The first race this year at the Bullring. Finally a track where heat racing might make sense, but not too much sense at this level. We'll have both Cup and X-Men competing along with what usually results in plenty of temper flare-up. Friday is when it all begins with practices and Cup Qualifying. Wonder if more than 31 Cup cars can get through inspection before qualifying this week, unlike at Texas. Here is the MRN weekend schedule;
Looking at the weather forecast, the darts struck WET for a good chunk of Friday through Sunday. :blue:
The entry list has dropped back down to 39, so GhostRider will be starting 40th.

News and Notes
- The Rumor Mill was in overdrive this week when Matt Kenseth called a press conference for Wednesday. Since he's the oldest full timer in Cup, it was surmised a retirement announcement was coming. All it turned into was a new sponsor coming aboard - Circle K convenience stores. LOL
- Even Danica is looking to plan for retirement, she's 35. Sometimes I think she retired a long time ago.
- Keso Team Penalties, Appeal Part II - After sitting one race, Keso's crew chief returned to Texas during Appeal Part I. The appeal was lost. so Penske appealed to the next level and the ruling will come on April 25th. The penalties arose from failing post-race at Phoenix.
- TV ratings were flat from 2016, but down from 2015.
FlaCowboy won for the first time this year with a 55 point victory. Good job Cowboy and Slurpee away.
The overall leader is FloridaFishingNetwork with FlaCowboy edging up.
