The C and B drivers dominated qualifying today. Most of the top tier A drivers are starting deep in the middle. Should be an interesting race on Saturday night.

I thought Burton should have tried a wave around once, but as much green flag racing as they had that probably wouldn't have worked either.
I hate having a driver that has a top 5 car and screws up in the pits and finishes a lap down.
I agree. The finish was kind of anti-climatic. Don't know why Kyle's crew chose to do 4 tires. He also had one of the fastest cars. Although he wasn't one of my drivers, I was pulling for him.
Weather not looking good for this weekend in Texas.
I hope we get qualifying in tomorrow and practice on Saturday as we will be blind on our picks this week if they don't. I hate when this happens and I don't have any data.
I can't predict anything this year anyway, crew chiefs notes, practice speeds, starting position, and history hasn't mattered at all.
Double file restarts, wave arounds, lucky dogs, pitting outside the box, speed on pit road, cut tires, brake failures, batteries, etc, etc, etc is what determines the races.
It has nothing to do with speed on the race track as they all run about the same speed within a couple of tenths and it all comes down to who screws up the least.
Well I did post it was all luck.:tex
The Kessler stated it was all luck, so I've been using the radom draw method. This way everyone will be within striking distance when the last race comes down.Quote:

Actually, we could do that on our own. Still would be limited to using any driver on the active roster only nine times and would have to keep up with our own point totals. :)
You got my vote.Quote:
