Week 35 Commentary

Jimmie Johnson is well on his way to a fourth consecutive championship after running away with the race at Phoenix International Raceway last weekend. Conway NASCAR League veteran Ricky Racer was in attendance, and as we noted in the week 31 commentary, he is quite bored with Johnson winning every weekend. Apparently, he is quite a conversation piece in the Phoenix infield.



Blind Squirrel Racing won the week, followed by CEBO, THe Gas Man, Lug Nuts and BMF Lugnuts. Several race teams have loaded up the hauler and have headed home.

The standings are tight with only one race to go. Only two racers moved up more than 2 spots, Lug Nuts and CosmoD. Lisa Las Vegas and Big Time Racers brushed the wall and dropped a few spots.

Although I am sure The Gas Man will keep the petal mashed, I doubt he can run down Team Taser. Team Taser would need about 2 DNF's on his team to open the door for The Gas Man, who is the only team that has a chance of catching Team Taser. Ricky Racer, BAHL (actually not a misprint) and WTF Racing round out the top five.

And, if you can believe it, after yet another year of intense weekly pre race deliberation, Boy Racing and Lil Boy have yet again found themselves tied. I may have to play a lotto ticket if I was one of them.

We wrap up the 2009 season down in Homestead for the FORD 400 at Homestead Miami Speedway. Jimmie Johnson need to only finish 25th to win the championship. Nothing against Johnson, but I think just about everyone is pulling for Mark "The Kid" Martin. The will put them under green at approximately 3:31PM EST

Good Luck and Stand on it!
