Wow...awesome job by Rascal Flatts on the national anthem!
I'm choosing Joey Logano as my avatar. I feel he is a worthy ally.

So which part of today's race was more boring: Jimmy Johnson's almost crash, Joey Logano's almost crash, four-wide racing into turn 3, or Jeff Gordon chasing down Menard?

Congrats to Paul and the Menard family.
Paul has had his critics, some are critical of fuel mileage wins but Paul really deserved that win and you cannot say the guy was lucky because Paul has been RCR's top driver recently.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080
