Nascar Cup 2011 Race 4 - Bristol

The best part of Bristol is we don't have to race there again. Oh wait, there's a night race in August. But at least we made it through that one. Drop outs aren't an issue. And California should be pretty good. Not much time in between, but we'll be back on track. So to speak. See you all Wednesday.
