[kat2220]

Tony and Ward bring out the 1st full course caution, but they should be OK to continue forward.

[kat2220]

Hi Andrew!!!

[66mustang]

If Kenseth and whoever had to start at the rear of the field, then why were there other cars behind them? Did the drivers just let them go ahead because they know he was pass them anyways or what?

Murphy's Laws

Nothing is as easy as it looks.
Everything takes longer than you think.
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong. Corollary: If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then.
If anything simply cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
Mother nature is a *****.
It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
Every solution breeds new problems.
Murphy's Law of Research
Enough research will tend to support your theory.
Murphy's Law of Copiers
The legibility of a copy is inversely proportional to its importance.
Murphy's Law of the Open Road:
When there is a very long road upon which there is a one-way bridge placed at random, and there are only two cars on that road, it follows that: (1) the two cars are going in opposite directions, and (2) they will always meet at the bridge.
Murphy's Law of Thermodynamics
Things get worse under pressure.
The Murphy Philosophy
Smile . . . tomorrow will be worse.
Quantization Revision of Murphy's Laws
Everything goes wrong all at once.
Murphy's Constant
Matter will be damaged in direct proportion to its value

The Yankee Guide to the South
21. You can ask a Southerner for directions, but unless you already know the positions of key hills, trees and rocks, you're better off trying to find it yourself.

All ya need to know is where "The Big Chicken" is. :lol:

The exit of turn 4 appears to be right on top of that rumble strip.

I really enjoyed it. :D Pure domination form the #24 team in setting a new Infineon Raceway record with 92 laps led and putting to rest any talk of any other driver in this Series being the road course king,there is only one and that's Jeff Gordon with 8 road course victories now,the closest rivals are tied with 6 wins apiece. :D
