Week 17 Commentary

Matt Kenseth, really on fire since moving over to Joe Gibbs Racing this season, got another win on Saturday at Kentucky Speedway.  The race was strange, with Kurt Busch causing a big crash which took out Brad Keselowski and Greg Biffle.

Off in the Georgia mountains white water rafting, somehow Burke was able to win the week. Perhaps he got a chance to consult on some picks with Bo Darville and Cledus Snow at a choke and puke up there.

Burke was followed by Glynn, ME Racing, O Racing and Team Wolf to round out the top five.

Those gaining spots included Stroker Ace, Blind Squirrel Racing, The Big Lebowski, ME Racing, CEA Special and Chief Racing, who has been on the move of late.

Steve O, CF Canes and WTC Racing had rough afternoons.

Glynn has retaken the lead, followed by Man In Black Racing, Mama's Boy, Smokes Fury and 88AMPS.

This week we return to The World Center of Racing at Daytona International Speedway for the Coke Zero 400 on Saturday night.

NSCS practices today from 4PM to 5:20PM, with Happy Hour practice from 6:35PM to 8PM. These practices will be live on SPEED TV.

Qualifying in Friday at 4PM on SPEED TV.

The Grand Marshal for the race will be the "Grown Ups 2" Stars: Adam Sandler, Kevin James and Shaquille O'Neal, formerly with the Orlando Magic and now part time consultant to the Kentucky Racing crew of Luckydog and The Gas Man. Sheryl Crow will have a pre-race concert as well.

The race is scheduled to go green on the high banks at 7:49PM.  Perhaps we will see some of you at the track, but if you cannot make it, you are covered with live coverage on TNT.

From the moment they crawl up into the turn one banking, it will be exciting.  Stand on it!
