This is purely a marketing gimmick to sell what's left of these on the lots and hasn't he already had a detached retina affecting his vision. I also don't get this comment "few redlights due to the fear of having to run "Big Daddy", which may apply to the old timers, but I think the younger races would agree with my first two statements.

Just my opinions

.007 first round of class. If Fletcher would have taken your advice, Big would be going to the second round.

Greg

Man, it was a bummer to see him miss the top 128 by .148!

But that .007 light showed that while he might be old, he ain't dead. I hope it keeps him racing that car for a while.

Sounds like Big needs to put Ed on the redeye to Indy.

I can't even spell Dodge. :D

Bummer that Don didn't get in the field. I'm sure it's 130 spots lower than he's every qualified before.
