of rule changes to slow them down again.

Thought the last half of the race was pretty exciting. Was at a Memorial Day parade for the Indy...but happy to see an American won!

Johnson's car was the best one on the track-The Dodge Boys just weren't up for the challenge the last 100 miles.
