Dollar General 300 Miles of Courage - Nationwide Series

The NASCAR Nationwide Series heads to Charlotte for the Dollar General 300 Miles of Courage. I don't think I need to explain the reason for this name quite frankly.

This Week's Go-or-Go Homers:

1 - Jamie McMurray
03 - Scott Riggs
04 - Tim Andrews
08 - Casey Roderick
12 - Sam Hornish Jr.
13 - Jennifer Jo Cobb
16 - Trevor Bayne
20 - Joey Logano
41 - Johnny Chapman
42 - Erik Darnell
44 - Jeff Green (Past Champion #1)
46 - Chase Miller
47 - Scott Speed
48 - Dennis Setzer
49 - Mark Green
50 - TJ Bell
71 - Matt Carter
74 - Mike Harmon
75 - Carl Long
82 - Reed Sorenson
97 - Joe Nemechek (Past Champion #2)
99 - Ryan Truex

I don't even know why they classify the 1, 12, 16, & 20 as Go or Go Homers. Anyone with a brain knows they're gonna make it.

Remember a couple years ago when Denny Hamlin wrecked in qualifying? He didn't make the race. That's why.

Need I say more?

Jamie McMurray (#1) and Jennifer Jo Cobb (#13) withdrew on Tuesday.

I should also mention that today is Morgan Shepherd's 70th birthday! Happy Birthday Morgan!

Morgan Shepherd: Class Act.

One of the only two 70+ that still attempt races. Here's to another 10 years Morgan.

10 years? 20 years is about right.

I would've said 20 but you don't know what could happen in 20 years. That's why I was safe and said 10.

The 1 team withdrew?

Good to see Paul have a good run so far after his win at Indy.
