This week NASCAR has moved about 250 miles Southeast from where the race was held last to The Valley of The Sun, better known as Phoenix International Raceway, which is actually located in Avondale, AZ.  This is the second race in the Western Swing of 2015.

This week the consensus of of the players have voiced their opinion, and slightly over a quarter of the players, six in all, have picked Kevin Harvick as their choice in the Camping World,com 400(k).  Those players include Dawn, “Jason The Latent Tie Dye Hippie”, “Jim, aka Chiefy”, “Doug the Former Mudslinger and Psychic, Turned Kettle Corn Dude”, Brandon, and last but not least, “Leon The Former Airline Captain, Part-Time Cardiologist, Strawberry Picker, and Former Elephant Driver, as well as Your Most Humble Sheriff”.

There are three drivers who accumulated two players each in their rooting section this week.

In Denny Hamlin’s corner this week is “A&M Aggie Sue” and “Lonna The Quilt Angel”.

Both Zee and “Jeremy The Coach” are riding shotgun with Kasey Kahne at PIR.

Lastly, “Jerry The Buschwacker”, and “Bernie The Bay Area Bandit and Password Queen” are hoping that Carl Edwards can score his first win with his new team, Joe Gibbs Racing.

The above enumeration consists of twelve players, which means that another ten players have independent choices for PIR.  That means that nearly one half of our group is “in bidnez” for themselves this week!

Good luck to all!

I will be posted down on pit row for the race on Sunday getting those hard to get photos, additionally, I will be in the garage area for Friday and Saturday!

I will leave you with the somewhat rearranged and paraphrased words of the songwriter Jimmy Webb, “By The Time You Read This Article I’ll be in Phoenix”!!

TIL NEXT TIME, PULL YOUR GLOVES UP, FLIP YOUR VISOR DOWN, AND LET’S GO RACIN’!
