With today's win, I have now moved into second place, a few points below Miles. Note that colchar is no longer at the bottom of the table.

Next up: The Gun Political Action Committee 500 in Texas. I officially boycott commentary on THAT race.

I was a bit surprised to found out that it wasn't me at the bottom.

RECAP
So, Blech won the race at Texas Motor Speedway. He held command most of the way, but managed to re-gain the lead after a SUPER yellow pit stop with 20+ laps to go. Truex finally did well, and perhaps could have won, but managed to hold second place.

I wound up winning last week's CTN Fantasy League, and passed Miles to go into first place. No other changes in the standings occurred

Fox Sports avoided all mention of the sponsor (the political action committee that shall not be named).

So far, it's been Kenseth and Edwards all the way. Blech spun out on lap 4, breaking out the yellow (no damage). He is now racing well, making up spots.
