Look for the verified symbol 




Red arrow looks like stewart in the whoop section.... Outta control!!!
is that Michael Sweet on #777 in second ?
Don't expect much passing this weekend.....Whoever gets the start, wins.
It would be nice to take out one triple and add another rhythm section. 20 min +2 would be much better for racing in both classes as well.
no passing with that whoop section.......looks nice and long i think there will be plenty of passing....?
we should have a new weekly feature: Where will JS7 crash?
I'm a huge stewart fan but when you go as hard as he does shlt happens.
To start it off, I'm calling he tries to quad(opposed to triple-single) after the big triple and into the corner. He'll case it or jump the berm, maybe slide out. Hope he wins though.
Guys that need to make passes happen, will make them happen.....the rythym sections do not always look as they appear on the map come raceday....Aside from short lap times, the track appears to offer some good lines....but again, it always looks different on paper than in the dirt.....
47 second lap times is my guess, I hope that big whoop section stays there.
hahahaha the first comment is hilarious
I'm amazed, I don't see one of those stupid walls in there that ruin the flow.
Looks fast. I agree, the start wins this one.
As long as CBS is doing their "thing" on not broadcasting live...I am on strike...no red arrow watching for now...LOL
As if the stadium wasnt packed full anyway...they would have much better rating live than retransmitting Sunday and Monday.Dumb move.
Red Arrow almost didn't pull that huge whip back in time at the big triple jump.....close one!
I like that last whoop- bigger than the rest- that should make it interesting when the racing gets heated.
i say top 5 big bike times sub 42sec, top 3 lites sub 43, going to take 48sec or better to make the night show
red arrow did the track in like 35 seconds
Yeah....backyard track......
Red Arrow did the sick Myles Richmond Look Back whip. Awesome.
Everyone says the track is one lined every weekend. Have you guys ever even been on a track? Really? They are all on the same track, They are all pros shooting for the same fastest lines always. That is what they do that makes them pros. There may be only one fastest line around any track, but that is why they call it racing and not just Starting.
First turn is going to be crucial to get thru clean. Hug the inside.
Stewart will crash his brains out (given) it's just a matter of where........hmmm......I'll bet on the whoops .......just how many poor suckers will he take with him this time?
What happened to the whoops? I thought this was supercross........
Cool triple triple double triple turning right in between...
@Lbiggie whoops are on fourth straight
Not a Stewart fan really but c'mon. Dudes bash him BEFORE the gate drops. Get over your issues... if he does something then ok.
It is obvious that he is not the one, but he is still needed...especially with the injuries we have been having lately.
IMO
Hey I think the red arrow is getting a bit too confident with its antics? When yo do that sooner or later you will crash Red arrow!
@Welker
Red Arrow is definitely going to crash soon, I think he is riding over his arrowhead.
Hard to say where Stewart will check the track surface this week. He has really mixed it up for us this year. Hasn't really crashed in the same type obstical yet. So this week my money is on the long whoop section. As long as he doesn't get hurt it provides for great entertainment. Maybe Erin Bates could ask him how he feels about the track surface in the post race interview!
That being said - it is his turn to win this week and this track will suit his all balls speed so if he gets a good start he could run away with this one if he has no real pressure from behind.
is the arrow factory or privateer ?
must be privateer that explains the swaps...
yawn...... another boring track. Lap times between 48 and 52 seconds. ho-hum.
unfortuately , this looks like a" big V " track nobody is faster than that guy!!! sorry guys better luck next sx
finally a long section of whoops, still 90s though
