Full list of every driver's intro song at Bristol

I hate a Yota won it but if that had to be, I can't think of an other driver I'd rather see in victory lane .... congratulations to the 20 .... amazing to the see the 48 finish second, as one of the announcers said, he hit everything but the Tennessee Lottery .... things didn't go smoothly for my girl but Danica pulled off a 9th place finish .... in addition, I don't know where she will go from here but as of today she's 13th in the points

If I remember right she started 26th. At a short track, it's impressive to start at the back and make your way to the front. Sounds like Johnson did it too. Well done!

And Smoke had his best finish of the year. Not too bad, but a BIG hole to dig out of...

yep, Jimmy started 28th .... his driving and his crew clearly demonstrated why they are 6 time champions .... they had every reason to simply ride it out and just wouldn't quit

its been a while since Tony (6th) was the highest finishing SHR driver .... Danica was next in 9th .... Kurt ran well and fought back with major damage to his car to finish 15th .... once again Harvick had a strong car but he too was involved in a collision that killed his day

from this interesting recap of the race :

" Danica Patrick was ninth, recording her second top-10 of the year and the sixth of her career, breaking a tie with Janet Guthrie for most ever by a female driver."

a second link with more info

Next race looks to be at Richmond International Raceway, I assume that's Virginia. I'll have to look up the particulars for that one.

Yes, RIR is in Virginia. Less than two hours from my home. Last fall (there are two races there per year) my son had a soccer tournament within sight, and certainly sound of the track. It was killing me!

now days having 2 short track races in a row is a bit unusual .... any hard feelings that may have been developed this past weekend may will carry over to this coming weekend

Here it is, a decent photo of the overall track... D-shaped, 3/4 mile, correct?
