Either that or Austin Coil was off on the setup, as the car only made it a few feet before blowing the tires off.

Recently Danica, now Ashley. The theory things come in threes will end with Hillary!

Nice to see her win and you know Dad is proud of this defeat.

This was a Win/Win for the team.....Ashley increased her point lead in first place....your first only comes once and next time it most likely will not be with Dad in the other lane...... John will get his 1K win the next time.

Yup!!! I think he gave it to her

the radio conversation prior to the Green light sealed it for me.

Ps How much ink would have this gotten if it went the other way
