It was a rough evening at Richmond International Raceway.
While Joey Logano, who freely admits he has been junk at RIR his entire career, won the race, it was an evil evening for many. That list included Jimmie Johnson, Clint Bowyer and Tony Stewart, who usually dominates at Richmond, where he collected his first career victory.
ORacing won the week, followed by Cosmo, Chief Racing, Burke and No Ones Beatch.
Gaining positions were ORacing, Boris head Racing, The Blue Deuce, Chief Racing, Ricky Racer and Daily Habit. Into the wall with tire issues were OShea Racing, Mama's Boy, Team Wolf, Lil Boy, Team Hot Stuff, Pup N Suds and BAHL, who finished shotgun on the field looking for golf balls at the Wingshack charity golf tournament.
Team Taser continues to show the way. No Ones Beatch, Glynn, Burke and Man In Black Racing round out the top five.
This week we hit the old Indian burial ground at Talladega Superspeedway in Sweet Home Alabama as we run the Aaron's 499 on Sunday afternoon. It will be wild, with the green flag scheduled to drop at approximately 1:20PM.
Stand On It!

Week 8 Commentary
The Lady in Black left her mark on a number of racers Saturday night, but Kevin Harvick negotiated the track too tough to tame and bright home the checkered flag passing Jimmie Johnson to get the win.
In the Conway NASCAR League, Smokes Fury won the week. Cosmo D was second, followed by Pamela's Pistons, Lisa Las Vegas and No Ones Beatch.
While many of our racers lost ground, a handful of our race teams had a dismal evening. Among those were Ricky Racer, The Blue Deuce, Luckydog and 88AMPS.
There were driver who edged upward, but Smokes Fury, Cosmo D and Fitz Racing are noted as having scored big moves.
Team Taser continues to show the way, followed by Glynn, No Ones Beatch, Man In Black Racing and Burke.
It is Easter weekend, so we know the good ole boys will not be racing on Sunday. In recent years, we have run on Saturday evening before Easter, but that will not be the case this year.
The next points race is a week from Saturday, April 26th, at Richmond International Raceway. The Toyota Owners 400 is set to go green at 7:14 PM of FOX.
By the way, ratings have been very poor for NASCAR this season. Maybe the slew of young drivers, eliminating rides for many of the longtime favorites, is not as popular as NASCAR thinks.
Happy Easter and we will see you at RIR.

Week 7 Commentary
I will say it has been an interesting season so far.
The rain delayed Duck Commander 500, run Monday afternoon, was no exception. Heck, even jet dryers damaged some cars with air as the field went green under caution while work continued on the track.
Dale Earnhardt Jr., who many of our racers had, made an error regarding rare conditions, crashed the car, caught on fire and finished shotgun on the field. His goings on damaged Jimmie Johnson as well. Kevin Harvick, newly positioned over at Stewart Hass, looks like wreckers or checkers so far in 2014.
Joey Logano, who has been strong so far this season, collected his fourth all time win and first of 2014, taking the checkered flag at Texas Motor Speedway.
With most of us at work, I suspect few saw the race. I caught much of it on radio, and have come to one conclusion.
While the lovely Wendy Venturini does fine work reporting from pit road, the gang over at Performance Racing Network, who had coverage of the race, fails miserably to cover the action as well as Motor Racing Network. It got painful to listen as some points.
The Blue Deuce won the week, followed by Burke, Luckydog ( who was pining for a good run), O Racing and 88 AMPS.
Moving up were Burke and Luckydog, The Blue Deuce, Cosmo, ORacing and Team Hot Stuff. Several tumbled, inclusive of Eagles Nest, Punch, Chief Racing UFW, ME Racing, Big Boy, Fitz Racing, CF Canes, Ricky Racer and Team Wolf.
Team Taser continues to show the way, with Glynn, Burke, Man In Black and 88AMPS rounding out the top five.
We had two teams roll picks, and we will eliminate duplicates and re-adjust the point totals. The above commentary addresses the scores as adjusted.
This week we go Saturday night racing at Darlington Raceway, the track to tough to tame, as we run the Bojangles' Southern 500. A classic to be sure, the Lady in Black will be a handful for these drivers. The field is scheduled to go green at 6:45PM, so get those picks in.
Good Luck to all.
