Why is the Quaker State 400 at Kentucky? Shouldn't QS sponsor a race at Pocono and Kentucky have a bourbon related sponsor? :confused:

Regardless of the primary sponsor, Kentucky will host Trucks, X-Men and Cup races this weekend. Weather looks OK and with a slight chance of precip Saturday evening for the 39 entered teams. Trucks Thursday night, X-Men Friday night and Cup Saturday night.

News and Notes
  • Not much this week. Ryan Newman will drive his own team truck in the Eldora Dirt Derby next week, on the 19th.
  • Hendrick/Chase Elliott has announced an extension with long time sponsor Mountain Dew.
  • 16 teams practiced at the Charlotte Roval on Tuesday. Some did OK, other sbanged up cars and tested the spin cycle, looping their cars. The Roval will be the scene of the first playoff race, replacing Michigan.
  • No announced penaties - Not even lugnuts.
  • TV ratings - 2.7 rating and 4.4 million viewers on NBC, down 16% in ratings from 3.2, 5.4M last year and down 21% and 22% respectively from 2016. Do Dale Jrs. fans have that short an attention span?



iBoats Fantasy Live

  • FlaCowboy now has a 296 point lead over Trackchick Stars.

It's Tuesday and iFL final results day.

Indeed, we have a tie! I expected to see identical rosters, but no. FlaCowboy and justkiddin 5 both scored 287 points and took the shared crown by 2 points. Fight over this until the commission decides. LOL 🏆

Cowboy still holds the overall lead.

Cup and X-Men will be racing at New Hampshire this weekend. No Trucks because they are in the dirt at Smoke's Eldora Speedway Wednesday night.
