Stat wise that should be enough information to get us in trouble.

In other news.

Yes the rumors are true.  Kurt Busch will be doing the double Memorial Day weekend..

 Busch has been working toward the Memorial Day double ever since shaking down an Andretti Autosport IndyCar car in a rookie test at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in early May of 2013. While he was unable to pull a deal together for that year, watching IndyCar rookie Carlos Munoz finish second in the Indy 500 only whetted his appetite for the attempt.

Busch said he has the full support of Stewart-Haas co-owners Gene Haas and Tony Stewart, the latter of whom has attempted the double twice himself. Busch said his Indy 500 entry would be fielded by Andretti Autosport, owned by Michael Andretti, and that the team is close on a sponsor deal although nothing has yet been signed. But Busch is committed to both races regardless.

"We have made a verbal commitment and handshake to each other to do this no matter what," he said. "So he's got a sponsor, he's pushed a contract across the table to me, I've signed it, and we're going to do this one way or another."

Among the rarest of motorsports feats, the double has been done previously by just three drivers since the Indy and Charlotte races have been on the same day -- John Andretti, Robby Gordon, and Stewart. John Andretti was the first in 1994, finishing 10th at Indy and 36th after an engine failure in Charlotte. Gordon attempted it five times, with a few of those thwarted by weather, his best effort coming in 2002 when he placed eighth in Indy and 16th at Charlotte.

It was Stewart, though, who set the standard. In 1999 the former IndyCar and future Sprint Cup champion scored top-10 finishes in both races, placing ninth at Indianapolis and fourth in Charlotte. In 2001 he became the first driver to complete all 1,100 miles of both events, finishing sixth at Indy and third in the Coca-Cola 600 to establish the benchmark for the attempt.

Speaking of Tony Stewart.  Mobil1 has started a new ad campaign..    Pretty good IMO..  but you be the judge






Stay tuned for the next episode.  


Have a great race weekend!!
