    What a great race, I could use a trash bag to suffocate this Earnhardt fan next to me. Well he wins $340 in a pool if the clod wins.

    how he finished 3rd, I'll never know. BUT seeing Logano pull that restart and win is awesome.

    I think he pretty much summed it up in the post race interview....he messed up on the restart.

    January was sloe for me and it was a longer month. February has picked up for me. I'm gonna try taking some resets in march and see what happens. I'll stay out about 26 days and see what happens.

    How many of you guys talk to dispatch by phone? Is it easier for you than Qualcomm? Faster? More personal? I have only talked through Qualcomm since going solo. My trainer called on the phone every day saying he got better results by talking with them rather than trying to explain over QC... what do you do?

    I'll ask them if I should call them, if they won't reply. They quickly respond to me then. This as@ woman has called me twice. But hey, you call me, it's kinda like talking to a fish. Really.

    I was driving and heard the last 20 laps on the radio. Pretty awesome. Running 3 wide for a lot of it. When I heard Danica spun out a little and regained control I pictures her ruining the ending by crashing and having the race finish under caution. Those guys raced hard at the end. Gonna watch the last restart on YouTube. I deliver at 0800 and then off to the house.
