Take it Dale !!!!

A caution-free :::wowowow::::race set the stage for how this race was going to be run. A very fast and multiple-grooved racetrack made for exactly that when the NRL Sprint Cup Series rolled into the Irish Hills for Saturday's Michigan race. A special one for the ages. That is because since we were in Michigan, the league decided on running cars that highlighted the car manufacturers and their corporate headquarters that are a short ways from the racetrack. Many drivers decided to pull out some very awesome and classic cars for this race. DRR owner Dale Reynolds went and took a less-traveled route and solidified his loyalty to Chevrolet. But it is not that fact that really caught attention. The fact that caught attention was what EXACT model he ran that turned heads. Dale pulled out a 1996 Chevrolet Corsica LT, which was never used in NASCAR. Dale loves Corsica's and he made the statement known after his 2nd place finish, breaking his string of bad luck in recent races. "GM if your watching, BRING CORSICA'S BACK!" Exclaimed Dale after the race. "I don't know why you stopped making them after 1996 and that really is a shame, they are great cars and I would love to see Corsica's come back to Chevrolet's line-up. Corsica's can obviously race, seeing as how we beat out Lumina's and Monte Carlos and Toyota and Ford and Dodge with this car, so you can't say it's not a good car!" I don't know if GM heard him, but if they did, be on the lookout for a limited edition 2011 set of Chevrolet Corsica's! Ryan Moyer finished 5th in his Ferrari. Many wondered why he ran a Ferrari when DRR is Chevrolet-loyal. Dale said in an interview on Friday in the Media Center "We love Chevrolet and they understand that. They were very much understanding of the idea to run any manufactured cars this weekend, so they let us have fun with the idea and that's how Ryan was able to run his Ferrari this weekend." Ryan was strong the whole race, running 3rd until about 10 laps to go when his new best friend Kevin Kelley, once again, made a late race pass on him, this time it wasn't for the win. The even better part was that Ethan, who ran 5th the whole race, and who also could use some help trying to secure his slot in the points chase after Richmond, Ryan let Ethan pass to take 4th. One of the best overall races for DRR thus far in the season. Charlie wasn't fast enough for the A-Main track, but was also very promising this weekend. Some rumors were flying about that he might not be staying much longer at DRR due to his performance, but in the same press conference on Friday, Dale said that "His future with the team is solidified until the end of the season. I don't do long-term contracts, and if he decides he wants to do something after the season, then good luck to him. But for right now, he's with DRR until Homestead." Ethan was the mosst recent Michigan winner when he won in June. As stated before he backed up his 2nd career win with a great top 5 finish in the return trip to the Irish Hills. "The car was great all night. We just didn't have the "it" factor that really made us badfast but none the less it was a great points day. Gotta thank Ryan for letting me pass there on the last lap for some extra points going towards our chase beneficiary. The Flowmaster Chevrolet Lumina was great and solid all day." Ryan, who ran 3rd until the end of the race as stated above was happy with his outcome. "We ran a awesome race today with the Ferrari today. We were strong there on the first run but Adam just out-ran us at the start and never looked back. We were fast but Dale had the better long run car. We could have kept up with him if we had some cautions to help work on the car, but we didn't get cautions obviously so we will take the 5th place and go on to Bristol where we always run well." Excited about the run his team had, Dale said "I'm so glad we all ran well today. I would have loved to have one of us walk away with the win, but Adam was just on rails the whole race. To be honest, I'm glad I am even back here in the post-race press conference again and have run a strong 2nd place the whole race, because the past 2 races have been big disappointments. But I mean 3 of the top 5 finishers were DRR cars and that's what I'm very proud of." Adam Paulson led 174 laps of 200, easily making it look like a cake-walk. Dale Reynolds ended his bad luck streak and kept his Michigan luck alive with the 2nd place finish after leading just 2 laps. Kevin Kelley ended up 3rd in his EPR Chevrolet Camaro. Ethan Rondeau came up 4th after leading 15 laps in his Flowmaster Lumina, and Ryan Moyer in his Ferrari came out 5th. In a very un-natural way, Ryan did not manage to lead any laps today, which is very different from the driver who has the most laps led in the NRL Sprint Cup Series. Abbott took a points hit again after his retro Dale Earnhardt Sr. Lumina blew up on the first round of pit sequences. Other notables were Walt Hamrick and Brian Bennett who finished well in the top 10.

YAYA !!! So ThiZZ ....how do you feel about your impressive victory!!!

"Well I think dale described the race pretty well. I just wanted to say thanx to all the guys in my room I never got touched by another car so that was good. All around I finally had a race workout the way I wanted it to, I was able to get out to a pretty big lead on the first run and just kept the pressure on from there. Ive had great cars the last couple of weeks and this one finally came together for me.

After the race I was able to homebrew 5 gallons of indain pale ale beer so ill have to name in victory ale."

Hey Thanks Dale and CONGRATS to THIZZ and the top 5 finishers on Track A

Now over on track B.... ScoutChuck get's his first NRL career Track Win... taking a tough one...leading only 2 laps and fighting off the dominant xJew Curlsx..who led the most laps in this one. Awesome work Scout !!!!! That's the first of many for this fast improving Nuffer!! With the win...Scout added 15 bonus pts to his overall top 10 finish... and is guaranteed a track A slot at Bristol next week!!!

How does it feel Scout?!?!?!

"What can I say? Woohoo! My first league win! And I beat my team mate who led the most laps! I purposely saved my car till thirty laps, taped it up, and started shifting to third coming off the turns. It sucked up; Curls called the inside and I obliged. Third gear made the difference on the outside. Green, white, checker finish. Make 'em Cry Motorsports finished 1,2, and 5. Congrats on a good race guys.

We had two DC early - Kap on lap one and maybe techen on lap 61 (though he had damage). Yoeasy DC'd on lap 195. From Sinners on back it was Engines. Cautions made for only one green flag stop! Manuals probably would have added one more. Duration 2:08, started at 8:20 and finished at 10:28"
 LOL.... GREAT STUFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
