| I know that the pay day is huge and the track has a lot of history, but that was by far one of the most boring races I have ever tried to watch. I didn't make it to the halfway point - and it isn't just because the Yates cars were stinking the place up. It was just flat out boring. No passing, no side by side racing, nothing. | |

I have faith that things will change very soon. I also think that Roush drivers in the chase may just get a change to use the NEW ENGINE, PROVIDING ALL GOES WELL IN THE FIRST FEW TEST RACES. What do you think Andrew? | |

| First of all, I agree. That was the worst race I've seen since I started watching NASCAR 6 or 7 years ago. It was awful... there was NO passing, by anyone!! SO BORING!  As for the new engine, I do not think that the Roush Chase drivers will get the engine this year. It's just too risky. Don't want an engine failure to take you out of contention. However, if, in the the last 2 or 3 races, one or more of them is out of championship contention, then they might get it just to try it out... (but, that's just my speculation...) | |

| One of the most boring races I've ever watched. Juan has by far the best car, gets penalized, and can only gain one spot back afterwards? A joke! | |

| I actually left and didn't come back until about 20 laps to go because the race was so boring.  I'd be surprised if any of the Roush drivers in the Chase had the new engine anytime this season, but then again, Kurt Busch urged Roger Penske to put it in for the last few races of last season. Carl may urge Jack to do the same if his results do not improve this year. | |
