Race Results - Richmond

Better watch out Kyle, you start messing with Junior nation, you could be in big trouble. Denny Hamlin led 381 laps of a 410 lap race and didn’t finish on the lead lap. What a dominating performance, but sitting on the track with a flat tire wasn’t looked at too kindly by NASCAR, they parked him for 2 laps. Mikey Waltrip got parked for the entire race, what was he thinking? I loved his brother on the TV saying “they must be hooked together or something”. Yeah, if ‘or something’ means your hot head, no talent brother is pissed and has his foot smashed to the floorboard trying to run over the 5 for cutting you off.

In our pool, Cody got his first weekly win by not picking Hamlin or Kenseth, a couple of popular picks. Not only did he win, but he moved into second place overall, just 50 points behind Regan who had his first bad week of the year. Not only did Cody win, he set the record for the most money won in a week thanks to Rob picking Kurt Busch two weeks in a row.

The next race is another Saturday night affair, this time at Darlington. The lady in black. The track too tough to tame. The track with too many nicknames. Qualifying is Friday night, you know the drill.

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.
