NASCAR Cup - Round 3, Las Vegas...
Saw the 1st practice times & Kyle Busch was 50th fastest out of 51 drivers entered 
I bet big on him again this weekend with a 50 cent bet each way - my gambling is getting out of control

Mark Martin looking strong but he is down to qualify first which is a bit of a disadvantage, although it sometimes isn't. And that man Kyle straight after him!

Although Kyle has an engine change, so his qualifying is irrelevant.

Marcos Ambrose has just gone fastest.
I'll just go hide from the forum for a few days. 
EDIT: He has been immediately Busch-whacked.

Kyle gets pole from Kurt but gets turfed to P43 for an engine change - Ambrose goes to P4

Awesome qualifying by Ambrose ,i dont know what is up with Dale Earnhardt Jr this is the second round he has started at the back.
This years championship is looking good so far theres a bit of variety in the drivers at the top.

My Favourite 08 moment was when Courtney/Besnard comeback drive at Bathurst. Courtney raced through to dominate the opening stint had 15 sec. gap to Lowndes who was in 2nd. In the 2nd stint a slowly deflating tyre (originally diagnosed as a damaged anti-roll bar) slowed Besnard's stint in Courtney's car allowing Whincup to assert dominance over the field rest of the race. On lap 160 S.Richards, fading badly on rear tyres was unable to stop Courtney move into 3rd place.

Dam i wanted to see how Ambrose would go from the front of the field but i guess he has a good setup this weekend so all he has to do is hang on to the back of Busch's bumper and he should be in for a good result.
What is vickers doing to his engines this is the second weekend in a row where he has changed after qualifying?

Gutted that Mayfield DNQed. That team needs strong runs. Awesome for AJ though, in again. They need some more sponsorship.

Easier said than done for Ambrose to follow Kyle through the field...his practice speeds today should be more indicative of his race pace.
Good news for JPM though, the three engine changes (#18 #47 and #83) in his line bump him from a mediocre P23 to a half-decent P17. Seemed a bit of a funny qualifying session anyway with lots of quick guys towards the rear of the field.
