Friends in Town, Darlington Recap

Hey Dad, look who we found

Busy week this week so I'll just offer a brief recap of how Team Nationwide for Harry fared at Darlington. For the first time since I took over, we only had four drivers as no. 71 Andy Lally failed to get in the show.

Here is how our remaining drivers finished up:

no. 16 -- Greg Biffle -- 8th
no. 18 -- Kyle Busch -- 11th
no. 24 -- Jeff Gordon -- 12th
no. 48 -- Jimmie Johnson -- 15th

A late wreck cost us a chance at three in the Top 10, but we finished with four in the Top 15 which would normally be good but not this week. Just getting that fifth car in the lineup would have had us in the Top 10 but we finished tied for 17th. Overall, we fell two spots to 18th but it's early and two good weeks puts us easily in the Top 10, the standings are that tight. We'll be ready for the monster mile at Dover next week.

NOTE: I had the pleasure of touring Julynn and Kennedy Stiff and Kelly Lee around Chicago on Saturday morning/afternoon. We enjoyed breakfast and took in Millenium and Grant Parks, Buckingham Fountain, the Lincoln statue and some shopping. Kennedy enjoyed riding the subway and buses. Thanks for the fun day ladies, look forward to seeing you soon! (The picture of Kennedy Stiff and Kelly Lee was taken at the Nike store in front of a giant Adrian Petersen mural, obviously in honor of Harry.)
