Good for Mark. Jimmie is fifth. Did notice these lineups are almost the same every week. (other than front row Joe carcking the top ten). The same guys are in the top ten every week. But they haven't been finishing up there.
I like Atlanta. Really fast race, fun to watch. I hope the weather is good in Georgia this weekend. I went to Atlanta in 2002 to watch a race. Good time.

I think it's either going to be the 18 or the 24 today. They both looked good in practive and had one of the best averages.

Yep, Busch had a serious car today. Makes you wonder if the Penske group finally figured out the COT. That is what Kurt keeps saying. Might be true, doesn't look like the same guy from the last two years.
Not a bad race, a little exciting at the end.
I feel bad for Scott Speed. I was rooting for the kid to crack the top 35. Aint gonna happen now. And oh yeah, Sam Hornish needs to hang it up. He has had plenty of time in Nascar, he is sucking!

So far this is shaping up to be a very interesting season. Lots of different names at the top.
Watch out for Clint Bowyer he has been near the front at the end of the races this year. Very quietly he makes his move and puts himself in position to contend.
Love how the 24 has brought good cars to every race. Can't wait for Bristol and Martinsville where he always has good cars. I say he wins one of those two or maybe both. He might even get his first Texas win soon.
I am very surprised at how the 48, the 88, and the 5 have struggled.
I hope somebody actually runs over Digger. That little cartoon is the worst thing that the Fox telecast has right now. I don't know about you guys, but to me that is an insult to the longtime Nascar fans. I actually did not mind the boogity boogity, or the Hollywood Hotel, or any of the other things the Fox broadcast has. I though that it was a better broadcast than the other networks. But right now, I can't wait until the other networks take over and I don't have to see that little rat on the screen.

I was wondering if it was me. I can't stand digger. it is stupid and a waste of time. I think they are trying to attract little kids. they are pushing that stupid mole all the time like we actually care about it.

Ya if I ever see a person wearing one of those Digger t-shirts I may have to kick their ass. That stuff is getting so old and DW doesn't make it any better.

The HMS cars tend to struggle at the beginning, so this is not new. JJ and JR usually run the same setup, however Knaus seems to have a better handle with the 48 than Eury does with the 88. This was evident last year. But I also will add that the normal HMS engineer, Darian Grubb, is with Stewart-Haas racing now.
Yeah, the Digger thing is annoying but mostly the timing of the animation.

The #2 car finally seems to have its act together. I was rooting for either Bush or Gordon to win that because I really didn't want to see Edwards get away with only taking 2 tires and holding on for 2 laps. Bush was clearly the class of the field and that would have sucked.
What do you think about AJ Allmendinger? He's a Los Gatos product. He has a couple top 10's this year.

IMO AJ Allmendinger has done a great job so far. i think one day Red Bull will regret letting him go.

He just needs to get some sponsorship for the rest of the season. He's definitely outperformed Reed Sorenson so far but I think he only has sponsorship for 4 more races.

Reed Sorenson sucks! hopefully Allmendinger can find sponsorship for the rest of the year.

I agree on Sorenson I think Ganassi pushed for him to come into Cup way too soon and it may have ruined him. He needs to get a good ride in Nationwide and get his confidence back up I think.
