The good news is the Elf is out of the chase!

I couldn't agree more. But the bad news is it will take a miracle for Biff to get in. He had a much better year than this.

[WestCoastGal]

Yeah he's done..

Good job by Robot and BIG wooHoo for Jr!!

I know Tony Jr was worried about them making the Chase, it's not over but that's one down.

I will say goodnight to everyone......it was a lot of fun tonight. We're a great bunch here.

[NYTexan]

Here ya go steve! Another WIN!

[vox_freedom]

>>>Boringest Bristol I can remember.

[don-o]

[NormsRevenge]

A rare triple post.

lol,,I'll make sure and buy Lotto. :-)

[fideist]

Fontana is going to be SERIOUSLY interesting.

FastKasey, Flipper, MM, and Biff all do well there.

Junior has just discovered his 1.5 mile track form.

[vox_freedom]

Thanks all, esp WestCoastGal.
Even if it wasn't the best race ever in Tennessee, it still is better than almost any Nascar venue. Bristol!

[NYTexan]

Welcome!

We have a ping list!

[vox_freedom]

Please add me or direct to where...
Thanks NYTex and great pix off the TV. Wow you are fast!

[NYTexan]

Done!
