Week 10 Commentary

Always some great racing at the ole Southern 500 at Darlington. The Lady in Black always throws out the red carpet for us.

Tempers continue to flare, and this time it was Kyle Busch and Kevin Harvick.



Anyhow, amongst the melee, Regan Smith got his first ever victory. Smith has been qualifying great and running good all season, so even though he is with a one car team, his victory should not have come a surprise.

While Smith was winning, several of the Conway racers were crashing. Wonder Bread Racing fell 20 spots, Snook McTanken dropped 12 and, oh yes, commissioner BAHL fell 14. I took Brian Vickers, who was running fifth when Juan Problem Montoya hit him. He regrouped up until about 15th when David Ragan turned into a can opener on him. Jeff Burton blew up and Clint Bowyer, running in the top five, got tossed in the inside retaining wall during the Busch-Harvick dust up. Hell, I was looking for a few folks in the garage area after this one.

WTC Racing won the week, with former champion Glynn in second. A photo finish for third was between Blind Squirrel, WTF Racing, former champs Big and Lil Boy and Mama's Boy.

On the heels of these strong finishes, Mama's Boy has extender the lead over SPC Racing. Team Taser, Tank Racing, Pamela's Pitson and The Gas Man round out the top five.

This week we are off to the concrete mile in Dover for our first 2011 crack at the Monster Mile. The FedEx 400 benefiting Autism Speaks i scheduled to go green at 1:15 EST on Sunday.

Keep your drivers away from mine!
