could have been a better day if it rained out, but I'll take it, good points day for me in the overall standings......

thanks Duane for the quick updates on the points every week!

You are all most certainly welcome for that! I love doing this... hence why I calcualted points at the rain delay when I knew they may not amount to anything!

And there may not be anyone who wishes it had rained more than Chris... he would have won the race, and took the Segment lead, AND put a lot of padding on his points lead.. but it wasn't meant to be.

The stats thread has been updated, and overall rundown of the season is always available here:

Congrats Space on the win. You ran away with this one. Most every one else was pretty close in points today.

...Thanks `Lou for your words/post..I appreciate 4-Sure...My picks were just lucky guesses ....Again Mother Nature was a major factor again in the outcome of another NASCAR Race... (She has so much power: )

I just guessed who I thought would run good, but they were not the driver's I wanted to win

I did not get the chance to watch or listen to the race , but I checked online this morning....

Congrat's `Chris on the overall lead & Congrat's to zJerry for his segment Lead....Until the next race.....EnJoy .

p.s. `Thanks to our NASCAR Historian `Duane for sharing his time/knowledge & dedication
with our Monte Carlo Family Members ~> 4-Sure...
================================================== =========
p.s.s. Congrat's 2 `Brad for driving while hurt ~>It was a surprise victory 2 me..

I just read about his accident & his ankle injury..., but I was hoping Joey would've won : )

How dare you wish for all that rain Chris I was SOAKED!!!! :P

Great race!!! We missed the truck race because of traffic . We caught Kevin Harvick celebrating.



The ARCA race was TERRIBLE. I think they only raced 10 laps of the 50? If that. They just had cautions after cautions, could barely complete a complete lap without someone smacking something. There was a bad wreck in turn 1 though, where someone flipped over the small wall, everyone was okay. Also I was listening to people leaving the pits, half of them sounded like they couldn't shift the car, all I heard were rev limiters hitting.

Great race, minus the rain. Although it did cool things off, it was a tad warm... I was rooting for Brad (since I was always a blue deuce fan). But I do like Harvick and Jr. when I watch. It's a shame Harvick has been having such pit troubles.

They need to stop giving Carl Edwards the choice of that last pit stall. He is a total jerk when he's pulling into the pits. Everyone has to slow their cars down, he just swerves around everyone and slams on his brakes. Then when he leaves he keeps on the inside lane forcing people to slam on their brakes to try to get to their stall. In person it shows how wild he is, he probably picks up so many spots from doing that. Someone needs to steal it from him lol.

ARCA huh? Well, I went to what was then The Winston in 2001 and right before that, anyone with a ticket could watch the ARCA race that afternoon... don't know how many laps it was, but if they ran any more than 10 consecutive green flag laps, I will kindly kiss your @$$. So it sounds like they haven't gotten a lot better.....

Oh they were terrible. But Richard Childress' grandson won, that was pretty neat.
