I drove through the race traffic in Martinsville twice on Sunday.

I assume you didn't call any trooper a "f*(&**ing liar" on your way through.

The trooper in question wasn't in court today. His compadres said he wouldn't have written a ticket if KuBu hadn't responded in that manner. Not sure if that's the truth, since the trooper wrote the Circuit Court judge a ticket.

If I had encountered a trooper face to face, I would have dropped your name in a very nice, "Oh, I'm just up here trying to find my friend Lawgrad91," kind of way.

Well, I won the Martinsville race in terms of the Fantasy League, but it was a big win on the track for Jeff Gordon. Really pleased to see him win, even if I left him on my bench. Kenseth and JJ are now tied, thanks to a great performance for Kenseth.
Ymo might catch up to Miles, but it will be tough. I vaulted into third, but I am a big distance away from Ymo. Iowa, colchar, and LG are in a battle with me for third place.

And well, I guess I won because I decided NOT to go with ... NEWMAN! ;)

What is it about those Busch brothers and speeding tickets?

What is it about those Busch brothers and speeding tickets?

I think it's the attitude more so than anything else. What a shocker, huh.

The response, "You're a f*(&*#ing liar!" is not in that list.

That hasn't worked for me either. Good thing they've never pulled me over for speeding.

Texas race
Lap 100 of 334
Brief summary of main events:
Blech piled into the wall early, but has been able to work his way back up to 14th.
JG is in the garage, after a left front tire went down in lap 80. THAT will have a major impact on the Fantasy League race, as Miles went with JG, and 2nd place Ymo went with JJ. JG has 42nd place.
Tire issues have played a BIG role today.
Clearly, JJ has been dominating this race.

Lap 189: Caution: Oil and some debris.
Big break for Kenseth. He was at the tail end of the lead lap. He now moves up. Blech benefits, as he had short pitted last time. He will get caught up on pitting, back into the normal cycle.
Edwards had some engine issues; had a cylinder going, pitted (entered pit lane), but then pulled out. He has been looked at a 2nd time. He came in a 3rd time, and went straight to the garage.

Only Ymo now has a set of picks that doesn't have someone in the garage.

I shoulda used my last JJ...

[Lavabe]

I shoulda used my last JJ...

You are now a mere 35 points out of first place!! And Miles/glen is unable to use a number of drivers.

Meanwhile, congrats to colchar, for his picks this last week. He may very well catch me next week, and move into 3rd.

I am done using Stenhouse and JJ. No way for me to catch Miles and Ymo.

Only TWO races left, folks!!

[IowaDevil]

Only TWO races left, folks!!

I suppose that means I can't beat Miles doesn't it or even catch up to Ymo?? Oh darn!

[YmoBeThere]

Only 2 races left
