I only run 20% races, lol. I am also on my winter break which ends tomorrow so it'll slow down.

20% races will do it haha. Plus I like to watch the replays and write a race recap/press release type of thing so I can highlight key moments of the race. It's just my style, but it does take a lot more time. I don't do the Lap-by-Lap Summary that I did a little bit last year anymore because they took too long to type up plus I felt they weren't completely necessary.

Yeah I like this style. Not too long of races, some good results, and you don't have to sit there staring at the same race for multiple hours. Just my style.

17 Matt Kenseth (1 Win - Darlington)

There will be a short break for the crews to work on their cars and then we will have the 40-lap middle segment. We will be interviewing some drivers in this period.
Reporter: Matt, how do you feel about the race so far?
Matt Kenseth: The Valvoline Ford was absolutely great this first segment. Kyle nearly got us there at the end, but we have pole for the next segment, which we can hopefully win also.
Reporter: Tony, you're not looking so good out there. How do you feel you can do this next segment?
Tony Stewart: Well, our car's been absolute sh*t tonight, and the whole season for that fact. I can't wait to get some better equipment next year.
Reporter: Brad, you've had a dismal season so far, but your race has been pretty good. How ya been feeling?
I have a feeling that this Hellmann's Chevy will do really good. Staying inside the Top 10 in this race so far has been absolutely awesome. I hope to keep it up.
After the race, look for a silly season update for Season 2's roster!

FROM VICTORY LANE
Reporter: Kyle, how does it feel to be 2nd the whole race, then pass for the win on the last lap?
Kyle Busch: Woo! It feels great. I was setting it up to be that way, and luckily we were there right at the end. Thanks to New Balance for putting sponsorship on this Toyota for this race. Woo!
Reporter: Kurt, you had a good run there at the end. Given a few more laps, do you think you could've won?
Kurt Busch: I definitely think I could've beat Carl and my brother. The Sony HDTV Dodge was hooked up in that last segment. I'm glad we had a good run.
Reporter: Brian, you finished last after a wreck on Lap 23. Do you think that could've been preventable?
Brian Vickers: Well, sure. But we were in the wrong place at the wrong time. We'll get them next week at the actual race.
SILLY SEASON REPORT IS NEXT
