And so it has begun.....and the pillaging will continue along with $$$$ they should fit in well with Na$car. Will everyone wind up at Toyota? [remember the report about Newman & Penske and Toyota a few weeks back.]

Thanks to JAYSKI for the news.

What there's no shortage of is full-time teams with strong sponsors. With Toyota essentially adding six fully funded teams to the existing lineup and only 43 starting spots available each week, there are going to be some major teams missing races next year.

Jeff Burton called that situation, "very scary."

"We're going to have more cars than we have spots by a large number," he said. "And all those teams are going to be well-funded and well-equipped, and that's not going to be in the best interest of our sport."LINK to the rest....the story

Let me be the first to offer my condolences on your picks for this race :)

[WestCoastGal]

Did you notice I'm just about out of "B" drivers? I'm hanging on by the tips of my fingers. :)

My hopes of remaining in first place are tied to Bobby Labonte!

[WestCoastGal]

I forgot to mention that my first place [for the moment] is because steveegg is not playing.

[LasVegasMac]

Jr is fast today - 3rd in last practice.

Zoom...zoom...zoom.

"Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald, they don't recognize you."

LOL

[steveegg]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

[SouthTexas]

Busch boys are on.

[steveegg]

What is it, 3 or 4 cautions already.

Bow-wow trying hard for 2nd in the points, and Happy not exactly laying down and celebrating. JPM running in the top 10.

[SouthTexas]

That sure is a snazzy sweeper they have.

[steveegg]

Wonder if I could borrow it to clear the back quarter.

Surprise; caution again. Let's see if we can see that sweeper again.

[steveegg]

You knew it was inevitable; Yellers Yeley brings out caution #8.

[SouthTexas]

If Happy stays clean, he may be the only one left on the track!

[SouthTexas]

And the new boy gets booted. LOL

Welcome to the league Pablo.
