  5. Kristen...

    That track owner from Australia just walked in the door to Tony's left! He's thinkin' "Oh @#$%!" LOL!

  6. Dwindy-

    If you look at the picture, it's Tony's left side against the wall, so he either doesn't see the track owner or he's lying in wait for him.

  12. Tez here; after Dario's dismal qualy effort, I'll swap him for his teammate in Scott Dixon please, SB :)

    ReplyDelete
  13. After two complete:

    moseby 2
    CR 3
    SB 3
    Hanny 7
    jon 11
    tez 12

    Looks like everything hinges on the performances of Carl, Ryan, and Kyle this afternoon. Of course, we could see a dark horse rise to the top.

    Kristen's race schedule is finished(unless she decides to dump Joey's NNS finish for the Cup race),

  15. Thanks for the tweet SB...was at wedding all weekend!

    Home in time to swap Logano out for Carl please!

    ReplyDelete
  16. SB, your "dark horse" turned out to be a dark cloud! Will they ever install windshield wipers, and real head/tail lights on the Cup cars?

    ReplyDelete
  17. no point, CR....can't race on ovals in the wet so they won't bother with a proper stock/touring car just for road courses, lol

    ReplyDelete
  18. Okay SB I'll go with Kurt then...although I think Carl will do better! LOL

    ReplyDelete

  21. I'm going to see if I can jinx Vadar by picking him the rest of the season :P

    ReplyDelete
  22. Wow! Smoke looks very svelte!

    I'm thinking Moseby's a winner! Congrats!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Well, that was certainly exciting. At one point, there was a 3 way tie for the Trifecta win; however, fuel mileage reared it's ugly head again, and when the damage was done, moseby picked up his 3rd win of the season.

    The final standings:

    moseby 6
    CR 11
    jon 13
    kristen 15
    tez 22
    SB 26
    Hanny 28
    Dwindy 42

  24. CR says;

    Well done moseby!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Woot! Moseby has the fuel to carry him to the finish! Congrats!

    Even MORE shocking, Dwindy in LAST! Holy Moly!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Good job Moseby! Dwindy, DFL?? I'm SHOCKED! He ran out of fuel with 4 laps to go!
