I’ve got a busy day ahead but fortunately I’ll be within earshot of the TV so I’ll be able to listen to the race and pop into the room when something important happens or when I need a break.

If you get a chance during the race follow my twitter lists and see what the media, wives, girlfriends, etc are tweeting about you just might get some juicy info before the FOX crew does. If I were a producer at FOX I’d have somebody monitoring NASCAR’s Twitter accounts to get the latest info and feed it to my broadcast crew and out it up on FOX’s web page ASAP.
See you after the jump, as I’ll be checking in and posting throughout the day.
