BTW in MW's interview before he went to qualify he was praising the tires and how good they are........I'm sure the tires had nothing to do with his wreck, but he needs to stop kissing up to sponsors all the time. I think from what I just read on another board that's what annoys people.

[NYTexan]

Darth Vader, is that you?

[WestCoastGal]

Kicking myself for benching Stremme, I just didn't want to use him up.........."C" group sucks.

[WestCoastGal]

Sad that he doesn't have sponsors.

Based on how he qualified I can see why.

I wonder why he switched manufacturers? Seems to me he did fairly well last year for a one car team.

[WestCoastGal]

Sorenson almost says howdy do to the wall.

[NYTexan]

Don't care much for crash. He's taken out too many of my drivers and cost me many points!

[NYTexan]

That may cost ya!

I'm 3 spots ahead in the other leagues at 8 & 4.

But lady luck may fail me once again!

[WestCoastGal]

[NYTexan]

ROTFL!

Yark!

[tubebender]

Tars is gonna cost us all dearly Sunday. High score could be 222...

[WestCoastGal]

[NYTexan]

That and more pit stops with the smaller fuel cells.

[steveegg]

I hope Mikey kept his day job...

In about 4 races, he'll be a 1-car operation after the Big Brown Truck runs out of past-champ provisionals.

[WestCoastGal]

Looseapalooza for Flash 27th for now.

[NYTexan]

Been there, done that.

[NYTexan]

Ragan not that good either!

[WestCoastGal]

OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO ..............we'll never hear the end of it 2nd for JPM for now.

Maybe John Pablo will take his teammates out. They're all up front. I just don't like Juan.

[NYTexan]
