Watch for the ID's on Speed tonight - truck races live from Iowa Speedway. We'll be the ones in the Duke shirts waving at the camera!

[IowaDevil]

Well Louden was fun....all but one of my picks finished in the garage and that one was nearly last! Bad week for the ID!

[YmoBeThere]

I didn't do well either, though I didn't watch the race at all. Haven't turned on my TV at all today.

The Brickyard! Maybe I won't finish at the bottom of the table... Unlike the last two weekends.

54 laps to go: JJ has led more laps than anyone
This is the most boring race of the year.
JJ is NASCAR's equivalent of DAMN YANKEES.
Green flag pitting takes place.

[Lavabe]

48 laps to go: CAUTION: Hill stalls
JMac (leader) comes in to pits, along with 9 others. Blech is stuck in the pits. Too bad! He was racing well. Those who come in will need only one more pit stop. All the rest came in either 6 laps or 17 laps earlier.

[Lavabe]

40 laps to go: Green flag racing
JJ, JLog,, Jr, Newman, Smoke, Kenseth, KK, JPM, Truex, Hamlin
11 Edwards
12 JMac
13 KuBu
14 JG
21 Blech
23 Dinger
24 Dillon
26 Stenhouse

Fuel decisions.
Truex, Jr, Logano come in on green, get packed with fuel and 4 tires.
Logano had a FREAKIN' slow stop (18.5 seconds). THAT will hurt.
Now JPM comes in.
Edwards with 28 laps to go comes in, takes TWO tires, and gets fuel.
Most cars can last 25-30 laps between pit stops.
JJ also comes in at 27 laps to go. Slow at 17 seconds for a 4-tire stop.
Newman comes in, takes 2 tires and fuel. FAST, but he might suffer with only 2 tires.

[Lavabe]

9 laps to go... all the fuel games come to a head.
Newman, JJ, KK, Smoke, Kenseth, Jr, JG, Logano, JPM, Blech
11 Edwards
13 KuBu
15 JMac
22 Dinger
25 Stenhouse
27 Dillon

[Lavabe]

NEWMAN WINS!!
Newman, JJ, KK, Smoke, Kenseth, Jr, JG, Logano, JPM, Blech
Truex,Menard, Edwards, KuBu, JMac, Ambrose, AA, Hamlin, Harvick, Bowyer
Kes, Dinger, MM, Biff, Stenhouse, Dillon, Mears, Bayne, Reutimann, Patrick

[Lavabe]

I believe Miles won again. I lost again (3weeks in a row). 3way battle for second place.
Onward to the Tricky Triangle!

[Lavabe]

JJ takes the pole at the Tricky Triangle.

Question: How many times will we hear the phrase TRICKY TRIANGLE about this weekend's race?

[IowaDevil]

Old Ref & I will be at the Nationwide race tomorrow night right here in the Iowa cornfields - we'll wave on TV at all of you! Oh and again we will be the ones in the Duke shirts!

[Lavabe]

Boogity, boogity, boogity!! They're racing at Pocono!

Lap 1: CAUTION: Stenhouse Jr moves down into JPM on Turn 1, and JPM creams Stenhouse. Both have lots of damage. Kenseth also caught some of it, but not nearly as bad as the other two. Stenhouse into the garage.

[Lavabe]

Lap 14 of 260
Interview with Stenhouse: He'll remember that JPM caused the accident. Expect payback.
Jamie Mac with unexpected debris and an unexpected pit stop..
Lap 20 is a competition yellow.
JJ, Blech, KuBu, Newman, Biff, Edwards, Logano, Ambrose, Harvick, Bowyer
15 Smoke
Lap 14 CAUTION: Hamlin into the wall. What a dreadful year for him!

[Lavabe]

Lap 16 ALMOST everyone to the pits (2 tire stops)
JJ & Blech did not pit.
This yellow will serve as the competition caution that was scheduled at lap 20.
