Didn't start watching until 8, but I got to see the big crash. Montoya was out on a caution lap and his car darted toward a jet dryer that was out. He hit it and, totalled his car and all the jet fuel started coming out form the dryer. Big fire, 2 hour delay on clean up. Ended up staying up until the end. Decent race, 2 more crashes after that.

I'm tired this morning... wasn't expecting it to go that late, or I would have taken a nap during the delay.

I think I may have taken a nap during the delay and I'm still tired, but I did see the end. I bet the guy driving the jet dryer never saw it coming.

I set the DVR to record the rest and went to bed at 10:00.

I didn't watch it but I DID get up and go out to the shop at 2:45 AM to get my FREE GTO frame I've been waiting 3 years for. The seller isn't very good about judging time but since he finally had it on a trailer and was going by on the way to Chicago, I wasn't going to say NO...rolleyes Got back to bed at 3:45 and was out like a light.

He is going to forward my phone number to another guy that bought a '66 Pontiac frame and has a Chevelle frame to sell.
