GREAT FOR RUSTY! Too bad this is not one of his better tracks, everytime we went to this track he did not do good.:rolleyes

Would be nice to see him do better here! I hope him and Stewart stay away from each other.

 

[xABearx]

Congrats to Matt Kenseth for winning the Cool Million $$$ ...... Stewart finished 3rd with virtually no incidents, he raced pretty clean .... hopefully this will be a trend for the rest of the season ..... hope everyone had a great weekend .... Andy

Hello, anyone home?

 

[xABearx]

Hello ... Andy here .... stuck at work and not liking it.

 

[Jet88]

Hi Andy
Hope your day goes by quick. I guess we don't have any results from our game yet. I know I didn't do to good. I had Busch and Johnson in my picks.

 

[xABearx]

I know I didn't do well either.....I too had JJ and B Labonte and they both finished kind of low, did you see Tony's <A TITLE="Click for more information about car" STYLE="text-decoration: none; border-bottom: medium solid green;" HREF="http://search.targetwords.com/u.search?x=5977|1||||cars|AA1VDw">car</A> w/Shrek 2 on it .... it looked pretty cool under the lights.

 

[Jet88]

The car did look good. I love the way the cars look under the lights. I have to admit I fell asleep early and missed most of the race. I have a head cold and couldn't stay awake. I loved the driver introductions. I cringed when some of the fans booed some of the drivers and crews. I especially hate when they boo the pitcrews. I heard rumor had it that Tony wanted to drive in the Indy race after all but according to Jayski couldn't because of his stock car contract. There's always next year.

 

[xABearx]

Yes, he really wanted to race Indy and even suited up for it when his agent came in and told him he couldn't .... here's the article from NASCAR.com .... Andy

Sorry for the delay folks. I knew the results Saturday and started posting them but it was late and I was tired so....then yesterday I was busy all day catching up on chores I put off while my MIL was visiting. We actually had her here an extra day, her flight yesterday was cancelled around 3PM so DH had to go pick her up. I just got back from taking her to the airport for the 2nd time (she said it felt like Ground Hog day!)

Congrats to Matt Kenseth and His Killer Bees! $1 Million cool ones - nice payday!
Congrats to Big Dude on winning this week's game.

One of the advantages to playing this week is with only 24 cars the worse you could score was 24 but everyone kept it under 14 so this will help a lot of folks (myself especially). Here's how we all did:

1. Big Dude >>>>>> 6
2. Muuska >>>>>> 6.2
tie Valeriek >>>>>> 6.2
3. gdulaney >>>>>> 6.6
tie WendyZ >>>>>> 6.6
4. Penskesth1 >>>>>> 6.8
5. 2beMarried >>>>>> 7.6
tie Shoes99 >>>>>> 7.6
6. Momof2OH >>>>>> 7.8
7. Princessariel >>>>>> 8.2
tie WDWLvr >>>>>> 8.2
8. XABearX >>>>>> 9.2
9. NC Belle >>>>>> 9.4
10. Lanshark >>>>>> 9.8

[Brer_Papa]

CONGRATS BIG DUDE!!! That was some mighty fine pickin'....

darn....i took last place again....thanks a lot bill elliot ya no-show!

Oh well......

 

[Big Dude]

Wow. Thanks everyone. I think that moves me up to the Busch Series and out of the Craftsmen Truck Series. I hope there is another makeup week before the end so I could get back into the "NEXTEL CUP" Series.

Thanks ToriLammy for running this contest week after week. It is a nice diversion for me.

Update: Instead of receiving a Budweiser wristwatch from BudNascar.com, they sent me a Budweiser folding picnic table. It is very sturdy and it will be used to hold my DJ equipment at Watkins Glen this year. I like this better than the watch.

Good luck to everyone next week.

Adam aka Big Dude

 

[ValerieK]

Congrats Big Dude!

WooHoo a tie for second for me! Not bad considering I just pick off the top of my head

 

[Jet88]

Congratulations Adam

Congrats Big Dude! Way to go!!

Thanks Tori for all your hard work! I look forward to this every week. Then by the time the race starts, usually after the first crash, I'm like...who did I pick again? Is he out already?
