enjoy the race everyone

paul tracey starts towards the back, but will be at the front by the end providing andretti the talentless doesn't spin him out again.

top tips for the race anyone

I see Andretti is marked as a rookie at nascar.com but I thought he was in nascar for years? It confuses me cos he drives like a rookie ! any updates for me anyone?

Watch for McMurray, Waltrip and Kenny Wallace hooking up to go to the front. Look out for the other Wallace too, Mike is as good a plate racer as anyone!

More so this year than before, the Busch series is looking like Cup Mk 2 with all the Buschwackers taking the money. I do not expect any difference tonight.
