AWESOME....
If there is anyone out there that has never been to a short track race, you need to go. This is some of the most exciting, up close racing there is. I love it.
We used to go to Bakersfield Raceway in Oildale California. High banked, clay surfaced track. You needed goggles and a lid for your beer! They threw clay every place!
I always love the trailer racing or chain racing and some times the figure 8.
Oh yeah...good times

Im a week late watching the Fontana race....OMG
I dont think i breathed for the final 10 laps after the last restart, you just knew Joey and Denny were going to wreck and Hamlin top a real real hard hit.
And what was the TS so pi$$ed about, it all looked fair to me on that re start.
Nice win for Karl and well pleased with Jnrs second as hes now the points leader
Bring on Martinsville in 6 days

I only saw the highlights (had a boombox mini meet that day) It was CRAZY though. Fist fights, hard wrecks, drivers leaving via helicopter....Just nutz....I don't think things will calm down much at Martinsville. Short tracks always bring out the tempers
JR is kicking A$$. I love it
Nice 3rd place finish for Gordon....
Damn Jimmy Johnson...
Danika finished 12th in her first short tracker...not bad...

NASCAR slams Penske Racing with suspensions, penalties
http://m.usatoday.com/article/news/2090275
"NASCAR hammered Penske Racing with suspensions, fines and points penalties on Wednesday, four days after officials confiscated rear-end parts on the team's two cars before the NRA 500 in Texas.
Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano each were docked 25 points, while their crew chiefs, car chiefs, engineers and team manager all were suspended for six weeks. The crew chiefs also were fined $100,000 each.
The penalties, though severe, were expected after NASCAR said Saturday night that Penske's rear-end housings were "not in the spirit of the rules." NASCAR said in its penalty statment that there was a problem with the suspension mounts.
Jimmie Johnson's No. 48 team was hit with a similar penalty last year for illegally modified C-posts at Daytona, though those penalties later were overturned on appeal. The Penske penalties are more severe in that they also include the engineers and team manager.
Before the race, NASCAR took the rear-end housings and other parts from the Nos. 2 and 22 cars and made the teams install new ones. Keselowski and Logano both finished in the top 10, but Keselowski later claimed his team was being unfairly targeted in an "absolutely shameful" way.
"The things I've seen over the last seven days have me questioning everything I believe in, and I'm not happy about it," he said.
Keselowski crew chief Paul Wolfe, car chief Jerry Kelley and engineer Brian Wilson were suspended along with their counterparts on Logano's team, Todd Gordon, Raymond Fox III and Samuel Stanley. Team manager Travis Geisler also was suspended.
Penske released a statement saying it would appeal the penalties and would comment when appropriate.
Keselowski will drop from second to fourth in the Sprint Cup Series point standings. Logano drops from ninth to 14th -- 24 points outside of the top 10."
