SIR ABBOTTTAZZ
MOVES IN
POSITION TO DEFEND NEXTEL TITLE
Gets a Big Win
at Texas
The Samsung 500
in Cup Race Number 8!!!
Holds slim 3
Point lead over DaleReynolds!!
Can
it get any more exciting Nuffers???? Anymore tense??
Ya
Boyyyyy...... with just 2 races to go... we have at least 3 Nuffers
still in the running for the NRL's 2008 Nextel Cup. Also be mindful
that this may be the last Nextel Cup ...as we are changing over to
the Sprint Cup in 2009.
So who will
take the CUP???
Though many
are deserving.... the CUP will only go to the top dawg...lol... and
with 3 Nuffers only 70 pts apart.... ohhhhh.... not to mention that
the top 2...Abbott and Dale are a mere 3 points apart.... these
final 2 races are gonna be tension filled nail biters FOSHO !!!
How did we get
here??? Just last week DaleReynolds... Nextel's Number 1 ranked
Nuffer in the Nextel Series before the Samsun 500 in Texas this past
weekend.... sported what seemed to be a decent 58 point lead over
Defending Champ Abbotttazz. But Abbotttazz... who has now taken over
as the TOP Ranked Nuffer... Mastered the field at Texas... leading
191 of the 334 laps while cruising to victory lane!! AWESOME Job
ABBOTT !!!!
The Samsung
500 was a WONDE RFULLY
run contest with 14 Nuffers battling strong. The first 100 laps only
saw a few cautions and we even had a complete fuel run with all
Nuffers safely getting in and out of the pits with just over 100
laps to go!!! Many Nuffers took damage during those first 100
laps...including Chase Leader DaleReynolds... who got spun by New
Record Holder Platinum. That damage put Dale behind the eight
ball for the remainder of the race....fighting a red engine and
understanding he just needed to "Chug" around the track and try to
get a decent finish. Dale..... you should be very proud of you hard
work man !! Ya Nuffers.... Dale worked hard and got a top 10
finish!!! That's MAJOR.... cause Abbott put it on us yawl!! As
stated before... Abbott lead the most laps to gain an important 10
points to go with his 185 points for the win!! Abbott erased Dales
58 point lead...gaining 61 on Dale with his GREAT performance!!!
Though the
Dale-Abbott "saga" remains the most intriguing drama of the
series.... we also can't overlook TheGift.... who also fought
serious damage and like the great racer he is... Gift still managed
a 5th place finish...and is now only 62 points behind Abbott !!!
TheGift has to be encouraged by Abbott's great feat... as Abbott was
58 pts behind before the Texas Race. YUP GIFT... you are VERY MUCH
in it dawg!!! With 2 races to go... you can even split it
up...lol... get 30-40 points next week... then finish it off at the
Homestead Finale !!!
Therezzzz More
Nuffers !!!! YA.... Mwils1...Dats me.... had the nerve to know what
he was doing a lil bit during the race...lol. With 7th ranked
DueceyDu and Bustersnm...ranked 5th... heavily breathing down 4th
ranked Mwils' back as the 3 fight for 4th and 5th place.... DueceyDu
got off the block STRONG... taking care of his car throughout most of
the first half.... and led laps early to secure his 5 bonus points
and put the pressure on Mwils1. At the time...Mwils1 was doing ok...
dealing with some damage and hovering around 9th-10th... he...ok..I decided to
make my move with 80 laps to go. The field had just completed a
fuel run, resulting in Mwils1 going down a lap. But a caution
finally came out with 60 to go... and the entire field went
in...except for Mwils1... who as a result of staying out... was able
to get a lucky dawg.... WOOHOO !!!! Not only that... but within a 10
laps.... anudda caution came out.... and guess what Mwils
did....lol. YUP... he stayed out while the leaders went in.... Lo
and Behold .... Mwils found himself out front,...which earned him 5
IMPORTANT points to balance Duecey. Now his task was to just finish
ahead of Duecey and Buster to hold 4th place in the standings.
AND THAT HE DID !!!.... well... almost...lol. MAJOR FUN YAWLLL!!!
How bout BU STERSNM.....
who got in some good racing during the week....something he had been
missing over the first 6 races of the Chase. And Boy did that pay
off !!! Buster was in TOP Form on Saturday.... racing hard and
strong ... posting a second place finish Abbott and just like
dat.... Buster is in the running for a top 5 finish in the Series!!
Ohhh... But Dueceydu ain't gonna just let Buster sneak by him....
Duecey has been extra strong.... lately and has really found a nice
rhythm as we close out the season.
Your 3rd place
finisher was BIG MIKE !!!! YA Mike has also been rolling
pretty good lately...following up a Cup Win at Lowes with this
performance at Texas. Awesome Mike !!
OK OK....Ahs
almost done..... C an't
leave without giving it up to Nuff Newcomer Platinum Pigeon.... who
has etched his name in the NRL record books...at least for
now...lol... setting a lap record for COT with a sterling 29.812
qualifying time. Platinum lost connection at lap 156 but he did lead
8 laps to earn 5 bonus points while finishing 12th.
Also give it
up to IPC BillyT hekid...
racing in his first NRL race... The Kid also dealt with early damage
and eventually fell out of the race at alp 203. But Billy raced very
clean and earned much respect from the NRL vets. After we lost
Billy...I heard several Nuffers compliment him on his great work on
the track!!!
