Yes, but its still early in a long race. I know I will do better than last week b/c I had Bobby and he came in last so any position is better than that.

True. There's a couple of Roush/Yates motors that will blow up because it's a 500-mile race :-/

Uh-oh. Smoke is reporting a problem with the right-front tire. Meanwhile, Flash is working on the rook for 14th.

I picked him again this week.

Slow Casey in for an unscheduled stop. Trash on the grill.

At first glance I thought you meant the BBQ Grille

Talk about stupid. I could've took Rusty (13th) instead of Rudd (41st once he turns the next lap and can't even catch the field-fillers).

For me it was either picking him again or going for Mayfield. Well Bobby is 25 and Mayfield is 29. Looks like I should've pick him again too.

I've been kicking myself for dropping Kyle Busch Friday night, but the main advice I got from a friend yesterday was go with Roush. His advice is working out very well.
