It will take a few weeks to get things sorted out and find out who is really dialed in for the 2010 season, but the whipsaw action we saw in the standings this week was breathtaking.
For the week, DFL Racing took the top spot with a strong score, inching out Slow Motion Racing, who was about to pull a Matt Kenseth and go 2 for 2 out of the gate. Also scoring top five finishes were Tank Racing, Pamela's Pistons (looking good so far) and Runnin on Fumes. ADD moment, did you see his log with his truck pictured? This cat ain't layin! Broken drive trains put Irish Racing, Man in Black, Cosmo and MT Pockets behind the wall.
Up front we find Slow Motion Racing, with The Big Lebowski, Hot Stuff Racing, DFL and Tank Racing close behind. Runnin on Fumes and Racing Fever gained the most spots, over 30, for the week. Ratatack, Team Taser* and Blood or Tears Racing also had strong moves.
The garage area looked like the unemployment office center as police were needed for crowd control. WTC Racing, lisa Las Vegas, BMF Lugnuts, WTF, Punch, L&M Racing, Fullers Fast Track, Team Wolf, Speedway Princess, Man in Black and Lucky Penny all fell several spots. CosmoD made every effort to set the record for the biggest tumble, tumbled for us some 47 spots!
We stay out west this week as head over to Las Vegas to roll the dice on the Shelby American at Las Vegas Motor speedway, which should no doubt be more exciting than AutoClub. I hear drinks may be served at Lisa Las Vegas's infield motorcoach. They aim to put em under green at 3:16PM.
Keep the shiny side up!

The Business of McMurray's Win
FOX Business Newtwork's Toby Smith interviews Jamie McMurray on his big win at Daytona.
Week 1 Commentary
Congratulations to Jamie McMurray for racing to the biggest win of his career by grabbing the checkers in the 52nd running of The Great American Race, The Daytona 500.
For the Conway NASCAR League, it was Slow Motion Racing who took the win, getting off to yet another fine start. Rounding out the top five were Team Hot Stuff, The Big LeBowski, WTC Racing and Lisa Las Vegas.
Collected in the big one were Budah, who has already unleashed commentary in one of the media center outlets (the RACESCORE message board), Blind Squirrel Racing, URBANSGATORS, Snookbabe, Irish Racing and Shake & Bake Racing.
It looks like we will have 72 racers this year. We did lose some long time racers this year in Diamond Dave, former champion and perennial front runner Luckydog and Fins Twin Turbo, who is dealing with some health issues we wish him well on. The economy no doubt sidelined a few teams as well.
From the high banks in Daytona we head all the way out to the Autoclub Speedway in Fontana, California for the running of the AutoClub 500. The green flag drops out there at approximately 3:19PM EST.
Stay out of the potholes!
