Results For Talladega - Geico 500

     Well at long last, here they are.  Talladega reeked havoc with everyone in both pools this week.  John and I swapped high and low scores this week also.  James and Mark switched 3rd and 4th with James now in the money spot.  Junior's chances to move on were swept away when Biffle got in his rear and sent him into the wall.  Not too happy after this, so I will cut this short and focus my attention now on the results from Martinsville.
Later, Ya'all

Results From Charlotte - Bank of America 500

   Ok the results are in, Brian is officially on the ropes as we now have 5 races to go.  Now down to 39 points, Gary is smelling the fear.  The race that was Charlotte, saw some interesting happenings.  Brad Keselowski used his car as a weapon of mass destruction and tried to get even with everyone who had wronged him over the years on the cooldown lap and in the pits, and then even to the garage.  Unfortunately, I, who do like Brads driving abilities, cannot even defend him here.  He tried to block Kenseth on a restart and when he ran him into the wall and his car got hurt too, he got mad.  Don't know what happened between him and Hamlin, but Keselowski could've seriously hurt someone the way he drove in the garage area trying to get to Hamlin.  I thought he would've been parked for the rest of the season, but Nascar screwed this one up.
   James and Mark with a good battle for who will finish in the 3rd and final money spot.  As I am falling so far back, I am almost caught up to Colleen.
   In the half pool, John still holds a slim lead over me, as Debbie keeps climbing back up.
Good luck to everyone here in Talladega today, and may Keselowski not kill your favorite driver today too!

Results From Kansas - Hollywood Casino 400

   Great end to the race last week.  Thought Kyle Larson was going to get win #1, but Joey Logano held on to take the win.  Dale Junior looked strong early on, taking the lead and holding off Kevin Harvick.  But a blown right front tire sent him hard into the wall and thus ending his shot at a win.  The saga at the front of our pool continues as Brian keeps losing ground to Gary (now only 54 points behind) and Mark (105 behind).  Six races to go, and it looks like it could go down to the wire.
   Finally, a slip up from John in the half pool.  Now it's getting good.  All the way to 6th place has a chance now.  And who would've thought, picking the 48 anywhere that Jimmie would finish 40th.  Wow.
   Everybody enjoy the race tonight on ABC at 7:30, from Charlotte!

Results From Dover - AAA 400

   Hello there Nascar Poolers.  Greetings.  Salutations.  Anyway, a little late, but here we go.  Dover, not as exciting as I was hoping it to be, the bottom four getting the boot was really no surprise.  Unfortunately, there was no real drama going into the final half of the race.  I was hoping for some Bristol beating and banging from those in danger of being eliminated, but those guys were so far out it didn't matter.  Gary continues to eat into Brians lead, as his drive for three straight league victories continues.  Mark is in 3rd, 142 out and James in 4th 160 out.
    In the half pool, John M continues to lead, and by a hefty margin.  I moved into second over Rich S.  and John M, sits in 4th.  Onward to Kansas.
   Good luck everyone next weekend.
