Yeah! Go Hamlin!

 

[Jimbo]

Yeah! Go Hamlin!

ONLY problem with Hamlin is spelled "toyota"

 

[Mr Tony]

Intersting that regardless of the system the same guys got in.

of course they would...its the same 12 guys regardless of how the points are set

The issue is some of the guys that are 200/300 points behind are all of a sudden 20 points now?

 

[Mr Tony]

Bowyer wins
Smoke runs out of gas on last lap

Jimmy 1 lap down...when he and Kyle came together it brought a tear to my eye that my 2 favorite drivers spun each other out

[Jimbo]

on a side note....get back on the Jr bandwagon

he finished 4th today

Sadly he's not very consistent and as you know Consistency is the Name of the Game with Nascar

 

[Mr Tony]

I know....I was trying to be funny

 

[Jimbo]

I know....I was trying to be funny

Hey, I think it's great that he finished 4th, was he in the thick of things all day , or make a strategic move to move up in the end ?

 

[Ramy]

Go Hamlin! Go Hamlin! It's your birthday! or is it? LOL

 

[Mr Tony]

Hey, I think it's great that he finished 4th, was he in the thick of things all day , or make a strategic move to move up in the end ?

nope he slowly moved his way up and stayed out of trouble all day

 

[Jimbo]

nope he slowly moved his way up and stayed out of trouble all day

He'll have races like that every once in a while.
Unfortunately he needs them EVERY week.
