The Dover Descussion Thread is Thread number 666

The monster mile killed my guy.

Sorry to see that Kasey took a beating yesterday. There is always hope out there that he will comeback in the next 8 races. I can't say that I was real sad when Kyle said "We're done !!"

As for the numbers 666, I guess they were lucky for Jeff. Great to see him race hard, clean and get the win. I'm sure there is some extra satisfaction after the stories that came out after last weeks race.

Was "there". Been a Dover attendee (June and September) for about 17 consecutive years.

Observations from yesterday:

* The number of empty seats is on the increase. Clearly noticable.

* The track has become real "racey" since the concrete several years ago. Likely a combination of wear in and improvements in handling / familiarity. Pretty much 3 grooves through the turns regularly.

* For the pure race fan, the last 50 laps were classic racing regardless of whether or not your / my / anyones favorite was involved

* Monsoon rain hit within 5 - 10 minutes after checkered flag. Many long walks to cars were forever "memorable". As is ofter the case, vast majority of fans simply took the soaking in stride. Did not see the "rude rush" anywhere.

* Have rarely (at Dover) if ever seen so many fans hang out after the checker to congratulate the winner. Burton obviously is hard for folks to root against. The Childress aspect likely adds to as well.

* Great race / race track to see a race at.

* Real class move by Kenseth at / by the flag stand at race end. As I watched it live had to wonder if TNT was at commercial break. Would not be surprised.

* Did not see Dilner checking rims / tires after race.

I also saw that yesterdays race was Mark Martin's 666th start. That's kinda weird.
