What really made Wilkesboro famous.

I’m assuming that none of the leagues pick this week. Is that correct?

The trucks race, if you're in any truck leagues you pick.

chunks off the track were coming up in the lower level races wednesday night.
hey nascar, why doesn't the NHL play their All star game on a high school rink with a crappy ice surface?
because a bad playing surface would put on a bad show and may cause interruptions in the event.
those nascar boys are geniuses for spending money on everything except fixing the track surface..

I was wondering the same thing myself about the track surface last weekend when Blaney was talking about it. Doesn't seem to make much sense.

if you read this weeks email and saw there was a race for prizes put on by Darren for the All star race...
hold on before entering. the groups of drivers is all messed up.
i let him know as of 740pm eastern. friday night.
he's going to have to change a bunch of drivers and add some.

UPDATE -- ALL GOOD NOW

Not sure the heat races were a lot of help determing who will be good In the All Star Race! Wet tires vs dry— not the same for each group. Glad we don’t have to make picks for most of our leagues! Hard to pass for sure!

For $1,000,000 dollars on a short track that was a boring, disgusting race. The commercials were more entertainment than the racing. (My opinion)

remember the old wide world of sports figure 8 racing? lets try that next year. it'd have to be more exciting as last night.

It sort of reminded me of a funeral procession to the cemetery-Hearse out front and people trying to figure out how to lineup behind it at the start.
Yup a figure 8 race would be far more exciting.
Maybe Dale Jr. could promote one in the back hills of Tenn. and it could commemorate the old moonshiners( the original NASCAR drivers) and every driver would have to drink 8 0z of moonshine before the start and another 4 0z at the first caution. Jack Daniels could sponsor it.

I fell asleep before the race ended. I never do that!
