Open Thread: Samsung 500 at Texas Motor Speedway
So here we go with another open race thread. I won't be around at the start of the race but I should be around for the end, but that shouldn't stop you from coming by and checking out what people are saying from time to time.
Here are some things that you could talk about:
- Kyle Busch
- Will Jeff Gordon get that Texas sized monkey off his back and finally win at this track?
- Scott Speed - Where's the speed gone?
- Will AJ Allmendinger get a full-time ride by the end of May?
- How about Menard's and Logano's qualifying efforts? But will they translate into good fiishes?
- Anything else you can think of?
Remember to comment and comment often. See you later.
