Thanks for the info. I asked my husband the same thing and he said "don't you watch racing??? He's a hired gun." I guess I don't pay attention.

I hate to see Vickers taking a provisional. I can't even swap him out. I'm at 99.6 points now, and I've got him locked in at three points below market.

[Ilikai]

boy are my guys spread out!!! I can't swap anyone out either, I am like 7 points over.

[daddyzgirl]

I attempted to switch up my guys for the first time this segment. I held on to J. Gordon and Johnson but got rid of Kahne , Vickers, and Blaney. Replaced them with Rusty, R. Gordon and Boris Said. Hoping this works...

DG, I hope that works cause I got Wallace and Said and Johnson too. but I kept Kahne and Jr. I need to leap up the standings. people are starting to talk about me and cinjoy shacking up in the basement together

[daddyzgirl]

I'm heading that way also. If this week turns out like weeks past, you may have to make a spot for me.

Here's hoping the Happy Hours speeds are a good indication of how my week may turn out. *crossing fingers*
