You need tire changers, tire carriers, guys to fill the gas tank, and another to catch the overflow. And usually someone to clean the windshield and grill. I really like watching a well executed pit stop. It is very choreographed, and can be a thing of beauty. Hope that isn't overdoing it, but it is fun to watch.

Who let the Giants rookie in the room?

I guess I should be careful... Mr. Cain has a lot more comments than I do!

its like the old full service gas stations, in 13 seconds.

on subject: Gateway unfortunately never got a cup race, instead, places like Kansas City for god sakes builds a new track and gets it.. Now we got Rusty's deal in Iowa. maybe they will get a NW race next.

Good afternoon nascar fans, well my boat is up for the winter, nasty day to do it though, races at gateway were always pretty good, a darn shame it's over for them, great Truck races were held there. I guess the economy bug got them also. Shame

You will certainly remember the Edwards Keselowski dust up in the Nationwide this year.
Mr. Nice; I put my boat shoes away for the winter, I guess that's not the same. Right. LOL

seems that a year ago they were talking about jeff gordon and some biggie from one of the oil rich countries were looking to build a track in canada---------if that ever goes thru they will have a cup race right away-----

Huge surprise here. I always liked the racing at that track.

Give Cain a chance here.

Yes it is.

Eventually this will be about the France family...or Bruton Smith...buying Dover and taking away a date...or both dates.

Yes, because Cain brings so much to the table here. He wants a chance....stop asking dumb bass questions. I'm sure he's brighter than the question he posted.

Always sad when a racetrack closes.
