We’re in California today. It’s been raining throughout the weekend, so weepers are a possibility, but NASCAR is on the case and has already treated the course for weepers.
\nKasey spun relatively early and broke his splitter, so he’s not a viable option.
\nJimmie has led the most laps and with his 35th place finish last week, that’s a good thing.\"\"
\nWoof hit the wall. \u00c2\u00a0JPM has blown up. \u00c2\u00a0Newman has blown up. \u00c2\u00a0The race is so-so. \u00c2\u00a0There’s something about this track that causes it to appear that they’re just riding around. \u00c2\u00a0There are clouds looming around the track with 90 laps to go. \u00c2\u00a0It seems like they’ll get it all in, or at least most of it. \u00c2\u00a0After a very exciting Daytona, this race is anti-climactic. \u00c2\u00a0It’s really looking kinda ominous. \u00c2\u00a0Right now Jimmie is in third with Big Daddy behind him and Mart Martin behind him. \u00c2\u00a0Kyle Busch is leading and Jeff Burton is behind him. \u00c2\u00a0The weather seems to be moving a bit faster now. \u00c2\u00a0Jimmie seems to be letting people pass him – possibly saving fuel. \u00c2\u00a0Big Daddy was having a problem, but he says its running fine now, but he’s in the pits for a scheduled green flag stop.<\/p>\n

Bunny is here! \u00c2\u00a0She came into town Thursday for a quick visit. \u00c2\u00a0We shopped a bit yesterday and have been watching the race today. \u00c2\u00a0I cooked a little bit – some soup (the soup I’ve been contemplating for a week) and some macaroni at Pooh’s request. \u00c2\u00a0Both are yummy. \u00c2\u00a0Clint has led some laps through the cycle of pit stops. \u00c2\u00a0 Rain is in the area now. \u00c2\u00a0So everybody is now playing beat the raindrops. \u00c2\u00a0Mark Martin just led some laps and is now pitting. \u00c2\u00a0There are 65 laps to go.<\/p>\n

BooBoo has an axle problem. \u00c2\u00a0It’s overcast, a few raindrops are falling, and the temperature has dropped. \u00c2\u00a0So now we’re all looking at strategy – though Jimmie seems to be hanging further back than is reasonable to me.<\/p>\n

Caution is out. \u00c2\u00a0There’s a shower over the speedway now. \u00c2\u00a0There’s a bigger bit of rain to the west which may be of more concern. \u00c2\u00a0Denny Hamlin was leading and he’s had to come in for gas to avoid running out, so now Scott Speed \u00c2\u00a0is leading, though he’ll need to come back in. \u00c2\u00a0 Green flag came back out and they’re running again. \u00c2\u00a0Denny just spun out. \u00c2\u00a0They’re not sure if the next rain will bypass them to the north, but its back on now. \u00c2\u00a0Keselowski just went for a ride. \u00c2\u00a0He an Reuti-Tooty have been having a bumping battle for a while. \u00c2\u00a0It’s cloudy again. \u00c2\u00a0Clint Bowyer got the free pass under the caution. \u00c2\u00a0Everybody is coming in for a stop on this caution. \u00c2\u00a024 laps to go.<\/p>\n

So,\u00c2\u00a0Jimmie Wins at Fontana!!<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0So he went from 35th place in the standings to 12th. \u00c2\u00a0We needed that. \u00c2\u00a0The race was kind of a mess – but the ending was good. Well, good for me; not so much for Happy Harvick:[quicktime]https:\/\/briari.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/harvick_post_fontana_press_conference_horseshoe-desktop.m4v[\/quicktime]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
