Another rather uneventful day of racing on the big wide Michigan International Speedway in the Irish Hills at Brooklyn, MI. Kyle Busch took the checkers, while Carl Edwards and Denny Hamlin, and those who selected them, took a hard hit in points.
WTC Racing won the week, followed by Budah, no doubt dart throwing at this point, and UrbansGators, No Ones Beatch and Ratatack.
Team Collin, Fullers Fast Track, Ratatack and UrbansGators were the big winners in the point standings this week. Miss Make Shit Happen, Cane Racing (rumored to not be on the list of 72 Nevin Shapiro) and Team Wolf joined Tank Racing; in tanking.
Mama's Boy reamins out front, but now joined by teammates Big and Lil Boy in a very formidable front leading draft set to run away formt he field. Pamela's Pistons is fourth, while The Gas Man is fifth. Laps are winding down to moutn a serious challenge for the lead, so it is time to mash the gas.
We head to Bristol this week for The Bristol Night Race, where tempers are sure to heat up as they always do at The Worlds Fastest Half Mile. This marks the 50th anniversary of Bristol Motor Speedway, and there are a slew of memorable moments, you know, racin the way it ought to be. The green flag should drop and they will put em under green at @7:43PM Saturday night.
What if I told you Kyle Busch is already torqued?

Week 22 Commentary
In the blink of an eye, they can flat tear up some equipment up at Watkins Glen. This time, it was David Ragan and David Reutimann who took wicked hits:
Prior to Dale Earnhardt losing his life at Daytona, it was at Watkins Glen where JD McDuffie got collected with Jimmy Means and crashed his Pontiac Grand Prix into the outside wall of turn 5, losing his life in 1991.
Speedway Princess and Fuller's Fast Track tied for the win. with Disc Golfer, O Racing and Chief Racing rounding out the top five.
Mama's Boy continues to lead, with Pamela's Pistons, Big Boy^ and Lil Boy^ and The Big Lebowski filing out the top five in championship points. The Gas Man, SPC Racing and Team Taser are close behind.
Steve O, Ratatack and Cane Racing fell back five spots, while Chief Racing was the only racer to gain five spots.
We had a good time at the mid season party, with 20 league members showing up. Since the race was rained out, we cut it short a bit and will continue the goings on at the year end party. Thanks to Arlyn and Brittany for taking good care of us.
This week we are up in the Irish hills of Michigan for the Pure Michigan 400. Although the speeds are high, in recent years Michigan has gotten away from producing any close racing and has become a gas mileage race.
The green flag is at approximately 1:19 over on ESPN. Stand on it!

WEEK 21 Commentary
Rain Rain go away. I talked to many of our racers who had their scores drop like the stock market this week.
Brad Keslowski, who many of us could not pull the trigger on due to his ankle injury and first practice crash, stunned us all and won at Pocono. Brad touched many of us by recognizing the troops we lost in the helicopter crash last week. Thanks Brad!
Steve O took the checkers, nipping Burke at the start finish line. Lisa Las Vegas, Punch and Speedway Princess round out the top five for Pocono.
Mama's Boy is hitting all his/her/ruff ruff marks and continues to show the way. Does anybody have anything for Boy Racing Inc? Pamela's Pistons is running hard, and Big Boy and Lil Boy, who have managed to tie their score once again (and when this happens, they go the same the rest of the way unless on the last week a move needs to be made), and The Big Lebowski round out the top five.
Speedway Princess and Lisa Las Vegas gained several spots, while Tank Racing and Smoke's Fury got caught out of the draft.
This week we are road racing up at Watkins Glen. For those who continuously wear us out about missing drivers, when Racescore adds them, we will, if we are available. We are not going to sit by the computer and wait for this to potentially happen.
Don't forget our mid season party at the Wingshack. Shawn has got some new HD screens, so viewing races has got much more user friendly. We will get started at Noon.
It might be Marcus Ambrose week?

Week 20 Commentary
Congrats to Paul Menard for winning the Brickyard 400 presented by Golden Corral.
Menard has been running strong this year, and was due to get his first win. In the past, the Brickyard has been a place for champions, with only Jamie McMurray and Kevin Harvick as past winners without a Cup Title. Jeff Grodon was charging, but Menard played it smart and held him off.
GBR88 took the CNL checkers, followed by L&M, Team Hot Stuff, MMSH and Lisa Las Vegas. Not sure if anyone had Menard.
GBR 88, Hot Tuff and MMSH gained the most spots. Meanwhile, Tank tanked, and Rataack, Speedway Princess and Chief tumbled several spots.
This week we return to Pocono for The Good Sam Insurance 500 out at Long Pond, Pennsylvania. Green flag at 1:19PM.
We have announced our midseason party will be held in two weeks at the Wingshack for the Budweiser at the Glen up at Watkins Glen. Adjust your calendars.
