I'm kind of surprised at Jr's speed. This is a track that he usually succeeds.

 

[Patrick9999]

Marlin wasn't taking any chances at missing the race.

Nice move to put Spencer in the #49.

 

[bumpzter]

Nice move to put Spencer in the #49.

[Bucky Badger]

Way to go Kurt on a top ten start

 

[kat2220]

Really? I haven't seen anyone complain about it here yet. Or are you simply trying to stir the pot?

 

[Bucky Badger]

Or are you simply trying to stir the pot?

I concur!!!

 

[Mopardh9]

Pole means nothing staying ahead and staying out of trouble is the key thing.

 

[barelypure]

So Tony, Jeff and Jimmie. See it's all good.
As to stirring the pot I just need to look back at all the posters crying about Jimmie being a cheater. And, I have faith in my fellow posters that this issue is not dead.
