If last night’s race is any indication then we should have ourselves a pretty interesting race tonight.
Open Race Thread: NASCAR Sprint Cup Showtime Southern 500 | Darlington Raceway


Oh, and don’t expect to see any more Montoya vs Newman stuff going on tonight either, they’ve both been warned by NASCAR. Expect the war to continue later in the season once the dust settles from this latest dispute.
Can’t wait for the green flag to fly.
Here is the starting line-up (via nascar.com).
Can you believe Kahne’s qualifying lap? Joe Nemechek said Kahne went through turns 1 and 2 wide open when he qualified. Wide open. Holy crap. Wide open. That is something you just don’t do in a Cup car at Darlington. Wow.
Don’t forget to read phillyfan_17’s excellent fantasy round-up, live from Darlington Speedway. You can read that here.
And also: Matt’s stat-based race preview. It’s an excellent companion to the fantasy preview. You can read that here.
See you on the other side, in the comment area of course.
