AJ Almendenger is Going Off (Rolex24)

[volinbham]

AJ, just took the lead with some very aggressive driving. Questionable since it's only early in the second hour of 24 but this kid is fast.

He's got Robby Gordon/Paul Tracy written all over him! Should be an exciting addition to NASCAR :dance2:

Cool.

Is Angelelli in the race? He's a fun cat to watch out there. Kinda reminds me of Robby and PT, on the track anyway, as well.

He ran the first hour (can't remember which team). He's on a team with 4 drivers and they'll probably only do 1 hour stints at a time.

Geez, seems like they'd lose a lot of time that way. I watched pretty much all of it a couple years ago when Jr., Stewart, and Andy Wallace were driving for the same team and they would each do 3 or 4 hour stints it seemed.

Maybe just to start - Angelelli said last year he started with a 2 hour stint and could feel it the next day.

Maybe they'll just all get some track time early then take longer runs through the night.

Supposed to rain tonight - can't imagine being on the 3am - 5am stint in the dark and rain!

That time I watched the whole/as much that was televised it was raining so hard during the night session that they ran behind the pace car/vehicle for about 3 hours. :lol: As rough as going full throttle in the rain/darkness, I can't imagine driving pace speed for that long. How boring.

i called my dad tonight and i couldn't hear him on the phone because it was so loud.

apparently, he's there right now.
