Yeah thats what I figured. And I knew my pics were either gonna be a homerun or a strike out. I was looking ok in the first 30 or 40 laps.

I can't take the points lead if my life depends on it apparently.....
So first off for me, the truck. I did find the race. Three radio stations, one of them A.M, I did catch most of the race.... shocked to hear that NASCAR's top plug won a race. I did comment however, that 2 of the major races this year have been won by some asshats... this is due to NASCAR's new COT that makes track position more important than a fast car. The trick is figuring out who the best asshats are each week.
Second, the truck was not what I hoped... body and interior wise, it was in good shape... the engine had a miss in it like a weak piston, and it dropped to 0 lbs oil pressure at one point on the Sunpro gauge... guy tried to tell me it was a cheap gauge from Auto Zone, but NAPA sells the same one... whats better than a Sunpro gauge? Sound like a cam bearing is worn and a cylinder isn't holding compression. Hesitation got worse the longer it ran. The hotter the oil got, the lower the oil pressure got..... good truck other than that.
As for Jerry... good job getting the preliminary things up. You made one mistake in calculations... nichols2k made 90 points ,not 80. Probably a minor math error somewhere... maybe a mistype. Also, the tiebreaker had to be invoked for 4 drivers getting 99 points....

I really crapped that one off! Like Duane said, track position was everything. Everone who cam in on the last stop took themselves out of contention. It was almost a good week for Junior. And Martin. But almost don't get you ****!
Congrats zjerry & Chris
