Just having fun.

Under the current points system:

• The winner of a race gets 175 points.
• Second through sixth each get five points less than the place before them.
• Seventh through 11th get four points less than the place before them.
• Twelfth and lower get three points less than the place before them.
• All 43 places are awarded points, unlike many other major racing series that stop giving points after certain positions.
• Drivers who lead a lap earn five bonus points.
• The driver who leads the most laps in a single race earns five additional bonus points.

My point system:

• The winner of a race gets 200 points.
• Second through sixth each get 4 points less than the place before them.
• Seventh through fifth teen get 3 points less than the place before them.
• fifth teen and lower get one points less than the place before them.
• Stop points after 35th place.
• Drivers who lead two laps earn five bonus points.
• The driver who leads the most laps in a single race earns five additional bonus points.
• Driver who acquire the lowest total pit stop time earn five bonus points.
• Most improved from the previous week earns three bonus points.

It's a sad day for the Schrader fans alright - at least we saw him have a good run in the CTS race Friday night.

[glock rocks]

yah, nbc sucks...

but hey, remember the old days when we were lucky to get any races out here in the west.

otoh, yah, nbc sucks :o)

Schrader does great on shorter tracks. I think he finished 7th or 8th in that Truck race. He has plenty of irons in the fire to keep him busy. It was really painfull watching DW continue past his prime...

[glock rocks]

that was a good interview piece with tony, huh?

[CAfraudPI]

Morning gang...Let's get ready to RRRRRRRRUMBLLLLLLE!!!!!!!!

[BushCountry]

I miss the, Here we go ,,,, bogity, bogity, bogity!

[CAfraudPI]

Yeah, I know...DW is not to nice to autograph seekers though. (In my personal experience.)

Invocation

Bless our troops and country. Amen

You know what really irritates me? Wally D.'s lack of respect for Benny Parsons ("Benny, you big dummy.") A past champion and race winner should be given due respect. Not to mention the fact that Benny is his elder!

[CAfraudPI]

I will run Rusty out of gas if that's what it takes to win the race!?!?!?!-Rusty's Crew Chief

[NormsRevenge]

Here we go!!!!!

GREEN GREEN GREEN!!!

[NormsRevenge]

Harvick stomped on it and took the lead, newman has relinquished 2nd to bill elliott in the #9 car which is reported as being fast!

[NormsRevenge]

Back from the 1st commercial break, Elliott is on Harvick's tail, newman 3rd... 11 laps down 149 to go

[glock rocks]

hey. E jr. movin north. Elliot can't pass, and Tony in 5th woo!

[BushCountry]

They weren't kidding, initial track position in this race important.

[tubebender]

I can't fathom a Foyt running last at Indy...

[glock rocks]

little E is on the march... which is interesting, because he said in the prerace he was better on the long greens... thinks he has a top 10 car.

tony in 5th at the break

hmmm.

[steveegg]

Would that be break #3 or #300? :-)

Tony's flying, and so is Jr.
