Is there some reason the list has to be all caps ? http://www.motorsportforum.com/forums/images/icons/rolleyes.gif

Yes sort of. It's a cut and paste from my Excel spreadsheet file. (Since I print out on an old inkjet printer in fonts 10 or smaller, the caps are needed.;-) If one of the symbols above ^ will change caps I'd do it, but I'm not willing to completely retype.

[muggle not]

McMurray is having a pretty darn good season so far. Not much being said about him though.

Tough week again for the Red Bull team.

I'll be glad when Dale Jarrett uses up his Champion's Provisionals.

Dave Blaney in 11th shows that it isn't because a Toyota won't run.

I had hopes for Casey Mears this year in the #25, but it looks like he will be a disappointment this year. Will this year be his last?
