Pretty good race today. Glad to see Busch get around Johnson for the win. Really exciting race for sure. I bet Brad was super ticked when he found out Kurt won the race lol

I can live without live coverage of races but you would think they would show the highlights earlier than Tuesday night here!

Some sad news to pass along related to Jimmie Johnson & his family...

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nati...icle-1.1740551

The brother-in-law of champion NASCAR stock car racer Jimmie Johnson died in a freak skydiving accident Sunday after he collided with another jumper in midair and then failed to deploy his parachute during freefall in eastern San Diego County, Calif., officials said.

Jordan Janway, 27, a veteran skydiving instructor and brother of Johnson’s wife, Chandra Janway Johnson, was training other employees of Skydive San Diego at the time and may have been knocked unconscious during a tandem maneuver that went horribly wrong.

Jimmie Johnson’s representatives released a statement on behalf of the six-time NASCAR champion and his stunned family.

“The Johnsons are saddened by the tragic passing of Chandra's brother, Jordan Janway,” a rep for Jimmie Johnson said in a statement shared with the Daily News. “Jordan was an incredible son, brother, uncle and friend and will be dearly missed. Please keep the Janway family in your thoughts and prayers. The family asks for privacy at this time.”

I was going to post some stuff about the race but once i saw this news, it didn't seem like an appropiate time as i felt saddened by the tragedy that has happened to that poor family.

Thoughts & prayers to Jimmie & of course his wife & all her family.

Yeah I'll bet he was, but imo, if he is mad at anyone he should be mad at himself. I personally think that one was Keslowskis fault. First he hit Kane then he turned left into Bush. Would love to have been a fly on the wall when he saw him win.

OMG, that is terrible. I feel really bad for the family. We will pray for them. A very hard couple weeks for Nacar.

Wow prayers for their family. I have never flown, and have no desire to do so, let alone jump out of a plane. At least he died doing what he loved to do

I've had Nascar for breakfast these past couple of days, highlights yesterday and Nascar Now today. It's proving to be good fuel and I work well afterwards!
Must say, I really enjoyed watching Martinsville.

Chase did great!

I was wondering if Harvick was going to complain about these "rich, privileged kids" again.

Yep, good for the kid and I hope he wins more than Harvick this year. I definitely think he's got one coming. Other than Jr. Winning it all, nothing would make me happier than seeing the kid make the chase and Harvick not.too bad Harvick already won

U.K schedulers must have listened to my rant and I get my highlights early Monday morning instead of having to wait 48 hours.

Smoke on the pole which does not happen very often, but when he does qualify that strong then he usually is a serious threat for the win.

So i look for the #14 to be up front all day & maybe get his first win of the season & the third for the organization, which seems to be on a roll.

Could we have our 7th different winner in 7 races? How long can it continue? Let's just hope the tires hold up this time because texas is super fast & if the teams don't follow the tire pressure recommendations then there could be big problems.

Enjoy the race all, should be a good one.
