Three to go

Two overdue races to report:

Quang's Racin'' Kahne swept the TUMS Fast Relief 500 at Martinsville, a result that guaranteed that everyone will finish with at least $100 in "earnings" (less the $145 entry fee). So, basically nobody is going to get screwed this year. Denny Hamlin and Mark Martin finished 1-2 to fuel Quang's team score of 39.

At our last mid-major, Talladega, Todd's Shake N Bake squad got awarded the individual win (worth $9) and Joe's squad jumped back into the money lead by outdistancing my Redneck Tribe, 63-77, for an $18 prize.

Up next: AAA 500 in Fort Worth on Sunday, a standard $7/$14 event.
