Running wide open: The Sharpie 500 talkback thread

Bristol! Nighttime racing! What more do you need? Really, what more? Don't get greedy or anything! This is about as good as racing gets, crowding 43 cars onto a half-mile track. And with the Chase at stake and some bad blood between Chase contenders Brian Vickers and Kyle Busch on the rise, we're in for a fine evening. (Side note: Kyle and BV qualified next to each other, and will share a truck for the prerace circuit of the track. What wouldn't you give to see them break out into a fistfight right there in the back of the truck?)

Anyway, your defending champ is Carl Edwards, who beat out Kyle in that scene there above, then spun him after the race when Kyle got a little froggy. Will something similar happen again? Hang here or visit us at the live chat over on the main page as we find out. Enjoy the race, everybody!
