Bad news for me again... "unplanned for" family event will prevent me from marshaling the race. I'll get the results posted as soon as I can, but it might be pretty late. I'll make the announcement now... the next two races after Bristol will be die-cast races, Darlington and Indy are two of the big races of the NASCAR calendar. Bristol is a big deal as well.
