BUSTER BRILLIANT AT TEXAS !!
Outlasts Osuron to Take the O’Reilly 300

13 Nuffers
got together for the O’Reilly 300 at Texas Motor Speedway last
night…..When it was over..8 Nuffers were party to and witnessed just
a Beautiful Race….with long green runs…pitting strategy and overall
top notched racing !! “
Just Brilliant !!!” said mwils…speaking of the race overall and
especially the performance of your winner…Bustersnm!!!
The EA
Servers were in a bad mood last night…forcing the NRL to split the
race early on. Through normal attrition…the NRL was able to combine
the race with 8 Nuffers remaining at lap 100…and finished the race
together. So once again…the NRL PREVAILS !!!
Ron set a
track record for Busch Cars at Texas with a KERRRRAYZEEE time of
30.100 !!!! Sno was next with a 30.266…and Buster rounded off the
top three qualifying times with a 30.300. These times are
unbelievable !!! “Man…I thought I had a good car”…said mwils…who’s
best time during prerace practice was a 30.521. Matter of Fact…8 of
the 12 Nuffers had sub 31 sec qualifying lap times !!!! These
Nuffers ain’t no joke !! “You can’t just beat the AI cars during
practice”…Mwils went on to say….”You need to demolish the AI cars in
RACE trim”…said Jeremy…”At least a half second lead over the fastest
AI Car”…. Oh wellll…..Back to the drawing board…lol

Buster has
quickly escalated his skills to that of a force to be reckoned with
in the NRL !! He put his skills on big time display last
night….taking over the race with about 60 laps to go…and holding off
a fast charging Osuron over the last 20 laps. Impressively…the
Nuffers raced under the green flag over the last 60 laps….resulting
in all Nuffers having to take their last pit under green racing
conditions. AWESOME !!!!!!! Buster (#17B)…who already pitted with
just under 50 laps to go…had enough fuel to finish the race…but was
rightfully concerned about his tires. Knowing that the field would
have to pit again….safely and methodically cruised around the track
in 3rd place…behind Jeremy and Osuron from lap
120-150…attempting to save his tires. Jeremy…who also ran a strong
race…had a dilemma…Did he have enough gas to stay out front and
finish? After several laps of close monitoring…Jeremy realized he
would have to bring the #18B car in for a splash of fuel…and get
back on the track ASAP to maintain his lead. Jeremy did go in around
lap 165..and though he was only in the pits for a short time…the
“Taxi” restrictions on pit lane speed allowed Buster to get by
Jeremy to gain the lead. Ohhhh…but prior to then…Osuron….who was
MASTERFUL as well….also had to go in. Ron…with a commanding lead…but
also having to pit… went in for a full pit under green…realizing
that the trend of the race indicated that there might not be many
cautions. Ron brought his #178 car in…knowing he would lose the
lead…but confident he would have enough time to regain the
lead…..almost did it….When Ron came out of the pit…he was about 20
seconds behind front frontrunner Buster…with 22-24 laps to go. Sure
enough…there were no more cautions……the race was gonna finish under
green...and that led to some great racing !!!Ron charged really
hard…gaining at least one second per lap on Busters…who by then was
fighting with worn tires…lol. With only 10 laps to go…Ron was less
than 10 seconds behind and picking up almost 2 secs per lap. OHHHHHH…Da
Drama………lol!! Other than a small “hiccup” trying to get around a lap
car…which probably cost Ron a second or two… the way Ron was
flying…he probably only needed 1 more lap….ahhhhh to no
avail…..Buster survived the onslaught !! WOWOWOWOW !!!!!
So Buster
breaks Jeremy’s 3 race winning streak with his BRILLIANT
victory….and will move into the top 3 in the standings. Osuron…in
his first Busch race…finished a VERY STRONG second…It won’t be long
at all for Ron to contend for the Championship if he is able to
consistently race. Ratty….:::who???:::: YES RATTY…who was able to
connect and finally get on the track…raced impressively as well…and
snuck past Jeremy at the end to take 3rd place !!
Jeremy…the Busch Series Leader through 5 faces…finished in 4th
and Mwils rounded off the top 5. Pitt Steeler…who is currently in 3rd
place in the standings…finished a strong 6th and actually
gained on Snopro…who was in 2nd place before this race.
Sno finished at the back of the pack and will lose a spot or two in
the standings.
WOOHOOOO
!!!!!!! Great Job all around Nuffers !! Exciting Stuff !!
