“A longtime NASCAR official told me yesterday that Earnhardt's performance at Martinsville was as fine a run as he'd ever seen. He's been in the sport since 1948.”-Marty Smith!!

Assuming they all make the 43-car field, that means just about half will be Buschwhackers.
Something has got to be done!
My mistake, I am deleting it,,
Not sure on exact number of full-timers, 20 seems low but not sure
I saw and talked with Trueblackman at the DC protest today at Walter Reed Hospital. He was late. Normal stuff.
Anyway, I mentioned to him in front of the Motor Cycle crowd that I would see him at the NASCAR post on Sunday. The motorcycle group almost freaked out. "Hey man, you a NASCAR fan?". Kevin replied, "you bet".
I like trueblackman very much. Why? Because I start arguments with wackos then let him take over.
Thanks to you Both and All those Supporting Our Troops at Walter Reed!!!
See ya at TMS!

This will change as Q runs are still to come.
I counted 17 Buschwhackers in this week's race, including 7 planning on Buschwhacking every week; and they're all starting (Carl Edwards, one of those 7, used the top-30 points guarantee because he didn't complete a lap, while the top 4 and 9 of the top 10 starting spots are held by Buschwhackers). Going home early are Kertus Davis, Jorge Goeters and Chris Wimmer.
My "C" drivers just took 4th and 5th in practice so far. lol
Kertus Davis, Jorge Goeters
Kertus
Jorge.. Goeters?
Let's Goeter dun' :-D
And Nascar was worried about its diversity. *-)
I don't know what happened last week, I moved into 5th.. weird.
I need another 300 plus race.. I threw all the rules away this week picking muh drivers.. :-o
Kurt just took the lead....I definitely don't have him here. Hmmm

Rocket is 43rd
I also think Truex crashed or something, his computer numbers looked weird and he stayed off track until just the last couple laps running his 3rd lap now.
1/2 hour to qualifying? on Speed? Yes??
Nascar Live is on now, qualifying in one hour.
Steve Byrnes is back but his eye is still swollen.
Dang. Just as I suspected... the tach's upside down.
Back to the manual...
How did it get upside down?
BTW, you get extra points and kudos for Jr captures!!
