AWESOME!!!!!!
Thanks NY
I will be watching!

Martin has been quiet.. just asking if he should get out of the car on rain delay...
Told Bono and the crew to "Let's have a good one today".. Bono said .. we will, we will."
Sometimes during commercials, there is also no scanner talk.
This better not be a gas mileage race, or a rain out... I will be pissed...

Is it just me or has there been a lot of rain at the tracks this year?

[zx9rwheelie]

Truex says he's pushing

[truexjrfan-NY]

Back too racin.. Bono wants Martin to stay out... Martin good with that....
Not sure what is up with Martin.. he is usually more talkative.. he is very quite so far..
just one word answers to the crew.. and it's usually just .."yup!".
Lap 16: Martin reports the car is pushing..
Lap: 18: reporting tight center, tight off..
Bono's just telling him to keep his momentum up..
Commerical... Martin is searching the track for a good groove.

[truexjrfan-NY]

M... says he needs some front grip.. so now just waitin on a pit stop too make some
changes.. Bono says, about 5 laps.

[truexjrfan-NY]

zx9.... do you have a delay on raceview in the action... I am behind a bit on
the live action..

[truexjrfan-NY]

Laps. 51-53 M.. "still needs more front grip.. and motor feel like s##t.. feels flat" Needs more front grip, not less rear"
He's back to 13th.. needs to be goin in the other direction... COME ON Martin and guys..
get this car going...
Bono's telling him to "search around..doing good"..
M.. asking if last lap was better or worse.. Bono said better.. doin good..
Caution... THANKS Robby Gordon.. (Jerk)

[brandi]

Sounds like hes slowly going backwards

[zx9rwheelie]

zx9.... do you have a delay on raceview in the action... I am behind a bit on
the live action..

view is ahead of tv voice is 1/2 lap behind most of the time

[truexjrfan-NY]

M.. just told Bono at next stop to take all the changes out they made and start over
or think of somthing else, cause the changes they made are not helping at all.
He said they are REALLY, REALLY bad.. Bono said they are the worse car on the track,
except Newman, who just got lapped..
M: "Thank the Lord"... a Caution...
I hope the guys find something that works.. he needs help.. and a decent finish.

Yeah that does not sound to good!
Thanx for the update

[truexjrfan-NY]

Lap: 121... Wreck... The # 2 hurt Big Time.. the #6 in it.. Looks like the 2 caught
a little bit of the left rear of the 6.. and the 6 lost it... The 2 slams into the inside
barrier.. too the garage...
At least Martin wasn't in it this time..

[brandi]

At least Martin wasn't in it this time..

Glad to hear that!!!!!
Thnx

[truexjrfan-NY]

Martin is asking about the rain.. I think he wants it to come hard, and for this to
be over... I think he wants the whole season over with the luck he's had. LOL

[truexjrfan-NY]

M:... "F$&#ing splitter.. God that just kills me"...
Caution for rain.. Lap 146...
M: "What's the deal?".. Bono says .. "Stayin out.. will get caught up".
Asking what happend to JPM.?
"If we can figure how to get the splitter up off the ground, we could get better I think".
M: "Probably will leave pits closed till the rain moves out" Bobo said they will do some stuff when pits open. Some kind of pack too put under the splitter.

[truexjrfan-NY]

Juans tire problem happened right in front of Martin.. That could have been UGLY...
Good thing JPM went to the middle...Martin stayed up high.
Bono telling Martin to stay out..
Martin asking Bono if they could make it from here.Lap 149... Bono says negative.. they would be short about 4 laps.
48 says they are 5 laps short on gas... HERE WE GO AGAIN... This gets scary.!!!

[truexjrfan-NY]

At the re-start M is P5...Gee, back where we started....45 too go.. P6
M: "I am tired of thtis F%$#ing pushing.. Plowing and sideways," he is NOT HAPPY...
Caution.. Stremme spins ..
M: "Loose everywhere except hitting the ground"
Bono wants to put in a packer.. M says if eveyone come in don't do packer..
it's too late, he will fall too far behind.. Just do what everyone is doing.. if he wanted
to do a packer, you should have done it sooner"

[truexjrfan-NY]

The 48 stays out.. cutting engine to save gas... I HOPE HE NEEDS THE TOW TRUCK
TO GET HIM OVER THE FINISH LINE....
Oops!!.. Just gave away the driver I like the least...
