  10. no point putting my picks up now since I'm not picking the trucks so I'll wait, lol

    for those interested, Briscoe took the pole for the Indycars with Dario alongside.

    ReplyDelete

    NW - Marcos Ambrose...probably not a surprise really, lol

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

  19. I don't like losing! CR, you better not do any better!lol

    ReplyDelete
  20. Okay... Here's the deal. In this corner you have the road race warrior from down under... M..A..R..C..O..S A..M..B..R..O..S..E!!!
    (tez, klvalus, SpeedBeagle, and CR)

    In the opposite corner you have Montreal favorite son racing on the track named after his father...
    J..A..C..Q..U..E..S V..I..L..L..E..N..E..U..V..E!!!
    (Dwindy1)

    Can the race live up to the hype???

    Can Dwindy1 withstand the onslaught of four top Lug Nuts???

    Or will an interloper (Moseby's Bad Karma or jon's Mad Max or Gene's Dirty Dancer Cousin Carl or Athen's finger pointer Joey) ruin the showdown?

    How's that for a build up? LOL

    ReplyDelete
  21. Alright I can't win with Mr Sure Thing Ambrose so I'll do a quick change to ..........

    SB's favorite: Carl-I'll-kill-Keslowski-any-chance-I-get-Edwards

    Lets go racin' boys!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Sure... Make my big build up antiquated...

    ReplyDelete
  23. tez's standings after two are correct.

    Now, let's see if I can put some drama back into this for Dwindy.

    As I see it, the Nationwide race comes down to Brad, Jacques, Marcos, Carl, and Max, BUT it's not just about who gets the win (although I am certain that moseby is pulling out all the stops for BK in hopes of getting a perfect score).

    The bigger question is how will those drivers named finish in relation to each other. Ir's going to be an interesting afternoon.

    ReplyDelete
  24. well, I'm done....will Marcos come back next year I wonder?

    ReplyDelete
  25. J..A..C..Q..U..E..S!!

    J..A..C..Q..U..E..S!!

    J..A..C..Q..U..E..S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

  26. If they keep this up it's going to get dark!

    ReplyDelete
  27. SOOOOO close, yet so far!!! Still, a great run by Mad Max, and congrats to Boris Said!

    ReplyDelete
  28. And congrats to Dwindy on his Trifecta win (according to my calculations)!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Wow! Photo finish on the track and almost one in the final standings with moseby and Dwindy fighting it out for the win. Even though Jacques finished ahead of Bad Brad, it wasn't enough to overcome moseby's two 1st place finishes in the earlier races, so...

    Congrats to moseby on his 3rd win of the season!

    The final standings:


    moseby 6
    dwindy 7
    jon 9
    klv 27
    hanny 32
    athens 37
    tez 39
    sb 56
    cr 70

  30. best race of the year....give it to it now, we're not going to see a better one in the next 12 weeks!

    ReplyDelete
  31. I wish I could have a golf as low as my 70.

    Congrats to moesby!

    ReplyDelete
  32. That was close! I had to record the ending and just checked it out before leaving... So close and yet so far away! lol

    Congrats Moseby!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Congrats, moseby! Sorry for the fuzzy math there at the end, lol.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Thanks guys! Good to get win #3 personal best.

    Nice job Dwindy - kept me sweating to the end

    ReplyDelete
  35. Woot! Way to go Moseby!

    Absolutely best race of the year so far! Clean racing, no regular Cup stars with attitudes and a photo finish. Loved it!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Nice win Mose!

    Special thanks to Kristen for taking my boy, Edwards late and totally jinxing him! X)

    ReplyDelete
  37. You gotta admit, taking Mad Max Papis was gutsy, especially considering he hadn't done squat this year! Just goes to show by putting a quality driver in quality equipment, he'll get the job done. And MAJOR props to Kevin and Delana Harvick for putting Papis in that #33 Rheem Chevrolet and having the confidence in him that he would get it done.
