Well, overall I wasn’t too far off. Greg Biffle dropping his transmission late in the race most certainly didn’t help my causes, nor did a last minute change Friday morning, in which I swapped out Ryan Newman and Kyle Busch as my race winners. I was hoping that Newman could get his laps back there at the end and salvage a decent finish, but alas, it just wasn’t meant to be.

Tim, I like what you have done with the blogroll, with the nbft ID. I will try that myself, and I hope the other group bloggers do so as well.
Yeah, I actually meant to point that out when I did my “Changes at DYN” bit over at NBFT. Glad ya liked it, and yeah, that’d be cool if some of the others followed suit.
