HUGE CONGRATS to Kurt Busch for driving a fine race and getting a WIN!! Great Job Kurt! Im VERY impressed! YOU sir have come a long way.

Big attaboy to JPM for drving a great race as well. He's the real deal in NASCAR. Not many thought he would be  I dont think. myself included. GREAT Job Juan!

Honorable mention to a fine 5th place finsh for oft maligned Paul Menard as well . Pauls looking better every week so far. GREAT Job as well Paul!

Yes, it would be nice if someone mentioned the driver who actually won the race this week. 

I wasn't sure what kind of season Kurt would have with the Penske team being the last survivors on Dodge Island, but it's only week 4 and he got the win so well done.

And yes, Menard is showing signs of improvement... who'da thunk it? 

Really, a very nice week for the Petty organization overall... after all the changes they went thru, maybe things are starting to gel.

Good run by Regan Smith, too... quietly getting the job done.

Kurt Busch won the race? Paul Menard was even in the race? I thought only Carl and Brad were in the race.

Since that isn't the case congrats to Kurt and to Menard.

Also interesting to note... no domination by Hendrick or affiliated teams this week, at a track where motor has traditionally been a big part of the package.  IIRR they didn't even lead a lap?

AND Even sadder note JR starts on the pole and never leads a Lap? The boy is fast when he's the only one out there

Congrats to Kurt and a HUGE HUGE atta boy for the fired Steve Addington.

WOOOHOOO!!!  There was some Miller Lite flowing Sunday night for sure!  Not only did Kurt win, but he did it on my hubby's birthday, so there was double celebration going on that night.  I couldn't be happier with Steve Addington right now.  The performance with Kurt/Steve is right on par with what I was hoping for this season.  One big thing that I've already noticed this year that was no-existent with Pat Tryson is that Steve is actually able to adjust the car during the race and make it better.  I can't even remember how many races there were last season where the car was junk and everything Pat threw at it made no change or made it worse.  This season, each time the car has been off a bit, Addington throws and adjustment at it and usually fixes the problem.  Two thumbs up for the first four races of the season, and this fan is sure looking forward to seeing what the next 32 races will bring.
