First race after Richard Petty's 200th. Interestingly, the best car of the night was Ronnie Thomas, who had really the best run of his career. He passed everybody that night but he was still many laps down for problems he had. Also it was Ken Schraeder's first race. All in all a pretty eventful first race. 2.

Are you for real? Webster definition of Obscurity - The state of being unknown or forgotten. Richard Petty; Unknown or forgotten? - I don't think so!!! Ever heard of the Nascar Hall Of Fame? Check out Richard Petty - he's in it. Lame poster david - unknown and forgotten? - yes, you can bet on it!!! Webster definition of mediocre; of only moderate quality, not very good. Richard Petty - moderate quality? not very good? - he's the standard by which the sport is measured, you dolt!!! Lame poster david - mediocre? - absolutely!!! Thanks for playing though - Wow!!! 13. saltsburgtrojanfan posted: 07.09.2014 - 5:14 am Rate this comment: (0) (0) Lap 123-130: #51,52,75 accident backstretch Lap 152-159: #90 accident Lap 359-366: unknown 14.

You can see him on the starting grid at the end of the field in the YouTube video of the race. (His was the only car without a c-Pillar window). If you look close enough you can spot him being lapped pretty early on. Does anyone know if he was simply not scored for some reason? Here's the video of the full race: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vtc9ifEDP8c 17.

I might not have been thrilled with somethings I did last year when i visited but did not mind seeing Opryland and getting the Broadway Street de-facto tour and tried one of your well known restaurants you got. sadly couldn't eat everything but you did have the NASCAR on me in that Hattie B's which I felt pretty glad you did because when I went man it was hot hot enough I poured water my head three times. But didn't mind staying in a suburb with La Quinta, had pool, gym, elevator, solid bed, and was in the big exit. Bigger then some of those in your area. just saying. But go to a couple of those well known Nashville attractions. 21.

Man that was brilliant and so funny, but strange too but it worked. Lets hope when comeback gimmie a part 2!!! 22.
