The running of the 2010 Brickyard 400 was very strange and resulted in low scores for much of the Conway NASCAR League.
BMF Lugnuts took the checkers, followed by Chevy Intimidators, Cuda, Miss Make Shit Happen and the trio of O Racing, WTC racing and Team Collin. Several others were right behind this group. Fitz Racing and Shake & Bake look like they are loading up their respective haulers while Batson Roofing, CosmoD (fresh off his bands stellar performance at the Fraser Fundraiser at the Shack) and DFL were among those not fairing well.
Overall, Ricky Racer is still showing the way, followed by Captain Schwab, Team Taser, Blue 7 Racing and Moneyshot Racing.
Lisa Las Vegas, Speedway Princess, Lil Boy^, O Racing, Disc Golfer and Flat Tires Racing each moved up at least five spots. Dropping were Glynn^, SPC Racing, CosmoD, L&M Racing and Oiler^.
This week we are back at Pocono again for the Sunoco Red Cross Pennsylvania 500. The green flag should drop at 1:18PM EST.
We will be having our midseson party next week, August 8, 2010, for the Bud at the Glen cup race at Watkins Glen. It will be held at the Wingshack at 1PM.

Week 19 Commentary
So much for all the whining about David Reutimann winning at Chalotte last year primarily due to rain. At Chicagoland, Reutimann drove past everyone and collected a well deserved victory as he took the checkers at the Lifelock 400, and no asterisk needed. Among the top drives who had a bad night were Greg Biffle and Kevin Harvick.
Chicagoland is usually a safe race for potential chase contenders as there is usually not much mixing it up up there. And that held true in the Conway NASCAR League, as there was not a lot of movement in the standings.
For the week, Punch wins for the second week in a row. Speedway Princess and Fuller's Fast Track tied for second followed by Smoke's Fury and Flat Tires.
Among those in the garage were Fitz, Team Monkey, Blood or Tears, Raising Cane and Shake & Bake Racing.
Ricky Racer continues to show the way, with Captain Schwab now second followed by Team Taser^, Blue & Racing and Team Wolf.
Moving up were Burke, Oiler^, Fuller's Fast Track and Glynn^. S&T Racing, Ratatack, Blood or Tears, Wiseguy and Raising Cane (U) fell hard.
After a week off, we head to Indianapolis Motor Speedway for the running of the Brickyard 400, Recently, we hit the 25th anniversary of Live Aid and I remember what an anticipated event it was when the cup cars ran Indy for the first time.
Certainly, even now this is a big race and one where many drivers covet a victory. Only six active drivers have won here, and those six are Jeff Gordon, Bobby Labonte, Bill Elliott, Kevin Harvick, Tony Stewart and Jimmie Johnson.
The green flag is scheduled to drop at 1:19PM EST over on ESPN.

Cup Drivers Dominate Nationwide
Got a tweet from Florida Senatorial candidate Marco Rubio (R) this morning which asks a good question:
Is it just me or isn't it wrong to let all these Sprint Cup drivers dominate the Nationwide races as well?
I think the cup drivers in the Nationwide is a good thing as competition brings out the best in everyone.
What do you think? Fire away in the comments section below.
PS: Thinking of Adam Petty, who would have been 30 today.

Week 18 Commentary
To close out the last week with the second box set at The World Center of Racing for the running of The Coke Zero 400, you just knew we would get some major shakeups int he standings, and we did.
Up front, Ricky Racer continues to lead, followed by Team Taser, Captain Schwab and Blue 7 Racing. Moneyshot jumped into fifth spot.
Elsewhere, it was yo yo central. The big gainers were Punch, S&T Racing, O Racing and Disc Golfer. It was on the down side where we saw the real movers, as the following racers lost 8 or more spots: Tank Racing Big Boy^, Lil Boy^^, The Big Lebowski, Mama's Boy, Team Cuda, Wiseguys Racing, Fullers Fast Track, Burke and Speedway Princess.
For the week, Punch and S&T tied for the win, with O Racing , Ricky Racer and Team Hot Stuff rounding out the top five scorers. Collected in the big one were Fitz Racing, Team Irish, Batson Roofing, Wiseguys Racing, Fullers Fast Track and Speedway Princess.
Please be aware the BOXES HAVE CHANGED, and your score will certainly be low if you roll this week, which puts us in Chicagoland for the running of the LifeLock 400 Saturday night. At 7:46PM EST, they will put em under green.
After Chicago, we take a week off before the cup cars hit Indianapolis for the Brickyard.

Week 17 Commentary
Everyone seemed fairly bunched up this week as Jimmie Johnson took the checkers at NHIS.
Ricky Racer has regained the lead from Team Taser, with Captain Schwab, Blue 7 and Team Wolf drafting closely.
Ricky Racer also won the week, and was followed by an eight car draft for second which included Captain Schwab, Moneyshot Racing^, 2 or 5 Race, Big^ & Lil Boy^, Glynn^, Blind Squirrel and Lisa Las Vegas.
Die Hard, Shake & Bake, Fitz and DFL were in the garage.
Offshore Gamester, Big Time and Runnin of Fumes had poor weeks while GLynn and Blind Squirrel gained over 5 spots.
As I am sure you are aware, this week we return to The World Center of Racing for the running of the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway.
The Firecracker 400 is always a great race, and was particularly neat last year as Tony Stewart punted a deserving Kyle Busch.
In honor of his 600th start, Bobby Labonte will be your Grand Marshall. They will put them under green at 7:49PM. Stand on it!
