With the way this season is going, I hope it's a great race, but it's a stretch when it comes to Texas.

BTW, Jimmie Johnson was fastest in first practice Friday afternoon.

In my opinion, I honestly would not mind if Jimmie wins this race, because he'd become the 7th different winner from the first 7 races.

Rain is predicted for Sunday, this could turn into a blessing

In all seriousness though, with how the other races have been. I think the race will be better then years past. But not by a whole lot.

Race has been postponed to 12:00 ET tomorrow. It will be on Fox.

No awards for this race, I wont get to see it.
Fuck rain.

Honestly, they need to have rain tires and wipers like the old nationwide cars.

I have school, which is more purposeful/entertaining then a NASCAR race at Texas! So I won't be watching it either. But now that I say that, the race will probably be amazing.

Engines have started!

Junebug hits the grass, blows tire, and hits the wall. That was scary and just random  

EDIT : Harvick blew up..... AGAIN

Joey Logano wins!!!

Actually a average race at Texas....

Give this a 5/10

Just heard about what happened to Junior. His heroic sacrifice to take Jimmie Johnson out of contention shall be rewarded.

Woke up with about 35 to go, I don't think I missed much aside from Dale Jr wrecking.

Just Junior wrecking, Kurt Busch failing repeatedly, and yeah...not much at all.

Pretty meh race.

On to Darlington

pretty good race by Texas standards, but then again that's not saying much.



eh 5.5/10

LOL, he's not even good enough to win one title, let alone seven. His moment of "genius" made me laugh. Too bad Logano won.

I'll tell you one thing, with the way his season has been going so far apart from that mistake, he might finally after some years be a major thread to win th Championship.

In my opinion, I actually don't really mind for once that Logano once. 7 different winners in the first 7 races, this is the 2012 F1 Season all over again.
