Week 36 Commentary

Glynn has defended his title and won the 2014 Conway NASCAR League championship, setting a torrid pace through much of the season.  Team Taser had a stellar season, but lost ground to Glynn down the stretch.

Congratulations to Kevin Harvick and his Stewart-Hass Racing team for winning the 2014 Sprint Cup Series Championship!  The championship is his first, and the first for his new team as he moved over to join Stewart-Haas after having been at Richard Childress for over a decade.

Kevin Harvick, 2014 Sprint Cup Champion

Ryan Newman finished second, Denny Hamlin third and Joey Logano, whose team had a miserable late pit stop, finished fourth. 

The top five finishers for 2014 in The Conway NASCAR League were Glynn, Team Taser, KDog Racing, No Ones Beatch and Smoke's Fury.

WTC Racing won the week, a consecutive win as they won last week as well.  FLYNC5 was second, Slim Shady third, Blue 7 Racing fourth and Little Circle Burner fifth.  Not too many movers, with FLYNC5 and WTC racing moving up more than three or more and Burke and CosmoD falling three or more.

JR Racing is the winner of the last segment, with 88 AMPs second and Glynn third.

The 2014 leaders for wins this year were Eagles Nest and Smoke's Fury with 4 and Team Taser, Glynn with 3.

The 2014 leaders for top fives were Glynn with 11 and Team Taser and Blind Squirrel with 9.

The 2014 leaders for top tens were Glynn with 19, and Team Taser and BAHL with 15.

It was a great year, and although we had a few folks park their car, the competition behind the top five was spirited.

We will have an awards ceremony in January, where we will down some wings and beer along with enjoying fellowship among the racers in our league.  We will also do signups for 2015 as well.

We will update the blog and our Facebook page with details about the event after the first of the year.

Enjoyed it. Stay thirsty!

Week 35 Commentary

The four drivers who will battle it out for the 2014 NASCAR Chase Championship have been set as we head to Homestead.  The four racers who will race for the title are Kevin Harvick, Ryan Newman, Joey Logano and Denny Hamlin.  None of these drivers have won the championship previously.

To get to this point, we saw Kevin Harvick won the Quicken Loans Race For Heroes 500 at Phoenix International Raceway.  Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth and Brad Keselowski ran strong, but fell short.

Ryan Newman pushed rookie Kyle Larson up against the wall to take a spot from him, giving Newman the opportunity to be in the final four.  As such, Jeff Gordon missed it by one point.  Gordon, and surprisingly nobody else, seemed peeved at Newman, with Gordon blaming Keselowski and the AAA 500 once again.

Hamlin has great success at Homestead, and is the defending race champion.  Harvick seems to feel entitled, and Newman could be the first driver to win the championship without getting a win over the season.  I'll be cheering for Logano.

WTC Racing won the week, with Jr. Racing, Mama's Boy, Lil Boy and Big Boy all tied for second.  O Racing was next.

Not too much movement this week, which was kind of odd considering what was at stake for the actual drivers.  Big Boy gained several spots on the way up, while FLYNC5 and BAHL tanked.  Yes, your commish dropped an eye popping five spots, leaving the top ten with little chance of getting back in.  Damn it Bowyer!

Unless Glenn fails to make picks, he will bring another title on home.  Team Taser sits in second. K Dog jumped No Ones Beatch swapping third and fourth. Smokes Fury is fifth.

It will all be settled on Ford Championship Weekend at Homestead-Miami Speedway.  THE CHAMPIONSHIP RACE, The Ford 400, will go green at approximately 3:16PM.

Week 34 Commentary

Jimmie Johnson won the AAA 500 at Texas, but nobody seemed to care as the action on pit road after the race made those folks at WWE jealous.

Jeff Gordon was torqued Brad Keselowski hit a hole and brushed the #24 Chevrolet which resulted in the left rear on Gordon's car going down.  Gordon confronted Keselowski on pit road, and just as things appear to have settled down, Kevin Harvick showed up and shoved Keselowski in the back.

While Harvic ran away, fisticuffs between Gordon and Keselowski ensued.  In an instant, crew members for Gordon, and Kasey Kahne, another overrated driver who spent the day wrecking his car, attacked Keselowski.

It ended with Keselowski and Gordon bloodied, while Johnson watched with enjoyment.

That sets the stage for a really wild day today at Phoenix International Raceway.

Eagles Nest won the week, followed by ME Racing, WTC Racing, MMSH and 88AMPs.

It was a tight day on the scoring grid, with only two racers going 3 spots either way.  FLYNC5 went up 3, while Fitz Racing went down three.

The top five in the standings remained the same, and Glynn looks about a lock for another championship.

No positions in the final Chase event in Homestead have been set.  It promises to be a wild day at Phoenix International Raceway as we run Quicken Loans Race For Heroes 500.  They aim to put the field under green at approximately 3:16PM

Should be fun!

Week 33 Commentary

A wild day at Martinsville culminated with Dale Earnhardt, Jr. picking up the win, his first at the famed track.  Jimmie Johnson, who owns Martinsville, had a very poor day and has not been near as strong this season.

Lisa Las Vegas easily won the week.  BAHL, BMF lugnuts and SPC Racing tied for second, with Burke fifth.

The top nine position did not change, and it looks as though Glynn will pick up a consecutive championship.

Only Mama's Boy gained over three spots.  With Boy Racing, Inc. having their drivers sitting in 18th, 23rd and 24th positions, it is safe to say they will finish at the lowest positions in their high performance history.  They are going to have to find some horsepower in their Ford stable before we head back to Daytona.

O Racing, Cosmo D, Blind Squirrel Racing, Team Hot Stuff and Slim Shady all slapped the wall.

This week we are at Texas Motor Speedway.  Matt Kenseth is our polesitter.

The green flag for the AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway drops at approximately 3:16PM.

Good Luck
