JMO.......Yesterday was incredible.....it was like a beautiful choreographed dance.....Together the four SHR cars made the rest of the field look like Bumbling Idiots.....instead of seeing what had happened when SHR teamed together...they didn't stay in line, they went three wide which slowed them down, it was every man for themselves ....That strategy played right into the hands of SHR, so much so that pitting early at the end of each stage was impossible because they would have gone a lap down... And the beauty of it all, they never caught on.....Rousch Yates engines are incredible, but team work is what kept this game alive....I wondered who thought this up and in this mornings Newspaper they said it was ZIPPY....I knew he as a good crew chief, but this is pure GENIUS.....If NASCAR would have not had the third lap under caution, it would have been a SHR finish....1-2-3-4, but all in all they received max Stage points and the first and second place finish....Not a bad day at Talladega......

and it was the first time all season that my daughter and I did not fall asleep part way through the race...now that is saying something

[Annalee]

I listened on the scanner yesterday too.....Lots of code for SHR drivers...They all wanted to take the lead....And on the last two laps they were given the okay to do just that....I can't tell you how many times between the Fab Four they wanted to jump out, but rules were to stay in line....And had we not had the extra caution lap ....It would have been the somethiing for the history books.....It truly was exciting.....What I loved about it was, how bad the rest of the field looked....SHR picked up new sponsors yesterday...

That was poetry in rapid motion. When you unload 4 cars and they go so fast, you don't have to be a genius to work-out a race plan. I expect to see the same dominance in Kansas.

Who are our new sponsors? I know that our current sponsors got a ton of TV time Sunday. This is why sponsors put their logos on the hoods and quarter panels of race cars....exposure!!!! All of SHR's sponsors got their money's worth Sunday.

[Annalee]

Hunts Brothers Pizza...primary sponsor for three races for HARVICK in the cup cars...They are sponsors.on the Zfinity car also....Aric ALMIROLA.... A mega data company....Can't remember the name.....Still looking... I'll find it...but all others are out ther pleading and these people are coming to them..not bad....plus Peak to the 14....

Can't wait for Kansas.....

With Harvick leaving Xfinity for good, Hunt Brothers made it clear recently they still wanted to be his sponsor even if it meant making the move to the Cup Series.
