It was quite an uneventful afternoon, considering we were running door handle to door handle on The White Knuckle Highway at Talladega Superspeedway. Jamie McMuuray won the race, with Dale Earnhardt, Jr. finishing runner up.
Miss Make Shit Happen, MMSH, won the week, followed by CosmoD, Tean Taser, Eagles Nest and WTC Racing.
MMSH led the positive movers, gaining 10 spots!. Team Hot Stuff, Boris Head Racing and Double Four also gained at least five. Slim Shady Racing, DWL Racing Little Circle Burner and Chief Racing all lost at least five.
Glynn remains on point, followed by 88 AMPS. However, Pamela's Pistons mounted a charge in the high groove and jumped into third, followed by Man In Black and Smoke's Fury.
This week we hit our final short track of the year, racing Goody's Headache Relief Shot 500 at Martinsville Speedway on Sunday afternoon. The green flag is scheduled to drop at 1:43PM.
Good luck to all.

Week 31 Commentary
Brad Keselowski took the checkers at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday night as we continue to roll in the Chase.
The top five remained the same. Glynn is on point with 88AMPS, Man In Black Racing, Smokes Fury and Pamela's Pistons in pursuit.
Steve O took the win the Conway NASCAR League, followed by The Blue Deuce and Team Hot Stuff. Kingpin, Material Handlers, Blind Squirrel Racing, Glynn, Team Taser, Stroker Ace and The Big Lowski were in a logjam for fourth.
Nobody moved up or down more than three spots. That will likely not be the case this weekend as we roll into Talladega Superspeedway, where we await the big one.
Rain eliminated qualifying, but recall this is now based off practice speeds and not points. Aric Amirola, therefore, is our polesitter.
It is always a crap shoot at The White Knuckle Highway.The green flag is set to drop at 2:20PM.
Good Luck and keep the shiny side up!

Week 30 Commentary
It was an interesting afternoon at Kansas Speedway with polesitter Kevin Harvick picking up the win.
Kyle Busch had a miserable day, an weekend for that matter, in Jayhawk country. Busch held nothing back in speaking with MRN Radio, noting as reported by FOX News, the following:
"The race track is the worst race track I've ever driven on," Busch said. "The tire are the worst tires I've ever driven on and track position is everything. You can't do anything unless you're out front. You get back in traffic - Kevin Harvick (race winner) couldn't pass me - he led the first 80 laps of the race, so I'd say it's pretty pathetic."
Busch had a point, especially about Harvick, who when back in traffic had an ordinary car. Track position was huge, and many drivers had issues hanging on, including Brian Vickers, who had a big hit coming up out of turn 2.
Lisa Las Vegas won the week, followed by Pit Row legend Hog Smoke Racing, Team Cuda, WTC Racing and Pamela's Pistons.
There were very few big moves in the standings, as it is hard to climb. Lisa Las Vegas and Team Cuda did get four positions (all I have been able to climb with a 7th and 8th place finish respectively the last two weeks) and GBR88 and Lucky Penny each dropping five spots.
The top four remain the same, with former champion Glynn showing the way. 88AMPs, Man In Black Racing and Smokes Fury remain single file behind the leader, with Pamela's Pistons overtaking Ricky Racer for fifth.
PLEASE NOTE THE BOXES HAVE CHANGED FOR CHARLOTTE!!!!!!!!!
Boris Head Racing, who has been some kind of dialed in, won the segment, followed by Glynn and Ratatack Racing!
For the final box set, we can certainly expect some drama. Can Glenn hold on? Will Boy Racing Inc mount a charge? Will the running of the mouth come back to hurt the Chief? After crashing hard in Kansas, can GBR88 get back into contention? Should be fun!
We will run the Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Saturday night, the only remaining night race on the 2013 schedule. The race will be on ABC, without Brent Musburger on call, with the green flag dropping at 7:46PM.
Good Luck! The White Knuckle Highway is next!

Week 29 Commentary
Jimmie Johnson owns Dover, passing Richard Petty and Bobby Allison in career wins at the track with half the starts. With Matt Kenseth off to such a fast start in the Chase, Johnson really needed the win.
I would say the Chase is between Johnson, Kenseth and Kyle Busch, although I have a feeling Jeff Gordon may have the drive and hunger to win it.
Team Wolf won the week, followed by No Ones Beatch, Ratatack Racing, Pamela's Pistons and CF Canes, who has been hotter than UM tailback Duke Johnson in recent weeks.
Not many big movers this week. Team Wolf gained a whopping nine spots, and CF Canes Boris Head Racing and Lucky Penny did well.
In a seemingly shocking development, LuckyDog and The Gas Man had rougher weeks than their beloved Wildcats did hosting the Gators, dropping five spots. They were the only racers to drop five or more.
Glynn remains on point, with 88 AMPS, strong right out of the gate in 2013, Man In Black, Smoke's Fury and Ricky Racer in high speed pursuit.
Posted an item about FOX Racing's Steve Byrnes on our Facebook page, who has taken a leave of absence to battle cancer. We wish him all the best, and you can send well wishes to him on Twitter @SteveByrnes12.
This weekend we are in Kansas City, KA at Kansas Speedway, just west of metro KC, about the same distance west as The Harry S. Truman Sports Complex, housing the Chiefs Arrowhead and the Royals Kaufman Stadiums, are east.
Ole Five Time was fastest in practice today at Kansas, and the race will go green at 2:16PM on Sunday.
Good Luck!
