Well it was an exciting race at Chicagoland last night. Not the hard racing exciting like you might think. It was one where you are watching to see who can get their car right before the other. Stewart clearly had the fastest car. But a little mishap on the start (missed a gear and got rear-ended) messed up his aeros but he did manage to stay near the front. After the halfway point, Buschs team got their car right and Kyle Busch left everyone behind. Which anyone knows, if you let Busch out front, you can generally kiss his ass goodbye. Nobody really challenged Busch except Reutimann but he just couldn't quite catch back up before the race ended. Well that makes 5 wins in the Nationwide for Busch this season. 13th win for JGR this season.

Well here are the points standings:

1) Deifan: 2776+109= 2885 (18)
2) Jokul: 2633+138= 2771 (9)
3) Blizz: 2235+115= 2350 (16)
4) Phalcon: 2169+151= 2320 (7)
5) Silver S: 2082
6) (+1) Loki: 1865+195= 2060 (1)
7) (-1) Rose: 1972
8) Matt: 1415
9) Windy: 1034+115= 1149 (16)
10) Ray: 539+195= 734 (1)

Congrats to all.

BOOGITY! BOOGITY! BOOGITY!

Oh my! It looks like my boy Kyle did it again. And (though I could be mistaken) I think this might move me up to 3rd place ahead of Blizzy. Maybe. Hopefully!

Well after another race dominated by Kyle Busch (but almost lost at the end to Jimmie Johnson) he wins again. He is having a dream season (even he said so) that all hope for. It was one of those races where some were good and others just couldn't get their car to do a damn thing right. So now Kyle Busch joins the short list of winners at Chicagoland. Here are the points standing now:

(Actually Ray, you did better than moving up to 3rd.)

1) Deifan: 3111+155= 3266 (16)
2) (+2) Ray: 3025+235= 3260 (1)
3) (-1) Phalcon: 3072+180= 3252 (5)
4) (-1)Blizz: 3050+92= 3142 (32)
5) Rose: 2974+135= 3109 (16)
6) (+1) Loki: 2701+225= 2926 (1)
7) (-1) Jokul: 2757+145= 2902 (16)
8) Silver: 2593+195= 2788 (4)
9) (+1)Matt: 2532+205= 2737 (2)
10) (-1) Windy: 2580+135= 2732 (11)
11) Diva: 1545+142= 1687 (8)
12) Bluemonick: 129+205= 334 (2)

Congrats to all!

*I will see you next week for the Nationwide race only. Sprint will return in two weeks for one of my favorite races, the Allstate 400 at The Brickyard in Indianapolis. The Nationwide race will be Missouri-Illinois Dodge Dealers 250 at Gateway International Raceway. See y'all then.*
