Its race day at Texas Motor Speedway

And because the race starts at 1:30pm eastern (10:30am pst) I will be into the beers before noon

I was up at 5 this morning so it feels kinda like noon by then anyways :P

Next week is Phoenix, night race, might have to switch to Rye and Coke

Beer Thirty!

Boogity boggity boogity.

And Jr on the pole.......

I think Jr'* going to take it today, did you see his game face yesterday.....INTENSE

Not sure whats up with Tony, he'* back in 24th and even the pylon placed 20th? its up to Zippy to move him up a few notches in the pits I love this team

I don't think Jr showed his colors in practice. And you won't see it all during the race either until about 20 laps to go if he'* in the top 5, 50 laps to go if he'* running in the top 10.

He has a reputation (like Mark Martin) for 'lurking' and saving his car for the finish, while never letting the competition REALLY know what he'* got. Early in the race, he'll test all the grooves, then move to his favored groove late in the race, or switch to a different groove for a pass if needed. He'* sneaky.

Genetics and several beatings made him a good driver.
