RACE #23 MICHIGAN


PURE JOEY at MICHIGAN



   When My picks finished 2nd(Harvick) , 3rd(Kurt Busch), 9th(Biffle and 21st(Bayne) . I thought my team would widen the gap on the Seg-2 standings. But Dirt Rat Racing 13 had a better day and closed the gap to 59 points with 3 races to go. BIGSHOW's MACHINES is 74 points back and the rest are over 100 points back. It looks like a three team race for the Seg-2 Trophy but who knows? Anything can happen on the track and the next race at Bristol will make you or break you.
   The Race at Michigan was good to most of us with Sick Pups winning this weeks race with 368 points. It was his first win this season but Sick Pups will need several wins to make the top ten before the playoffs. Da Gangsters finished in 2nd with 367 points and Dirt Rat Racing 13 finished 3rd with 363 points.
    We have a new leader in the overall standings folks! Jesus Motorsports jumped into the overall lead after LeeRacer faltered. Jesus Motorsports had their 4th consecutive 300+ finish and is now in the lead with 2,292 points. BIGSHOW's MACHINE is now in 2nd place 16 points back and the before mentioned LeeRacer is now in 3rd place, 35 back. Jack Wagon makes it 4 wide 39 points behind the leader.

RACE #22 WATKINS GLEN


Kyle Busch Finally gets Lucky at the Glen



  It was a no-brainer,I thought, to start Ambrose this week. But for some unexplained reason I didn't start Kyle Busch. Kyle was due to get the upper hand on his battle with Ambrose at the Glen. And the gods smiled on him sunday. Brad Keselowski could have spun him out several times on the last lap, but Bad Brad drove conservative and finished second. I'm sure he would not have gotten the same treatment from Busch. Ambrose on the other hand had the bad luck when his dominate car broke something in the rear suspension and caused a couple of wrecks near the end. The last bender put him out of the race. And his quest to win 3 straight at the glen ended with a tore up race car.
  In the Four Wide League it was a good week for half of the players. 14 of the 27 members finshed with 298 points or better. LeeRacer became the first 3 time winner with 321 points and second was Exit 67 with 316. Jesus Motorsports and MulderRacing tied for third with 313 points.
  With 4 races left in Seg-2 , My ShinySideUp team is in the lead but BIGSHOW'S MACHINES are only 60 points back in second. Colt Lightning is 65 back in third with LeeRacer 72 back in fourth.
   The Overall race is Four Wide with LeeRacer in the lead and Jesus Motorsports closing the gap. BIGSHOW'S MACHINES and Jack Wagon are not far back and have a good shot at catching the leader.
   Next week we go back to the Irish Hills of Michigan. Good Luck Racers!

RACE #21 POCONO


Kahne Wins at Pocono



  I basically ran with the same bunch that I started at Indy. If it wasn't for a blown tire on Jimmy Johnsons Chevy, It would have been another great day. Still 288 points was a decent showing. The big Winner this week was the Alabama Titans with a score of 317 points. He started Stewart, Logono, Newman and Ragan. 3 of them finished in the top 10 with Ragan finishing in 21st. Add 30 points in laps led bonuses, and this is why the Alabama Titans got their first win of the season. Second place was MulderRacing with 306 points and monster e racing finished 3rd with 304 points.
  My Shinysideup racing team still leads in the Seg-2 standings with BIGSHOW'S MACHINES moving into second and Colt Lightning dropped to third. In the overall race, LeeRacer holds the lead with Jesus Motorsports 11 points behind in 2nd. BIGSHOW'S MACHINES are 30 points behind in 3rd and Jack Wagon sits in 4th , 44 points back. Finally, john66 moved into 5th place overall but is 84 points back.
  Next race is watkins Glen so get your Road Course ringers set . Good Luck Racers!
