I got my hopes up that this was a Saturday night race, then I saw it was on Sunday. I could have sworn one of the Phoenix races was Saturday night, I guess not.
It was on Sat night last Spring, but it was in April. It's about 7 weeks earlier this year.

Truck race in Phoenix tonight is a cautionfest. They can't seem to go two laps after going green before another yellow comes out.

In a land not seen since July 2003, Kyle Busch leads every lap of the Nationwide race today - 200. Last time was Earnhardt Jr at Daytona, 100 laps. Most since Jeff Burton led all 300 laps at New Hampshire in 2000, in the lone restrictor-plate race there.

I hate Kyle Busch with a passion, but the boy can wheel a car. Doesn't hurt to have top notch equipment, but he could probably still win with mid-pack equipment.

Not an 18 fan as well but I will admit sometimes he reminds me of:

Love Kyle. Wreck 'em baby!

The Phoenix race is going to take 5 hours at this pace.

Completely took out Edwards and JGordon in the process, among others.

*and as for Cope, although Cope lucked into the 500 (#3 flat tire in turn 3, probably limps home to win if he still had the 10+ second lead wiped out by Geoff Bodine's caution at lap 193), he did win again later in the year.

Way too early in this race to be bumping people around going 3 wide for positions.

Did you see there is a female digger for equality now? Wonder when the black and sombrero wearing rodents will be added?
