Ryan Newman won the race today but I was not able to find a good photo of his wife so I chose to put a picture of Danica Patrick. It is a bit of a stretch chosing Danica but there is a connection. Just stay with me. Danica drives the Go Daddy car in the Nationwide Series. Mark Martin drives the Go Daddy car in Sprint Cup. Martin drives for Hendricks Motor Sports. Hendricks provides the chasis and engines for Stewart Haas Racing which is the team that Ryan Newman drives for. So there you go. Her are the results for the week: Matt 137, Cosmo and Norb 133, Al 129, PT 127, Chuck 122, Freddy and Brian 118, Toby 113, Neil 111, Jim 92, Bauman 59. Here are the overal standings: Cosmo 2647, PT 2592, Chuck 2551, Neil 2546, Matt 2533, Brian 2478, Freddy 2464, Toby 2441, Bauman 2394, Jim 2387, Norb 2290, Al 2257. There is not a race this weekend. The next race will be on July 31 at Indy. Remember I will need your drivers by 10 pm on the Thursday before the race.

As you can see from this picture of Kyle Busch's wife, he is definitely getting the better end of the deal. Here are the results from the Kentucky race and the final segment two standings:

This week's race is at Loudon, NH on Sunday at 12:30 P.M. From now on your drivers will be due by 10 P.M. on Thursday night for every race. Even if it is a Saturday race and they hold practice on Thursday during the day. This should eliminate any confusion about when drivers are due in to me. ALSO I REALLY MEAN IT THIS TIME. IF I DON'T HAVE YOUR DRIVERS BY 10 P.M. ON THURSDAY, YOU WILL BE GIVEN YOUR DRIVERS FROM THE PREVIOUS WEEK. THEIR WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS. I WILL NO LONGER TEXT OR EMAIL YOU AT THE LAST MINUTE TO REMIND YOU. You have a week between races to pick your drivers. That is plenty of time to email, text or call in your drivers to me. Since this was the last race of segment two, the drivers will be re-grouped according to the owner's points. They will be posted on the on the blog. I will also email them to you and mail you a hard copy. I am going to implement a rule change on the driver's groups for the remainder of the year. The third group will have 13 drivers instead of 11. This should help to avoid drivers from moving back and forth between the third and fourth group. I hope this makes it easier for you to pick your driver from the fourth group. Just a reminder that the third segment has only 8 races in it.

This week's race is in Kentucky on Saturday night. This is the first ever Sprint Cup race at this track. Because of this, NASCAR is allowing the teams to do some test laps on Thursday morning before practice on Friday. Since this test is , for all practical purposes, a practice session, I WILL NEED YOUR DRIVERS BY 10 A.M. ON THURSDAY MORNING. REPEATING, I WILL NEED YOUR DRIVERS BY 10 A.M. ON THURSDAY MORNING. There was also a change in the 3rd and 4th groups. The 21 moved back down to the 4th group and the 7 moved back up to the 3rd group. This is the last race in the second segment. After the Kentucky race the driver groups will be updated for the 3rd segment. Some of you have already used a driver 5 times in this segment. The following is a list of those drivers; Al can not use the 5 or 83, Matt can not use the 24 or 38, Freddy can not use the 38, Chuck can not use the 24 or 83, Neil can not use the 24, Jim can not use the 00, Brian can not use the 38 and Bauman can not use the 16.
