Power Rankings -- Texas

I like what they have to say about Tony. He's up from 13th last week in their rankings to 6th this week.

Ah finally they admit it is the man(driver)- or I should say, Smoke is the man!!!

Yep yep.

The man is just THAT DARN GOOD!

Tony definetely has the determination to accomplish something when he has been challenged. I think it's great that he is doing so well, so early. Would really like to see him win a race soon!

Is it selfish of me to not want it to be this weekend because I won't be able to watch the race???????

I have a UCLA vs UofA softball game. I don't know who to root for because I like both teams.

Ummmm...yes. LOL

"Tony's current ride: Seventh in 2009 after finishing 31st in 2008.
Tony's former ride: 34th in 2009 after finishing ninth in 2008.

Anybody who still thinks racing is only about the machines and not about the men behind the wheel needs to shut up."

Actually I think the former 70 team was outside the top 35. In fact I'm almost positive. That's why Smoke needed the past champion provisional as insurance for the first 5 races this year.

No matter, it just makes the point even stronger. Cool little blurb.

Since you will likely be outdoors this Sunday if you hear a rumbling noise about the time the final laps come it will be Tony fans stomping our feet shaking our fist saying come on come on come on!!!!! We will gladly do a repeat the next race should you miss the first win!:)

It may have been in 34th at this time last year but did finish outside the top 35 overall. It is definitely a huge turn around.

Ok as long as he repeats it.

My sister will have her iPhone because I'm not the only race fan who'll be there. We like softball, but we like racing more, we're going to support my niece who plays softball.

Then a double win would be a real treat! Good luck to her! and the team!

Ok so I reread what I wrote and realize that it made no sense.

Ok, we go to these games yearly because UCLA hosts the girls softball league once every year. So my niece plays girls softball locally. We go because she's in to the softball, as are we, but it's a family tradition thing.

Whenever a youngin, which right now are the grandchildren, play a sport we're out at every game. That's just the way our family operates. It's cool.

Ok, so this link automatically updates weekly. You should notice who's no longer ranked in the top 15.

So Tony is now 1st on the list. Ryan is fifth. This week's has some pretty amusing commentary.

The power rankings are about momentum. Stewart has a lot of momentum right now so he's on top. =p
