    Jaynelle Ramon

    Juan Montoya is only in his third full-time Cup season and he just might make the Chase this year.

    Every now and then I forget to update my team. Usually it doesn’t hurt too much but when you go from Sonoma to Loudon it does.

    Joey Logano becomes youngest Cup series race winner

    Man, if you guys don’t follow #nascar on Twitter on race days, you should.

    I didn’t think I did very well this week because of some not-so-common top-10 finishers but I did well enough to climb up to 16th.

    Kasey Kahne wins... and cougars everywhere rejoice

    Jaynelle Ramon

    Kasey Kahne pulled off an unexpected win in Sonoma today. Middle-aged female NASCAR fans must be pretty happy right now.

    My new goal of making the top 10 took a hit this week. I slipped from 15th to 19th.

    I know we're all supposed to love Mark Martin but...

    Jaynelle Ramon

    I just can’t bring myself to care about his comeback.

    What happened to you guys this week? I somehow managed to jump from 23rd to 15th-place in our overall standings.

    Tony Stewart has just enough fuel to win in Pocono

    06/07/2009 05:27 PM
    Jaynelle Ramon

    Tony Stewart had just enough fuel to finish up front, do some burn-outs and drive to Victory Lane.

    Someone should tell Kyle Busch he is not a rock star

    06/07/2009 12:29 AM
    Jaynelle Ramon

    He is not Kurt Cobain or Eddie Van Halen or Pete Townshend or Keith Richards. Hell, he’s not even Nick Jonas.

    Remember when I picked Kevin Harvick to win the championship?

    06/02/2009 12:35 PM
    Jaynelle Ramon

    So back in February when I made my Chase predictions I also said I had a feeling about Kevin Harvick.

    I don’t know what happened to everyone this week but I jumped up to 23rd place! Yeah, I’m on my way to the top 20.

    Jimmie Johnson wins in Dover

    05/31/2009 04:39 PM
    Jaynelle Ramon

    Jimmie Johnson did an impressive job of hunting down Tony Stewart and Greg Biffle in the closing laps in Dover today.

    Is it too little too late for Earnhardt?

    05/28/2009 05:12 PM
    Jaynelle Ramon

    We knew it was coming. Rick Hendrick had to make a change to the 88 team and the most logical step was to try a new crew chief, right?

    OK, we were left with a pretty strange top 10 due to the rain at Lowe’s Motor Speedway.
