This week's races:

1.) The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race from Pocono, Saturday August 6; green flag drops at 1:21pm ET (entry list)

2.) The NASCAR Nationwide Series race from Iowa, Saturday August 6; green flag drops at 7:49pm ET (entry list) NOTE: Brad Keselowski will not be in the #22 for this race due to injuries from the Atlanta crash.

Good luck and let's go racing!!!

    Oh! I'm sorry Doc! I didn't notice... I was like "in the work mode, at work". Anyway, you know what they say, "great minds think alike". If you like, I'll swap Jeffy Pooh out for Ryan, or Jimmie in the Cup race. Just give me a nudge!

    ok, I just figured you'd tack that on to wheverever Denny finished since that was the race I swapped to, lol

    I presume that Vader was mad because he didn't wreck Kurt like usual....that's the only reason I can think of.
