Ijeremy Continues Streak With Victory at Atlanta to Setup Showdown
at Dega !!!!

With his 7th
Victory of the NRL Nextel 07-08 Series, Ijeremy and his #1 Car is
now primed for the big finale at Dega next week…the final race of
the season !!! Though Front runner Abbotttazz still has a sizable
lead going to Dega, this is not a “Gimmee” for Tazz !! Ijeremy needs
a win to put the pressure on Tazz…who simply has to stay clean.

More on
that later….now…let’s congratulate Ijeremy…who really dominated the
Georgia 500…leading 210 of the 325 laps to also gain the 10 bonus
points. Jeremy’s car seemed to get stronger and stronger as the race
progressed !! With Bigmike and Abbott fighting for position behind
Jeremy…all the #1 car had to do over the final 20 laps was stay
clean and ALONE !!!...lol…
CONGRATS
JEREMY….AGAIN !!!!
8 Nuffers
showed for this one…with all eight posting sub 28.600 qualifying
times…this one had the making of a very close race. Matter of fact…7
of the 8 racers led at least 1 lap to gain bonus points !! Now
here’s the crazy part…2 of the 3 Nuffers who posted sub 28 second
laps during qualifying were gone pretty early !!! Thegift took the
pole with a whopping 27.773 lap…establishing a NEW RECORD for Nextel
Cup cars..and Snopro posted an impressive 27.933 lap. Both racers
were gone by lap 71 !?!? The remaining six Nuffers…all “Cup
Chasers”…ran strong throughout the remainder of the race until
Buster lost his engine with 25 laps to go.
The main
drama story was the continued rivalry of BigMike….who has really
come on strong…and Big Time Racer Abbotttazz…Over the past few
weeks…those two have been scratching and clawing at each
other…competing really hard!!!! Of course that aggressive racing has
caused some tense moments between the two. Abbott is trying to
finish an extremely strong season with the Cup…and Big Mike is
fighting for position and as stated before…has established himself
as a regular frontrunner over the past 10 races !!! Wellll….in this
one…with 15 laps to go…BigMike was on Abbott’s bumper….trying to get
around Tazz’s #31 car. But Abbott was not having it !! Blocking
every attempt by BigMike to get by. “You’re playing a dangerous
game” said Big Mike….getting a bit frustrated at not finding a way
around Tazz. “What do you expect?!?!” said Tazz...alluding to the
fact that there were less than 10 laps to go. BigMike finally felt
he found a seam coming out of turn 2 but Abbott tried again to close
to lane…but was too late and ended up getting spun by the Charging
#21B car of BigMike. “*&@(&^$(&@$^(“...said BigMike.....”Oh
yeah?....&*^(&@#$^(@&”” shot back Abbott…..
LOL !!!!
Fortunately
for Abbott…he survived the spin out and was able to finish in 3rd
while BigMike finished 2nd.
Now Abbott
has a challenge ahead of him….with the bitter taste of the mishap…he
has to move forward and stay focused on the task at hand. All Tazz
has to do is stay clean at Dega….and post a top 5 finish that SHOULD
slam the door on Jeremy. Now Jeremy will need a win at Dega and
Abbott to finish somewhere lower than 6th place to win
the CUP. Oooohhhh….you guys don’t wanna miss this one !!!
Mwils…in
his first race since relocating his headquarters to Texas…completed
more than 1 lap this time….lol….and finished in 4th
place…while steady man KCKevin rounded off the top 5. Both Wils and
KC gained a spot in the results after Buster…who fought with his #16
car throughout most of the final 50 laps after losing his front
toe….finally lost his engine while in 4th place. So
Buster finished in 6th place.

SO
NUFFERSSS !!!! It’s come down to the Big Finale in Dega, the UAW
Ford 500…a COT Race !!! Let’s take a look at the “saga” we will all
be watching closely…
Keep in
mind that we need to add the results from the Georgia 500 to the
current standings….so correct me if I’m wrong on these
projections…But let’s play wit em anyway!!
ABBOTT vs
JEREMY !!!
Lesseeee….After
the last race…Jeremy picked up 25 points in the overall standings so
it looks like Abbott still has a
35-40 point
lead over Jeremy….so what has to happen???
Abbott –
Just needs to stay clean….and finish with at least 155 points..or 5th
place (no laps led)..or 6th place with at least 1 lap led
to secure the Cup !!!
Jeremy –
Needs a Win AND to lead the most laps…and Abbott to finish lower
than 5th place
WOOOOOOO
!!!!!!!!
HERE WE GO
!!
Next
Saturday…Talladega…3/29/8….COT…8 PM EASTERN !!!
The ONLY
Prequalifying session for this one…if needed… will be scheduled for
SATURDAY
(3/28/8) at 7 PM.
