odds that Kvapil or Sorenson finish the race? Not good.

odds that Kvapil or Sorenson finish the race? Not good.

I cocked up... Kvapil runs every race, unless he is in the #52 (which he is and I didn't notice) and Sorenson mentioned being excited to run Robbie's #7 so I assumed he would run too.

Think you are probably right though looking back at the number of practice laps they ran.

Oh well. Pick the winner of the race to the garage!

Didn't look at practice results, but knowing the drivers, I figured neither would finish.

Sorenson still running, but all the way at the back of the field.

[Optional]

You were right. But he's only parked it twice before all year. Admittedly this makes 3 times in 4 starts though. :\

Did Kyle get edged by Kenseth? He was leading for so long

Did Kyle get edged by Kenseth? He was leading for so long

Kyle finished 6th, Kenseth 5th.

[yisman]

yeah, that really sucked for me. Otherwise was doing well until Kyle got edged.

We broke the streak of no one picking a winner. At least one person took Kurt.

CarolinaDaze came within a whisker of the win this week with his 4 plus Johnson to win, but Kenseth to run 2nd just wasn't quite enough to beat Yisman with 4 plus Johnson and Edwards.
