Week 16 Commentary

Out in wine country, tempers can run high. You just hope it does not involve one of your drivers. Did you hear me Tony!

So much for climbing up the leader board, but while I crashed and burned, others flourished with a strong set of racer selections. Dr. Jerry Punch led the way, Followed by The Big Lebowski, WTC Racing, Glynn^ and Ratatack.

Those strongly advancing positions after Sonoma were Ratatack, Ron Dog Racing, Punch and Little Circle Burner. Running off the course were Team BC, CosmoD and Steve O.

The top three spots remain the same. Mama's Boy ( a real dog ), SPC and Pamela's Pistons hold steady while The Big Lebowski and WTC Racing enter the top five.

This week, the boys are back in town for the Firecracker 400, now known as The Coke Zero 400. The Grand Marshal giving the command to start engines will be Florida State Seminole Head Football Coach Jimbo Fisher.

They will cut em loose on the high banks under green Saturday night at 7:48 PM.

See you there, Go 'Noles and ride it high and let it fly!

Jeff Gordon ran strong and won the 5 Hour Energy 500 at Pocono. It was a clean race to be sure.

GBR88 to the CNL checkers, followed by Big Time Racing, Fitz Racing, Ratatack and Money Shot Racing.

Moving up were Money Shot, Speedway Princess, GBR88 and Ratatack, Sliding down the leaderboard were Snook McTanken, Runnin on Fumes and Racing Fever.

This week we head up to the Irish Hills of Michigan, where we find high speeds and potential gas mileage issues.

I suspect Dale, Jr. will be the car to beat.

Week 13 Commentary

The STP 400 at Kansas Speedway once again had gas mileage play a significant role.

Not surprisingly, the most exciting story of the weekend was Richard Childress smacking around Kyle Busch after Friday evenings Camping World Truck Series race.

Brad Kesolowski, who very few if anyone selected, won the cup race.

Ratatack and The Big Lebowski tied for the CNL win. They were closely followed by Wonder Bread Racing, Burke, Hot Stuff Racing and Team Collin.

Mama's Boy continues to lead the way. SPC Racing remains in second, with Big Boy, Lil Boy and Team Taser rounding out the top five.

Ratatack was the only driver to gain over five spots this week. BAHL and Lisa Las Vegas lost over five.

This week, we are up to Pocono for the first of two summer races up there. TNT will take over race coverage, so be advised about that.

While Boy Racing Inc. is tearing up the league this year, their team could certainly use your prayers as a member is fighting some health issues.

Good Luck at the tricky triangle.

Kevin Harvick, who rarely saw the leaders all day in the Coca Cola 600, showed up at the finish line first after Dale Earnhardt Jr. ran out of Sunoco fuel a couple of hundred yards before the stripe. Junior was the second National Guard sponsored race team to falter just before the checkers, following an heart braking crash for rookie Indy car racer JR Hillibrand at Indianapolis.

Speedway Princess took the league checkers, followed by BMF Lugnuts, Miss Make Shit Happen, Man In Black and Captain Schwab.

Mama's Boy is out to what looks like a dominating lead, with the Tampa contingent of SPC Racing and Team Taser, and teammates Big and Lil Boy rounding out the top five. The Boy Racing Ford team and the new engine are definitely firing on all cylinders.

Please note, the boxes have changed!!!!!!!!! Big Boy and Little Boy tied for segment 2 winner.

Off to Kansas this week, and although this is not the most exciting of tracks, it is important points wise for all. No time like the present to put the hammer down!
