This week's starting lineup:
Dwindy jon Bev CR SB tez moseby kristen Hanny

The races:

1.) The NASCAR Nationwide Series race from Darlington Friday, May 6th: green flag drops at 7:42pm ET. (NASCAR.com says entry list does not exist)

2.) The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race from Darlington Saturday, May 7th; green flag drops at 7:44pm ET.

3.) The F1 Turkish Grand Prix from Istanbul Sunday, May 8th; green flag drops at 8am ET.

And for those of you who prefer racing with a little less horsepower there is a little thing called the Kentucky Derby this weekend.

Good luck and let's go racing.

  5. the Kentucky what? Only horse race that matters is the Melbourne Cup, every Australian knows that ;)

    NW - Carl "watch me use Ricky to shove Kyle out of my way this week" Edwards
    Cup - Kyle "watch me use Joey to get payback on Carl for the NW race" Busch
    F1 - Jenson "I don't waste my tyres like everyone else" Button

    for those interested, people on youtube are putting up the V8 Supercars and the British Touring Car races, full length, a couple days after they air. This is good news as you don't have to wait a week for the V8's on Speed and until December for the BTCC :D

    Looks like dwindy is on track to make it two in a row.

    Moseby- I didn't realize you had picked Joey Logano for the NW race until it was too late to make a change. I gave you credit for Denny Hamlin's finish since he was in the #20 this week.

  14. Close Trifecta this week. What a finish in the Cup race! Tuesday should be an interesting day, with possible dunce hats being handed out by NASCAR...

    I'd like to thank Ryan Newman for being the best finishing Cup driver this week. ...and of course SpeedBeagle for putting this up, week after week, without the aid of eyesight!
