Bloody hell i must have had a bad un....damm!

Well, its still really close. I thought I had enough to catch Sir, but not quite.

Still not even halfway through the season yet. I see Aegis has hit a streak of bad luck, he was in first a few weeks ago. I'm sure he'll bounce back. TRD still has a bit to go to catch nyeff too.

Did someone say road course next week? Nice, that should make for some interesting racing and it should make fantasy scoring a bit more difficult.
Where is it this week?

Yep, they will be racing in Napa. Woohoo,love putting those big ole stock cars on a road course.
I have a gut feeling that someone that has never won before,will on Sunday. I think one of the "kids" will take this one.

Well i will have to take you advice on this one as some of the times i'm taking a shot in the dark when i pick my drivers.

just a reminder that this weekends race is on a road course...caution and homework are in order, some of these guys are pretty good at turning left and right and some will be in the weeds all weekend,,,,good luck

Hrmm sounds like it's going to be a tough one this week...Well i hope i get better luck than last week...

here is the lineup for this weekends race at sonoma california....hope everyone picked winners....

Not bad...with a little re-shuffling TRD Racing should be in good shape this week...

since this weeks race is on the west coast the starting time will be 3 hours later than usual...will be starting at 4pm eastern time...

Ok final tweaks done i'm ready to rock and roll...

How long we got before the race starts?

is a late race today, starts in about 2 1/2 hours, is on the west coast....i will be here when it does start

Thats cool i shall be here!!

Lets hope we have a better one this week!

it will be on a road course so should be interesting, will be harder to follow it on here than some of the recent oval tracks but i will do the best i can,as of friday they are still having confusion on the pit stop rules lets hope they can get it right this week

we have the national anthem and the fly by....almost ready to go racing!!!!

Yes ....

I'm ready to go..

One last team check then i will post it!

this weeks team toejam

Team TRD Racing....

Kenseth
Martin
Kahne
Mears

this is a road course with a lot of elevation change...the most important parts of the circuit to get right are the run down through the esses into a hairpin turn which leads onto the pit straight...this is where the most passing will be done today
