Only 42 Confirmed entries, Armando Fritz had a TBD (Pierre Bourque)- makes 43, Only 3 Cup guys and with the experienced drivers from a lot of other series it should be a very interesting, but a lot of cautions! Surprising they could not get Ranger in a ford! Shows that Roush is a cheap S.O.B. not having Shepard in a car.
Patrik Carpentier, Fellows and DJ top finishing Canadians!
Nice to see Carpentier finish 2'nd.
Of course I was cheering for all the Canadian drivers, but it was nice to see a driver that had competed in our top stock car series end up on the podium. I remember watching Patrick at Cayuga last year, wondering at that time how he would stack up against the field in his very first stock car race. He impressed me then and still does!
Congratulations to all our Canadian drivers that competed in the Busch race yesterday. Hope that's just a glimpse of what is to come! We have so many talented guys up here, it's a shame they all don't have a car.
Editted: Yes, and some sponsor missed the boat, they should have had Petey up here for both races! Likewise for you western fans, someone should have sponsored Dowler and the Harr's???
American Nascar officials are wondering what the heck a podium is!
maybe they thought its the canadain relative to a possum
