Week 14 Commentary

The only time Joey Logano took the checkered flag at a cup race, it was primarily due to the race being called for rain with everyone in the pits. Many felt the win was not legitimate, for the 20 Toyota had not among the leaders much of the day. On Sunday at Pocono, polesitter Logano ran strong from the get go and scored the win, the first for a polesitter om over 30 races.

For sure, this was a legitimate win, timely for Logano who is hoping to hold his seat in Joe Gibbs 20 Home Depot Toyota.

CF Canes took the CNL checkers, followed by Burke, BAHL, Team BC, Cane Racing and Lucky Penny. CF Canes, Lucky Penny, BAHL, Burke, Gas Man and Man In Black all gained sveral spots. Man In Black did this while getting locked out with last weeks box selection, rather than the change he wanted. Do you have to guess which driver finished higher?

It was a rough afternoon for several racers, a long list to be sure. No Ones Beatch, Team Cuda, Chevy Intimidators, Little Circle Burner, O Racing, Rick Racer, SPC Racing, BMF Lugnuts, Glynn^, Budah and Fitz Racing all fell five or more spots. Lisa Las Vegas regained the lead, with The Big Lebowski, North 79 Liquor, Cane Racing and Pamela's Pistons rounding out the top five. There are 22 drivers within 100 points of the lead, certainly within striking distance.

It is Fathers Day weekend, and that finds the good ole boys in Michigan for the Quicken Loans 400 at Michigan International Speedway. Speeds are very fast, but close racing is uncommon. Gas mileage is always a factor at Michigan.  Tony Stewart was fastest at today's testing session.

Qualifying is Saturday afternoon. They aim to put them under green at 1:19PM Sunday. Happy Fathers Day and Good Luck.
