Week 27 Commentary

Many of us did not get a chance to see the race at Chicagoland Speedway this past week since yet another rain delay forced the flag to drop while most of us wee at work, at least hose of us lucky enough to have a job.

Tony Stewart got the win, and was able to keep his streak alive of winning at least 1 race in each of the last 12 seasons. Congrats to Smoke!'

GRR88 won the week, followed by The Big Lebowski, Punch, CF Canes and Ratatack Racing. There were not many big movers this week, with GBR88 and UrbansGators (wonder if he is aware Urban is not with ESPN before he ends up at Ohio State) gaining spots and Blue 7 and Snookbabe losing the draft.

Boy Racing Inc continues to show the way, secure int he first three spots with Mama's Boy out front. However, we certainly ask to you to keep Boy Racing Inc in your prayers as they have lost the most valuable member of their team, Mrs. Boy Racing Inc, this past week. Mrs. Hurring, wife of Big and Mother of Lil, was indeed a wonderful person and she will be missed.

This week we are in New Hampshire for the Sylvania 300 on Sunday afternoon. Ryan Newman won the pole yesterday. Green flag is scheduled to drop at about 2:15PM, but rain is the forecast once again. Good Luck

Week 26 Commentary

Racing at Richmond on a Saturday night is fun, and tempers usually flare. We saw some of that this past Saturday, particularly between Marcose Ambrose and Brian Vckers. Kasey Kahne, who is having quite a bit tof trouble bringing one home, is probably still wondering how he got wrecked twice in the first 100 laps. Kevin Harvick won the race.

GBR88 won the week, closely followed by Fullers Fast Track, Flat Tires Racing, Burke and Miss Make Shit Happen.

Flat Tires Racing, GBR88 and Fullers Fast Track, who is traveling the leaderboard in yo-yo fashion, move up several spots. WTF Racing, S&T Racing and Fitz Racing slipped several spots.

Same story different week up front. Have not take an official poll but we may switch back to the old point system next year, as it seems it is more difficult to make up spots. The Boy Racing contingent of Mama, Big and Lil remain 1-2-3, with Pamela's Pistons and The Gas Man rounding out the top five.

We are in Chicagoland this weekend for the running of the GEICO 400. Not sure if the Gecko will be in attendance, but the green flag is set to drop at 2:16PM EST on Sunday.

Keep the shiny side up!

Week 25 Commentary

Rain from Tropical Storm Lee caused quite a disturbance in the sports world over the Labor Day weekend, causing two college football games on two different days to be called short of the finish and the postponement of the AdvoCare 500 until Tuesday morning. Many us us happy to have a job were back at work and missed the event.

Jeff Gordon, who is in championship form, won the race, edging out teammate Jimmie Johnson.

Little Circle Burner won the week, followed by Burke, Blue 7 Racing, Fuller's Fast Track and The Big Lebowski.

Advancing in the standings this week were Little Circle Burner and Burke, while Speedway Princess, Team Cuda and Lisa Las Vegas took their cars to the hauler early.

This week, we are Saturday night racing as the full NFL schedule kicks off Sunday. The Wonderful Pistachios 400 at Richmond International Raceway gets underway about 7:30PM, just about the time the Seminoles and Gators are in the first quarter. Hope you have multiple televisions.

Week 24 Commentary

As seems to be case these days, a fairly uneventful Bristol Night Race saw Brad Keslowski get his first Birstol win. Brad is on fire right now.

Not sure what is making these races have less close racing action, the COT or the new tire, but when Bristol has not tmepers flaring, you know something is up. Yes, we know Kyle Busch is mad, what else is new.

Disc Golfer took the checkers, followed by Mama's Boy, Lil Boy, Big Boy and Team Collin. Gaining ground was Glynn, Blue 7 and Racing Fever. Lap traffic for the racer were Fuller Fast Track, Lisa Las Vegas, WTF Racing, GBR88 and Ratatack Racing.

Boy Racing, Inc. is dominating the league, quite simply. Mama's Boy continues to show the way, with Big Boy, Lil Boy, Pamela's Pistons and The Gas Man rounding out the top five.

The boxes have changed, which presents opportunities.

The Spring Cup Series runs Sunday evening at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend and be glad you have a job as ZERO jobs were created this past month.
