On to the windy city for the next race. This will be the final race for TNT this year !!!

It'll be on TNT at 2:30 PM and we'll go live at that time.

Slight change of plans, folks. LSC's not going to be able to make it today, so we're going to have this thread open for discussion all day long. Myself and/or other members of the GoTeamsGo staff will be around off and on all day to join into the discussion. Here's hoping we have a good race!

Hey Chuck, I should be out finishing up a fence we're doing, but its too damn hot here. Yesterdays 101 kicked my butt. So, I'm just going to kick it in the AC till later tonight.
Hopefully this cookie cutter track has a good race and we get a new winner again.

That would be nice, most definitely. Smaller team winning would be nice.

I just got back from a flea market, and I'm definitely glad to be back in the AC myself.

So I see that this is a fairly new race... only been run since 2001, according to Wikipedia. Five different winners in the first six years of the Tropicana/USG Sheetrock 400, with Kevin Harvick the only two-time champ.

Here's the full list of past winners:

USG Sheetrock 400
2006 Jeff Gordon
2005 Dale Earnhardt, Jr.

Tropicana 400
2004 Tony Stewart
2003 Ryan Newman
2002 Kevin Harvick
2001 Kevin Harvick

Won't be more than a couple of hours until we find out if someone new joins their ranks, or if we see our second two-time winner at Chicagoland.

My neighbors were having a yard sale yesterday, and one of the first things that sold was their big umbrella they were using for shade.

Ha ha ha, figures. Isn't that just the way? Wonder if that yard sale got any shorter as a result.

ESPN has the AllState 400 on July 29th and has a few races after that

So then, from what I can see... next week's an off week for the Nextel Cup series?

Good feature on Bowyer on just now. Didn't realize this was just his 2nd year in Nextel.

The hat says Nicorette. I see a Quaker State logo on his jacket. Probably one of those (couldn't see the car).
