congrats bro
picked busch for the sweep but I think he fell asleep..lol


You had Bitch Bk and he goes out early, Later I had Blaney go out, we could have jacked up the points had those two finished, lol,

Blaney was strong, and never count out Bitch Bk on 1 1/2 mile track like Texas, on to chaos in Bristol with 700HP and low downforce, gonna be a interesting race, always is,
