Historically my favorite race – though the last few have left a bit to be desired. It has been an exciting weekend of racing so far. The ARCA series kicked things off with a bizarre action-filled race. For reasons beyond my understanding Chad Hackenbracht pushed Brandon McReynolds to the win.

NASCAR 2012 – Race 7 – Texas
Night racing in Texas. The clouds were ominous, but the weather wasn’t expected until after midnight. The race was typical Texas. There were lots of long, green-flag runs, and not much else. In the end, it seems Jimmie Johnson just lost concentration. Continue reading “NASCAR 2012 – Race 7 – Texas”
