NASCAR Freak

Well, I had a busy weekend. Friday I forgot about the Busch race, Saturday I was watching a charity hockey game in Dearborn and missed the Nextel Cup race, then I was at a birthday party with my mother and missed the CTS event. So look at the links to see the results.

Sorry about not posting about the Dega race, I was under the weather and generally just tired. So here is the results for the
Dodge Charger 500,(Darlington) as well as the Busch series Diamond Hill Plywood 200 at Darlington, the CTS Dodge Ram Tough 500 at Gateway.

And also the Aaron's 499 (NNC) and the Aaron's 312 (BGN).

And here are some penalties from the Aaron's 499: Caught!

And there are also CTS penalties: More Caught!

And Kevin Lepage is put on probation as well as other penalties.

Well, I have been toying with this idea, and came to the conclusion: Let's give it a go. NOTE: nascar.com has a free race-day use of their Raceday Scanner, so give it a try. Newest entries will be on top in bold. The race is on FOX. This race is 188 laps long.

The next race will be at Darlington for BGN, NNC. The next Live Blogging race is tentively schedual for July 2nd, the Pepsi 400.
