My performance today makes me want to use profane words.

I actually picked the winner and still ended up next to last....rest of my picks were either in the garage or had been!

Congrats to bjornolf and Miles who did VERY well with the magic roulette wheel.
On to a Saturday night cookie-cutter track, Kansas Speedway!!

Both of us have had two of those races already.
This must stop NOW!!

Now that Ragan is lined up to finish the rest of the season with Michael Waltrip Racing, perhaps we all ought to think about how often we select him.

Night racing tonight in Kansas for the SpongeBob SquarePants 400. Yep, SpongeBob SquarePants.
