I think we're all good for both practices as the Nationwide cars are qualifying. Radar is all but clear for the track as that T storm completetly dissipated.

Car was hanndling good (as stated here earlier), so if they found the misfire should be some good practice times!

I'm not a meteorologist, but I think the weather radar looks fine for this evening. Maybe a shower or two but by no means a washout.

Maybe you guys need a refresher course...

It would be nice if Robby started sharing info with the go or go home teams. We all know Robby could out run them in thare own car so it would only help.
