Week 20 Correspondence

It does not seem that long ago, but on Sunday Jimmie Johnson won the 19th Brickyard 400 presented by Golden Corral on Sunday.

As Punch appropriately noted, the Brickyard joins many of the other tracks in having a lower level of excitement.

CosmoD won the week, edging out WTC Racing (turning the fastest track times the last few weeks) Speedway Princess, Smoke's Fury and Blue 7 Racing.

Blue 7 Racing and GBR88 scored gains in the standings.

For our racers, this race presented the opportunity to for some racers to crash hard.  If you had cousin Carl Edwards, you did.  And if you also had Joey Logano, it was a disaster of a day. Team Cuda can attest to this, dropping a mind boggling 17 spots.  Chief and Little Circle Burner had rough days as well.

The Big Lebowski continues to show the way.  Team Taser is next,  just ahead of hard charging WTC Racing.  The Gas Man, Big Boy and Lil Boy round out the top five.

No doubt, it is time to stand on it.

We have some announcements. 

Our mid season party will be Sunday, August 5, 2012 at the Wingshack for the cup series return to Pocono.  Our party will begin at lunch time, 12:30PM.  We will do the usual, pour some beers and pound some wings.  The green flag at the tricky triangle drops a 1:19 EST.

We are exploring an exciting option for the year end party, and will keep you posted.

We have decided to place FIVE drivers, instead of the current six, in each box.  We feel this will increase the variety of driver selected, which has dropped considerably in recent seasons.  We will make sure everyone is clear on the new rules when we hit Speedweeks next February.

Look forward to seeing everyone at the party!
