Just watched the broadcast on ESPN2. Great race! This was the first exposure I've ever had of the place and I'm impressed. Didn't know it had that much banking.

BTW I'm glad there was no front row winner this time. Plenty of passing last night. Congrats on the win T-Mac!

Great race to watch, loved the T-Mac wave and then listen to Donny (BOO HOO) Schatz cry about it!! Just can't find a reason to like the guy??? Him and Tony should make a good couple next year!!

Saldana questioning the start penalty that put Schatz into the dash...priceless.

Lincoln 1845 ft/.35 mile T1=118MPH

Grove 2792 ft/.53 mile T3=135MPH
Selinsgrove 2847 ft/.54 mile T1=136MPH

Petey, KC is bad ass. I have'nt been down there in a few years, Maybe it's time.

Saldana should question the call!! Donny has been on the good side of those calls all year. The WoO are going out of their way to make him the poster boy!!!!

questionable calls have put donny in a position to win. but the problem with winning alot is that it puts you right in the sights of the other teams to shoot you down. t-mac showed that the way to get back at and get to donny is to just drive by him.(so what if he gave him a little wave while he was doing it.) if the rest of the teams would not continue to bow down and be so politically correct toward schatz it would take some wind out of his sails. everyone caters to schatz and is afraid go head to head with him. all it takes is for guys to say in victory lane that that there is more to the woo than donny schtaz and to not be so humble by saying it was a thrill to beat him and you could get in his head. i am not trying to slam donny, i give him credit for the season he is having, but everyone is just laying down and letting him have his way. you don't lay down and roll over when someone is knocking the crap out of you if you want to change things. you fight back. you do your best to beat him, and when you beat him you let everyone including him KNOW you beat him. and when you don't beat him you don't say it was a pleasure to run second to him. you say next time i'm going to beat him. if you want to beat guys like donny schatz you have to go after them. you can't wait for them to make a mistake, you have to pressure them to make one. that means on the track and on air. you don't have to be rude or vulgar but a little "in your face" wouldn't hurt. no one has flat come out and challenged donny. saldana was a challenge on the track earlier in the year, and if he or anyone else can challenge donny on the track in the next few weeks and months they need to be just as challenging in their interviews. the guy has been beating up on everyone like crazy lately. t-mac was just the first to stop treating schatz with kid gloves. donny is ok when he feels he has no rival. give him some rivals who can bruise his ego a bit and let him hear footsteps things might get interesting. rivalries. that is something you guys that long for the good old days can relate to. lol.
