Hooray for a 16th place finish for Bill Elliott and the Wood Brothers!!!!

[RICHARD]

I need help (as usual....) I need real NASCAR fans to help me.


Here's my malfunction!


MM get the win on the last lap.

He gets the 5 points for leading a lap, right? I guess he does get credit for leading the last lap? Even if it's not a whole lap?

LOL, I put way too much thought into stuff like this!

I went on the NASCAR website and could not find any info....I could look in the Monday sports section and they would give the break down of who lead what laps and when---like J. Gordon 1-25, H. Sandler 25-67....., but not anymore....

Does anyone know where I can find that info?

THanks!

[Moesha]

Yes, the winner of the race gets 5 points for leading a lap, even if it is only the last lap. Lap leaders are only calculated at the start/finish line. So someone could pass the leader going into turn one and lose the lead coming out of turn four and not get credit for leading a lap. The leader of the lap is the driver leading at the start/finish line.

You can see who received 5 bonus points for leading a lap and who received 10 bonus points (5 for leading a lap and 5 more for leading the most laps) by going to NASCAR.com then go to the Standings tab and down to the Cup Results link.

Here it is for Michigan.

Edited to add that Paddocktalk.com has a NASCAR section. They will tell you the bonus points and also the number of laps led and the number of times the driver led. Here is the link for Michigan.

ENOUGH ALREADY!

God, I hate it when TV shows take a song and run it into the ground. I loved it the first time I heard it, in it's new in-CAR-nation, now it's simply annoying!

CONGRATS & Welcome back to Victory Circle ...
Don't be such a stranger.


Did'ja notice, even ole Tony wasn't too upset to be Only #2 this time.

[Moesha]

Dat was my boy!

I was driving back from Atlanta for the entire race. I started listening on lap 4 and kept finding new stations that carried it all the way home. Except until that final caution! So I missed the green, white, checker restart. Then it took me a couple more hours before I got home and could check the results online. YAY Kasey and RPM!

[kokopup]

Way to go Kasey, you drove one fine race. Richard will be proud.
Me too.

[RICHARD]

Who is gonna fess up for praying to SCJ this week!


I love road races but hate Sears Point.....I refuse to call it by the corporate name!

Too narrow for racing passes, but very good for smoke screens!

[Cincy'sMom]

You can't be upset about the King returning to Victory Lane for the first time in 10 years. Good day for The Dinger and Idiot sadler too. If only Reed hadn't broken that sway bar...

Good runs for Tony and Denny too! Will watch the race in the morning, but it was exciting on the radio!

Moe...I can't believe you didn't pull over to listen to the end of the race! (I wound...and have!!)

[aTailOf2Kitties]

Kongrats to Kasey! I quit watching with about 40 to go and was kinda bored after Mark's incident anyway.

You are a bigger person than I to admit to that!

That's what I do!

LOL since you brought it up...
I would have pulled over, but I when the caution came out, I was within a mile of my brother's house. I thought I could get it and watch the finish in HD. Of course, once I went down the hill to his house, I lost the AM signal on the radio. I was going to his house to check on his cats. I could only find one of the two of them. I did try to turn the TV on, but they had something else hooked up to it, so I couldn't view the satellite signal. I would have left, except I was searching everywhere for Linus. I never found him and was almost out of my mind with worry. They came home the next day and he had escaped by destroying the dryer vent. He is fine. But due to extenuating circumstances, I didn't get to listen to or watch the end of the race. I will be watching via TrackPass RaceView later this week while listening to Kasey's scanner.
