[Lavabe]

I held out a small win today, and gained 35 pts on the leader, bjornolf, but that's just too little gain with not much time left. I am now 230 pts behind bjornolf. Ymo had some trouble this week, and remains in third place, followed by Iowa and Lawgrad.

As for the Chase, it looks like Harvick and Bowyer are in trouble, and Blech doesn't look much better.

On to Dover!!

When I thought it couldn't get worse, it does.

They're racing in Dover!
