Once again Tony shows his class with a tasteless comment about Greg.

[NormsRevenge]

Biffle returns a gentler comment.. says smoke likes to put guys into the wall..


No love lost there.. I bet those poker games are fun. ;-)

[winodog]

I notice Jeff did not get his car to the trophy presentation. Usually they make a big deal about that.

[tubebender]

Thanks for hanging in here Norm.

And thanks to WCG for posting the thread.

See y'all next week...

[NormsRevenge]

Thanks WCG for the thread !

and Thanks to ya'all for swinging by ..

Onto Race #7 at HOTlanta !!

[NormsRevenge]

Thanks Tork and the rest of the FR pit crew

[NormsRevenge]

somehow managed a 6 11 16 22 in the FRFL

[B4Ranch]

Time was short today it looked like.

[B4Ranch]

Enjoy dinner See you next week.

[tubebender]

The BDs had a more typical day...36 - 28 - 11 - 3

Unnnngh!!!

[NYTexan]

Even worse for the Armadillo Wreckers:

10 19 26 36 Yark!

Catch ya'll next week!

[Andy from Beaverton]

Isn't Gordon's record one win in every six races?

[tubebender]

I think he has had 71 wins so X six would be = 426 races ?

[LasVegasMac]

WCG, howdy and thanks for the ping.

What did you think of the race?

DJ gets taken out again. Sadler, too. With Jr.!!!!

Who was that that bumped Jr to start the whole thing?

Do you get the In Car cable package? Jr was in rare form today. Some choice words for his pit crew and the driver of the #97 car.

The in-car stuff - Jr is ALWAYS channel 3 - every week. For a while that used to piss me off, he was always on. Used to. Don't get me wrong, I don't 'dislike' Jr.

DJ is on, umm...maybe half the time. I "had" to go to Jr's channel anyway, my son. But I soon learned that Jr was fun to follow. Some drivers talk, some don't. Some talk a lot, like Jr. You never know the boy is going to say - and he is never at a loss for words.

Then it got to the point that if DJ was not on in-car, I was in Jr's car. Today was classic stuff.

I need to figure out how to record it.

Too funny what Smoke was saying about Biffle after the race - "I play poker with him all the time in the trailer, but if he was here right now I'd strangle him.."

More of the final 10 races need to be short track races.

Not bad today, not bad.

LVM

[GRRRRR]

Yeah, that would be an approx average....11 years x 36 races per year = one win per 5.4 races...that's making the expectation that every year there were 36 races...which there weren't...so I would say we're very close to that...pretty impressive considering we don't have Thurs, FRI and Sat racing like The King did...

[WestCoastGal]

Thanks that was a great story. Imagine the thrill he got putting Dale's car on the pole!
