Shes doing awful. Lost the draft through stupid driving. Stalled in the pits.

I was unaware the Nationwide Series had been renamed to Danica Presents the NASCAR Danica Series, Powered by Danica, in Association with Danica. (PS Danica)

Doesn't matter what Brad was doing. Carl moved sharp right to fit into a gap that was too small for his car. It was never going to work, no matter what Brad did.

They're going to run out of drivers to interview

EDIT: Speaking of which, it's nice to hear some origional interviews and even some banter between the drivers and trackside reporters or commentators.

EDIT 2: You could have run an entire GP during that break!

What a finish!!!!

Awesome race! Dale Jnr came from nowhere to 2nd too!

Montoya 10th, good race but kinda expected more. Next weekend cant come soon enough :D!

Got to say the breaks were abit annoying but it just prolonged the excitment :p

"Looks like we may have a hole" - Jimmie Johnson...

Great race, but that situation was pathetic, i never saw something like that in my entire life.

Returning to the race, not the best start for JJ and Jeff, hope better results for next race. Incredible and unexpected move for Dale JR., giving some emotion to the race. Congrats to J. McMurray, but I thought that the race was going to Harvick after his move before the last restart.

i never saw something like that in my entire life.

Really?

F1 @ Montreal
NASCAR@ Martinsville

Anyway, Harvick must be hating it. His move to get to the lead before the last yellow was amazing.

Oh how awesome Danica is.

In the best equipment, in the Nationwide Series, she qualifies 36th, and drops to last almost immediately. She is lapped after just 19 laps, is caught speeding in the pit lane, almost takes out the race leader, and finally finishes 33rd, 3 laps down. Speed, Hornish, Franchitti, Montoya all made far far better starts than her.

Monty looking strong this weekend :D! just to confirm, its 8pm GMT right?

No idea what time it started, I was out. But stream: [www.justin.tv]~

So I decided to give NASCAR a go, but after one minuted the stream stopped and said 'We've reached the maximum amount of streams in your country, please buy a Pro account'. WTF?

stopped watching after JPM's engine went... was a distraction from uni work, but its got interesting again :p

loads of speeders in the pitlane!

edit - also, just to say, this track is showing the one thing that first amazed me when i started to watch these races...

just how many different lines the drivers take! it looks asif no one driver has the same line as the next. its amazing. 4 corners yet so different. Who woulda thought with only 4 corners the optimum could be so different driver to driver.

Harvick is one hell of a driver, hopefully he'll have the chance to fight for the title this year

NASCAR will be shown in the UK Live on Sky Channel 190 (Open Access) starting this weekend. You can get this channel on Freesat, but not Freeview.

So near yet so far AGAIN for Monty. Properly blew that final restart.

---

If it wasn't for that idiot Carl in the first place...

I'm not sure he'd have had the speed and time to pass Kurt before the finish anyway, but he got given the perfect chance when he lined up for the final restart and blew it. Juan and Kurt made fantastic moves on the first restart to get back to 1st/2nd as well. Brilliant aggressive racing from them.

Hopefully NASCAR parks Carl for the next race. You just can't do that. The damage to Keselowskis car was terrifying.
