Bristol results

It wasn’t easy, but between wrecks, steering gear box failures and fuel pickup problems, Toyota was kept out of Victory Lane this week. All three of the Gibbs cars took turns looking like the best of the day, but it was RCR who finished 1,2,3. Hendrick cars are still struggling this year. You know it’s bad when Junior is the best driver in your stable…just kidding. Gordon was never a factor, and Jimmie was up there most of the race, but faded like a bad tattoo late in the race.

In our pool, several people had good weeks. Brad had the best week and took home the money. Blond Dog, Jayson, Ryan, Cody and Byron all did well. And Byron did it with Kasey Kahne on his roster, that’s almost worth some bonus points. Regan had a solid week and is farther ahead of his closest competitor than he was last week. We had some unusual picks this week. Bobby Labonte was used for the second week in a row. That’s a record for this pool, and it didn’t turn out too good for Craig. And Scott went with the sentimental pick of DJ in his last points race (we’ll see if he stays retired or goes Mark Martin on us) and that didn’t turn out too good.

The next race is in Martinsville, on March 30th. You all get an Easter break, just like the Cup drivers. That’s right, your next picks are not due until Friday the 28th. Enjoy this Sunday afternoon with your wife, there’ll be no NASCAR to distract you.
