    Dwindy-

    Kyle is not running the Nationwide race this week. If I don't get a driver change for you before the green flag, I will put you down for whoever is in the #18.

    Fianl Trifecta results will be postponed until tomorrow because the IndyCar race has been postponed until tomorrow due to rain. Meanwhile, here in my little corner of the world, the National Weather Service has put us under a freeze watch for tonight. The calendar does say May, doesn't it?????
