Congratulations to Jamie McMurray for winning the Brickyard 400 - AND winning the Daytona 500 in the same year! Kudos also to Chip Ganassi for pulling off the Motorsports Trifecta of winning the Daytona 500, the Indy 500, and the Brickyard 400 all in one year - the only owner who has ever acheived this!

People often complain about NASCAR not listening to the fans, but sometimes they can listen to them too much. The talk of revamping the points system is a classic example of this. NASCAR is now bowing to all the whining about Jimmie Johnson and Chad Knaus winning too much, and is reportably considering revamping the points system. Revamping the points system to appease the whiners in an attempt to change the outcome of the Championship not only won’t work, it’ll make a joke out of the sport! In addition, when the same teams dominate the new points system, the very same whiners who demanded the changes will be the first to start whining that it’s all rigged again! Whiners are never happy!
Changing the points system takes a lot away from the historical value of being able to compare one era of drivers to another. There’s also a price to pay from moving away from tradition. So, NASCAR should think long and hard before making any changes to the Championship rules. While I was in favor of the Chase system, I appreciated that they tried to keep it as close to the traditional system as possible. They kept the points system the same for those in the Chase, and then doing a best out of ten races playoff. This mad it so consistency would still be the main factor, and not just that someone lucked out and did well for a couple races. I think with the current system, the best team wins the Championship. Any other result from a playoff system cheapens the sport!
I have a few words on the latest Carl Edwards Brad Keselowski incident at Gateway:
I’m all for the bump and run, but as Dale Earnhardt, his son Junior, and most other drivers other drivers have said: “If you do the bump and run on a guy, you better make sure you can get away from him or expect to be wrecked in return!”
Congrats to Austin Dillon, grandson of Richard Childress, for his first win in the Truck Series driving the the famous #3 paint scheme. 
In other related Earnhardt news, Ty Dillon, Austin’s little brother, came in 2nd in the ARCA race and Jeffery Earnhardt, Dale’s grandson, just got a Truck ride. I watched Jeffery race against Joey Logano and Austin Dillon in the East series. He wasn’t at the same talent level as those two, but he showed promise and seems very dedicated. Will be fun to watch all three of them, Austin, Jeffery and Ty, and see how their careers progress.
Sorry I’m slow with the report, been busy the last few days.
First: What a race! I tell you, Dale Earnhardt is still making his presence known at Daytona! First, Kevin Harvick and Dale’s old team win the Budweiser Shootout! Then the the team wins the Daytona 500… and Jamie McMurray racing for Earnhardt Ganssi goes on to win the Daytona 512 or whatever it ended up being. Next, Dale’s son and nephew Dale Junior and Tony Juniorwin the NW race at Daytona running Dale’s #3 and classic Wrangler scheme! And to cap off the Earnhardt streak at Daytona, Harvick wins AGAIN in the Firecracker 400!
We finally have a 3WideAlley.com member leading our league - and right when it counts with one race to go! Fish8bait continued his charge to the front and took the lead with a solid finish at Loudon! WTG Fish! Congratulations! 
If Fish keeps this up, he just might pass my main team which is in 5th globally. I might have to fillet him if he does THAT! 
Well, we have a new 3WA member up front in the SN Cap league! Fish8Bait had a fantastic day - almost 1,100 points for the weekend! That score moved him all the way up to 2nd in our league and 22nd globally! I figure he’s within stiking distance of a top 5 finish globablly! Congratulations Fish! WTG!
Moe55 had a stellar day also! Almost as high of a score as Fish! She moved up to 7th in the league and 48th globally! The cream rises to the top in this game eventually - too bad it’s not still a full season game (also too bad they’re cancelling it ) as we’d have several 3WA members battling to for the championship of the game if it went the full season I’m sure! 
Well, my boy RonTheDog is still leading amongst 3WA posters, but he fell back to 3rd overall in the league and was FINALLY passed by his dad with my main team in the global ranking. He’s still doing great, so keep up the good work my boy!
Fish8Bait should go out of town more often: he moved up to 6th in the league and 67th globally. Good job bud!
Well, every week I think the boy’s run is going to bust, and then he kicks all our arses again! He’s still leading the league and has moved up to 16th Globally! Congrats to RonTheDog! 
The front page group has been real solid! Fish8bait is leading that group in 8th; Moe55 still running strong in 9th; leftturns190 in 10th; CrRacing in 11th and NASCARNutter in 12th and Lonestar in 13th. WTG group, and I think we ALL moved up Globally! We also have another member up in the top 20 again: my girl Becca5 in 20th! Welcome back to page one my girl!
All the invites have gone out, so you should have yours by now. All 3WA and any of our friends are invited. If you need the link still, contact me. Make sure to sign up before Pocono because they won’t let you join the group if you haven’t started a team by then!
KingKyle18: Some of you have heard that I discovered that KingKyle18 is a friend of a lot of us - under a different persona, of course. I’m not trying to be dramtic by withholding who it is, it’s just that as a friend, I wanted to give him a chance to explain. It really caught me off guard and I woulda never guessed. I like the person a lot - under the persona I know him as - I’m not so found of his KK persona, however. Perhaps there’s an explanation for all this. I certainly can’t see what might explain it, but since I considered him a friend, I felt I should give him a chance to explain for himself. If he doesn’t, I will probably just say who it was, but I would appreciate it if he would explain for himself. A lot like him under the persona we know him as, so I think he’d be given a fair shake if he came out and explained the situation. As far as I know, KK18 never threatened or did anything real slimey, he was just REAL annoying… especially to us Junior fans. But it wasn’t like he was a psycho or anything, so I think he’d be given a fair shot.
