And he does it,first win since 08, not great race, had it all to himself for the final 50 laps
No worse than the Audi fest at LM. Still, great result for the 88 team, well deserved and long overdue, hoping it opens the floodgates for a few more (despite being British and not a redneck, I support Jr and the 88 team!)Time to go road racing!
No trucks.
Nationwide are in Wisconsin at Road America.
Cup are over in Sonoma at what was known as Sears Point, later Infineon Raceway.
Nationwide race will be on motorstv at 9:30 Saturday. Good news is Eric McClure will be back this weekend after his rather nasty shunt at Talladega.
Cup green flag is 8:19pm our time Sunday. This will be the last race before rule changes in cup, which will apply on 27th June, for an overview read here: http://www.buildingspeed.org/blog/2012/06/rules-ch... - summary is the side skirts are being raised and there is a change to sway bars.

Missed the Nationwide race (Danica in the lead?!), but looking forward to this one, as they're usually always pretty interesting.
Danica was running genuine top 5 pace the whole race and putting overtaking moves on the front running cars, ubcluding one for the lead at one point, but got dumped in the gravel from 4th on the last lap.They've all been very well behaved in the race tonight, not at all like Sonoma normally is ...

Enjoyed this race a lot do you know of JV was penalised for his move on Danica?
unlikely I would think.
After a ordinary cup race at Sonoma, maybe they should take on road america instead. Or maybe it was just the lack of regular cup drivers doing double duties that made it a great race.
tough to work out a fuel stategie there given the length of the track, a single green white chequer would add 12 miles to the race! Notice some cars even had wipers. Good stuff!
