According to Jayski, it looks like Jeff Green will move over to the #14, replacing Eric McClure once again this week. According to Team McClure, Inc., Eric was diagnosed with acute renal failure, or the rapid loss of kidney function, on August 12th. McClure's status is still listed as week-to-week. It is now expected that the #91 will withdraw from the entry list.

Can Eric McClure ever catch a break?

DAMNIT. I ACCIDENTALLY CALLED IT AGAIN. ;_____;

>49 cars on the entry list.

Tanner Berryhill and Mike Bliss are both driving the 17 car this weekend.

Jayski....
Had Dillion in the 31 lol

Slightly off topic but this is a car Trevor Bayne's racing at a dirt track not far from Bristol in a Lucas Oil Dirt Late Model race tonight.

 
From what I can read, it looked like Bayne never really got into dirt racing until last year.

Drew Herring is is the #18 Gibbs car. <-- WUT

TriStar is good to fans. They even write where they are staying on their cars so the fans can go driver stalking if they want.  

Well, ESPN jinxed Vickers, and everyone's slipping and sliding

Glad I didn't see this race.

Daily reminder

Trash City 250.

Has anyone else noticed that he's the only person whose number of victories in the Top 3 divisions of NASCAR are added up by ESPN? You never hear about how many wins Keselowski or Martin have in the Top 3 divisions. Hell, Ambrose and Fellows own the record for most wins by a non-American driver in the Top 3 divisions (6), and you never hear about that.

You do have to give him credit though, he lapped almost 75% of the field in less than 35 miles. And he dominated the race. If only he could do that in Cup. And also not be the biggest choke ever in the Chase.
