I'll be waiting here by the freeway for the haulers to pass by. I'm guessing probably Tuesday. (just kidding) That I-35 is the pits to drive on, many bad drivers and wrecks.

Should someone start a thread for the Busch race?

Yes I am "happy" for him. They really have worked hard to get their race cars in shape, let's hope it's the beginning of something good for them.

His history at Las Vegas looks like California did before today, so maybe good things there too. See you there in two weeks.

Had to go finish mowing. It was a good race, thanks to all!!

WCG-Make sure you wash your hands before you come back. There's no telling what you'll be exposed to over at the Academy.

OK, how you'd figure that? I had 1/2/7 and 39 (I think) with about 66 laps in the lead or so. Where's that leave me? Or do I have to wait for Yahoo again?

I waffled over Biffle and finally took Martin and Edwards which was ok. Flash did me in at the end though. :(
