  1. woohoo, yeah, last place! *facepalm*

    Trucks - James "one day, I'll reward Tez's faith in me" Buescher
    F1 - Sebastian "my jinx will work eventually, dang it" Vettel

    unsure on NW at the moment...will check back in later me thinks. I'm off to Vernon for the NASCAR Canadian Tire race Saturday night. Will charge up the batteries tomorrow for the camera as I suppose you guys (and girls) might want to know how it went...first visit to an oval track and all.

    say, aren't the Indycars in Edmonton this weekend?

  2. Yes, they are. I still don't have my contacts, so all those little letters tend to run together. I will add the race to the list.

  10. CWTS.... Sauter

    NNS..... C Edwards

    F-1..... Vettel

    Picking Vettel in F-1 is like picking Kyle in the Trucks.... You're only hurting yourself if you don't. Maybe Tez could jinx Vettel by not picking him? 8)

  19. Looks like Dwindy has solved his pit crew problems as he picks up his 7th win of the season. Jayski reports that Hendrick may be looking to hire the D-man to stop the #48 team's slide.
