Big Red's sponsoring three cars in this race (And Gaughan in the Truck race). I can't help but wonder why, unless they're aiming for the KY market.

[Mattswad]

I foresee a Big Red wad as all three crash into each other as they all pull behind the pit wall in their race to beat the traffic home. Will probably look like a spit-out piece of Big Red chewing gum stuck to the concrete. (and yes I know that the Big Red we're referring to is the soda, not the gum)

Ok.

I see the 36 and 60, who else?

36 is locked in (but barely), right?

The 32?

No...not barely.  The #7, #21 and #71 will swap the 35th, 36th and 37th positions the rest of the season.  Math wise, anything could happen, but realistically, they're safe.

Yeah, but it was pretty clever!

You do realize that the #32 and #36 aren't start-and-park teams, right?

Doesn't matter to the 'swad.  If a team parked once in their career they are the devil...deserving of a public execution via beheading.

Big Red is based out of Louisville.

Does this mean the #60 isn't going to park this race?

But the #32 has never parked. And I could've sworn Big Red was based in Texas. It was created in Waco, after all. (Drinking a Big Red as I type this. This stuff's perfect for floats and pretty good by itself)

True, but Matt will bring up the fact that Stoddard was the crew chief of the #26 last year and the drivers have all parked for other teams...guilt by association.

The #26 only parked once or twice, and that was after they ran 100 or so laps...Guess what won't do, though.
